If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus (高加索). Lake SevanLake Sevan is located in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, 6,200ft above sea level.

It is a large freshwater lake of eastern Turkey, and many tourists don’t notice this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus.

I was walking into my first school in Peru. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping Peru would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly: Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a sol voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India wo had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”I apologized. Without another word 1 headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn`t so bad.4.

He got the Course Requirements sheet from his classmate.D. He experienced differences from the Indian schools in many ways.6. How did the author feel at the end of the day?A. Worried B. Puzzled C. Relieved D. Excited7. What’s the best title of the passage?A. I Began to Go to School B. My First Day of SchoolC. To Stan a School Day Isn’t Easy D. My Work at SchoolCSome students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources（资源）.Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored（得分） an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved（提高） 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（不相关的） to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not."What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who'd done our writing intervention（干预）, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.8. What do the students start worrying about before an exam?A. Whether they can pass the exams.B. What other students do during the test.C. Whether they have remembered the materials.D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.9 What is the solution developed by researchers?A. Making the students focused on the test.B. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.C. Having the students write about their worries about the test.D. Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.10. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ____________.A. became less nervous before the testB. were better at controlling their feelingsC. did worse than those who wrote about their feelingsD. did better than those who wrote about their feelings第二部分 英语语言运用(共三节，满分80分)第一节完形填空(共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。At middle school I found it ____21____ to run around the playground and I was always one of the last students to cross the finish line.
