請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，按要求完成后面的小題，并將答案寫(xiě)在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams.Exams can put us under a lot of pressure.But some students do well under pressure，while others feel terrible.So，why do some students perform better under stress?

It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺)．Dopamine is a chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) in our brain that sends signals(信號(hào)) to our body.It has many important roles：influencing memory，attention and how we learn.Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine — not too much or too little.

大腦通過(guò)兩種方式控制多巴胺。It either takes out dopamine quickly，or gradually.Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance.

What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload(超負(fù)荷) on dopamine.It is like a cup overflowing with water.The quicker you can go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you will concentrate，helping you perform better on a test.

Scientists found that，during a test，people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower.That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.

But don't fear，there is some good news.The__study__also__found__that__the__more__practice__you__get，the__less__stressed__you'll__be.So，it turns out that practice really does make perfect.

3.The writer talks about a cup overflowing with water to explain ________.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影響) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything, all millionaires(百萬(wàn)富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(寶貴的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

1.According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?

A. Money is everything. B. Money isn’t necessary.

C. Money is important, but not the most important. D. With no money, with no success.

2.What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?

A. Only money. B. Health and a long life C. Only friendship. D. A, B and C

3.Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If you haven’t much money, you can’t get more happiness.

B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.

C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.

D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.

4.In fact, all millionaires ____________.

A. have much money B. die earlier C. love their money D. have true love

5.What does the sentence “Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage?

A. 愛(ài)意味著給你，而不能帶走。 B. 愛(ài)是可以得到的，不要走開(kāi)。

C. 愛(ài)意味著奉獻(xiàn)，而不是索取。 D. 愛(ài)是可以索取的，而不必付出。

1.C 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.C 【解析】試題本文主要說(shuō)明了感情遠(yuǎn)比金錢(qián)重要的道理。在當(dāng)今世界，許多人似乎渴望金錢(qián)。他們中的一些人甚至失去了生命。對(duì)于窮人，錢(qián)有很大的影響。但是，如果一個(gè)人有更多的錢(qián)，并不意味著有更多的幸福。無(wú)論你擁有多少金錢(qián)，如果你沒(méi)有一個(gè)可以與你一起哭一起笑的人，你也不會(huì)是一個(gè)幸福的人。 1.題意：根據(jù)文章，你認(rèn)為下列哪一項(xiàng)是正確的？考...
