21、Some people get worried when faced with simple math problems. And they may rely more heavily on certain brain circuits than people who do not experience such math anxiety. That’s the finding of a new study. Using a different mental approach might help explain why people with math anxiety struggle more with complex problems.

To figure out what was going on, researchers placed adults in a brain-scanning device. Called a functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging machine, it measures blood flow in the brain. This lets researchers see which brain regions are active at a particular point in time. For the new study, the study recruited (招募) people with and without math anxiety. All of the adults were asked to answer whether simple math problems were correct or not. Both groups had similar response time. Each group also was equally accurate. The brain scans, however, turned up some differences.

In people who weren’t anxious about math, there was less activity in one brain region. It is called the frontoparietal (额顶的), attention network. It is involved in working memory and the solving of problems.

People who relied on this circuit less were probably getting ahead by automating simple math, said Hyesang Chang. She’s a cognitive neuroscientist who works at the University of Chicago in Illinois. She reported her team’s findings on March 25 here at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society.

People who get anxious over math showed more varied brain activity overall. That led Chang to consider that these people might be handling math problems in a different way. Their brains might be using a variety of approaches—and in ways that use more brain resources. This general approach works fine for simple math, she said. But the brains of those with math anxiety might get maxed out when the math is more challenging.

【1】According to the text, people who experience math anxiety may ________.

A. have better working memory

B. solve math problems inaccurately

C. suffer more injuries in face of complex problems

D. have more activity in the frontoparietal attention network

【2】Researchers did the study with the help of ________.

A. some experts on network

B. the University of Chicago

C. some people doing well in math

D. a magnetic resonance imaging machine

【3】What does Hyesang Chang agree with?

A. There is no certain way to change the level of math anxiety.

B. Using more brain resources can help solve more challenging math problems.

C. People with math anxiety use more brain resources to handle math problems.

D. People relying on the frontoparietal attention network less have better math grades.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A. How to learn math better

B. How does people’s brain react to math problems?

C. What researchers find about people’s brain

D. What should people do to avoid math anxiety?

22、Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are 6 cultural differences between China and the USA to help promoting mutual understanding.

Money

As is well known, the Chinese are conservative when they are planning to spend money, but far fewer American families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts (对等的人)..

Privacy

Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as American do. They talk about topic such as ages, income or marital (婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.

Family

In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

Friends

Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Education

Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith, which they think are of great value in their life.

________

Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets owed to the greater whole, while in American individual achievements are celebrated.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Americans lay more stress on faith and good personality.

B．Americans think much of the individual and the community.

C．Americans are mean with money to spend while Chinese are not.

D．Americans define friendship almost the same.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the last difference?

A．Achievements

B．Individual

C．Team VS Individual

D．Teamwork

【3】What is the purpose of writing the passage?

A．To promote friendship between China and the USA.

B．To help Chinese live well in the USA.

C．To have a complete understanding of the USA.

D．To introduce the cultural differences between China and the USA

23、Geoffrey Holt was a “nobody” in the public eye. He worked in his eighties as a caretaker at a mobile home park in Hinsdale, New Hampshire.

Holt collected hundreds of model cars and train sets that filled his rooms. He also collected books about history, with Henry Ford and World War II among his favorite topics. Holt had an extensive record collection too, including Handel and Mozart. Very often, he’d find a quiet place and study financial publications.

After retiring, Holt did various jobs for others. Despite having taught driver’s education course to high schoolers, he’d given up driving a car. He opted for a bicycle instead and finally the mower（除草机）. His mobile home in the park was mostly empty of furniture—no TV and no computer, either. The legs of the bed went through the floor.

But Holt did have two things. He had a big secret and an even bigger heart. He passed away in early 2023. In a move that surprised the tiny town of 4,200 people, he left all his worldly goods to the people of Hinsdale.

With his casual lifestyle, no one would have guessed that Holt had a wealth worth up to $3.8million! Holt, who earlier in life had worked as a production manager at a grain factory that closed down in nearby Brattleboro, Vermont, spent his money on communications, hoping to earn more out of it. In the end, it was doing better than he’d ever expected.

Holt grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Lee Holt, was a professor who taught English and world literature in a college. His mother, Margaret Holt, was an artist. Holt went to boarding schools and attended the former Marlboro College in Vermont, where students had self-designed degree plans. He graduated in 1963 and earned a master’s degree from the college where his father taught in 1968.

        Undoubtedly, Holt will be remembered forever.

【1】What can we learn about Holt?

A．He had a wide range of interests.

B．He had always longed to be a driver.

C．He possessed a mobile home park.

D．He was often out of job while young.

【2】How did Holt accumulate his wealth?

A．By gaining his parents’ help.

B．By doing business in a field.

C．By setting up a grain factory.

D．By working hard after retiring.

【3】What does the last but one paragraph focus on about Holt?

A．His father’s education concept.

B．His educational experiences.

C．His parents’ love for him.

D．His early work dreams.

【4】Which best describes Holt?

A．Simple but other-centered.

B．Serious but straightforward.

C．Daring and demanding.

D．Easygoing and ambitious.

24、We’ve heard people say that we shouldn’t worry too much about the future. But this saying doesn’t hold true in the technological world. Here, you always need to think about the future, or else you won’t have the chance to be in the digital age. There are so many new inventions that come up daily, which help in making our lives better and easier.

The iPod we use daily was once a far-fetched thought of Mr. Jobs, which has become a reality today. Similarly, when television was launched, we thought nothing could beat this invention. Then came cable television, and now it’s the age of digital television. Similarly, until a few years ago, 3D was limited to movies, but today, we have 3D blueprints, 3D graphics, and 3D television sets as well. All these inventions were just a prediction by their inventors, but they later, went on to become a part of our lives. Similar predictions can be made for the future.

For example, how about having human-like robots that understand our instructions by simply speaking to them? We can talk with these robots regularly and simply instruct them to perform a particular task. If you want tea, you can simply require your robot to make it for you. These robots can be useful in industrial fields as well. For example, you can simply ask the robot to switch on the manufacturing line.

If waste keeps increasing, the future will see many problems related to pollution. So what about having a waste recycling machine that produces notebooks? Yes, I’m not talking about the regular recycling machines that give us raw materials we need to put to effective use. If we build recycling machines that produce a particular product out of the waste, it’ll do much help to the environment as well.

This list can go on and on. Our imagination has no limits and so does technology. Who knows? Maybe one of these ideas may become a reality in the near future!

【1】What should we do according to the author?

A．Take the future less seriously.

B．Use 3D technology more widely.

C．Base new inventions on experience.

D．Keep making predictions for the future.

【2】What can so called human-like robots do according to the text?

A．They can talk to themselves.

B．They can understand human words.

C．They can offer the users instructions.

D．They can invent something for humans.

【3】What does the author think of the waste recycling machine?

A．It is achievable.

B．It is profitable.

C．It is affordable.

D．It is impractical.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The far future of technology.

B．Ways of making predictions.

C．Effects of predictions on inventions.

D．The significance of human imagination.
