    13．John insisted that what he saidwas （be）true and we insisted that he should go and have a look．

    分析 约翰坚持说他说的是真实的，而我们坚持让他回去再看看．

    解答 答案是was．考查名词性从句．句意是"约翰坚持说他说的是真实的，而我们坚持让他回去再看看．"John insisted后面的that从句是insisted的宾语从句．从句中what he said是名词性从句作主语，所以谓语用be动词的单数形式．由insisted可知句子是一般过去时态，所以谓语用be动词单数形式的过去式was．故答案是was．

    点评 本题考查单词填空．首先要根据语境明确句意，然后再根据相关语法决定正确答案．

    3．Some students get so nervous before 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 getting 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 20anxious college students．They gave them two short math exams．After the 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 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 told 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 B-for those who did not．
    But what can they do 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 they can still improve their performance．

    61．In which paragraph does the author introduce the background（背景） of his study？A
    A．In the first paragraph．
    B．In the second paragraph．
    C．In the third paragraph
    D．In the last paragraph．
    62．According to Sian Beilock，if you want to succeed in an exam you shouldB．
    A．be as serious as you can about the exam．
    B．focus your attention on the exam．
    C．set clear study goals and keep them
    D．make a careful preparation for the exam
    63．We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the examC．
    A．are more likely to get better exam results．
    B．have a positive attitude towards exam results．
    C．worry more about the exam in their mind．
    D．have a strong will to be successful in the exam．
    64．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to"C"．
    A．looking for a chance                     B．preparing for the exam
    C．writing about the feelings               D．taking the exam
    65．If a student writes about his feelings before an exam，heA．
    A．will improve his exam result          B．can keep a good memory of the exam
    C．will get support from his teachers    D．will forget what he has prepared for the exam．

    4．Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to ensure a pleasant visit，find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts．
    Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia，some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝） after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．But in some other countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"Excuse me，please．"
    In many places，people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together．People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
    You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself．Also in India，you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree．But in most parts of India，a shake of the head is a gesture that expresses agreement or acceptance．Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty． In that country Bulgaria，you shake your head to mean"yes"-a nod means"no"．
    In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone，even at an important meeting．Doing this when you are meeting an important person in Thailand，however，could cause offence．It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion．Also try to avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done in Thailand．
    Attitudes to women vary much around the world．In Japan，for example，it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home．
    Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling，but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality（礼节）．
    51．In Mongolia，if you give a loud burp after eating，your friends will be veryC．
    A．surprised             B．sorry            C．happy               D．upset
    52．Where do people eat back to back？A
    A．In Polynesia          B．In Mongolia     C．In Japan             D．In India
    53．From the passage，we know that shaking head means"yes"inD．
    A．Thailand          B．Mongolia        C．Japan            D．Bulgaria
    54．The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty．"MeansA．
    A．you are probably not to be served a drink when you nod your head
    B．you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
    C．it's probable that you are thirsty if you nod your head
    D．you'd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head
    55．According to the passage，which attitude to women is usual in Japan？B
    A．Men always go to parties with women．
    B．Men plan evening entertainments for themselves，while their wives stay at home．
    C．Men and women have equal rights to go to parties．
    D．Men plan evening entertainments for their wives．

    18．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
    He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
    With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!Suddenly，his father's words came to him．"When you are in a tight situation，don't panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．"
    On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"But Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
    Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson．Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．

    21．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier？D
    A．He was riding to school．
    B．He was listening to a strange sound．
    C．He was going fishing with his father．
    D．He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip．
    22．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage？D
    A．They crowded like a black cloud．
    B．They shocked and terrified Andy．
    C．They tried to attack Andy in a mass．
    D．They made Andy stay in hospital for two days．
    23．How did Andy avoid the bees in the end？B
    A．He asked Mr．Nelson for help．
    B．He hid himself under the water．
    C．He rushed into the Nelson house．
    D．He rode off in the opposite direction．
    24．Which of the following can best describe Andy's escape from the beesD？
    A．No pains，no gains．
    B．Once bitten，twice shy．
    C．Where there is a will，there is a way．
    D．In time of danger，one's mind works fast．

    3．Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year，fixed-rate home loan of  100，000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent．Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period，the mortgage（抵押） company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first．Thus in the beginning months，Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly．
    Payment NumberTotal Monthly
    Payment    		Principal Portion of PaymentInterest Portion of PaymentCurrent Balance
    1699.21 74.21 625.0099，925.79
    2699.2174.68624.5499，854.11
    359699.21690.568.66694.87
    360699.21694.874.340.00
    Let's analyze Wayne's early payments．Imagine that on December 15the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation gives Wayne 100，000，and on January 15his initial payment is due．Throughout this first month，interest accumulates on the entire  100，000．On a yearly interest rate of 7.5%，Wayne's monthly rate is 0.625% or 7.5%divided by 12．Multiplying 100，000by 0.625% yields 625，the portion of Wayne's first monthly payment that is interest．So Wayne now owes  99，925.79 （ 100，625-699.21）．His February interest payment will be 0.625% of  99，925.79．
    By the time Wayne makes his last few payments，his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably．His balance following his 359th payment is  694.87，and 0.625% of that is about  4.34，his final interest payment．What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid？Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals  251，715.60，and subtracting 100，000（the loan amount） leaves 151，715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
    46．This passage is mainly concerned withC．
    A．Derek Wayne
    B．the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation
    C．how interest payments on a loan change
    D．calculating the number of payments Wayne made
    47．The monthly interest rate on Wayne's loan wasC．
    A.7.5%  B.6.5%  C.0.625%  D.625
    48．We can conclude that Wayne's total monthly paymentwasalwaysA．
    A.699.21B.100，000C.360            D.$151，715.60
    49．The table in the passage helps the readers seeB．
    A．Wayne's down payment before he took out the loan
    B．Wayne's first and last payments
    C．how much his interest payments increased
    D．at what point the interest and principal payments were just about equal．
