题干:
As a child，Shade Ajayi worked in her aunt’s shop instead of attending school.She now runs her own business making and selling purses and bags.But she believes her inability to read or write is holding her back.Until recently，Ajayi had never gone to school.Now 50，the businesswoman is learning to read and write alongside students nearly 40 years younger than her.
Ajayi attends a school in Ilorin，in Nigera’s western Kwara state.She wears the same uniform，or school clothing，as hundreds of girls at the school.“I’m not ashamed(惭愧的) that I wear a uniform，” she said.
Ajayi signed up to attend school last year，but the school closed.Schools reopened in January and Ajayi finally got her chance.She sits in a class with students aged 11 to 13 and raises her hand to answer questions.Ajayi’s teacher，Nasrat Busari，said she did not appear worried about the age difference with other students.She has been coping well with them：playing together，talking together and discussing things together.
Ajayi’s daughter，Shola Adeboye，said at first，she was embarrassed that her mother attended school alongside children.But later，she supported her mother’s efforts.“She has always wanted to be educated but she couldn’t until now，” Adeboye said.
Ajayi still makes bags and purses after finishing classes.A helper serves her customers during school hours.She plans to continue her education for four more years，saying it will help her business.“People around me can read and write and they are succeeding in their businesses，” said Ajayi.And she does not seem to care what others may say about her.Ajayi said，“It’s my duty not to pay attention to what they’re saying.”

题干:
Math is a necessary skill that people use throughout their lives.Unfortunately，many children and adults feel stressed and anxious when they have to do math.They may be experiencing what is called “math anxiety(焦虑)”．Because of this，many people believe that they are bad at math and don’t like math.
A recent research has shown that some children as young as 6 years old may feel anxious about math.A team of researchers asked 154 children in grades 1 and 2 questions like “How do you feel when taking a big test in your math class？” The children expressed how nervous they felt by pointing to a position on a scale(刻度)，where there were different faces from a very nervous face on the left to a calm face on the right.After answering these questions，the children took a math test.These researchers found that almost half of the children who took part in the study said that they were at least somewhat nervous about doing math.Also，children with higher math anxiety got worse scores on the math test.
Scientists have also found that math anxiety develops in children who experience certain kinds of social situations that affect their thoughts or feelings.This means that the child’s emotions，opinions，or behaviors are affected by things that other people say or do.For example，teachers with high math anxiety were more likely to have students with poorer math achievements at the end of the school year.
Good news is that researchers have found tools to help people with math anxiety.These tools are called interventions(干预)．For example，researchers did an intervention where they asked children with math anxiety to write about their math-related worries.Then they found that children’s math test scores improved.Therefore，it is advised to talk to classmates and teachers about math anxiety.This is the first step toward helping to reduce the possibly harmful effects of math anxiety.
What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 1?
解析:
代词指代题。根据画线词前文“They may be experiencing what is called ‘math anxiety(焦虑)’．”可知，很多人正经历“数学焦虑”，这让他们认为自己数学不好。“this”指代前文提及的“math anxiety”。故选D。
How did the researchers measure kids’ math anxiety?
解析:
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“A team of researchers asked 154 children in grades 1 and 2 questions like ‘How do you feel when taking a big test in your math class？’”以及“After answering these questions，the children took a math test.”可知，研究者团队通过向孩子们提问问题以及记录他们的数学考试情况来了解孩子们的数学焦虑。故选C。
What can be learned from paragraph 3?
解析:
推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，孩子的情绪、观点或行为会受到其他人所说或所做的事情的影响，有高度数学焦虑的老师更可能使得学生在学年末取得较差的数学成绩。因此推断当一个人有数学焦虑时，他有可能也会影响到别人。故选B。
What is suggested for students with math anxiety?
解析:
细节理解题。根据末段最后两句“Therefore，it is advised to talk to classmates and teachers about math anxiety.This is the first step toward helping to reduce the possibly harmful effects of math anxiety.”可知，谈论数学焦虑是缓解它的办法。故选A。
题干:
Change is with us from the day we are born and change is all around us every day. 1 This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way.So，what can we young people do in face of some changes?
We young people aren’t always ready to deal with changes.That’s because our young brains are still growing.The back part of our brain is all about survival and keeping us alive.The middle of our brain controls our emotions. 2
Our brain can react to situations in different ways，depending on how we deal with changes or stress.When the brain thinks the body may be in danger，we’ll have the fight or flight response(反应)． 3 The heart then sends blood quickly to the different body parts.It prepares the body to fight，flee or freeze.
There are times when we young people feel stressed，when changes get hard to manage，or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts. 4 That may be a parent or carer，grandparent，aunt or uncle，teacher，neighbor or even an older brother or sister.Change can sometimes be hard or make you worry，but you don’t have to do it alone.
5 By meeting changes and trying new things，we’ll begin to discover what we really love.As we learn more about ourselves，we’ll make better decisions about our life and future.This can help us discover our path in life.
解析:
下文“This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way.”说明的是这种差异指的是面对变化，不同的人有不同的反应，因此D项“面对变化时，有人感觉很轻松，而另外一些人则很有压力”符合语境，故选D。

上文“The back part of our brain...The middle of our brain...”提到大脑的后部和中部，空格处与之为并列关系，应提到大脑的前部，因此C项“我们大脑的前部仍在发育”符合语境，故选C。
解析:
上文“When the brain thinks the body may be in danger，we’ll have the fight or flight response(反应). ”以及下文“The heart then sends blood quickly to the different body parts.”说明那种反应会让心跳加速，然后心脏就会快速地把血液输送到身体各个部位，B项中的“That response”是关键词，因此B项“那种反应使心跳加快”符合语境，故选B。
解析:
上文“There are times when we young people feel stressed，when changes get hard to manage，or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts.”和下文“That may be a parent or carer...don’t have to do it alone.”说明年轻人可以寻求他人的帮助，因此G项“在这些情况下，向我们信任的成年人寻求帮助是可以的”符合语境，故选G。
解析:
下文“By meeting changes...This can help us discover our path in life.”说明这一段说的是变化有利于我们的成长，因此A项“变化是我们成长的机会”可以作为本段的主旨句，故选A。
