Jasmine is on my Zoom screen. She is pulling her hair. As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases. “My exam is on Friday,” she tells me. “What if I get a question I can’t answer What if I don’t get a good grade ”
Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety. The word “anxiety” originates from Latin, meaning narrowing. The “narrowing” describes what’s happening in Jasmine’s nervous system. Basically, the sympathetic (交感神经) branch — fight-or-flight — has switched on, and her muscles have narrowed as if she’s preparing to do battle or run away. Commonly known as the “rest and digest” branch, the parasympathetic (副交感神经) nervous system plays an important role in thinking and learning by promoting a state of relaxation and calmness. When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration.
There are three simple tools for engaging the parasympathetic branch: breathing, grounding, and sensing. Breathing means a steady flow of breath; grounding means feeling the chair and the floor supporting you; and sensing means turning on one or more of the five senses.
In more than 40 years of coaching test-takers, I have observed how often they hold their breath, how nervous and ungrounded they are, and how unaware they are of feeling the touch of clothes on their own bodies. No wonder people are exhausted by the end of a long test! When they use the three calming tools, they create the state necessary for sitting still, thinking, remembering, reasoning, and, finally, answering questions.
We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm
4. Why does the author mention Jasmine in the first paragraph
A. To show students’ hard life.
B. To introduce a problem students face.
C. To compare different attitudes towards tests.
D. To analyse students’ behaviors during video calls.
5. What change would the engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system bring
A. Improved attention. B. Worsened anxiety.
C. Tightened muscles. D. Quickened response.
6. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer thinks it important ________.
A. to take some tests to make progress
B. to attach importance to comparison and competition
C. to learn to avoid unexpected and unwanted things in life
D. to prepare students with the ways to keep calm during tests
7. What is the text mainly about
A. What do students face in tests.
B. How to deal with test anxiety.
C. How to engage the nervous system.
D. What is the origin of the word “anxiety”.
C
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.
The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.”
Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”
The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs ” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.”
8. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s .
A. Thinking method. B. Decision making.
C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability.
9. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”
A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept.
C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments.
10. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work.
B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces.
C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off.
D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives.
D
Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.
12. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs
A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell.
C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers.
13. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton
A. The teeth that baleen whales have.
B. The smell that phytoplankton send.
C. The sound waves that zooplankton create.
D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
14. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4
A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples.
C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences.
15. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph
A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food.
C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Judy tapped “join” on the screen, her only motivation being the extra credits. “If you join the speech contest, you will gain five,” she told her friend Leo, who was lazily leaning against the wall. “Easy points,” Leo laughed, thinking a speech was just a collection of beautiful words.
To save time, Judy fed the topic “My Hero” to an AI tool. Within thirty seconds, a polished text appeared: Newton, Lincoln, Tesla... The stories of virtually any famous person came alive with perfect sentences. She printed it out, feeling satisfied with this neat yet shallow, fancy article. To her, it was a quick way to win without much effort.
However, the rehearsal (彩排) was a total disaster. Under the bright stage lights, she struggled to recall the long, difficult sentences. The words felt like borrowed clothes that didn’t fit. Coach Kim frowned, his eyes full of disappointment. “Good voice, Judy, but where is your heart These aren’t your heroes.” Judy forced a smile, but the coach’s words stayed in her mind all afternoon.
That night, the familiar rattle (哐当声) of metal wheels woke her up. Looking out of the window, she saw her parents pushing their food cart (小推车) into the cold darkness. Dad whispered, “Fog’s thick. Gloves ready ” Mom answered, “Always.” Watching their fading figures, Judy felt a sharp pang in her heart. Suddenly, the “heroes” in her AI-generated text seemed so far away, while the true heroes were right here in the cold wind.
She sat at her laptop, deleted every word of the AI text, and typed: “My heroes leave at 4 am, so the city can eat at 7 am.” She wrote about the worn-out gloves and the smell of steaming hot dogs. The words were plain, but they breathed with true love.
The contest day finally came. Judy stood behind the curtain, legs shaking. Her parents sat in the third row, still wearing their faded work jackets. Judy pressed her handwritten speech to her chest, felt her heart pounding heavily, and whispered: “Stay calm.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came Judy’s turn.

【答案】Dear Lucy,
I am so delighted to know that you want to buy some souvenirs with Chinese characteristics. I’m glad to recommend the Chinese brush to you.
The Chinese brush, a traditional writing tool dating back to 2000 years ago, is ranked as one of the Four Treasures of the Chinese Study. Frankly speaking, in ancient China, calligraphy and paintings were mostly created with it. As far as I’m concerned, the Chinese brush is a perfect gift for your relatives who are fond of Chinese items.
I sincerely hope my advice can be of great benefit to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】范文
Then came Judy’s turn. Stepping onto the bright stage, Judy took a deep breath and looked straight at her parents. Instead of reciting stiff fancy sentences, she spoke softly and sincerely. She shared how her parents stuck to their food cart every early morning, braving cold wind and thick fog to bring warmth to others. Her plain but heartfelt words flowed naturally. Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about their hard work and silent dedication. The whole audience listened quietly, totally touched by her genuine story.
After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. Everyone stood up, cheering for her moving speech. Judy spotted her parents clapping warmly with tearful smiles, their eyes filled with pride. Coach Kim nodded in approval, clearly impressed by her sincere performance. Judy finally understood that true speeches lie in real feelings rather than fancy AI words. True heroes are ordinary people who stick to their duties and bring warmth to life.
