What is Math Anxiety?

Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite    1   to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer   2   ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of   3   the lines? Fear of being judged   4   ? 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   5   or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of   6   . For the most part, math anxiety is the   7   about doing the math right, our minds draw a   8   and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the   9   the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.

Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?

Usually math anxiety stems from    10  experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often  11    poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math   12   . 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   13   , the math is quickly forgotten and   14   soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions(小部分). 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   15   . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If   16   , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures --   17   if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good   18   will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students   19   they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important   20   to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

解析:

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。

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)。

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)。

3. C 担心忘了(forgetting)台词,而不是理解(understanding),记忆(memorizing),阅读(reading)台词。

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。

5. B做不出数学(math)题,而非汉语(Chinese)题,英语(English)题,和物理(physics)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)。

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)。

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。

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)。

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。

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。

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)。

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)。

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)。

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)。

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。

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。

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。

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)。

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)。

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald ’ s on one cold winter evening. It seemed that

they didn' t come to the right place with the young families and young couples eating that night.

Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip at the drink and then set the cup down between them.

   Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”

So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

1.What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?

A.Books that her sister was reading.

B.Books without pictures or conversations.

C.Books about white rabbits.

D.Books with pictures and conversations.

2.Which of the following is true?

A.Alice suddenly saw a white rabbit with a strange umbrella.

B.Alice managed to fall right through the earth.

C.Alice ran after the white rabbit across the field out of curiosity.

D.The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward.

3.Which is the right order of the story?

a. Alice jumped into a large hole.

b. A white rabbit ran close by her.

c. Alice sat by her sister, doing nothing.

d. She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.

A.c-b-a-d

B.d-a-c-b

C.a-b -c-d

D.d-c-a -b

4. From the passage, we can see Alice is a(n)________girl.

A.helpful and friendly

B.curious and imaginative

C.brave and curious

D.ignorant and pretty

5. The following paragraph “In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.” can be put between_________.

A.Paragraphs 1 and 2

B.Paragraphs 2 and 3
