About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene．Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things．
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path．V ery soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position．The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby．Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path．A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow"．Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees．The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．The next scene was a complete contrast （对比）．The way it was filmed was quite unusual．Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen （幕）．An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island．By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us．For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since．A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water．He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away．He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son．A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star"。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears．
One explanation is the law ofoverlearninrf , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials（尝试）increase the length of time we will remember it．In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them．We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks．We not only learn but overlearn．
The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the eeneral rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．
The law of over learning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination．though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course．By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．A little overlearning．on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development．
67．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．People remember well what they learned in childhood．
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups．
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words．
D．Stories for children arc easy to remember．
68．The author explains the law of overleaming by_________．
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
69．According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______．
A．a result of overlearning
B．a special case of cramming
C．a skill to deal with math problems
D．a basic step towards advanced studies
70．What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A．It leads to failure in college exams．
B．It's helpful only in a limited way．
C．It's possible to result in poor memory．
D．It increases students' learning interest．
（67.A。根据Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since可知）
（68.D 根据文章内容可得出作者用了举例子的方法）
（69.A because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．可得出）
（70.B By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．可知突击学习只在有限的方面有帮助）
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．Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time．71 Some ways of dealing with stress - like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much．But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better．
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
（1）Get support．When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives．72 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet．
（2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh, dear, that's not a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．73
（3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business．74 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it．
（4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary （暂时的）．Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．
These steps aren't magic, but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster．75
A．Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation．
B．Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them．
C．Different people feel stress in different ways．
D．Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone．
E．You need to figure out what the problem is．
F．And don't forget about your friends．
G．Then, find a way to calm down．
（71.C 根据空后面的some ways可看出C符合）
（72.F和信任的成年人交谈，像父母和其他亲戚，当然不要忘了你的朋友，故选F）
（73.A记住有很多人都会帮助你的，不要自己独自解决，在困难的时候像别人寻求帮助）
（74.B 注意你朋友的感觉然后寻找帮助他们的方法，即使你不能完全解决，也可以解决一点点）（75.D 当压力解决的时候你会感觉非常好）

I learned early in life that I had to be more patient and little aggressive．From
the time I was about four until I was about six, I destroyed each of my toy．I
was happy when the toys worked, but when things did wrong, I got angry and
broke it．For a while parents bought me new toys．But before long they began
to see which was happening．When I tear apart my fifth birthday toy train, my
father said, "That's it．No more toys to you．" My punishment lasted a year．
Meanwhile, I found out that with more patience I must make my toys to last．
My attitude changed from then on．
（将more改成less，and表示并列，less和little对应）
（将toy改成toys，each of可看出是多数当中的一个所以用复数）
（将did改成went/go，things go wrong 表示事情往不好的方向发展）
（将it改成them，有前面的toys可知是复数，则后面也用复数them）
（将tear改成tore根据全文可知使用过去时）
（将to改成for，sth. for sb.)
