20.Despite gains in recent years,women still fall behind men in some areas of math achievement,and the question of why has caused heated argument.Now,a study of first and second graders suggests what may be part of the answer:Female primary school teachers who are concerned about their own skills could be passing that along to the little girls they teach.Young students tend to model themselves after adults of the same sex,explained Beilock,an associate professor in psychology at the University of Chicago.Little girls may learn to fear math from the women who are their earliest teachers.Beilock and her colleagues studied 52boys and 65girls in classes taught by 17different teachers.Ninety percent of the US primary school teachers are women,as was all of those in this study.
Students'math ability was not related to teachers'math anxiety at the start of the school year,but at the end of the year,the more anxious teachers were about their own skills,the more likely their female students-but not the boys-were to agree to that"boys are good at math and girls are good at reading".In addition,the girls who answered that way scored lower on math tests than either the classes'boys or the girls who had not developed such a belief,the researchers found.
After seeing the results,the researchers recommended that the math requirements for obtaining a primary education teaching degree should be rethought."If the next generation of teachers,especially primary school teachers,is going to teach their students more effectively,more care needs to be taken to develop both strong math skills and positive math attitudes in these educators,"the researchers wrote.
"Girls who grow up believing females lack math skills wind up avoiding harder math classes.It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers,particularly in science technology,"Beilock said.

分析 主要讲述了女孩子们在女性老师的教学下,数学学习会变得焦虑甚至会产生厌学情绪,因为她们会对女老师的能力产生质疑,从而影响自己的学习,
解答 28.A 细节题.根据文章内容,Ninety percent of the US primary school teachers are women,as was all of those in this study由此可知,百分之90的美国小学教师是女性,故A正确
29.B 推理题.根据文章内容,Girls who grow up believing females lack math skills wind up avoiding harder math classes.It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers,particularly in science technology在成长的过程中认为女性教师缺少数学技能的女生会逃避更多更难的数学课,由此导致她们以后的职业受限,结合选项,故选B
30.D 细节题.根据文章内容,If the next generation of teachers,especially primary school teachers,is going to teach their students more effectively,more care needs to be taken to develop both strong math skills and positive math attitudes in these educators,"the researchers wrote.由此可知,老师应该加强他们自身在数学方面的技能修养,同时改变他们的教学态度,结合选项,故选D
31.A 写作目的题、根据文章内容,主要讲述了女孩子们在女性老师的教学下,数学学习会变得焦虑甚至会产生厌学情绪,因为她们会对女老师的能力产生质疑,从而影响自己的学习,结合选项,故选A

According to Kohn,research doesn't (35)C the theory that competition brings success.One after another,researchers have concluded that children don't learn better (36)C education is changed into a competitive struggle.Competition prevents a child's ability(37)B not only educationally but socially,too.
So,(38)D competition,cooperation!Instead of (39)C other people's children,parents need to pay close attention to their own,learn who they are,discover their interests and talents,and teach them how to cooperate with others.They will need role models to (40)A them.
