I hoped to be successful in society，and so did the other kids in my class.I did wonder how their lives were.Did they realize their dreams？Or did they remember their dreams？I was filled with lots of questions.Would I see my old friends？Could they recognize me？Was the cheerleader，or the nerdy guy(書呆子)a billionaire(億萬富翁)？Uncertainty and nostalgia(懷舊)continued to appear in my mind as weeks passed.I never really liked my high school all that much when I was there.What made me think I should now? I asked my husband for his opinion.He is a little older than me and had already been through this decision.He told me not to go.He advised much as I expected and it was nice to hear his opinion.After he had gone on and on about what a terrible idea it was，he’d almost had me convinced.A few days later it was out of my mind.Before long，I got a message from an old friend，with pictures of our graduation.Most classmates，two girls among whom took many pictures，were present that day.My young face was among my friends，with smile and hope. I made up my mind that I would attend it later.After all，a school reunion is more than just who you are now，it’s who you were.It is a chance through which we can review our past when we were together，and may recall what we said，what we did，even the person we loved.And remember，you will not regret if you attend this kind of activities. 作者收到邀請她去參加母校聚會的電子郵件，她思想斗爭很激烈，她想?yún)⒓?，但又有些顧慮。后來她明白有必要參加這種聚會。 3．What can we learn about the author’s former school life? A．She got on well with her studies. B．She made few friends in the school. C．Most of her teachers and classmates liked her. D．She didn’t like the school when she was there. 解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段I never really liked my high school all that much when I was there可知，作者上學的時候一直不喜歡學校。 答案：D 4．How does the author think of attending school reunions? A．She thinks it is funny to do it. B．She thinks it is a terrible idea. C．She thinks it is worthwhile to do it. D．She thinks it is a chance to show off. 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，作者認為同學聚會是一個大家一起回憶過去的好機會，可推知同學聚會是值得參加的。 答案：C B Believe it or not，worry may evolve along with intelligence as a beneficial characteristic，according to a recent study by scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center.Professor Jeremy Coplan at the center found that high intelligence and worry are both connected with brain activity，which is measured by the reduction of choline(膽堿)in the subcortical white matter(皮層下白色物質(zhì))of the brain.According to the researchers，humans’intelligence may have evolved with worry together. “Too much worry is generally seen as a negative characteristic and high intelligence as a positive one.But worry may cause humans to avoid dangerous situations，regardless of how remote a possibility they may be，”said Dr.Coplan.“In fact，worry may make people‘take_no_chances，’and such people may have higher survival rates.Thus，like intelligence，worry may give a benefit to humans.” In this study of anxiety and intelligence.patients with general anxiety disorder (GAD) were compared with healthy volunteers to judge the relationship between intelligence quotient(IQ)，worry and metabolism(新陳代謝)of choline in the subcortical white matter.In the group of normal volunteers，high IQ was connected with a lower degree of worry，but in those patients with GAD，high IQ was connected with a higher degree of worry.The relation between IQ and worry was important in both the GAD group and the healthy group.However，in the former，the effect was positive and，in the latter，the effect was negative.18 healthy volunteers(8 males and 10 females)and 26 patients with GAD(12 males and 14 females)served as subjects. Earlier studies have indicated that excessive(過多的)worry tends to exist both in people with higher intelligence and lower intelligence，and less so in people of moderate(適度的)intelligence.It has been supposed that people with lower intelligence suffer more anxiety because they achieve less success in life. 信不信由你，一個人的焦慮未必全是壞事。最新的研究表明，過多的擔憂事實上是和一個人的智商共同發(fā)展的，甚至有可能對人的智力提高有促進作用。 5．In the past，people thought too much worry______. A．was nothing serious since it had no effect B．encouraged them to go ahead C．was good for people to predict future D．was bad for them to live happily 解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Too much worry is generally seen as a negative characteristic and high intelligence as a positive one可知，人們以往對焦慮的看法不好。 答案：D 6．What does the underlined phrase“take no chances”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．Lose scores in competition. B．Choose to help somebody in positive ways. C．Be cautious not to risk doing something. D．Be anxious for another chance to take. 解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文提到avoid dangerous situations及下文have higher survival rates可推知，焦慮使得人們謹慎行事，這些人會有更高的生存率。由此可推知，畫線詞組的含義為“不冒險”。 答案：C
