BAnne Whitney, a sophomore(大学二年级学生)at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college.I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test.Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldnt think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said ,My first chemistry test was very difficult.Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers.Yet I couldnt even write them down!These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety.When a student feels worried and uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does.The student cant write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently test anxiety had been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university counseling(咨询) courses try to help students. In these courses,counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities,students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to bee calm in very tense situations.By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then es out without difficulty on a test.Martin Smith, an expert at the University of California explains.”With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking out program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement.With some,the improvement is very great.”65. What does the underlined phrase blank out in Para1 probably mean?A. to cover something pletely.B. to think up an answer swiftly.C. to be unable to remember something.D. to be able to think normally.66. The author mentions the experiences of the two students in Para1 in order to _.A. provide suggestions for their problemsB. expose the problems some university students faceC. explain the origin of their problems D. predict the future of the university students67. Which of the following about test anxiety is NOT true?A. Test anxiety is considered a real problem.B. Test anxiety is never recognized as an excuse for laziness.C. Extreme intension and too much worry usually lead to test anxiety.D. Low grades are sometimes the result of test anxiety.68. According to the passage, to deal with test anxiety, students are supposed to _.A. be well prepared for their testsB. find out the cause of the test anxietyC. consult some famous doctors D. take a course on how to manage the test anxiety69. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?A. All students could make great improvement after taking a special university counselingCourses.B. Almost all students bee relaxed after taking a special university counseling courses.C. Most students found it difficult to control nervousness even though they had taken a special university counseling courses.D. No students found it easy to show learned information even though they had taken a special university counseling courses. CAndy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry that I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin! Thats right. Andy and Amy(thats me) have the same curly(卷曲的) hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn character. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually hold pletely opposite opinions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTAS proposal(提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free. Boys would wear white or blue button-down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer(运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweater, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer. I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I cant tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare , unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm-hit place, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor. I also wouldnt mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly wouldnt mind not seeing kids showing off designer clothes. Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he cant believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dads high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies(嬉皮士) they were!“If I have to wear a uniform, I wont feel like me!” he declared, to which I replied, “I feel sorry for you, dear brother. I had no idea that you are so fragile(脆弱的)that you would be pletely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer. That really made him angry. Then he said, “Youre just copying what that new music teacher is saying! That is not true. Im saying exactly what I think,” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “ a very rude manner.” “You have always been stupid, and you know it!” he shouted. “Is that so? Anyone who doesnt agree with you is stupid. And thats the stupidest thing of all!” I said. Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmasters decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and Im pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you votefor or against?70. The passage is probably about _. A. conflicts of the twins B. a pensonal experience told in the third person C. a joke told in the first person D. a dress principle being discussed71. Amy and Andy often quarrel with each other because _ A. theyre twins B. they like different
