山东省齐鲁名校协作体2016届高三上学期第二次调研联考试题及答案

Everyone worries about exams，but test anxiety is in another league, causing such fear that it is impossible to do your best. Does your mind go blank in exams? Do you become distracted? Do you score much lower on exams than on homework? Then you may have what psychologists call test anxiety.

Test anxiety involves severe stress before, during or after exams, making it impossible to do your best. It can make your heart feel as if it is racing, and you may submit to “negative self-talk”, convincing yourself you are going to fail or upset. These stressful thoughts, not surprising, can block your brain’s ability to find what is stored in its memory, as well as making it harder to understand the questions and organize your thoughts. Is it possible to stop test anxiety?

Developing good study habits, understanding the exam format and marking scheme （评分方案）can all help to reduce anxiety. But for a greater effect, other methods are also needed, such as relaxation techniques in which you lie down before the exam, close your eyes and focus on breathing while tensing and relaxing group muscles in turn (legs, arms and stomach).

A study looked at anxious students in maths exams and concluded that writing about how worried you feel before the exam may also reduce anxiety.

Be as prepared as possible before the exam, arrive early, and repeat positive statements such as:“Everyone feels anxious; I know I can do this.” Just as in a race, do not look at what everyone else around you is doing. Focus on the paper in front of you. Do a quick skim to evaluate the feel of the overall test. If you feel nervous, take deep breaths and remember that it is just a test.

India now leads the world in smartphone growth. It saw a 55% increase in the number of smartphones in 2014. The number of Web users increased by 37 %. Smartphones were the source of 65 % of its Internet traffic and 41 % of its e-commerce, according to a report by the analyst Mary Meeker, titled “Internet Trends 2015”.

India’s Internet boom has started. Within three or four years, almost every adult in India will own a smartphone. They will be used to order goods, read news, monitor crop growth and so on.

Indian adults will be very interested in these devices just as young Americans are. 87 % of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 who own smartphones say they never separate from these: “My smartphone never leaves my side.” Four out of five say that the first thing they do on waking is to reach for their smartphones. And three fifths believe that in the next five years everything will be done on mobile devices.

In the business world, the rise of mobile platforms is dramatically transforming many industries all over the world. What Indian software developers have to do is to start thinking about solutions to old problems by using all the features of these new devices. They need to take advantage of the unique properties of smartphones and tablets. As Indian software developers and enterprises master the smartphone, they will be able to export their solutions to the rest of the world.

This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s. We can expect the rapid transformation of India when a billion people become connected and have equal access to information and services.

 Zuhur Yasin has never been to the US, but she holds a bachelor’s degree from an American university. Part of Yasin’s studies in Somaliland were spent in a special classroom, lined with rows of computers equipped with webcams（网络摄像头）and microphones.

The 29-year-old watched videos and took part in live virtual(虚拟的) classes at Indiana University as part of her journalism programme at the University of Hargeisa.“We had discussions and shared any challenges or questions,” she says.

The African Virtual University(AVU), an intergovernmental organization, connected Yasin with Indiana University. The AVU says it has used virtual learning to train 43, 000 students since its creation in 1997. Professors use programmes and apps including Skype and WhatsApp to communicate with students, but classes are taught using special software. The AVU is considering plans to make lectures accessible on mobile phones.

Like Yasin, many students in sub-Saharan Africa are looking for opportunities to attend university. In 2008, the region had the lowest university attendance in the world, with just 6% of secondary school-leavers advancing to higher education, according to the UN’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

In May, the African Union(AU) opened the e-Learning Africa Conference on ICT for development, education and training at its headquarters in Addis Ababa.

Rebecca Stromeyer, the founder of e-Learning Africa, says, “Now it is the time when technology can really help to protect the progress many African countries have made in education. If the right decisions are made now, they will help to achieve long-term economic growth.”

Experts say online learning tools can connect African students to massive open online courses (Mooc慕课，大型开放式网络课程) such as Coursera, an education platform that provides free virtual education from some of the world’s top universities.

28. How did Yasin obtain a bachelor’s degree from an American University?

A. By teaching herself at home.

B. By employing a famous coach from America.

C. By virtual learning provided by the AVU.

D. By her further education at the University of Hargeisa.

29. What is preventing students from watching lectures on mobile phones?

A. Lectures can’t be played on mobile phones.

B. It’s better to have live virtual classes in a special classroom.

   C. Professors don’t give lectures on mobile phones.

   D. Not every student owns a phone.

30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Africa       B. Sub-Saharan Africa     C. Addis Ababa     D. The AU

31. From the last two paragraphs, which of the following can be inferred?

A. Before technology was used, Africa didn’t make any progress in education.

B. With online learning tools fewer African students will go to real universities.

C. Coursera enables African students to go to any top university they like.

D. Technology will promote Africa’s educational and economic lasting growth.

MERS, also known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, has made its way to the US. The second patient was in Orlando, Florida while the first reported case was in Indiana.

Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the disease has mainly been transmitted(传播) by close personal contact, such as directly caring for a very ill person.

The virus is formally called MERS-CoV because it’s part of the corona virus(冠状病毒) family that includes the common cold and severe SARS. SARS was relatively easy to stop a decade ago, because it was being transmitted by caged animals in Chinese markets. MERS-CoV was first identified in people in 2012, but has been spreading rapidly since March, 2015. The vast majority of those cases occurred in Saudi Arabia.

The patient in Orlando felt ill on the first flight but not ill enough to notify a doctor. Early on May 9, he apparently became concerned that he was still feeling ill, and he went to the emergency room at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital. He identified himself as recently having been in Saudi Arabia, so he was quickly isolated to avoid infecting(感染) other patients.

Wayne Marasco, an expert at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, said his biggest concern about MERS-CoV is how little we know about it. It’s still not clear, in some instances, where the virus comes from, how it is transmitted or who is most subject.

32. According to Tom Frieden, how is a person mainly infected by MERS?

   A. By caged animals.

   B. By close personal contact.

   C. By animal-to-human transmission.

   D. By directly caring for a very ill person.

33. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

   A. The first MERS patient was found in America.

   B. The patient in Orlando was infected when he was taking a plane.

   C. Most MERS cases occurred in the Middle East.

   D. One problem about MERS is that we don’t know which subject it belongs to.

34. Which can replace the bold-faced word “isolated” in the fourth paragraph?

   A. punished         B. prohibited      C. arrested       D. separated

35. This passage is written to ____________.

   A. inform us of more information about the deadly illness MERS.

   B. caution us against SARS

   C. call on us to start a campaign against MERS

   D. appeal to us to understand the medical expert’s biggest concern about MERS-CoV

A person who we should learn from doesn’t need to be rich and famous. It could be the person we live with him. For me, it’s my father.

I still remember the days when I was child. Although he had plenty of works to do, but he still stayed with me and played children’s games with me. With time go by, I’m in Senior 3 now. It is me who have no time to stay with him now! However, he is still behind me and try his best to make a better life for our family. How handsome and selflessly he is! I am really very grateful for him.

In my mind, he is not only my father, but also a hero living with me!
