B．Boring.C．Relaxing. D．Tiring.A解析：推理判斷題。在最后一段中，作者對(duì)自己的實(shí)習(xí)工作進(jìn)行了總結(jié)：實(shí)習(xí)工作中雖然沒掙到錢，但是積累了經(jīng)驗(yàn)和知識(shí)，這對(duì)于自己的專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)是很有幫助的。故選A項(xiàng)。B(2019·江西名校聯(lián)盟檢測(cè))Severaldecadesago,educatorsintheUSAbegantocallattentiontoanationalproblem:moststudentsleaveAmericanschoolswithoutthemathematicalskillsneededforjobsorforhighereducation.Thiswasespeciallytrueforfemaleandminoritystudents.TheEducationalTestingServicereportedthat,inaninternationalsurvey,Americanteenagershadthelowestmathscores.Thissituationhasbeendefinedas“innumeracy”，ortheinabilitytograspthebasicideaofmathematics.Mathematicians,teachers,andscientistswerealarmedbythesefindings.Theylookedforthereasonsanddecidedthat,inadditiontopooreducation,therearemanypsychologicalblocks.Embarrassmentaboutnotknowingmathcanleadtofearintheclassroom.Fearcanleadtosilencebecausestudentsdonotwanttodrawattentiontotheirlackofknowledge.Asaresult,thosestudentsfallfurtherandfurtherbehind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not__always__been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.Matheducatorsdecidedtotrytochangethat.Mathreformisbeginningwiththeeducatorsthemselves.Teachersarenowbeingtrainedtorecognizeandtohelpstudentsworkthrough“mathanxiety”—theroadblockontheirwaytogainingcompetenceinmathematics.Inaddition,mathtextbooksarebeingupdatedtohelpstudentsunderstandthatmathisnotasortofforeignlanguageofnumbers.Mathisatoolthathelpsustoanalyzepatternsandstructures,andtodiscoverrelationships.Traditionalcomputingskillsofaddition,subtraction,multiplicationanddivisionarestillbeingtaught,ofcourse.However,thereisaddedemphasisonlogicalthinkingandcreativeproblemsolving,towhichtheremaybeseveralequallyvalidsolutions.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文講述了美國(guó)學(xué)生無法掌握數(shù)學(xué)基本概念的現(xiàn)象、原因及相應(yīng)的對(duì)策。5．Whatdoestheunderlinedsentenceprobablymean?A．Studentswithlowscoresfeartoasktheirteachersforhelp.B．Poorequipmentinclassroomslimitsteens’chancestolearn.C．Mathanxiety,hardlynoticed,isactuallyasilentcallforhelp.D．Poor-sightedstudentscan’tseeclearly,whichisasilentcallforhelp.C解析：句意理解題。根據(jù)上下文及畫線句前面的“Embarrassmentaboutnotknowingmathcanleadtofearintheclassroom.Fearcanleadtosilencebecausestudentsdonotwanttodrawattentiontotheirlackofknowledge.”可知，學(xué)生會(huì)因自己不懂某些數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)感到尷尬，而這又會(huì)使他們產(chǎn)生恐懼心理，恐懼可能導(dǎo)致沉默，因?yàn)閷W(xué)生不想讓人注意到自己知識(shí)匱乏，相應(yīng)地，老師也就會(huì)忽略學(xué)生這方面的不足，由此可知，C項(xiàng)最能傳達(dá)該畫線句的含義。6．WhichmayleadtoAmericanstudents’innumeracy?A．Themethodsofteaching.B．Thedifficultyofmathitself.C．Students’lackofinterestinmath.D．Schools’notattachingenoughvaluetoit.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的“inadditiontopooreducation”及第四段的內(nèi)容尤其是“Mathreformisbeginningwiththeeducatorsthemselves.Teachersarenowbeingtrainedtorecognizeandtohelpstudents...gainingcompetenceinmathematics.”可知，教學(xué)方法可能是美國(guó)學(xué)生不能掌握數(shù)學(xué)基本概念的原因。7．Whatmaybediscussedinthefollowingparagraph?A．WhattobetaughtinAmerica’srevisedmathprograms.B．HowtomakemathreformactuallybenefitAmericanstudents.C．Howtoimproveteens’logicalthinkingandproblem-solvingabilities.D．Whytraditionalcomputingskillsarenecessaryinmathematicseducation.C解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“thereisaddedemphasisonlogicalthinkingandcreativeproblemsolving,towhichtheremaybeseveralequallyvalidsolutions”可知，文章接下來可能會(huì)陳述有關(guān)怎樣提高學(xué)生的邏輯思維能力及創(chuàng)造性地解決問題的能力方面的內(nèi)容，故選C。8．Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?A．Mathematicskillsneededforhighereducation.B．ThefeaturesofAmerica’smathematicseducation.C．ImprovementsinmathematicseducationintheU．S.D．TheimportanceofmathematicseducationintheU．S.C解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文作者就美國(guó)學(xué)生無法掌握數(shù)學(xué)基本概念的現(xiàn)象、原因及相應(yīng)的對(duì)策進(jìn)行了陳述，故C項(xiàng)最能概括文章的主要內(nèi)容。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅱ)完形填空(2019·南昌模擬)IlivedinDallas,Texasnearlyallmylifewithmydad,momandyoungerbrother.Wewereraisedto__1__others,valueeducation,andgetallthatwecouldoutoflife.Myparentsalwayssay,“Work__2__andtheworldisyours.”Theyare__3__withoutahelpfulwordof__4__orabitofencouragementwhenlifegets__5__．Myparentsalways__6__metogotocollege.However,whenI__7__at16yearsoldthatI’drathergetmarriedtoaman__8__gotocollege,theyneverstoppedtellingmetheylovedmeandIcoulddoanythingIwantedto.Thankfully,theypersuadedme.Igraduatedfromhighschoolandcurrently__9__theUniversityofOklahomastudyingmedicine.Iwanttomaketheworlda__10__placetolivein.EverytimeIcallhometotellthemaboutagradereceivedinthechemistrylabor__11__classitisthatI’mworkinghardestonforthemoment,theytellmehow__12__ofmetheyare.Iknowtherearecollegekidsouttherethathavenooneto__13__hometowhentheygetan“A”onaprojectandIfeelincredibly__14__tohavemyparents.Theynever__15__lovingmeorbelievinginme.ParentsarethebestgiftthatGodgivesme.__16__theirconstantloveandencouragement,Iwouldn’tbelieveIcan__17__theworld.Myparents__18__metoalwaysfightforwhatI__19__in.SoI’mworkingtowardsomethingreallygreatandcanonlyhopeI__20__tomakethemproud.【解題導(dǎo)語】爸爸、媽媽、弟弟和“我”住在達(dá)拉斯，父母教育我們要尊重別人、重視教育，他們的愛和鼓勵(lì)對(duì)“我”意義重大。1．A.inspire
