    What is Math Anxiety?
    Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite   36 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer   37 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of   38 the lines? Fear of being judged   39 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使现出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won’t be able to do the   40 or the fear that it’s too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of  41 . For the most part, math anxiety is the   42 about doing the math right, our minds draw a   43 and we think we’ll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the  44 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety to grow for many students.
    Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
    Usually math anxiety stems(起源于) from   45 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias(恐慌症) have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often   46  poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math  47 . Many of the students I’ve encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much   48 , the math is quickly forgotten and   49 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept — the division of fractions(分数). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒数) and inverses. In other words, ‘It’s not yours to reason why, just invert(反转) and multiply(乘)’. Well, you memorized the rule and it   50  . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone ever use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If   51  , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures —   52 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good  53 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students   54 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important   55 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

    本文说明了什么事数学焦虑和它是从哪里来的。完成本题要结合自己学数学的经历。
    小题1: B 数学焦虑和舞台怯场是相似的（. similar），而非不同（different），距离远（far），和熟悉（familiar）。
    小题2: D 前文提过舞台怯场，当然这儿先介绍什么事舞台怯场（stage-fright），而不是演讲（speech），表演（performance），和威胁（threatens）。
    小题3:C 担心忘了（forgetting）台词，而不是理解（understanding），记忆（memorizing），阅读（reading）台词。
    小题4: A 担心受到恶（就是糟糕：poorly）评，而不是疯狂地（crazily），好地（well），公共地（publicly）受到评价。
    小题5: B做不出数学（math）题，而非汉语（Chinese）题，英语（English）题，和物理（physics）题。
    小题6: D 这种害怕起因于缺乏自信（confidence），而非愿望（wish），良知（conscience），和毅力（determination）。
    小题7: A 数学焦虑就是害怕（fear）做数学，远非高兴（joy），乐趣（pleasure），和怀疑（doubt）。
    小题8: C 我们的大脑一片空白（blank），失败（failure），选择（choice），死亡（. death）明显不能使语境通畅。
    小题9: B 我们越是焦虑，大脑一片空白的几率就越大（greater），而不是越远（further），越少（less），越小（smaller）。
    小题10: A 通常数学焦虑来自做数学题的不愉快的（unpleasant）经历，不公平（unfair），令人高兴（pleasant），成功（successful），明显不行。
    小题11: D 数学焦虑常常是因为（due to）糟糕的教学和糟糕经历。应该是介词短语而不是连词，因为后面是名词故用due to 而不是because，thanks to 通常表示由于好的原因，result in的意思是导致，而非因为。
    小题12: B 这明显或导致数学焦虑（anxiety），前文都是用这个词，而非害怕（fear），失败（failure），和误解（misunderstanding）。
    小题13: C 当一个人不经理解（understanding）而去记忆过程、规则、和程序时，这些数学内容很快就会忘掉，根据常理，理解而记忆的内容不易遗忘，而不是忘记（forgetting），使用（use），和知识（knowledge）。
    小题14: A 这样一来，害怕（panic）就会进来。前文就是害怕，绝非兴奋（excitement），失望（disappointment），和鼓励（encouragement）。
    小题15: B 是的你记住了，这就起作用(works)了，而不是打开了（opens），开始了（starts），和跑了（runs）。
    小题16: C 如果这不（not）起作用的话，你只是记住了过程，而绝不是是这样（so），可能（possible），和任何（any），这些都不适合这儿的语言环境和作者的思路。
    小题17: D 你要是忘了一点怎么办（what if：如果……会……）,这儿不是哪儿（where），为什么（why），何时（when），what if……是固定句式。
    小题18: A 好的记忆力（memory）是有帮助的，方法（method），大脑（brain），身体（body）显得与前面的不照应。
    小题19: B 一旦学生认识到（realize）他能学数学，整个担心焦虑都会被克服，远非装填（fill），证实（confirm），和辨认出（recognize）。
    小题20:D 老师和家长在确保学生理解数学方面有重要作用（role），而非任务（task），目标（aim），和约定（appointment）。

    Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of 60 to 90 minutes less than experts say they need.
    Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.
    As a result，many students go to class feeling like Danny，16 years old. He plays two sports，lacrosse and football. He is an active teen—except in the morning. DANNY：“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I’m just very out of it and tired. And through first and second period I can hardly stay awake.”
    Michael Breus，a clinical psychologist with a specialty in sleep disorders says：“These aren’t a bunch of lazy kids—although，you know，teenagers can of course be lazy. These are children whose biological rhythms，more times than not，are off.”Teens，he says，need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night. He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road because any tired driver is dangerous，especially a teenager with a lack of experience.
    So what can schools do about sleepy students？The psychologist says one thing they can do is start classes later in the morning.
    Eric Peterson，head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island，says，“In the end，schools ought to do what’s the right thing for their students，first and foremost.”And he wanted to see if a 30-minute delay would make a difference. It did.
    小题1:According to the passage，which of the following is the chief cause of sleepy teenagers？
    A．Persona haibits.B．Early school hours.
    C．Sports activities.D．Too much home work.
    小题2:According to Michael Breus，         .
    A．Teenagers are too lazy to get up early for school.
    B．Teenagers should change their biological rhythms.
    C．Lacking sleep can cause serious problems.
    D．Sleepy teenagers shouldn’t drive to school.
    小题3:What is Eric Peterson’s opinion on the issue？
    A．Schools should try their best to help students.
    B．Students should adjust to their school’s schedule.
    C．Changing school schedule is their last choice.
    D．Something has to change at the end of a school day.
    小题4:What does the underlined word“It”in the last sentence might refer to？
    A．St.George School.B．Rhode Island State.
    C．Students in St.George School.D．30-minute delay of school day.
    小题5:What can you infer might follow the passage immediately？
    A．Some positive changes in St.George’s school.
    B．Some complaints from teachers and parents.
    C．Some tips on how to help students foremost.
    D．Some unexpected outcome of the delay.

    On the whole, it’s not something we parents shout about, but one in four of us does it. Hiring private tutors for our children is now widespread.
    “It’s expensive, but worth it,” says Ashan Sabri, whose daughter Zarreen, is having tuition in biology and chemistry in preparation for A-levels this summer. “My husband and I tried to tutor her at home, but we found all our knowledge was out of date and we were only confusing Zarreen. We also tried a group revision course but all the children were sitting in a room for different kinds of exams. On the whole, we think one-to-one tuition works best.”
    The real reason is: does tutoring do any good?
    “It’s not the magic bullet,” says Professor Judith Ireson, author of a 2005 Institute of Education report on the subject. “It’s still up to the child to do the learning. If he or she isn’t interested, sending them to a private tutor won’t do any good. However, we did find that students who had private tuition in mathematics during the two years before GCSE achieved on average just under half a grade higher than students who did not have a tutor.”
    In which case, surely it’s time to break open the champagne? Not necessarily, says Elaine Tyrrell, head of The Rowans School, Wimbledon, a preparation school which regularly gets children into the best private schools.
    “While we recommend private tutoring for a few children whose first language isn’t English, we don’t encourage it for the others. With the level of education they get here, children really ought to be able to pass the entrance exams without any extra teaching. And our worry is that they might just get used to getting help from last-minute tutoring, but, once they actually get to that school, they won’t be able to cope.”
    But Mylene Curtis, owner of Fleet Tutors, one of the biggest tutoring agencies in the country, holds a different view.
    “In some respects, the hurdles children have to leap in order to get into these schools are set at a higher level than the reality,” says Curtis. “We often find that, once a child has got into a school, the standard of work isn’t as high as was feared. The trick is to do well enough in the exam to win a place.”
    小题1:What does Ashan Sabri think of the group revision course?
    A．It’s expensive but worthwhile because it works the best.
    B．It confuses students because the knowledge taught in it is out of date.
    C．It isn’t effective because it doesn’t focus on specific exams.
    D．It is effective because it doesn’t focus on specific exams.
    小题2: What do the underlined words “magic bullet” in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A．Something that cannot help to solve problems at all.
    B．Something that solves a difficult problem in an easy way.
    C．Something that seems useful but has no use at all.
    D．Something that encourages interest in study.
    小题3:According to Elaine Tyrrell, private tutoring is _______.
    A．effective in language learning but not for exams
    B．effective for foreign students but not for local students
    C．unnecessary in most cases and may harm the further study of students
    D．unnecessary in secondary school but helpful to further study
    小题4: What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
    A．Fleet Tutors and the Rowans School are competitors.
    B．Entrance exams to schools are too difficult for most students.
    C．Further study isn’t as difficult as was first thought.
    D．Private tuition is worth the financial investment.
    小题5:What attitude does the author hold towards home tutoring?
    A．CriticalB．ObjectiveC．SupportiveD．Uninterested

    Most Americans enjoy moving from one place to another. They are always in constant motion. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometres away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe just for watching a football match. In some states only one house in five has people living in it for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school education in two or three cities, and then attend a college far across the country. When he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from job to job, which is called “job-hopping”,is a very common practice in the United States.
    Job-hopping does good to workers, because every chance to change a job gives them a chance to move up to a higher position and to get better pay. And job-hopping also gives employers, bosses, managers the chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their factories.
    小题1:The meaning of the underlined words is close to “_____”.
    A．looking for jobs everywhereB．always feeling excited in movement
    C．enjoying themselves while movingD．keeping moving from place to place
    小题2:In some places in America,______ in one place for more than five years.
    A．most people stayB．about one fifth of the people live
    C．the owner of one house staysD．the owners of five houses stay
    小题3:It seems that the writer thinks job-hopping________.
    A．is a practice worth tryingB．only does good to workers
    C．may cause troublesD．make many people lose their jobs

    Child labor — the employment of children in industry, often against their will — has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined（limited）to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.
    Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.
    The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision（监督）of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives—childhood.
    小题1:Which’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
    A．Children are often willing to work in large factories.
    B．Most children are working in British factories.
    C．The poor working conditions of child labor in Dickens’ novel.
    D．The working conditions for children are similar to those a hundred years ago.
    小题2:Girls’ work is ____.
    A．not harmful to the health though it is heavy
    B．not harmful to the health because it is light
    C．harmful to the health though it is light.
    D．harmful to the health because it is heavy
    小题3:Young children go to work ____.
    A．because they are forced toB．in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work
    C．in order to be paid wellD．in order to earn money for education
    小题4:To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests the following BUT ____.
    A．looking over factories more closely
    B．raising their payment and improving the system of education
    C．improving laws of protecting children’s interests
    D．punishing lawbreakers with severer fines

    "Time is a problem for children," states a news report for a new Swiss watch．Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time．" The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can't get to work on time．Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it's the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company．
    The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10．The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flick．Flick points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers．The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time．
    The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band （尼龙表带）．Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine．" The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25．Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time．
    小题1:From the news report we know that ____    .
    A．parents are patient when teaching children time
    B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time
    C．children are likely to learn time quickly

    B．a Flick Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time
    C．the Flick Flak can take children's imagination
    D．children usually have trouble telling time if they don't wear watches
    小题3:The underlined word handicap （Para．1） means ____    .
    A．displeasureB．discouragement
    C．disappointmentD．disadvantage
    小题4:The United State sales manager calls the new watch “childproof” because ___   .
    A．it is designed to teach children to be on time
