5.Gallup used to conduct a poll(投票) that asked students to name the school subject that they considered to be the most difficult.Not(51)A,mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart.So what is it about math that makes it difficult?
Dictionary.com defines the word"difficult"as"not easily or readily done; requiring much(52)B or planning to be performed successfully."This definition gets to the point of the problem when it comes to math.What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and persistence.For many students,math is not something that comes(53)C.It takes effort.It is a subject that sometimes requires students to devote lots and lots of time and(54)D.
This means,for many,the problem has little to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power.And since students don't make their own timelines,they can (55)B the time as the teacher moves on to the next topic.
In fact,there is also an element of brain style in the big picture,according to many scientists.They believe that people are born with (56)Cmath understanding skills.Logical,left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in sequential bits,while artistic,intuitive,right-brainers are more(57)B.They take in a lot of information at one time and allow time to let it"sink in".so left-brain students may grasp concepts(58)A while right-brain students don't.To the right brain student,time loss can make them feel confused and behind.Unfortunately in busy classrooms with too many students,students are mot always (59)C enough time.We have to move on,ready or not.
Math know-how is also cumulative(積累),which means it works much like a pile of building blocks.You have to gain enough(60)D in one area before you can effectively go on to"build upon"another area.Our first mathematical building blocks are established in primary school,when we learn (61)B for addition and multiplication,and those first concepts become our(62)C.These mathematical concepts or knowledge has to sink in and become(63)C before students can move on to challenge the next stage of new concepts.However,teachers don't have time to ensure that every single student understands every single concept.So some students move to the next level with really shaky knowledge system.(64)D,as they climb the ladder,they may meet with more and more difficulties and might (65)C complete failure at some point.

分析 蓋洛普曾進行的一項民意調(diào)查結(jié)果表明:學(xué)生們普遍認為數(shù)學(xué)是最難的學(xué)科.
本文作者主要是根據(jù)這一調(diào)查結(jié)果通過以下幾個方面分析了其產(chǎn)生的原因即:為什么學(xué)生們認為數(shù)學(xué)是最難的學(xué)科?首先,作者認為學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)需要有耐心并且有毅力,有時還需要花費大量的時間與精力,而許多學(xué)生卻做不到的;其次,許多科學(xué)家認為,這與大腦的思維模式有關(guān).他們認為人生來就有數(shù)學(xué)理解能力,左腦思考者通常具有邏輯性,他們傾向于以連貫的思維方式理解問題;右腦思考者傾向于憑直覺并且講求藝術(shù)性,習(xí)慣從整體上全面地理解問題,因此這往往需要花費很多的時間,于是便造成了右腦思考者在學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)上的困惑與落后;最后,作者提到數(shù)學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)也是一個積累的過程,需要打好基礎(chǔ),熟練掌握學(xué)過的知識,但是在學(xué)生眾多而且學(xué)習(xí)比較緊張的課堂上,老師們不可能保證每一個學(xué)生們都能牢固掌握所學(xué)知識,這就使得有些學(xué)生的知識體系不夠完善,也是造成學(xué)生們感覺數(shù)學(xué)難的原因.

解答 答案:51-55  ABCDB  56-60 CBACD     61-65  BCCDC
51.A   副詞詞義辨析   根據(jù)前后句可知,該句表達的意思是:在民意調(diào)查中讓學(xué)生們說出他們認為最難的科目,數(shù)學(xué)出現(xiàn)在了調(diào)查難度表的榜首,這是不足為奇的;故選A
52.B   名詞詞義辨析   前一句對difficult的定義進行來分析,強調(diào)的是做某事不容易;因此需要付出努力才能完成;labor:勞動,努力,工作;故選B
53.C   副詞詞義辨析   前一句講了學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的難點在于它需要耐心與毅力,因此這里的意思應(yīng)是:對于很多學(xué)生來說,數(shù)學(xué)并不是自動生成的;regularly:定期地,有規(guī)律地;automatically:自動地,無意識地;故選C
54.D   名詞詞義辨析   根據(jù)上文可知,學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)需要努力,因此有時要付出大量的時間與精力;故選D
55.B   動詞短語辨析   根據(jù)前一句可知,由于學(xué)生沒有合理地制定學(xué)習(xí)時間表,因此當老師轉(zhuǎn)入下一個課題時,他們就沒時間復(fù)習(xí)了;A.make up for 補償,彌補; B.run out of 用完,耗盡;C.take advantage of利用; D.a(chǎn)dd up to 總計,累計;故選B
56.C   形容詞詞義辨析  根據(jù)下文科學(xué)家對左腦以及右腦思考者習(xí)慣的分析可知,他們認為對于數(shù)學(xué)人們生來就有著不同的理解能力;故選C
57.B   形容詞詞義辨析  根據(jù)上文提到的左腦思考者通常具有邏輯性,他們傾向于以連貫的思維方式理解問題;此處對應(yīng)的右腦思考者傾向于憑直覺并且講求藝術(shù),則應(yīng)是全面地理解問題;global 全面的,整體的;specific 具體的,明確的;故選B
58.A   副詞詞義辨析   結(jié)合上下文可知,由于右腦思考者一次性吸入了大量的信息,因此需要很多的時間來領(lǐng)會,所以掌握概念時會不如左腦思考者快;故選A
59.C   動詞短語辨析  根據(jù)前后句可知,在學(xué)生眾多而且學(xué)習(xí)比較緊張的課堂上,學(xué)生們不可能總是很幸運會有太多的時間來鞏固復(fù)習(xí),無論他們是否已準備好,都將繼續(xù)往下學(xué);A.reminded about 提醒; B.exposed to 接觸到;  C.blessed with 幸運有; D.a(chǎn)ccused of 指責,被指控;故選C
60.D   名詞詞義辨析  根據(jù)上一句將數(shù)學(xué)知識的作用比作是一堆積木,可知,此處指的是你必須在一個區(qū)域中獲得足夠多的積木,才能有效地去"建立"另一個領(lǐng)域;故選D
61.B   名詞詞義辨析   根據(jù)前一句可知,此處表達的是小學(xué)時學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)基礎(chǔ)知識,即加法與乘法規(guī)則;故選B
62.C   名詞詞義辨析   此處是承接了前一句,指最早學(xué)的加法與乘法等概念變成了我們的基礎(chǔ);故選C
63.C   形容詞詞義辨析  根據(jù)上文可知,此處是針對前面的分析下的結(jié)論,and之前的sink in 表達的意思應(yīng)與其后的空白處一致即:這些數(shù)學(xué)概念或知識必須被領(lǐng)會并且被牢固掌握; B.a(chǎn)ccessible 易接近的,可理解的;C.firm 牢固的,堅定的;D.superior 較多的,上等的;故選C
64.D   介詞短語辨析  由于上文認為分析了學(xué)生們認為數(shù)學(xué)難學(xué)的原因,而下文講到的是爬梯子,因此此處是在舉例說明;故選D
65.C   動詞詞義辨析  根據(jù)上文可知,此處是舉例說明沒有學(xué)好數(shù)學(xué)的原因即:當他們往上爬梯子的時候,他們可能會遇到越來越多的困難,在某個地方可能會遭受徹底的失;這里指遭受失;故選C

點評 做本題時,首先應(yīng)快速通讀全文,把握文章的大意;其次要在理解的基礎(chǔ)上,結(jié)合上下文的語意提示,選出正確的答案;最后完形填空題的選項設(shè)置中通常包括名詞,動詞,形容詞,副詞等的詞義辨析,因此除了需要根據(jù)語意進行選擇外,還應(yīng)注意區(qū)分詞義的不同;所以平時在增加閱讀量的同時,還應(yīng)注意積累詞匯量并熟練掌握它們之間的不同用法.
