2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列训练题（3）及答案【河北省唐山一中2013月考】cpeople tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email . researchers from open university in britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this . the team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students , all strangers to each other , to solve a problem . they had to discuss this question : if only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster , who should they be ? the pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers . dr. johnson said , “they told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the internet as when they talked face to face . when the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other , this limited the personal side of the conversation.” generally the information was not extremely personal . it was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. but some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences .dr. johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves . and when they do this , they become more open , especially if there are no cameras. “if you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself . this is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. so emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said dr. johnson. however , this style of talking is not entirely new . “in the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to communicate . now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely .”dr. johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing , especially when they start work in a company . “if you dont know about it , you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to .”64the subject discussed in this passage is .ahow people open up when

kindness in people. i see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my cofffee, or help me to put on my coat. and i have discovered that it makes them happy.from my wheelchair experience, i see the best in people,but sometimes i was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness i see daily. they dont get to see this soft side of others. often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. but only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.last month, when i was driving home on a busy highway, i began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. people behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. at that moment, i decided to do something i had never done in twenty-four of driving i put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.no more angry shouts and no more horns!when i put on my flashlights, i was saying to the other drivers, “i have a problem here, i am weak and doing the best i can,” and everyone understood. several times, i saw drivers who wanted to pass. they couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. but instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.sometimes

interested in finding ways to improve both teaching and learning processes. sian beilock and susan leving, two psychologists at the university of chicago, are trying to learn about learning. in a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, beilock and levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: if a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. “if these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” levine told science news. 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 learnand teach. the subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. the new 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 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 receipt. 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 teachers 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 mathand all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with math anxiety. according to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, levine said.1. sian beilock and susan levine carried out the new research in order to _. a. know the effects of teaching on learning b. study students ways of learning mathc. prove women teachers are unfit

do? a. prepare two math achievement tests for the students. b. tell their feelings about math problems. c. answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy. d. compare the students scores after the math tests.4. what is the finding of the new study? a. no male students were affected by their teachers anxiety. b. almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys c. about 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls. d. girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.5. which of the following is true according to the text? a. 117 students and teachers took part in the new study. b. the researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study. c. beilock and levine are interested in teaching math. d. men teachers are better at teaching math than
