1. What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago, according to the first paragraph?
根据第一段可知,芝加哥大学的这项研究的结果是怎么的?
A Girls comfortable with their own math skills are better than boys at math.
对自己的数学技能有信心的女生数学成绩要好于男生。
B Girls uncomfortable with their own math skills are not as good as boys at math.
对自己的数学技能没有信心的女生数学成绩没有男生好。
C Female teachers' math skills have influence over girl students' math skills.
女教师的数学技能已经影响了女学生的数学技能。
D Female teachers' confidence in their math skills is related to girl's math skills.
女教师对她们数学技能的信心和女生的数学技能有关。
【教材解析】D 该段告诉我们女教师的想法(what female teachers think)和女学生的学习(what female students learn)之间有很大的关联度,也就是说,女教师如果对自己的数学技能没有自信,她的女学生很可能相信男孩子会在数学方面超过女孩子。
【芒果备注】In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school(小学), the psychologists at the University of Chicagol Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable(不自然,不舒服,相当于uneasy,这里引申意为“缺乏信心”) with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to(更易……) believe that boys are better than girls at math.
2. What is implied in the third paragraph?
第三段暗示了什么?
A Math teachers, like math learners, do not like the subject due to its difficulty.
教数学的老师和学数学的学生一样,因为数学难所以不喜欢这一科目。
B A difficult subject like math may affect teachers' confidence in teaching the subject.
像数学这样难的科目可能会影响教师将其教好的信心。
C Teachers are more anxious teaching math than their students learning math.
教数学的老师要比学数学的学生更忧虑。
D Math is so difficult that no teachers like to teach it.
数学太难了,没老师愿意教。
【教材解析】B 第三段的大意是,数学对任何人来说都可能有难度(The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone),如同学生,教师也会觉得数学难学和难教,这就是研究者所言的焦虑。所以,可以推断,作者是要告诉我们,教师会因为数学这门学科的难度而对教授该课程不自信。其他选项都不是该段所要表达的内容。
【芒果备注】Just as(如同,正如) students find certain subjects to be difficult(注意此处find sb/sth to be sth这一句式), teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn -- and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word "anxiety" to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
