These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.‎ The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.‎ Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more ‎ troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.‎ By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.‎ Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.‎ With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.‎ If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.‎ ‎31. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?‎ A. Algebra. B. College Mathematics.‎ C. Arithmetic. D. Mathematics Education.‎ ‎32. What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?‎ A. Stronger imaginative ability.‎ B. Additional presentation skills.‎ C. More mathematical confidence.‎ D. Greater chances of becoming teachers.‎ ‎33. What can we learn about Professor H. Siegel?‎ A. He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.‎ B. He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.‎ C. He works in Georgia State University.‎ D. He specializes in training teachers.‎ ‎34. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?‎ A. A news report. B. A book review C. A lesson plan. D. An advertisement ‎【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B 34. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一门基础数学的课程，对课程的内容，上课的母的，师资进行了阐述。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic.”可知，基础数学涵盖算数的所有基础方面。故选C。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They will be able to clear away the mystery of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined.”可知，他们将能够揭开数学的神秘面纱，并以超出想象的自信面对学习。故选C。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第五段 “he is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious.”可知，H. Siegel是一位敬业的教师，在解释数学概念时有一种天赋，能让它们看起来清晰明了。从而推断出此人上30节课。故选B。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中，“If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.”可知，如果未能给您提供满意的课程，可以换课或退回学费。从而可以判断，本文有可能从广告中摘录的。故选D。‎ B 阅读理解。‎ Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”‎ Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.‎ Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?‎ Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!‎ ‎35. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?‎ A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous.‎ C. Boring. D. Puzzling.‎ ‎36. Why was the author confused about the task?‎ A. He was unfamiliar with American history.‎ B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.‎ C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.‎ D. He was new at the school.‎ ‎37. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.‎ A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager ‎38. In the end, the author turned things around _______.‎ A. by redoing his task B. through his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfather D. under the guidance of his headmaster ‎【答案】35. B 36. A 37. D 38. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了主人公“我”在完成老师交待的任务时，对美国历史不是很熟悉，介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿，而是另外一个人。在课堂上，读自己写的有关人物的报告时，引起了同学的嘲笑，分数也很低，接下来的时间，主人公“我”努力学习，并最终取得了好的成绩。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.句意为：我自豪地读着我写文章，我环视着教室的周围，同学们的脸上都强忍着大大的微笑，在他们的眼里都憋出了泪花，更加疑惑的是，我还看见了老师那“石头般’的绷着的脸。由同学们的笑和老师的表情判断作者的同学认为“我”的文章是荒唐可笑的。故答案为B ‎36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二自然段I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.可知，以前，我从未听说过这个名字，但查找之后发现有两个人的名字一样，而又是完全不同的两个人，一个是发现了花生的数百种用法的人，一个是领导了美国的革命，我也不知道，老师指的是哪一个。由此可知，“我”对美国的历史是不了解的。故答案为A ‎【37题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。由本句I was totally lost.I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong.可知，我完全的蒙了，我放下我的文章坐在桌子旁边，burning的找到我犯的错误。由此可知，作者完全蒙了，急切想知道自己犯了什么错误。划线的词的意思是“ 急切的”。故选D项。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.我感觉，我受到的惩罚是不公平的，我还应该有第二次机会，剩余时间我把自己全身心的投入到我的学习中。由此可知改变事情的结果是通过“我”的努力。故选B项。‎ C Decision-making under Stress A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.‎ The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.‎ ‎“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”‎ For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.‎ This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.‎ The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and ‎ women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.‎ Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.‎ This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.‎ ‎39. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.‎ A. keep rewards better in their memory B. recall consequences more effortlessly C. make risky decisions more frequently D. learn a subject more effectively ‎40. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.‎ A. ways of making choices B. preference for pleasure C. tolerance of punishments D. responses to suggestions ‎41. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.‎ A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits B. men have a greater tendency to slow down C. women focus more on outcomes D. men are more likely to take risks ‎【答案】39. A 40. A 41. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在压力之下人们作出决定时的考虑是不一样的，并通过实验说明人们在有压力的时候通常想到的是积极的一面比较多，同时也介绍了男人和女人在面对不同的压力时反映也是不同的。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.(人们在压力之下记住更多的是积极方面而不是消极后果。)”和第三段“In both ‎ cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.(在以上两个案例中，受到压力的这些参与者相对于那些没有经历压力的人来说记得更多更清楚的是奖励的物资而不是惩罚。)”由此可知，人们在压力下往往会更好地记住奖励。故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章的标题及第一自然段的总结可知压力影响的是人们做出决定的方式，即如何作出选择。第一自然段为文章的中心， 一项新的研究表明压力影响了人们对有利条件和不利条件的考虑方式，导致了人们更多的去思考好的一面而忽视了消极的一面，故选A。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. ”实验中，在受到冰冷的水的压力之下男士趋向于冒更大的险，而女士的反映则相反，故选D。‎ D As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electhical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）systen for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the suurouding community. The same is true of big solar ppants and the power lines that will be laid dowm to move electricity around.‎ The 19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads ,leaving public land in between privately owned land . In much of the west ,some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped ,and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management ,with the completion or the interstate highway system ,many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well ,have lost their lifeblood and died .‎ Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west .this is not an argument against building then ,we need alternative energy badly .and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now .‎ So trade-offs will have to be made .some scenic sport will be sacrificed .some species (物种)will be forced to move ,or will be carefully moved to special accommodations ,deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects .‎ The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter .the 21st century development of the American west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good .but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind ,just like the railroad and the highway .‎ The money set aside in negotiated trade –offs and the institution that control will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines .so let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west .‎ ‎42. what was the problem caused by the construction of the railways ?‎ A. small towns along the railways became abandoned .‎ B. some railroad stops remained .‎ C. land in the west was hard to manage .‎ D. land grants went into private hands.‎ ‎43. what is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs ?‎ A. the transmission of power B. the use of money and power C. the conservation of solar energy D. the selection of an ideal place ‎44. what is the author ‘s attitude towards building solar plants ?‎ A. cautious B. approving C. doubtful D. disapproving ‎45. which is the best title for the passage ?‎ A. how the railways have affected the west B. how solar energy could reshape the west C. how the effects of power plants can be reduced D. how the problems of the highways have been settled ‎【答案】42.
