贵阳市2024高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（27）附答案

　　课时作业(二十七)　[选修6　Unit 2 Poems](限时：35分钟)阅读理解nts get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers.

　　Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”

　　Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test 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 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.

　　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 test.

　　Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B＋， compared to a B－for those who did not.who'd done the writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.

　　But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.

　　Seen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed(相形见绌)by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area.de necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.

　　It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimaginable to most people.

　　We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces governing our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that. As yet largely unseen，but just as serious，are the influences we are having on the oceans. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level.being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over. Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine species are driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed. With the decrease and removement of their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural recovery.

　　One possible version：

　　Success will be gained after times of failure so long as we are good at drawing lessons from failures or mistakes and stick to what we are doing.That is the message carried in the proverb “Failure is the mother of success”．

　　For example，when I began to learn English，I was slow and clumsy that I read the words wrong from time to time.My poor pronunciation made myself laughed at by my classmates.But I didn't give up and kept practising reading aloud English every day.And my teacher gave me a helping hand，getting me right whenever I made an error.

　　In a word，as long as we don't lose heart and keep on trying，we are sure to go through failure and achieve our aims.

　　Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat？Why do they use pig and pork，cow and beef，and sheep and mutton？To find out，we have to go back to 1066，when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)，which not only changed the government but also changed the language.French became the language of the upper classes of society.And it remained that way for 300 years.Only these high society people could afford to eat meat.As a result，French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language.However，poor English farmers raised the animals.So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon.

　　The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.

　　Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words！Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins.Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English；only the pronunciations change.Other words such as ballet or a la carte(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.

　　In French grammar，nouns have either a male or female gender，so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each.English has only one adjective that does this，and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair.Blond is used for men，and blonde describes women.And they are also nouns.

　　Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.The French phrase a la mode means “in style”．In English，the phrase means “with ice cream”．Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!

　　Now，as you learn English，you’re on your way to learning French!

　　16．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because________.A．too many French moved to Britain

　　A．Adopted.B．Kept. C．Introduced.D．Deserted.

　　18．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?

　　A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.

　　B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.

　　C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.

　　D．Because English has great influences on the French language.

　　19．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.

　　A．no words have the same pronunciations

　　B．all words have the same pronunciations

　　C．English nouns have a male or female gender

　　D．French nouns have different adjective forms

　　20．What conclusion can we draw from the text?

　　A．Language is closely related to history and culture.

　　B．French and English words have nothing in common.

　　C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.

　　D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.
