36、 the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted.And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.

You listen to their conversation: I cant believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla! They
42、 are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome. They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you
43、 buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool
44、, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 3
45、4. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they dont trust ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to perform in bars and other places where young adults go.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters C. Ways of A
50、dvertising D. Undercover Marketing DSome students get so nervous before a test, and they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers.SianBeilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exa
51、m is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, h
52、ave developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.SianBeilock: “what we think happens is when students put it down on paper , they think about the worst that could happen and they reassess the situation. Th
53、ey might realize its not as hard as they might think it was before and, in essence, it prevents these thoughts frompopping upwhen theyre actually taking a test.”The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, th
54、ey asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as
55、 part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class
56、. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.SianBeilock: “What we showed is that for stude
57、nts who are highly test-anxious, whod done our writing intervention, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who dont normally get nervous in these testing situations.”But wha
58、t 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 still improve their performance.68. What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?A. Test anxie
59、ty can improve students performance to some degree.B. Students attention and memory resources run out when worried.C. Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worriedD. Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.69. What does the underlined phrase “popping up” mean?AG
60、iving out BFading away CBecoming clear DAppearing suddenly70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is a common practice for students to get worried before a test.B. Being worried before tests does harm to students performance.C. Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.D. I
61、t is important for students to overcome test anxiety.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请考生务必将本题答案涂到答题卡上：E涂AB; F涂AC; G涂AD）Weight loss is a hard topic.
