A certain survey was conducted to ask students to name the school subject that was (41)E as the most difficult.Not surprisingly,mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart.So what is it about math that makes it difficult?
In dictionaries the word"difficult"is (42)C as"not easily or readily done; requiring much labor or planning to be performed successfully."This definition gets to the point of the problem when it comes to math.What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and (43)G.For many students,math is not something that comes automatically.It takes effort.It is a subject that sometimes requires students to (44)A lots and lots of time and energy.
This means,for many,the problem has little to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power.And since students don't make their own timelines,they can run out of the time as the teacher moves on the next topic.
Scientists believe that people (45)I different math understanding sills.Logical and left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in a different way in which intuitive and right-brainers do.They (46)H a lot of information at one time and allow time to let it"sink in".So left-brain students may grasp concepts quickly while right-brain students don't.To those right brain student,time loss can make them feel (47)J and behind.Unfortunately in busy classrooms with too many students,students are not always blessed with enough time.We have to move on,ready or not.
Math know-how is also snowballing,which means it works much like a pile of building blocks.You have to gain enough blocks in one area before you can effectively go on to"build upon"another area.Our first mathematical building blocks are established in primary school,when we learn rules and (48)B for addition and multiplication,and those first concepts become our (49)D.These mathematical concepts or knowledge has to sink in and become firm before students can move on to challenge the next stage of new concepts.However,teachers don't have time to ensure that every single student understands every single concept.So some students move to the next level with really shaky knowledge system.As a result,as they climb the ladder,they may meet with more and more difficulties and might (50)F painful failures at some point.

What makes a person a scientist?Does he have (41)D or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is"No".It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools(42)F makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to(43)G,how to discover information,is important to everyone.The scientist,(44)A,goes one step further:he must be sure that he has a(45)C answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions (46)B.What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different,any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be (47)J by the change in the conditions.
This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein,who(48)E the theory of relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The(49)H of his mathematics was later tested through investigation.Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

1.I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car.Though I had only been there once(16)B and did not know the (17)A very well.I was on the (18)Bafter I had made some inquiries (询问).
At Ashvelle,there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a shortcut.The shortcut was to (19)A several hills and was dangerous,I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road,for I wanted to be (20)D.
Something strange happened after I drove a long (21)B and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to (22)B,but the hilly road I decided to avoid.I realized that it was at the(23)Athat I had made the (24)Cmistake."What shall I do?"I asked myself.If I went back to take that road again,it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia.Thin it (25)C,I decided to go on."If (26)A people can go along this road,why can't I?"I (27)C myself.
The short cut,to my surprise,was not that (28)D.In fact,it was only a very peaceful country road,(29)Aup and down two low(30)B.There was (31)Btraffic.On both sides of the road,you could see trees,wild flowers,and(32)A with cows and horses.My fear was (33)A with the wind.Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声),I drove on and (34)A the scenery which was so quiet and so natural.Even my used car forgot to give me(35)D.It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination.My friends,after they heard what had happened to me,all said it sounded like an adventure.

12.The True Story of Treasure IslandIt was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson's imagination.(41)A,recent research has found the true story of this exciting work.
Stevenson,a Scotsman,has lived(42)Dfor many years.In 1881he returned to Scotland for a(43)C.With him were his American wife Fanny and his son(44)A.
Each morning Stevenson would take them out for a long(45)Cover the hills.They had been(46)Dthis for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.Kept indoors by the heavy rain,Lloyd felt the days(47)B.To keep the boy happy,Robert asked the boy to do some(48)C.
One morning,the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island.Robert(49)Bthat the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of(50)D."What's that?"he asked."That's the(51)Btreasure,"said the boy.Robert suddenly(52)Asomething of an adventure story in the boy's(53)C.While the rain was pouring,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story.He would make the(54)Ba twelveyearold boy,just like Lloyd.But who would be the pirate(海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley,who walked around with the(55)Aof a wooden leg.Robert had always wanted to(56)Csuch a man in a story.(57)DLong John Silver,the pirate with a wooden leg,was(58)B.
So,thanks to a(59)ASeptember in Scotland,a friend with a wooden leg,and the imagination of a twelveyearold boy,we have one of the greatest(60)Dstories in the English language.
