Question

【題目】 For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down.【1】Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

【2】Here are some advice:

Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.

Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.

Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.

You need exercise to work well.【3】

Stop thinking about the future and failing.

If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done.【4】

To this advice, we could add:

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much.【5】Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

A. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings.

B. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise.

C. How to get through exams?

D.You cannot change what you have written!

E.Walk, run and play sport—whatever you enjoy.

【解析】

短文大意：本文關注的是考試壓力問題。針對有些人因為考試緊張而生病或擔驚受怕，作者認為不要隱藏自己的感受去和別人談一談，并就如何通過考試提出了幾點建議。

【1】根據(jù)上文If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. 有些人發(fā)現(xiàn)考試時間如此糟糕，以至于他們生病了，因為他們害怕失敗;他們害怕讓父母和家人失望，可知考試能讓人生病或擔心，If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings.符合句意，故選A。

【2】根據(jù)Here are some advice和下文內(nèi)容，可知介紹的是能夠順利通過考試的建議。備選句子How to get through exams?符合句意，故選C。

【3】根據(jù)上文You need exercise to work well.，可知Walk, run and play sport—whatever you enjoy.符合句意，故選E。

【4】根據(jù)上文What is done is done.，可知無法改變了。備選句子You cannot change what you have written!符合句意，故選D。

【5】根據(jù)上文If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed.和下文.Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.，可知需要做些別的事。備選句子Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise.符合句意，故選B。

補全短文，要求根據(jù)上下文選擇合適的句子填空，使句意通順，內(nèi)容連貫，表達順暢，重在考查學生對所學語言的綜合運用能力和對文段的理解判斷能力。本題有一定難度，但只要聯(lián)系整篇短文，把握好上下句的意思和關系，正確作答是不成問題的。
