I often hear kids say, “I’m not a math person” or “I’m just not good at math.” These statements reflect what’s called a “fixed mindset”, which is often associated with a sense of discouragement, powerlessness and inability to improve one’s situation. A fixed mindset is extremely common in math classrooms, but with the help of teachers, students can adopt a “growth mindset”.
This means believing in their potential to acquire the skills and knowledge. In strong, productive teacher-student relationships, teachers nurture (培养) growth mindsets. And there are some key steps in building these relationships, starting with giving instruction that meets the skill levels of individual students. Besides, it’s important to give students social and emotional support, so they could develop social awareness self-management, decision-making and relationship skills.
How could teachers do these among class prep and grading duties? I believe in applying educational technologies. With the right tools, teachers can skillfully manage to individualize instruction and meet social-emotional needs.
Razzaq, a math teacher at Doherty High School, has students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and some were still learning English alongside math. The school once placed a student in her class, who hadn’t been in formal school since third grade. Students have different levels and social-emotional needs that demand attention from teachers. Sometimes they’re not aware or communicative of the areas in which they need help. Razzaq gives tests with the help of some educational platforms, which generate reports that summarize individual weak points. Then Razzaq could give instructions suiting their academic situations, making productive use of class time. She also uses technologies that provide insights into social-emotional experiences such as attentiveness and time management. The data enables her to initiate conversations that make a difference in students’ education.
More importantly, we need to examine our approach to education. Are we creating an environment where children can develop healthily? How are we satisfying the needs of our future generations? Only by knowing our vision can we decide the technology to complete the picture.
4. Which of the following problems do students often have about learning math according to the text?
A. Personal interest. B. Low confidence.
C. Poor self-control. D. Poor learning ability.
5. How does the author show the role of educational technologies?
A. By giving an example. B. By conducting research.
C. By analyzing statistical data. D. By making some comparisons.
6. What can we learn about the educational platforms mentioned in the text?
A. They encourage students to communicate.
B. They provide suggestions on math teaching.
C. They correct the mistakes students make in tests.
D. They give information about students’ learning situation .
7. What is the author probably?
A. A technician. B. A psychologist.
C. An educationist. D. A mathematician.
C
When we’re studying a new language, many of us approach it with dread. If we make a mistake or say something wrong, we judge ourselves strictly. But as it turns out, however, we’d benefit by shifting (转移) our focus and worrying less about getting it right, according to Marianna Pascal, a communication skills trainer.
As a teacher who’s spent 20 years in Malaysia helping people speak better English, Pascal noticed that some students didn’t get a high language level but could still communicate very effectively. She remembers one specific student named Faisal. Despite not knowing much English, she says, “This guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly, clearly, and then he could respond and express his thoughts beautifully.”
She also observed some students knew quite a bit of English but struggled to make themselves understood. Pascal noticed that a lot of these students’ attitude towards English is like her daughter’s attitude towards playing the piano. Pascal says her daughter hated piano and hated practicing, because she was afraid of being wrong. To her, her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.
Then she shared her experience in a cafe. The person sitting next to her was playing a game while his friends watched, and he just wasn’t a very good player. But at the same time, she saw something amazing. Even though this guy was terrible and his friends were watching him, there was no embarrassment or shyness. There was no feeling of being judged. Instead, he focused completely on the task at hand. Pascal says, “I suddenly realized that this is it. This is the same attitude that people hike Faisal have when they speak English.”
Pascal believes that speaking a language isn’t like those exams many of us had to take in grade school, where a tiny mistake would result in a big red X from the teacher, In the real world, what matters is whether we can make ourselves understood. She says, “If you want to speak English well, don’t focus on yourself but focus on the other person and the goal you want to achieve.”
8. What does the underlined word “dread” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Fear. B. Doubt. C. Curiosity. D. Confidence.
9. Why does Pascal mention her daughter?
A. To provide some advice. B. To offer some details.
C. To state a reason. D. To present a fact.
10. What did Pascal see from the man playing a game?
A. Never minding others’ opinions. B. Not judging a person too soon.
C. Improving through practicing. D. Playing a game with patience.
11. What might Pascal agree with ?
A. It is important for teachers to encourage students in exams.
B. It is OK to make small mistakes in speaking a language.
C. Language has to be fluently spoken in daily life.
D. Language is an art difficult to fully master.
D
What has the size of a soccer ball but can jump from the Statue of Liberty’s feet to her eye level? A new record-setting robot. An engineer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Hawkes, has been working on this robot for seven years with his colleagues. “It started out as a stick with weights and rubber bands (橡皮筋)”, he remembers. After years of work, the robot has reached heights of 30 meters, higher than any other jumping robot or living animal.
These researchers studied how animals jump. They looked into leaping (跳跃) frogs, spiders, kangaroos, dogs and more. But Hawkes’ group didn’t want to copy any of these animals. Instead, the team learned what features set the limits for animal jumpers.
“It’s very exciting,” says Cynthia Sung, a roboticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She was impressed with how high the robot jumped. And getting as high as possible was the main goal here. However, for the robot to be useful, it will need some improvements. “They don’t have any steering (转向装置) at all,” notes Sung. That means this robot can’t control its jump height or direction. Sung’s team has made its own jumping robot, named REBOund. That robot can’t jump very high. But it can be programmed to jump to any of several different heights.
Hawkes’ team is working to add steering to their robot. These researchers hope to send their robot to the moon, so they also want to find a way for it to make collections there. A jumper can go to places a robot with wheels can’t. Hawkes’ team is already working with NASA. They hope to turn their robot into a space explorer.
12. Why did the researchers look into how animals jump?
A. To draw inspiration for the robot’s appearance. B. To find reasons for their jumping limits.
C. To make the robot jump like them. D. To develop new rubber bands
13. What does Cynthia Sung want to show through her words?
A. Her REBOund is much better. B. Her REBOund is a big breakthrough.
C. Hawkes’ new robot can jump much higher. D. Hawkes’ new robot needs to be more practical.
14. What is Hawkes’ team’s attitude to their robot?
A. They seem reserved about it. B. They are doubtful about it.
C. They have high hopes for it. D. They are very concerned about it.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new way to explore the moon. B. A new method of building robots.
C. A new approach to jumping higher. D. A new record-setting leaping robot.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.
But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”
Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to say?” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it?”
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.
That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”
Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”
I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

Razzaq, a math teacher at Doherty High School, has students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and some were still learning English alongside math. The school once placed a student in her class, who hadn’t been in formal school since third grade. Students have different levels and social-emotional needs that demand attention from teachers. Sometimes they’re not aware or communicative of the areas in which they need help. Razzaq gives tests with the help of some educational platforms, which generate reports that summarize individual weak points. Then Razzaq could give instructions suiting their academic situations, making productive use of class time. She also uses technologies that provide insights into social-emotional experiences such as attentiveness and time management. The data enables her to initiate conversations that make a difference in students’ education.
More importantly, we need to examine our approach to education. Are we creating an environment where children can develop healthily? How are we satisfying the needs of our future generations? Only by knowing our vision can we decide the technology to complete the picture.
4. Which of the following problems do students often have about learning math according to the text?
A. Personal interest. B. Low confidence.
C. Poor self-control. D. Poor learning ability.
5. How does the author show the role of educational technologies?
A. By giving an example. B. By conducting research.
C. By analyzing statistical data. D. By making some comparisons.
6. What can we learn about the educational platforms mentioned in the text?
A. They encourage students to communicate.
B. They provide suggestions on math teaching.
C. They correct the mistakes students make in tests.
D. They give information about students’ learning situation .

C
When we’re studying a new language, many of us approach it with dread. If we make a mistake or say something wrong, we judge ourselves strictly. But as it turns out, however, we’d benefit by shifting (转移) our focus and worrying less about getting it right, according to Marianna Pascal, a communication skills trainer.
As a teacher who’s spent 20 years in Malaysia helping people speak better English, Pascal noticed that some students didn’t get a high language level but could still communicate very effectively. She remembers one specific student named Faisal. Despite not knowing much English, she says, “This guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly, clearly, and then he could respond and express his thoughts beautifully.”
She also observed some students knew quite a bit of English but struggled to make themselves understood. Pascal noticed that a lot of these students’ attitude towards English is like her daughter’s attitude towards playing the piano. Pascal says her daughter hated piano and hated practicing, because she was afraid of being wrong. To her, her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.
Then she shared her experience in a cafe. The person sitting next to her was playing a game while his friends watched, and he just wasn’t a very good player. But at the same time, she saw something amazing. Even though this guy was terrible and his friends were watching him, there was no embarrassment or shyness. There was no feeling of being judged. Instead, he focused completely on the task at hand. Pascal says, “I suddenly realized that this is it. This is the same attitude that people hike Faisal have when they speak English.”
Pascal believes that speaking a language isn’t like those exams many of us had to take in grade school, where a tiny mistake would result in a big red X from the teacher, In the real world, what matters is whether we can make ourselves understood. She says, “If you want to speak English well, don’t focus on yourself but focus on the other person and the goal you want to achieve.”
8. What does the underlined word “dread” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Fear. B. Doubt. C. Curiosity. D. Confidence.
9. Why does Pascal mention her daughter?
A. To provide some advice. B. To offer some details.
C. To state a reason. D. To present a fact.
10. What did Pascal see from the man playing a game?
A. Never minding others’ opinions. B. Not judging a person too soon.
C. Improving through practicing. D. Playing a game with patience.
11. What might Pascal agree with ?
A. It is important for teachers to encourage students in exams.
B. It is OK to make small mistakes in speaking a language.
C. Language has to be fluently spoken in daily life.
D. Language is an art difficult to fully master.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。当我们学习一门新语言时,很多人都会怀着恐惧的心情去学习。但事实证明,只要我们转移注意力,减少对正确与否的担心,就能从中获益。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词后文“If we make a mistake or say something wrong, we judge ourselves strictly.(如果我们犯了错误或说错了什么,我们会严格地评价自己)”可知,当我们学习一门新语言时,我们许多人带着恐惧去学,划线词dread与fear意思相近,意思为:恐惧,害怕。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She also observed some students knew quite a bit of English but struggled to make themselves understood. Pascal noticed that a lot of these students’ attitude towards English is like her daughter’s attitude towards playing the piano. Pascal says her daughter hated piano and hated practicing, because she was afraid of being wrong. To her, her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.(她还观察到一些学生虽然懂一点英语,但却很难让别人听懂。Pascal注意到很多学生对英语的态度就像她女儿对弹钢琴的态度一样。帕斯卡说,她的女儿讨厌钢琴,也讨厌练习,因为她害怕出错。对她来说,她在钢琴上的成功是由她犯的错误少来衡量的)”可推知,Pascal提到女儿学钢琴是为了说明造成学生们这种情况的原因,虽然他们懂一点英语,但是害怕出错。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The person sitting next to her was playing a game while his friends watched, and he just wasn’t a very good player. But at the same time, she saw something amazing. Even though this guy was terrible and his friends were watching him, there was no embarrassment or shyness. There was no feeling of being judged. Instead, he focused completely on the task at hand.(坐在她旁边的人正在玩游戏,而他的朋友在一旁看着,他并不是一个很好的玩家。但与此同时,她看到了一些惊人的东西。尽管这个人很糟糕,他的朋友们都在看着他,但他没有感到尴尬或害羞。没有被评判的感觉。相反,他完全专注于手头的任务)”可知,作者从这个玩游戏的人身上看到了他不在意别人的想法和看法。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Pascal believes that speaking a language isn’t like those exams many of us had to take in grade school, where a tiny mistake would result in a big red X from the teacher, In the real world, what matters is whether we can make ourselves understood.(Pascal认为,说一门语言不像我们许多人在小学必须参加的那些考试,在那里一个小错误就会导致老师给一个大大的红色X。在现实世界中,重要的是我们是否能让自己被理解)”可推知,Pascal认为,在学习语言时,犯一些小错误是没有关系的。故选B。
D
What has the size of a soccer ball but can jump from the Statue of Liberty’s feet to her eye level? A new record-setting robot. An engineer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Hawkes, has been working on this robot for seven years with his colleagues. “It started out as a stick with weights and rubber bands (橡皮筋)”, he remembers. After years of work, the robot has reached heights of 30 meters, higher than any other jumping robot or living animal.
These researchers studied how animals jump. They looked into leaping (跳跃的) frogs, spiders, kangaroos, dogs and more. But Hawkes’ group didn’t want to copy any of these animals. Instead, the team learned what features set the limits for animal jumpers.
“It’s very exciting,” says Cynthia Sung, a roboticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She was impressed with how high the robot jumped. And getting as high as possible was the main goal here. However, for the robot to be useful, it will need some improvements. “They don’t have any steering (转向装置) at all,” notes Sung. That means this robot can’t control its jump height or direction. Sung’s team has made its own jumping robot, named REBOund. That robot can’t jump very high. But it can be programmed to jump to any of several different heights.
Hawkes’ team is working to add steering to their robot. These researchers hope to send their robot to the moon so they also want to find a way for it to make collections there. A jumper can go to places a robot with wheels can’t. Hawkes’ team is already working with NASA. They hope to turn their robot into a space explorer.
12 Why did the researchers look into how animals jump?
A. To draw inspiration for the robot’s appearance. B. To find reasons for their jumping limits.
C. To make the robot jump like them. D. To develop new rubber bands
13. What does Cynthia Sung want to show through her words?
A. Her REBOund is much better. B. Her REBOund is a big breakthrough.
C. Hawkes’ new robot can jump much higher. D. Hawkes’ new robot needs to be more practical.
14. What is Hawkes’ team’s attitude to their robot?
A They seem reserved about it. B. They are doubtful about it.
C. They have high hopes for it. D. They are very concerned about it.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new way to explore the moon. B. A new method of building robots.
C. A new approach to jumping higher. D. A new record-setting leaping robot.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,研究人员研发出一种比任何已知的机器人都跳得更高的机器人。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These researchers studied how animals jump. They looked into leaping (跳跃的) frogs, spiders, kangaroos, dogs and more. But Hawkes’ group didn’t want to copy any of these animals. Instead, the team learned what features set the limits for animal jumpers. (这些研究人员研究了动物如何跳跃。他们研究了跳跃的青蛙、蜘蛛、袋鼠、狗等等。但霍克斯的团队并不想复制任何一种动物。相反,该团队了解到是什么特征设定了动物跳跃的限制。)”可知,研究人员研究动物如何跳跃式为了找出它们跳跃极限的原因,从而让机器人克服这些障碍。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, for the robot to be useful, it will need some improvements. “They don’t have any steering (转向装置) at all,” notes Sung. That means this robot can’t control its jump height or direction. (然而,要使机器人有用,还需要一些改进。Sung指出:“它们根本没有任何转向装置。”这意味着这个机器人不能控制自己的跳跃高度或方向。)”可推知,从Cynthia Sung的话中,我们可以知道霍克斯的新机器人目前实用性不强,还需要改善使其更实用。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hawkes’ team is working to add steering to their robot. These researchers hope to send their robot to the moon, so they also want to find a way for it to make collections there. A jumper can go to places a robot with wheels can’t. Hawkes’ team is already working with NASA. They hope to turn their robot into a space explorer. (霍克斯的团队正在努力为他们的机器人增加转向功能。这些研究人员希望将他们的机器人送上月球,所以他们也想找到一种方法,让机器人在那里进行收集。跳跃者可以到达有轮子的机器人无法到达的地方。霍克斯的团队已经在与美国宇航局合作。他们希望把他们的机器人变成一个太空探险家。)”可推知,霍克斯团队对这个机器人的将来充满信心。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“After years of work, the robot has reached heights of 30 meters, higher than any other jumping robot or living animal. (经过多年的工作,这个机器人已经达到了30米的高度,比任何其他的跳跃机器人或活的动物都要高。)”并结合全文说明该机器人研究过程及优缺点的介绍可知,本文主要介绍了一种创造跳跃记录的机器人,D选项“一种新的创纪录的跳跃机器人”符合本文大意。故选D。
第二节(共5小题,每小题25分,满分12.5分)
Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. ____16____ Regret can increase our stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.
____17____ One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path. That is, we can regret the things we did or we can regret the things we did not do. Research suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on. ____18____ This kind of regret is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety.
As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret. ____19____ Rather than stay put, people can manage these emotions in four steps: First, accept the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them: and, finally, release them and move forward.
You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).This means reminding yourself that you are human, you are doing the best you can and you can learn from past decisions and grow. ____20____
Noticing, acknowledging and then forgiving your thoughts are a powerful step towards overcoming regret.
A. Dealing with regret is even more difficult.
B. Regret is not only unpleasant, but also unhealthy.
C. There are basically two ways to experience regret.
D. But regret related to the inaction path is harder to fix.
E. Seeing the situation in a different way may help reduce regret.
F. In the long run, these strategies only increase negative feelings.
G. Showing this compassion to yourself can help you accept and move past the regret.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述后悔是会给人们带来心理上和身体上的消极影响的,进而提出了化解或消除后悔的策略。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. ”(后悔是对人生中令人失望的事件的真实反应,是你做出的无法改变的选择,是你说过的无法收回的话。)说明了后悔的定义。后文“Regret can increase our stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.”(后悔会增加我们的压力,对身体健康产生负面影响,扰乱我们免疫系统的平衡。)说明后悔带给身心的负面影响。所以空处应总结说明后悔不但是不愉快的,同时也是不健康的。选项B.“后悔不仅是不愉快的,而且是不健康的。”,后文论述了后悔带来的不健康的影响,符合题意,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path.”(一种是研究者称之为行动路径,另一种是不行动路径。)可知,空处应该总说有两种不同的方式。选项C.“后悔基本上有两种方式。”符合题意,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Research suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on.”(研究表明,与行动相关的后悔虽然令人痛苦,却能鼓励人们从错误中吸取教训,继续前进。)讲述了研究者对后悔的方式之一:与行动相关的后悔,进行了分析。根据本段第二句可知,后悔有两种方式,一种是行动路径,另一种是不行动路径,所以空处应该是对比第一种方式,讲述不行动路劲的后悔。选项D.“但与不行动相关的遗憾更难弥补。”,切题,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据前文“As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret. ”(和其他负面情绪一样,回避、否认或试图消除后悔是不起作用的。)所以空处应承接前文,讲述我们应该换另一种方式来看待问题。选项E.“换个角度看问题可能有助于减少遗憾。”,承接前文,切题,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).”(你可以通过练习自我同情来帮助释放这些后悔的感觉。)说明自我同情可以帮助释放后悔的感觉。所以空处应总结论述这样自我同情是可以带给自己好处的。选项G.“对自己表现出这种同情心可以帮助你接受并消除遗憾。”符合题意,故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.
It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.
But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”
Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to say?” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it?”
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.
That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”
Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”
I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

【答案】One possible version:
Finally I earned enough money and set out to buy Mary's mother a new vase. I shopped around for a vase that looked like the one Mary had broken. Eventually, f found one. To get it over with, I went straight to Mays “house to give her mother the new vase. The moment Mary saw the vase. she burst into tears again. “Mom, I have to tell you the truth. I broke the vase, not Michelle.” she confessed. “I asked her to take the blame for me.” To our surprise, instead of critizing, Mary's mother softly talked about the importance of being honest.
Mary and I looked at each other with relief. Mary stepped forward and gave me a big hug, whispering sorry to me “Everything is ok.” I comforted her with a big smile. Then Mary told us that she would do something to make things right. Later that day, Mary picked out some beautiful flowers for her mom's new vase and a pretty friendship bracelet or me and she paid for then herself with her allowance. We've been closer because we know what true friendship is.
