考试六大应试技巧一、自我暗示、消除焦虑①自我暗示法。

用平时自己考试中曾有优异成绩来不断暗示自己：我是考生中的佼佼者；我一定能考得理想的成绩；我虽然有困难的题目，但别人不会做的题目也很多。

②决战决胜法。

视考场为考试的大敌，用过去因怯场而失败的教训鞭策自己决战决胜。

二、整体浏览，了解卷情拿到试卷后，在规定的地方写好姓名和准考证号后，先对试卷进行整体感知，看看这份试卷共多少页、总题量是多少、分哪几大部分、有哪几种题型。

这样不仅可以要防止试卷错误，尽早调换，避免不必要的损失；而且通过对全卷作的整体把握，能尽早定下作战方案。

重要的是初步了解下试卷的难易度，以便自己合理安排答题时间，避免会做的没有做，不会做的却浪费了时间的情况出现。

三、“两先两后”，合理安排①先易后难②先熟后生四、“一慢一快”，慢中求快一、书写速度应快，不慢慢吞吞。

二、书写的内容要简明扼要，不拖泥带水，噜嗦重复，尽量写出得分点就行了。

五、分段得分，每分必争对于会做的题目。

对会做的题目要解决对而不全的老大难问题，如果出现跳步往往就会造成丢分的情况，因此，答题过程一定规范，重要步骤不可遗漏，这就是分段得分。

对于不会做的题目，这里又分两种情况，一种是一大题分几小题的，一种是一大题只有一问的。

对于前者，我们的策略是“跳步解答”，第一小题答不出来，就把第一小题作为已知条件，用来解答第二小题，只要答得对，第二小题照样得分。

对于后者，我们的策略是“缺步解题”，能演算到什么程度就什么程度，不强求结论。

这样可以最大程度地得到分数。

六、重视检查环节如果自己的考试时间还有些充裕，那么根不可匆忙交卷，而应作耐心的复查。

将模棱两可的及未做的题目最后要进行检查、作答，特别是填空题、选择题不要留空白。

They believes, for the greatest effect,on and behavior are thought tointerventions need to be __31__ early in life, when children’s brain functibe more flexible. However, according to the new research, it’s time to stop focusing on when we interve with parenting, and just continue helping children in need of all ages.Just published in Child Development, the study is one of the first to __32__ this age assumption.Parenting interventions are a common and effective tool for reducing child behavior problems, but studiesof age effects have produced different results until now.A team led by Professor Frances Fardner __33__ data from over 15,000 families from all over the world,and found no evidence that earlier is better. Older children benefited just as much as younger ones fromparenting interventions for reducing behavior problems. There was no evidence that earlier interventionsare more powerful. This was based on __34__ data from more than 150 different experiments.What’s more, their economic analysis found that interventions with older children were __35__ morelikely to be cost-effective.Professor Gardner commented: “When t here is __36__ about behavioral difficulties in younger children, our findings should never be used as a reason to delay intervention, otherwise, children andnterventions for reducing behaviorfamilies will suffer for longer.” She continued, “As for __37__ parenting iproblems in childhood, we should stick to the principle, ‘it’s never too early, never too late ‘earlier is better’.”The study draws the conclusion that it makes sense to invest in parenting interventions for children atall ages with behavioral difficulties, because they are no more likely to be __38__ in younger than olderchildren, at least in the pre-adolescents.-adolescents, Of course, there’s more work to be done. The experiments conducted were __39__ to preto shorter-term effects, and parent-reported assessment of child outcomes. Future studies are neededthat focus on adolescents, longer-term outcomes, and using multiple sources for __40__ child behaviorproblems.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Marmoset monkeys exist on a branch of the evolutionary three that is distinct from the one that led tohumans. But they constantly astonish researchers with __41__ behavior that seems pretty highly evolved.Their social organization and __42__ practices could have been the model for the phrase “It takes a village.” A dominant male and female breed, and their babies are carefully looked after by extended family members who then aren’t free to breed themselves.A new study further __43__ the marmoset’s reputation for admirable community values. Researchers report that these caregivers share their food more generously with little ones __44__ than when theysurrounded by the watchful eyes of other community members. In complex societies where individualsband together for __45__ protection, researchers have come up with a few widely accepted explanationsfor selfless behavior. But specific acts, like sharing a delicious cricket（蟋蟀）with a begging baby marmoset,seem to need more __46__ explanation.One possibility is that an individual practices __47__ as a means of enhancing his status among peers.By __48__ that he is so well gifted with material goods that he can give some away, this do-gooder enhances his power within the group. That, in turn, may __49__ prospective mates. The other explanationfor charitable behavior __50__ that kindnesses extended to others are simply the fees of group membership, which offers some future promise of a chance to mate. Failure to share would result inmodel. exclusion from the group and a loss of __51__ partners. Scientists call this the “pay to stay”　Importantly, for both of these models to work, acts of kindness must have a(n) __52__. That suggests youwould see more sharing in group settings; away from judging eyes, a caregiver might be more likely tokeep food for himself or herself. And yet, in 2,581 tests conducted with 31 adult and 14 baby marmosets,the __53__ appeared to be true.Anthropologists（人类学家）from the University of Zurich carefully documented how often ,in groupsand in conditions that found caregiver and baby separated from the crowd, an adult would share his or hercricket. When alone with a baby begging for a taste, adult marmosets shared their cricket 85% of the time. When in a group, caregivers offered up their cricket 67% of the time. "Our results show that helping in common marmosets is not driven by reputation management or 54 avoidance," the study author reported. "Rather, it is driven by a deep-down motivation to help that is more 55 expressed when individuals are alone with young.”41. A. animal B. careful C. social D. individual42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day a little boy, annoyed by his father's decision for him to become a grocer, decides that he will never grow up. Grocery is a dull job and staying a child is his protest against it. This strange little boy-man, never separated from a tin drum he is always banging, is our hero of the table. It covers three crucial decades of 20th century history. Little Oscar Matzerath will experience love, war and imprisonment in astory that paints an unforgettable picture of Central Europe between 1923 and 1954.This is an overview of the story of The Tin Drum, the most famous work by the German Nobel-winning author Günter Grass, who passed away on April 13 at the age of 87. The Tin Drum also established Grass as one of the leading authors of Germany. It also set a high bar of comparison for all of his following works.Just as his best-known fiction is both the story of an individual and of an age, so it is that Grass' life cannotbe understood without referring to the history of Germany. He was called "Germany's conscience", because he reminded Germans of a past during the Second World War (1933-1945) that many would have rather forgotten.This sometimes made him unpopular. Many Germans did not agree in 1989 when he said that East Germany and West Germany should remain separate, as a united country would be too strong and threaten the world's peace. And Grass was called a hypocrite when he revealed in his memoirPeeling the Onion (2006) that he had been a teenage member of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi (纳粹)Party's fighting force. The man who had blamed the actions of others had a less-than-perfect record himself.Grass was a man of the pen and the page and also a man with a gift for speaking to the public.His writing was noisy and annoying, but one had to listen to it, a little like the sound of the drum bangedby his most famous literary creation.56. In The Tin Drum, the hero ________.A. decides he will never grow up to escape from the warB. doesn't want to become a grocer as his father expectsC. refuses to be separated from the tin drum he is playingD. has an unforgettable experience involving love and hatred57. What does the underlined word "hypocrite" mean?A. Someone who has justice on his side and pursues perfection.B. Someone who enjoys blaming others for their own mistakes.C. Someone who is unwilling to believe there is good in people.D. Someone who pretends to be more virtuous than one really is.58. It can be inferred from the article that ________.A. Oscar Matzerath's stories were modeled on Grass's own childhood lifeB. critics applauded Grass's argument for continued separation of GermanyC. Grass's life and works can be best understood from a historical perspectiveD. no other writer in Germany could be Grass's equal in perfect personal record59. What is the author's purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze what has made The Tin Drum so popular in Germany.B. To introduce the readers to Günter Grass and his most famous work.C. To present the history of Germany through the pen and page of Grass.D. To give some background information about Grass's early life as a writer.(B)Bees in a colony work with each other to gather food, and they try to find the most nectar (花蜜)in the least amount of time possible. A small number of bees work as searchers, but when a good flowerpatch (花丛) is found, how do they tell other bees where to find it?Bees communicate flower location using special dances inside the hive, where bees live. One bee dances while the other bees watch. The dancing bee smells like the flower patch, and also gives the watching bees a taste of the nectar she has gathered. Smell and taste helps other bees find the correct flower patch. Bees use two different kinds of dances to communicate information: the waggle(摇摆) dance and the circle dance.Waggle danceThe waggle dance tells the watching bees two things about a flower patch's location: the distance and the direction away from the hive.A. DistanceThe dancing bee waggles back and forth as she moves forward in astraight line, then circlesaround to repeat the dance. The length of the middle line, called the wagglerun, shows roughly how far it is to the flower patch.B. DirectionBees know which way is up and which way is down inside their hive, and they use this to show direction. How? Bees dance with the waggle run at a specific angle away from straight up. Outside thehive, bees look at the position of the sun, and fly at the same angle away from the sun.Circle dancelocation:that it is The circle dance tells the watching bees only one thing about the flower patch’ssomewhere close to the hive.In this dance, the bee walks in a circle, turns around, then walks the same circle in the opposite direction. Sometimes, the bee includes a little waggle as she’s turning around. The duration of this waggle is thought to indicate the quality of the flower patch.60.Why does the searcher give the watching bees a taste of the nectar?A. To inform them of the distance of the flower.B. To celebrate her success of finding the nectar.C. To motivate them to collect the nectar.D. To ensure the bees find the right patch.61.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dances?A. The se archer’s waggle means little during the circle dance.B. The waggle dance indicates the direction of the flower patch.C. The waggle dance shows precisely how far the flower patch is.D. The quality of the flower patch is not shown in the circle dance.62.If the searcher dances inside the hive in this way(see the right picture), which of the following is theWRONG flying direction for the other bees?( C )geologic ages---time periods defined by evidence in rock layers----typically last more than Earth’sthree million years. We’re barely 11,500 years into the current age ,the Holocene. But a new paper arguesthat we’ve already entered a new one—the Anthropocene, or “new man”, age.-new. Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen, a co-author of the paper, coined it in The name isn’t brand2002 to reflect the changes since the industrial revolution. The paper, however , is part of new push toformalize the Anthropocene age.Recent human impacts have been so great that they’ll result in an obvious boundary (界限) inEarth’s rock layer, the author’s say. “We are so skilled at using energy and exploiting the environment that-author Jan Zala,we are now a defining force in the geological process on the surface of the Earth,” said coa geologist with the University of Leicester in the UK. Even so, it could take years or even decades for theInternational Union of Geological Science to formalize the new age.If the concept of the Anthropocene age is to be formalized , scientists will first have to identify andthousands ofdefine a boundary line ,or marker, that’s set in stone. “The key thing is thinking about howyears in the future---geologist might come back and actually recognize in the deposit in the UK.” It straightforward as you might think. The market has to be very precise, and it has to be recognized in manydifferent parts of the world,” said Haywood, who wasn’t involved in the new study.One candidate for the market is the distinctive radioactive signature left by atom bomb tests, which沉降) is basically across the world,” Haywood said. In a similar way, scientists began in 1945. “The fallout (used traces of the element iridium (铱) left by shooting star strikes to help define the boundary betweenthe Cretaceous and Tertiary periods---the time of the great dinosaur extinctions.The push for a formal declaration of the Anthropocene age is about more than just scientific curiosity. Themove the scientists write in the last issue of the journal Environmental Science & Techno logy, “might beused as encouragement to slow carbon emissions and biodiversity(生物多样性)loss” or “ as evidence on protection measures” Just as Haywood said, by underlining how much we're changing the environment,the formalization would be "a very powerful s tatement”．63. Which of the following is TRUE about the new paper?A. It denies the existence of the Holocene age.B. It documents the recent human impacts on earth.C. It pushes for the formalization of the Anthropocene age.D. It serves as a warning against the current mineral exploitation.64. Haywood's words in paragraph 4 indicate that___________________.A. the key to formalizing the new age is to find a deposit record set in stoneB the marker has to appear in various places globally to be considered validC. finding a marker is a straightforward way to define the beginning of an ageD. future geologists may find it hard to recognize the markers we choose today65. What can you infer from the passage?A. The element iridium may work as a marker for the Anthropocene age.B. The Nobel Prize winner Crutzen invented the name Holocene in 2002.C. The formalization of the new age may send a message for eco-protection.D Human activities have resulted from the change of boundaries in rock layers.66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Humans Are Destroying the Earth, Geologists WarnB. Too Early to Set Things in Stone, Authorities SayC. More Evidence Is Needed, Universities RequireD. A New Earth Age May Begin, Scientists ArgueSection C (8分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems.B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us.C What she did was really beyond our imagination.D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of aparent.E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way.F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills.Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on thesofa and watch their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders(考虑)this question.Generally, we love to watch someone's bravery and drama--a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour._____67_____However, there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wishto do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or just plain dangerous.American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit--for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get outof the pool. Something make her carry on. Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal. ____68______.The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold, including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert. ____69_____Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitelydone it."____________There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems boring in comparison.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Take care of your spine (脊柱)The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spinal cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of yourbody to your brain. Since your spine is so central to health, it's important to look after it.Maintain good posture (姿势)is one of the most important things you can do to keep you spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you're asleep. Sleeping on you side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. Staying still for too long----even if your posture is good---can be hard onyour back. Especially if you look at a desk most of the day, it's important to get up and stretch periodically.Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine. Stretches can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don't overdo the exercise, as repeated motions can strain the muscles around your spine.Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids keep nerves healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement. Another important factor is vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones. Vitamin Dcan come from some foods, but it's also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some of those back exercises outside.Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those need to preserve your health in other ways. So protect our back, and the rest of body will benefit.V. Translation（15分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72．任何人都不可能轻而易举获得成功。
