【正文】 ys done before this one， college students who want to bee elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about ， nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women， Levine said. 6． Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to . A． know the effects of teaching on learning B． study students’ ways of learning math C． prove women teachers are unfit to teach math D． find better teaching methods for teachers 答案 B 解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的 “ In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school...” 可知 Sian Beilock和 Susan Levine進行這項研究是為了了解孩子們學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的方法。 7． The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that girls may . A． end up learning math anxiety from their teachers B． study the ways their female teachers behave C． have an influence on their math anxious female teachers D． gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math 答案 A 解析 句意理解題。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，如果女老師對數(shù)學(xué)有焦慮感，那么她的女學(xué)生可能會認(rèn)為男生要比女生在數(shù)學(xué)這一學(xué)科上有天賦，對數(shù)學(xué)也會越來越不自信，這也就意味著，如果女生一直遇到對數(shù)學(xué)有焦慮感的女老師，那么這種焦慮感最終也會傳染給她們，所以答案為 A項。 8． In the study， what were the teachers required to do? A． Prepare two math achievement tests for the students. B． Tell their feelings about math problems. C． Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy. D． Compare the students’ scores after the math tests. 答案 B 解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的 “ To find out which teachers were anxious about math，the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math， such as when reading a sales receipt.” 可知，老師被要求說出他們在碰到數(shù)學(xué)問題時的感受。 9． What is the finding of the new study? A． No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety. B． Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys. C． About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls. D． Girls with math anxious teachers all failed in the math tests. 答案 C 解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的 “ The new study involved 65 girls...” 可知參加研究項目的女生共 65人，再根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句 “ Plus， on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math— and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with math anxiety.” 可推算出， 20位女生占 65位女生中的約 30%。 10． Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A． 117 students and teachers took part in the new study. B． The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study. C． Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math. D． Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers. 答案 B 解析 細(xì)節(jié) 理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的 “ ...Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn...” 可知，這兩位研究人員對研究結(jié)果表示驚訝。 文章中的 2 個閱讀障礙句分析 1． If a female teacher is unfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.(Paragraph 2) 句式分析： if 引導(dǎo) 條件狀語 從句 ， 主句中動詞不定式 to believe后接一個 that引導(dǎo)的 賓語從句 ， be likely to do...很可能做 ?? 。 自主翻譯： 如果一位女教師對自己數(shù)學(xué)方面的能力不滿意，那么她所教的女學(xué)生會更可能認(rèn)為男生 比女生在數(shù)學(xué)這一學(xué)科上優(yōu)秀。 2． The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.(Paragraph 2) 句式分析： 動詞 suggest (表明 )后跟 that引導(dǎo)的 賓語從句 ， 在從句中含有 if引導(dǎo)的 條件狀語 從句 ， if 從句中還含有一個 that引導(dǎo)的 賓語 從句 that boys are better at math...。 自主翻譯： 研究表明，如果這些女孩子在成長的過程中認(rèn)為男孩子在數(shù)學(xué)方面比女孩子優(yōu)秀的話，那么她們的表現(xiàn)就不如有信心時好。
