閱讀下面材料，從每題所給的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B和C）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler … and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10%.
Scientists in UK did the study on 448 students. The students were studying for different degrees  at the University of East London. Only 25% of them entered the exam hall with water.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought water with them got better grades by 2% to10%.
Scientists also predicted the students’ scores according to their normal schoolwork. They wrote down their possible scores on paper before exams.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also reduce anxiety (焦慮), which has a bad effect on exam performances.
“Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) with water during exams,” one of the scientists said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. It may help you pass the exam!
【小題1】According to the study, students who bring water to exams may ______.
A. get better scores
B. feel worried in exams
C. be smarter than others
【小題2】How many students brought water during the exam in the study by the UK scientists?

【小題3】Having enough water in exams ______.
A. makes the students smarter
B. helps the students stay calm
C. improves the students’ scores by 20%
【小題4】The underlined word “predicted” means “______”.
A. 預(yù)測          B. 提高         C. 更正
【小題5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The more water, the higher scores
B. Anxiety in the exams
C. Water helps in exams


【小題1】A
【小題2】B
【小題3】B
【小題4】A
【小題5】C

考點(diǎn)：推理計(jì)算題。
【小題2】根據(jù)文章可知是對(duì)448人做研究，有25%的人帶水，可推算出是112人。

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.      Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解決) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
【小題1】Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?

A．What can they do about this?
B．Where do the problems come from?
C．When did they have these problems?
D．Why do they have so many problems?
【小題2】In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A．a(chǎn)nswer a questionB．give an example
C．introduce his friendD．share his experience
【小題3】According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A．Laura’s teacher
B．the writer of the passage
C．a(chǎn) person with a problem
D．a(chǎn)n expert on students’ problem
【小題4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Few children are careful with their money.
B．Parents are more experienced than children
C．Talking to someone helps to solve problems.
D．Students often have a lot of worries at school

"Chinese style road crossing" is a hot topic in China. Many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers.
"Chinese style road crossing" means that you cross roads with lots of people and you don't think about traffic lights at all.
Beijing government announced that people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. What’s more, using the diagonal to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an "L" shape. Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop "Chinese style road crossing". Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year. This punishment can call on people to realize the importance of traffic safety. However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. "Everyone should follow the rules, or the country will lose its order," said People Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. For example, Beijing government said it should not only punish these jaywalkers, but also improve road safety facilities, such as properly fixing traffic lights and building overpasses*. Anyhow safety must come first.
