Whatever the reason, there are many therapeutic benefits to getting your hands dirty, doing some physical hard work and then watching your garden grow. Does this sound like your idea of fun? 【答案】DFAC 【分析】
67.段落主旨句，根据后文makes them happier,同时根据上一段This small private area of green space can be their place of calm.行文的逻辑关系来判断，因为gardening can relieve pressure and can be a place of calm,所以可以作为therapy. 68.最后一句选择通常是承上启下、细节具体化或是评论性的语句，F选项Some experts actually believe that... 属评论性的语句。the pleasure of gardening comes from getting out in the fresh air, in all weathers and communing with nature，对应F选项“natural excitement”getting out in the fresh air, in all weathers and communing with nature 对应getting outside to dig and plant things。对应点比较多且比较好找。
69.第三段第一句话讲Christopher Lowry做了一个实验，根据作者的行文思路，这里就应该选择实验结果的选项。选项也有很多对应点，很容易判断。
70.段落主旨句，这一段后文列举了recovering alcoholics的例子，可知答案C,干扰选项为E,都有对应点alcohol和gardening,根据列举的例子可排除E。

Now, it’s the exam time again —- have you done the necessary work to get good marks?

The best strategy is to space your practice out, rather than cram (死记硬背) it all together. It means hit the books early! In an article in the British newspaper The Guardian, Tom Stafford, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sheffield, UK, advises: “If you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you'll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.\
Don’t rely on memory alone— get pen and paper and start working. Students who can test themselves in advance will be better at getting back material from their memory and learn that material in the long run. John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US, suggests that \start by reading a textbook using your favourite highlighter (荧光笔) and favourite colours, but then you go back and make flashcards of all the critical concepts and instead of just reading those, you basically try to test yourselves on them.\
Good revision should give you confidence, but if you are still anxious, there's no harm in indulging (放任) a personal routine. In Japan, it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a warm bowl of rice topped with egg and a deep-fried pork cutlet (猪排). The name of the dish reminds people of the word \For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before sitting an exam because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their head. And in different parts of the world there are always those who swear by their \
The bottom line is that you need to study, sleep well on the eve of the test, eat a nutritious meal, drink plenty of water and believe that your efforts will pay off. Good luck in your exam! 【答案】

【参考范文】
How ironic the picture is! Sitting on the edge of a boat, two tourists are enjoying their fantastic trip, with cans, bottles, dead fish and food leftovers floating downstream. The scattered garbage has totally spoiled the beauty of the scenery.
The picture conveys a thought-provoking phenomenon that many scenic spots are being threatened by serious environmental problems with the rapid development of tourism. Enchanted by the beautiful landscape, travelers flock to these famous spots. However, some of them throw their waste at their will, paying no attention to the local environment. To make the matter worse, the local governments also turn a blind eye to this disturbing issue, which gives rise to the worsening of the situation.
As far as I am concerned, since human activities are largely responsible for environmental degradation in tourism spots, human beings should assume their responsibility to reverse the worrying trend. Tourists should be aware of the necessity of protecting environment in scenic spots and volunteer to act as environment protector while local governments should offer effective supervision and impose harsh punishment on environment destroyers. Only when everyone regulate his own behaviors, can tourist resorts gradually regain their attraction.
