12、h from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults 3/13 attitudes about math for childrens math success.For example,a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their childrens math achievement.The new findings demonstrate that st
13、ructured,positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents uneasiness about math and childrens low math achievement.“Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem,with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,”sa
14、id Beilock,professor in Psychology and author of Choke,a book about stress and performance.“These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home,which affects how competent their children are in math.Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math,and
15、 offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort,high-impact way.”Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents.Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app,with which parents and their children read stories and answer
16、 questions involving math,including topics like counting,shapes and problem-solving.A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead.Childrens math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the

22、s life and soul.The house,and our lives in it,would not have been the same without books.The force of the statement comes home to me as I see what happens when shelves are emptied.The rooms suddenly look uncomfortably bare.I always rather took it for granted that books furnished a room.The only room
23、s in our house without books were the dining-room and the bathrooms.Otherwise there were books everywhere:in all the bedrooms,in the drawing-room and in the piano room which became my parents comfortable winter study.I couldnt help feeling that books were rather like people:some more formal and bori
24、ng,others more entertaining;some simply for show,others with unpromising outsides but rich interiors.They did more,in fact,than furnish a room;they were companions who could offer insights,good advice.Now the books are being contributed(not all,to be sure,but very many),and I fear for their future,a

32、rinkles,under-eye bags and areas of dry skin.When applied to the face or body,the thin,transparent layer sticks to the skin and supports the tissue,making it look and behave like younger skin,its producers claim.“What weve been able to do is create a cream that you can put on the skin,and then when
33、its on the skin it can actually form,essentially,an elastic second skin,”said Bob Langer,who led the research.Tests in the lab found that the polymer film(高分子膜),which is only 70 thousandths of a millimeter thick,reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags,and helped keep moisture(水分)in are

35、you can wear for a whole day or longer,depending on the physical forces that get applied to the area where it is worn,said Daniel Anderson,who helped develop the product at MIT.“You cant tell youre wearing it.”While normal cosmetics can mask imperfections on the skin,the new coating changes the way

40、 and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis.The higher visibility(能见度)of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis,leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho.To test whether there
41、was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had,the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore.The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the economic e
42、ffect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow.The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例)of one yellow to three blue taxis.If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis,76.6 fewer accidents will occur per month o
43、r 917 fewer accidents per year.Assuming an average repair cost of$1,000 per car and a downtime of six days,8/13 the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of$2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实)the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other typ
44、es of public transport,such as school buses.For example,we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses.Besides,were also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the a
45、ccident rates of vehicles that are of different colors.”Explained Prof Ho.32.Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?A.Because yellow can be seen more easily.B.Because yellow signals a warning of danger.C.Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.D.Because people act more quickly
46、 in yellow surroundings.33.Whats Prof Hos study based on?A.Physical risks taxi passengers experience.B.The economic effect of changing taxi color.C.Data from Singapores largest taxi company.D.Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.34.What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?A.Schoo
47、l buses should be painted yellow.B.Their findings are worth popularizing.C.Their study will be furthered.D.Yellow should be widely used in public transport.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.Caution:yellow taxis ahead B.Safer to ride in yellow taxisC.Why are yellow taxis preferred?D.How ca

88、我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性,从而选择正确的答案。如第 2、3、4 小题主要根据空格前后两句而得出的。(3)看选项,找出与空前空后句中心词同义,近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接,先易后难,各个突破。此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。正确选项的特点:复现,包括同义反复,反义反复(,如第 4 和第 5 小题都有同一个词的复现)。(4)解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词,连词等。如表示转折关系的 but,though,however 等。完形【答案】41.B 42.A 43.C 44.D
