37、nciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. 以及后文 except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well可知，Chris发Id比较困难，这对于英语不是母语的学习 者来说都是一个困难，总体来说Chris做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，Id发音不准，因此有些结 巴，停顿得不准，应选A。.A 不艮据倒数第二段 Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in publi

38、c. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves以及最后一段“boasting about yourself, and your best qualities/7 Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.z，可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲，还要让孩子 学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很困难，故可知，Whaley老 师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的

40、助学生树立自己的信心，故可 以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。humorous幽默的，ambitious有雄心壮志的；caring关心 的；demanding要求高的。应选C。（B）.Ao此题题干意为:第一段中的画线单词“debunked是什么意思?根据第一段第一句可知, 女性在科学、技术、工程和数学职业中的低比例，往往归因于男性被认为更擅长这些领域需要的 思考方式。文章第一段最后一句说明“年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网状系统来解决 数学问题。由此推断出前后观点不一致，所以，研究结果驳斥了前面的观点。故A选项（证明 是错误的）正确。B.支持;C.证实;D.无视。.B此题题干意为:第二段主

41、要关注的是什么？第二段中提到，在他们的研究中，研究小组选 择了 104名年龄在3到10岁之间的儿童，按照几乎相同的性别分组。科学家们使用功能性核磁共 振成像来观察他们做数学任务时的大脑活动。由此可知第二段讲述了研究对象、观察的方法、 研究的内容等，所以第二段关注了研究的过程。故B选项正确。A.研究的目的;C.研究的参与者;D. 研究的发现。.C 此题题干意为:什么导致了 STEM职业中女性的缺乏?根据文章最后一段可知,Cantion 认为这可能根植于社会和文化习俗中。之前的研究已经说明，父母倾向于花更多的时间和小男孩 一起玩能激发他们空间认知能力的游戏，比方（玩）涉及学习数字技能、形状和解决谜

42、题的玩具。 研究还发现，教育工作者在数学课上花更多的时间和男孩在一起。由此可知，传统的偏见导致了 STEM职业中缺少女性。故C选项正确。A.大脑容量;B.性别差异;D.家庭背景。.C 此题题干意为:文章适宜的标题是什么？根据文章第一段中的young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems 可知，这篇文章适宜的题 目是 女孩和男孩在数学方面同样有天赋，故C选项正确。（A）D D选项中的“also a skill”与上文中的“the work-related sk

43、ill”是对应词,应选D。B设空处后解释了什么是更好的阅读者，而B项的问题与之对应，应选B。A 设空处前句中的“was previously believed”与设空处后句中的“now believe”构成了一 种比照，所以A项“近来的研究说明并不是这么一回事承上启下，应选A。E由设空处前面的阅读速度推算出书本或文件的每页需要花费12分钟才能阅读完， 应选E。G 最后一段讲述的是speed reading（快速阅读）的两个好处，G项表述了快速阅读的另一 个好处，应选G。（B）C 根据上文可知，在23个国家和地区进行调查,且与下文中的“their countries and regions相照应

44、，因此C项（来自23个国家和地区的大约12,500名受访者参与了此项调查。） 承上启下，符合语境。B 根据上文可知，调查结果显示排名前三的国家和地区都是亚洲国家和地区，设空处 是对上文的总结，因此B项（明显看出，榜单排名前几位都是亚洲国家和地区。）承接上文。D根据上下文可知，此次疫情是前所未有的，公众信心因此受挫，说明这是一场没有 预料到的危机，因此D项（政府仍在经受一场没有预料到的危机。）承上启下。D选项中的“did not expect”与设空处上句中的“unexpected”相照应。F根据上文可知，就企业对疫情的应对而言，只有中国和越南的民众给本国企业打的 分数超过了 50分。下文与此情况形成比照，因此F项（与此同时，法国（10分）和日本（6分）的受 访者认为本国的企业应对最差。）承接上文。A 根据下文可知，大多数的中国受访者认为疫情过后自己的国家会变得更强大，而有 同样想法的美国人不到一半。由此可判断，A项（报告还说明主要经济体应对危机的能力存在差 异。）引出下文。（A）.D 句意:他的妻子九年前患了癌症，医生认为她只能活五年时间了。妻子患癌症，医生认为（think）她只能活五年。应选D项。
