Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.    If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.    Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.    Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.    If a circumstance, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it. It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous —then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the fight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.56．This passage is most probably written by______.  A．a reporter B．a sportsman C．a patient D．a professor57．The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because ______.  A．most are not very important     B．they are not the real causes of the problemC．they cannot be controlled by people  D．it's better to deal with one cause at a time58．The underlined word "circumstance" in Paragraph 5 probably means _____ in Chinese.A．情境 B．演出 C．游戏 D．竞赛59．What is TRUE about nervousness according to the passage?  A．It usually has only one cause. B．It is usually caused by people.C．People can easily manage it. D．Most people suffer from it.60．This passage is mainly about ______.  A．the writer's sports experience B．how to deal with nervousnessC．how to remember fears D．The dangers of nervousness配对阅读I栏是五人对某事(物)的看法或者想了解的事(物)，Ⅱ栏是对某事(物)的介绍或某观点的阐述，请从Ⅱ栏中为Ⅰ栏中的五人选出与他们相匹配的选项。Ⅰ　61．     　My brother likes listening to music when he is running. He thinks music helps him exercise well.　62．     　Li Ming first watched some people climb ropes on TV. He wants to learn more about rope climbing　63．     　Hanhan is not good at history. And he has no idea why we learn history.　64．     　Dad asks me to turn off my mobile phone when I go to bed. I don't think it is necessary.　65．     　Nana is interested in inventions. She wants to learn about Chinese type printing.ⅡA.  Rope climbing is a popular form of exercise. In 1896, it first appeared as an Olympic sport. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics for some reason.B.  Just do as your dad says. Sleeping with the phone on is bad for our sleep. We may be woken up by messages. Even the light from the screen could hurt our sleep cycles (周期)，resulting in sleep that is both too short and often interrupted(中断的).C.  He is right. Music makes us want to move. For example, when we listen to dance music,we naturally start to move to the beat.A cheerful song puts us in a good mood, so we feel much happier. So music gives us energy and helps us exercise longer.D.  Some students like to listen to music when they are doing homework. They think it's not a big deal,but it really matters. It distracts (使分心)students from their homework and makes them do worse in school lessons.E.  History is not just a study of the past. It is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future. We can understand the mistakes of the past in history. And these mistakes will help us not to do the same wrong things.F. It's not easy to write stories in the beginning. Don't worry! The story can be real or made up, can be short or long. Just keep writing and express your ideas in your own words.G. It's said the printing was created by Bi Sheng during the Song Dynasty. It plays an important role in the history of printing. And it also helps to spread Chinese culture around the world quickly.八、短文填空(本大题有10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分)阅读下面短文，按照文章大意和上下文连贯的要求，在短文中的空缺处填写一个意思恰当且形式正确的单词。Keeping clean is important for people to live healthily.

Theytake pictures before dinner, at parties and on museum tours. They believe taking pictures will help them remember the moment. However, it isn't true according to Henkel's study.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum. She asked them to look at 15 exhibits and then to photograph 15 others. The next day,she tested the students' memory of the tour. She found that the students remembered fewer details about the exhibits that they photographed.Henkel explained when people focus on(集中于) taking photos, they pay less attention to the event (事件) itself. As a result, they fail to remember their experiences well.Taking pictures may not be helpful for our memory. But shouldn't reviewing(回顾) the pictures help wake up our memories? The answer is yes. However, it happens only when we spend enough time doing it."To remember the experiences, we have to review the photos carefully,"Henkel said. "But most people seldom spend the time looking over their digital(数字的) pictures because there are too many of them."76．Where is Linda Henkel from?77．How does Henkel feel about people's obsession with taking pictures?78．What did Henkel find in her study?79．Why do people fail to remember their experiences well when taking photos?80．What should people do to remember their experiences?十、书面表达（15分）81．假如你是李华，你校英语社团将举办一场英语写作比赛，主题为“令我难忘的一次经历”。请你根据提示，写一篇参赛稿。内容包括：①比较详细地描述一件令你难忘的事情(时间、地点、人物、经过、结果·····)；②你的感受。作文要求：①不能照抄原文； 不得在作文中出现学校真实的名称和学生的真实姓名。②行文连贯，词数80个左右(标题和开头已给出不计入总词数)。An unforgettable experienceEveryone has an unforgettable experience in their life.So do I.
