do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? for most, math can be difficult but new research suggests that it can also cause us physical pain. scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment. they began by finding out how much participants (参与者) fear math. those participants were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.according to their answers, participants were divided into groups. one group was made up of people who were very afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with this subject. both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. when a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown.using a brain-scan (扫描) machine, scientists noticed that whenever from group one saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond（反应）in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. but they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task.however, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group. “when you are really thinking about it (math problems), your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained ian lyons from university of chicago, us, leader of the study. “the more worried people were about the math, the more they activated brain regions that we know are often caught when people experience pain or detect a threat（威胁）.”more interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “this means that its not that math itself hurts, instead, the anticipation of math is painful.” lyons said. according to the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.57. what have scientists recently discovered about how people react to math?a. most people find it difficult to work out math problem.b. the fear of math can cause physical pain.c. they have found out just how much people fear math.d. they have found out what makes people fear math.58. the underlined word “anticipation” is closest in meaning to _.a. expectation b. understanding c. experience d. participation 59. which of the following statement about the experiment is true?a. when people are worried, more parts of their brains are activated.b. both groups responded the same in the experiments word tasks.c. people might get better results in math exams if they are less worried about it.d. when participants saw a yellow circle, they felt the same as they got their hands burned.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）shopping is popular with many people around the world. they seem to find new ways to buy things every day. they visit shopping centers, order things through the mail, or buy things on the internet. 60 for young people, one of the most popular ways to shop is to use a vending machine (自动售货机). these machines offer all kinds of things and you can find them everywhere. in the usa, there are vending machines which sell cds. 61 the strangest product on sale from a vending machine is in japan. just put your coins in the vending machine tokyo, press the button, and out comes a “kabutomushi”，that is, a black beetle. you keep it as a pet!japan now has “robosho”a shop with no shop assistants, only robots. a robot reads your credit card and then gives you what you what. 62 people are very surprised that the robots can serve them as well as shop assistants do.some shops in the uk are like social clubs for teenagers. many of them have a caf inside. the youth station has a large nightclub for teenagers under 18, with a dj playing music in a room that hangs the ceiling. sports town has a big screen, where you can see live sports from around the world. 63 a. and some robots can even talk.b. there are lots of shopping machines invented nowadays.c. you wont miss any exciting ball games even when you go shopping.d. peoples shopping habits are always changing.e. new cds are put in the machine every week.八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）do you know what american students have to do in their schools?
