Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AOne warm September night, Mira had come down to the beach to enjoy the night air. She closed her eyes and l
27、istened to the waves. Suddenly, she could hear another sound, so she opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a sudden she could see a tiny head coming out. Then a turtle(龟) appeared! One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Mira looked in surprise at the b
28、aby turtles.Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves towards the dunes(沙丘). Suddenly, she remembered something her grandmother had told her.“Sea turtles bury their eggs on the beach every year in April and in September.
29、Those baby turtles hatch(孵出 ) and head back down to the sea. But some of them never make it. Sometimes they die going across the dunes, trying to find those bright lights on the houses. Every day there are more houses being built on the dunes. That means more and more lights to confuse the sea turtl
30、es.”Mira looked out across the dunes at her house. Mira saw her mother and father, sitting on the porch. She could see them because her house had two bright lights that lit up the porch. Mira began to run to her house and shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help the turtles!” With these w
31、ords, Mira ran into the house and turned off the bright porch lights. In a rush she was off running down the dunes with her whole family following her. They reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves. Mira watched as the last turtle entered the water. As
32、the turtle swam away, it looked back at Mira. In the moonlight, Mira thought she saw it smile.56. Where did the story happen?A. On a beach at night B. In a house near the dunes.C.

35、an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from get
36、ting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam,” says Sian Beilock.The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math exams. After the
37、first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other
38、students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They tol
39、d them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+, compared with a Bfor those who did not.But what can they do if students do not have
40、 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 they can still improve their performance.61. In which paragraph does the author introduce the background(背景) of his study? A. In the la
41、st paragraph. B. In the second paragraph.C. In the third paragraph D. In the first paragraph.62. According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam you should _.A. focus your attention on the exam B. be as serious as you can about the examC. set clear study goals and keep them D. make a ca

We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam _.A. are more likely to get better exam results B. worry more about the exam in their mindC. have a positive attitude towards exam results D. have a strong will to be successful in the exam64.
43、 The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.A. looking for a chance B. preparing for the examC. writing about the feelings D. taking the exam65.

However, most people dont know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potat
45、o farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long li
46、nes, side by side. This made a shape in Philos mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked o
47、n broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money hel
