"If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers2 in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement3 said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers4. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident. Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn - and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word "anxiety" to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry. The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first- and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores. The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt5. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example,was probably anxious about math. Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did.Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math - and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety. "This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample6," said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 1 页,共 5 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - Missouri7 in Columbia. 词汇:snowball /'sn.ub.:l/ 雪球;滚雪球式增长的事 superstar/'sju:p.sta:/ n超级明星 练习:replication/repli'kei.n/ n 重复,复现1.

What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago,according to the first paragraph. A Girls comfortable with their own math skills are better than boys at math. B Girls uncomfortable with their own math skills are not as good as boys at math. C Female teachers' math skills have influence over girl students' math skills. D Female teachers' confidence in their math skills is related to girl's math skills. 2. What is implied in the third paragraph. A Math teachers,like math learners,do not like the subject due to its difficulty.

According to the experiment,those teachers were probably anxious about math when they felt A nervous memorizing the numbers of a sales receipt. B helpless saving the numbers of a sales receipt. C uneasy reading the numbers of a sales receipt. D hopeless filling in the numbers of a sales report. 4. The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings A prove a strong link between female teachers' math anxiety and their female students' math achievements.

D discover a strong link between teachers' math anxiety and their students' math achievements. 5. David Geary thinks that A the study is interesting but it is based on unreliable research process. B the research results need to be retested based on a larger sample. C the research results need to be reinterpreted to be meaningful. D the study is well based and produces significant results. 答案与题解:1.D 该段告知我们女老师的想法(what female teachers think )和女同学的学习(what female students learn)之间有很大的关联度,也就是说,女老师假如对自己的数学技能没有自 信,她的女同学很可能信任男孩子会在数学方面超过女孩子;2.B 第三段的大意是,数学对任何人来说都可能有难度(The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone,犹如同学,老师也会觉得数学难学和难教,这就是争论者所言的焦虑;所以,可以推断,作者是要告知我们,老师会由于数学这门学科的难度而对教授该课程不自信;其他选项都不是该段所要表达的内容;3.C 第五段第三句 “To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页,共 5 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt 指出了答案; memorizing the numbers ;意为 “记住数字 ”;saving the numbers 意为“ 储存数字 ”;filling in the numbers 意为 “间续编入数字 ” ,而且文中没有提到 a sales report;它们均不是答案;4.A 短文的第六段是对前一段所述调查数据结果的争论,即,男同学较少受对数学有焦虑感的老师影响,而那些数学成果较低的女生都有对数学有焦虑感的老师(girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests ,而且,全部认为男生数学确定比女生强的女生,其数学老师都是有数学焦虑感的女老师(all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety. ;D 所以不是正确的挑选,由于只提到 teachers 和students,而不是 female teachers 和 female students;5.B 依据 David Geary 的说法,试验结果仍是初步的(preliminary ,需要更大的样本对其进行重复验证(in need of replication with a larger sample ;他没有认为该试验的过程不行靠,所以 A 不是正确选项;他认为试验样本不够大,所以举荐阅读:D 也不是正确选项;目前 职称英语 考试报名工作各地已经终止,各地考试报名订购的教材也在间续发放领取,点击此处进入职称英语考试用书领取通知汇总>>为了让广大考生有更充分的时间备考,职业培训训练网“ 20XX年职称英语考试网上辅导” 现已全面招生,自付费之日起可不限时间、次数重复点播学习,直到当期考试终止后一 周关闭,机会难得,欲报从速!20XX 年职称英语考试网上辅导课程已经全面改版,荣耀升级高清视频逼真课堂模式,名师归纳总结 让学员学习起来更真实,更清楚,更便利!欢迎体验 >>第 4 页,共 5 页- - - - - - -精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页,共 5 页
