21、   As your teacher passes out the math test, your hands turn sweaty. Your heart begins to race. Glancing down at the page, you suddenly forget those operations on which you drilled only a few days earlier. What's the multiplication table? Oh, you know it — well you're pretty sure, right? Suddenly, you start to doubt a lot of things that you “know”.

If that sounds familiar, you might suffer from math anxiety. Or maybe not. Even researchers who study this condition note that it can be surprisingly hard to define math anxiety. It's also hard to identify precisely how many people suffer from it.

To diagnose math anxiety, researchers design questionnaires, asking things like: “How anxious would you feel about being given a set of division problems to solve on paper?” Those who score high on these surveys about stress over making numerical （数学的） calculations will be labeled math-anxious. The exact share that gets this diagnosis, however, will fluctuate, depending on where researchers choose to draw the line at what counts as high.

In general, people who panic over their math skills tend to do worse in math classes than people who don't mind numbers. But that's not always true. “Just because you're math-anxious, that doesn't always mean you're bad at math,” notes Rose Vukovic, an educational psychologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Math anxiety affects people of all ages. Its effects don't end at graduation. Throughout life, this type of stress can stand in the way of mastering skills or projects in a host of areas that rely on computations（计算）.

The good news is that the problem is manageable. Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., compares it to public speaking. Many people get anxious before giving a speech or performing. “You can respond to that positively and use that,” he says, “or  you can go the other way.” An issue is whether you can see that stress as a positive challenge to overcome.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A．By offering a definition.

B．By using study results.

C．By describing a possible situation.

D．By asking questions.

【2】What does the underlined word “fluctuate” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Vary.

B．Be denied.

C．Matter.

D．Be awarded.

【3】What does Rose Vukovic think of math anxiety?

A．It can disappear with graduation.

B．It can result in depression over time.

C．It won't cause people trouble in other areas.

D．It doesn't always lead to poor math grades.

【4】What does Ian Lyons suggest people with math anxiety do?

A．Do more math exercises.

B．Consult psychologists.

C．Face it confidently.

D．Give speeches to relieve it.

22、The term “seal” is often used to refer to both seals and sea lions, but there are several characteristics that set seals and sea lions apart.

Seals and sea lions are both in the order Carnivora and suborder Pinnipedia, thus they are called “pinnipeds.” Pinnipeds are mammals that are well-adapted for swimming. They usually have a streamlined barrel shape (桶形) and four flippers at the end of each limb (四肢). They also give birth to live young and nurse their young. Pinnipeds are protected by a thick layer of fat under their skin and fur to keep them warm in water. There are three families of pinnipeds: the Phocidae, the earless or true seals; the Otariidae, the eared seals, and the Odobenidae, the walruses.

Characteristics of Phocidae (Earless or True Seals)

Earless seals have no visible ear flaps, although they still have ears, which may be visible as a dark spot or small hole on the side of their head. 

“True” seals:

 Have no external ear flaps.

 Swim with their hind flippers. Their hind flippers always face backward and are furred.

 Have front flippers that are short, furry and thick in appearance.

 Can be found in both marine and freshwater environments.

Characteristics of Otariidae (Eared Seals, Including Fur Seals and Sea Lions)

One of the most noticeable features of eared seals is their ears, but they also move around differently than true seals.

Eared seals:

 Have external ear flaps.

 Are only found in marine environments. 

 Swim with their front flippers. Unlike earless seals, their hind flippers can turn forward, and they are able to walk, and even run, on their flippers. The “seals” you may see performing at marine parks are often sea lions.

 May gather in larger groups than true seals. Sea lions are much more vocal than true seals, and make a variety of loud, barking noises.

Characteristics of Walruses

Wondering about walruses, and how they differ from seals and sea lions? Walruses are pinnipeds, but they are in the family, Odobenidae. One obvious difference between walruses, seals and sea lions is that walruses are the only pinnipeds with tusks—a pair of long pointed teeth. These tusks are present in both males and females.

Other than tusks, walruses have some similarities to both seals and sea lions. Like true seals, walruses don’t have visible ear flaps. But, like eared seals, walruses can walk on their flippers by rotating their hind flippers under their body.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements about pinnipeds is true?

A．Pinnipeds are good swimmers.

B．Pinnipeds are afraid of cold weather.

C．Pinnipeds are of the Phocidae family.

D．Seals and sea lions are pinnipeds, while walruses are not.

【2】One way to distinguish a sea lion and a true seal is that ________.

A．the sea lion cannot play ball

B．the true seal cannot hear well

C．the sea lion doesn’t have ear flaps

D．the true seal can’t walk with hind flippers

【3】Which of the following picture best illustrates a walrus?

A．

B．

C．

D．

23、   How do you kill your time on your way to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we' re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.

Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel . Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The paintings catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in people's lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone's commute （上下班）and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.

“ What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day," Dina told My Modern Met. "My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”

【1】As for people's behaviour on the way to work, what does Paragraph 1 imply?

A．Most of us like to catch early buses.

B．Most of us need to go to work punctually.

C．Most of us tend to concentrate on our mobile phones.

D．Most of us feel frightened to make eye contact with others.

【2】What makes Dina different from others?

A．Sitting quietly to read her books.

B．Keeping chatting with others all the way.

C．Using phones to take photos of every scene attracting her.

D．Drawing people while travelling on buses and trains to work.

【3】What might be the Dina Alfasi's attitude towards watching people's little moments?

A．Sceptical.

B．Enjoyable.

C．Cautious.

D．Tolerant.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Little moments make Dina special.

B．Cell phone is used to take special portraits.

C．Dina takes portraits of others when commuting.

D．People go to work with different ways to kill time.

24、Fats are nutrients in food that the body uses to build cell membranes (细胞膜), nerve tissue, and hormones. 【1】. If fats eaten aren’t burned as energy or used as building blocks, they’re stored by the body in fat cells. This is the body’s way of thinking ahead: By saving fat for future use, it plans for times when food might be scarce (缺乏的).

【2】, but certain kinds of fat are good for us and are an important part of a healthy diet. Fat gives food flavor and texture, but it’s also high in calories, and eating too much fatty food can cause many health problems. For kids and teens, fast food, fried food, and snacks are a significant source of fat. 【3】.

Eating the right kind and amount of fat is an important part of a healthy diet. But many kids eat too much fat, which might lead to unwanted weight gain. 【4】.

Besides supplying fuel for the body, fats help the body absorb fat-soluble (脂溶性) vitamins. 【5】. They can also help people feel full, so they’re less likely to overeat. Fat is a great source of energy, but has twice the calories in the same amount of carbohydrates or protein. For example, 1 gram of fat provides 9 calories, whereas 1 gram of carbohydrates or protein provides 4 calories.

A．The body also uses fat as fuel

B．Too much fat can be unhealthy

C．Fat plays an important role in brain development

D．They also get fat from high-fat dairy products and high-fat meats

E．These vitamins can only be absorbed if there’s fat in a person’s diet

F．Restaurant and takeout meals tend to have more fat than home cooking

G．Overweight kids have greater risk of high blood pressure and other medical problems
