Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 1 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer 2 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of 3 the lines? Fear of being judged 4 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使现出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won"t be able to do the 5 or the fear that it"s too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 6 . For the most part, math anxiety is the 7 about doing the math right, our minds draw a 8 and we think we"ll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 9 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems from 10 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 11 poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 12 . Many of the students I"ve encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 13 , the math is quickly forgotten and 14 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions(小部分). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒数) and inverses. In other words, "It"s not yours to reason why, just invert(反转) and multiply"(乘). Well, you memorized the rule and it 15 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If 16 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures -- 17 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 18 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students 19 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important 20 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

答案
解析
1. B 数学焦虑和舞台怯场是相似的(. similar),而非不同(different),距离远(far),和熟悉(familiar)。
2. D 前文提过舞台怯场,当然这儿先介绍什么事舞台怯场(stage-fright),而不是演讲(speech),表演(performance),和威胁(threatens)。
3. C 担心忘了(forgetting)台词,而不是理解(understanding),记忆(memorizing),阅读(reading)台词。
4. A 担心受到恶(就是糟糕:poorly)评,而不是疯狂地(crazily),好地(well),公共地(publicly)受到评价。
5. B做不出数学(math)题,而非汉语(Chinese)题,英语(English)题,和物理(physics)题。
6. D 这种害怕起因于缺乏自信(confidence),而非愿望(wish),良知(conscience),和毅力(determination)。
7. A 数学焦虑就是害怕(fear)做数学,远非高兴(joy),乐趣(pleasure),和怀疑(doubt)。
8. C 我们的大脑一片空白(blank),失败(failure),选择(choice),死亡(. death)明显不能使语境通畅。
9. B 我们越是焦虑,大脑一片空白的几率就越大(greater),而不是越远(further),越少(less),越小(smaller)。
10. A 通常数学焦虑来自做数学题的不愉快的(unpleasant)经历,不公平(unfair),令人高兴(pleasant),成功(successful),明显不行。
11. D 数学焦虑常常是因为(due to)糟糕的教学和糟糕经历。应该是介词短语而不是连词,因为后面是名词故用due to 而不是because,thanks to 通常表示由于好的原因,result in的意思是导致,而非因为。
12. B 这明显或导致数学焦虑(anxiety),前文都是用这个词,而非害怕(fear),失败(failure),和误解(misunderstanding)。
13. C 当一个人不经理解(understanding)而去记忆过程、规则、和程序时,这些数学内容很快就会忘掉,根据常理,理解而记忆的内容不易遗忘,而不是忘记(forgetting),使用(use),和知识(knowledge)。
14. A 这样一来,害怕(panic)就会进来。前文就是害怕,绝非兴奋(excitement),失望(disappointment),和鼓励(encouragement)。
15. B 是的你记住了,这就起作用(works)了,而不是打开了(opens),开始了(starts),和跑了(runs)。
16. C 如果这不(not)起作用的话,你只是记住了过程,而绝不是是这样(so),可能(possible),和任何(any),这些都不适合这儿的语言环境和作者的思路。
17. D 你要是忘了一点怎么办(what if:如果……会……),这儿不是哪儿(where),为什么(why),何时(when),what if……是固定句式。
18. A 好的记忆力(memory)是有帮助的,方法(method),大脑(brain),身体(body)显得与前面的不照应。
19. B 一旦学生认识到(realize)他能学数学,整个担心焦虑都会被克服,远非装填(fill),证实(confirm),和辨认出(recognize)。
20.D 老师和家长在确保学生理解数学方面有重要作用(role),而非任务(task),目标(aim),和约定(appointment)。

举一反三
It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ (阵亡) next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”

You’re probably most familiar with college dictionaries, often called abridged dictionaries. Although abridged means “shortened”, these dictionaries contain more than 150.000 entries and provide detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students and general users. College dictionaries also contain separate lists of abbreviations. Biographical and geographical names, foreign words and phrases. And tables of measures. Webster’s Ⅱ New Riverside University Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are college dictionaries.
小题2:
unabridged dictionaries contain as many as 500,000 entries and provide detailed definitions and extensive word histories (etymologies). These dictionaries, possibly in several volumes and mostly found in libraries, are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries. Unabridged dictionaries include the Oxford English Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary of the English Language.
小题3:
A dictionary entry has many elements: multiple definitions, syllabication, preferred spelling and pronunciation (some word have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation), and part-of-speech labels. Some entries also include plurals and capitalized forms. Synonyms, antonyms, and derivatives. Americanisms and etymologies may be provide along with usage notes, cross-references, and idioms.
小题4:
If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer, you can obtain CD-ROM versions of many major dictionaries. In addition, you can access numerous dictionaries, such as WWWebster’s Dictionary, on the Internet. Online dictionaries allow you to enter a search word (you even get help with spelling ) to see a definition, and sometimes even an illustration. Online dictionaries also offer additional features, such as word games. Language tips, and amusing facts about words. Some online dictionary services allow you to access numerous dictionaries, both general and specialized, in on search.
小题5:
Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about a certain field. For example there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law, computer technology, and medicine. In addition, there are dictionaries of synonyms, clichés, slang, and even regional expressions. Such as the Dictionary of American Regional English(DARE). There are also dictionaries of foreign languages, famous people’s names, literary characters’ names and place names.
