Question

Most middle school students find it boring to learn math. But students in Yet Sen Middle School in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points, ”said Joel. Klein, the school’s headteacher, “We’re looking for a new way that interests students. ”

Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫)with their keyboards, some questions come up.

Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“I was right, ”said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score(高分). “This really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better. ”

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要叙述的是一种不同于平常的学习数学的新方法—使用电脑游戏来学习。

1. 细节题。根据第一段最后一句Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.可知主要是因为他们使用电脑学习数学。故B正确。

2. 推理题。根据文章第二段第一句“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it.可知老师给学生一种新的学习方法，没有哪一种传统的方法比得上它。再根据接下来两段叙述内容学生对此很感兴趣。所以B项说法错误。

3. 猜测词义题。根据本段Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.可知他要回答这个数学问题，那么需要进行计算。故该词是指A项“算出”。故A正确。

4. 推理题。根据文章第三段第一句Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games.可知他们是通过游戏来学习数学，接下来所列举Caleb Deng的例子也正是为了证明这一点。故D正确。

5.C 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述的是一种不同于平常的学习数学的新方法—使用电脑游戏来学习。故C正确。
