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.
分析 本文讲述了在一项调查学校中哪些科目比较难时,数学出现在难度表上,因为数学需要耐心和坚持.需要花费很多的时间和精力.文章还告诉我们,学好数学需要在小学就打好基础,因为数学的知识是越滚越大的.
解答 41-50 E C G A I H J B D F
41.E.考查动词.根据后文"So what is it about math that makes it difficult"可知,数学科目因为学生学着比较困难被选中,故可推测,调查是让学生选出被标记为困难的科目."labeled"意为:标记的.符合语境.故选E.
42.C.考查推理判断.根据前后句句意,"difficult"(难)和"not easily or readily done"(不容易或不同意做的)两者意思接近.前半句又提到字典,结合选项,可推测本句想表达:在字典中,"难"这个词被定义为"不容易或容易完成"."defined"意为:定义.符合语境.故选C.
43.G.考查名词."and"连接两个意义相似的句子或单词,"patience"意为:耐心.根据句意,数学需要耐心,结合选项及常识,数学需要耐心和坚持."persistence"意为:坚持.符合语境.故选G.
44.A.考查动词.根据后半句"lots and lots of time and energy."很多精力和时间.由常识可知,数学需要花费很多精力和时间.结合选项,"devote"意为:致力于.符合语境.故选A.
45.I.考查动词.根据句意,本句考查"people"(人类)和"different math understanding sills"(不同的数学理解技巧)的关系,结合选项及常识,人类拥有不同的数学理解方法."possess"意为:拥有.符合语境.故选I.
46.H.考查动词.根据后文"So left-brain students may grasp concepts quickly while right-brain students don't"可知,左脑学生可以很快掌握概念,而右脑学生则不能.,而此句"they"指左脑思考者,故可知,左脑思考者会及时吸收大量的信息并使这些信息被大脑吸收."absorb"意为:吸收.符合语境.故选H.
47.J.考查形容词.前文已经提到左脑学生可以很快掌握概念,而右脑学生则不能,因此时间的流逝会使右脑思考者更困惑和落后."confused"意为困惑的,符合语境,故选J.
48.B.考查名词.根据句意和常识,我们在小学时要学习数学乘法和加法的规则和原则."principles"意为:原则.符合语境.故选B.
49.D.考查名词.根据句意和常识,我们在小学要学习的这些概念都是在为我们之后的学习打基础.句意:我们的第一个数学积木是建立在小学,那时我们学习加法和乘法的规则和原则.而这些第一个概念成为我们的基础."foundations"意为:基础.符合语境,故选D.
50.F.考查动词.根据前半句"they may meet with more and more difficulties"可知,他们在学习的过程中会遇到越来越多的困难,根据语境和常识,在与困难的斗争中难免会有失败,而学生能做的,只有忍受它,再次去战胜它."endure"意为:忍受.符合语境.故选F.
点评 本文属于选词填空类型.答题时要面向整体内容,切忌片面理解.快速把全篇通读一遍.抓好关键词,进行推断,使填词后组成的句子结构完整、合理.一定要注意前后照应,关注上下文之间的密切关系.做题时可以根据上句的信息推断下句的信息,通过下句的信息推断上句的信息,即:要填前面的空行,看后句的信息,要填后面的空行,看前句的含义.
