passage A A One warm September night Mira had come down to the beach to enjoy the night air She closed her eyes and listened to the waves Suddenly she could hear another sound so she opened her eyes and looked down at the sand It was moving All of a sudden she could see a tiny head coming out Then a turtle 龟 appeared One by one they struggled out of their underground nests Mira looked in surprise at the baby turtles Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves towards the dunes 沙丘 Suddenly she remembered something her grandmother had told her Sea turtles bury their eggs on the beach every year in April and in September Those baby turtles hatch 孵出 and head back down to the sea But some of them never make it Sometimes they die going across the dunes trying to find those bright lights on the houses Every day there are more houses being built on the dunes That means more and more lights to confuse the sea turtles Mira looked out across the dunes at her house Mira saw her mother and father sitting on the porch She could see them because her house had two bright lights that lit up the porch Mira began to run to her house and shouted The turtles are hatching We have to help the turtles With these words Mira ran into the house and turned off the bright porch lights In a rush she was off running down the dunes with her whole family following her They reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves Mira watched as the last turtle entered the water As the turtle swam away it looked back at Mira In the moonlight Mira thought she saw it smile 56 Where did the story happen A On a beach at nightB In a house near the dunes 6 C On a front porch in the evening D In the shallow water of the ocean 57 How did Mira feel when she saw the baby turtles appear A Proud B Sad C Confused D Surprised 58 How did Mira know the lights confused the turtles A She read it in a bookB Her grandmother told her C She learned about the turtles at school D Her parents taught her about the turtles 59 Why did Mira run to her house A To get a flashlightB To turn off the porch light C To communicate with her parents D To ask her grandmother about the lights 60 This story is mainly about a girl A enjoying the oceanB turning lights off at night C saving the baby turtlesD learning from her grandparents B B Some students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material Sian Beilock a psychology professor at the University of Chicago has studied these highly anxious exam takers They start worrying about the results They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want And when we worry it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam says Sian Beilock The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students They gave them two short math exams After the first one they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam The researchers added to the pressure They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20 worse on the second exam But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5 Next the researchers used younger students in a biology class They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B compared with a B for those who did not But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation Professor Beilock says students can try itit themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance 61 In which paragraph does the author introduce the background 背景 of his study 7 A In the last paragraph B In the second paragraph C In the third paragraphD In the first paragraph 62 According to Sian Beilock if you want to succeed in an exam you should A focus your attention on the examB be as serious as you can about the exam C set clear study goals and keep themD make a careful preparation for the exam 63 We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam A are more likely to get better exam results B worry more about the exam in their mind C have a positive attitude towards exam results D have a strong will to be successful in the exam 64 The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to A looking for a chance B preparing for the exam C writing about the feelings D taking the exam 65 If a student writes about his feelings before an exam he A will improve his exam result B can keep a good memory of the exam C will get support from his teachers D will forget what he has prepared for the exam C C Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison However most people don t know the name of the man who invented the television Philo Farnsworth Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm As a boy he loved to learn about science and he read a lot of science books When he was only thirteen years old he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field The potatoes grew in long lines side by side This made a shape in Philo s mind This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass But he was poor so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time Later Philo worked at many different jobs He worked with trees He worked on broken radios He worked on trains He also worked as a street cleaner At last two rich men heard about his idea for television and they gave him the money to make it On September 7th 1927 they watched Philo test the machine he built When Philo turned on the machine a small line could be seen on the glass Philo said There you have it electric television Later a big company RCA said they had made the first television Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them Finally he won Then World War Two started in 1939 During the war Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of buildingbuilding upup his television company After the war other bigger richer companies started making televisions In the end Philo had 8 to sell his company 66 Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text A To remember both of them B To prove their wisdom C To introduce the topic of the text D To explain their relationships 67 According to the text how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV A 27 years old B 21 years old C 33 years old D 39 years old 68 Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from A the radio B
