When it comes to learning English，I first recommend that you should have a strategy and work out a flexible plan.But don’t ignore the approach to the problem，which is suitable for you when you are in trouble.Your partner may memorise chunks effectively at night while you are sharp in the morning.As a result，you had better attempt to promote your vocabulary and brush up on unfamiliar words the moment you get up.Moreover，you should reflect on what you have learned periodically.
At the heart of language learning lies consistent practice.Assume you enjoy reading; try picking up a classic novel or articles about dinosaurs，geometry，or even helicopters—anything that interests you.This way，you expose yourself to more English input，helping you acquire new words in context.
In short，take it easy.As long as you work hard，you will end up with a good outcome.
谈到英语学习，我首先建议你制定一套学习策略，并规划一个灵活的学习方案。但在遇到困难时，切勿忽视适合自己的问题解决方法。你的学习搭档或许擅长在夜间高效记忆语块，而你可能在清晨思维最为敏锐。因此，你最好在起床后第一时间尝试扩充词汇量，并温习生疏词汇。此外，你还应该定期反思所学内容。 语言学习的核心在于持之以恒的练习。假设你喜欢阅读，不妨选择经典小说，或是关于恐龙、几何学甚至直升机的文章——任何你感兴趣的内容都可以。通过这种方式，你能让自己接触更多英语输入，从而在语境中自然习得新词汇。 简而言之，放轻松。只要你坚持努力，最终定能收获理想的成果。

Maths is all around us，from working out how to share the bill after a meal to calculating(计算) your household bills.Some people love the challenge of working out maths problems，but many fear the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry.It can seem discouraging，but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal，and you’re definitely not alone.And anyway，our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood，at school.Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils，and girls may be more likely to be affected.The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems,33% said they got tense and nervous doing maths homework，and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.Shulamit Kahn，from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business，told the BBC she believes giving students，particularly girls，good role models “is significant，especially at a young age”．She thinks the key is to get people，especially women who love teaching maths，to teach younger children.
Writing for BBC Future，David Robson says，“It’s not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear compared to geography.But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer might make you more worried about underperforming.” And once we assume we’re not a “maths person”，we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists(心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental calculation can bring us out in a sweat.That fear may come from many sources，but some suggest that expressing your fears clearly can loosen their hold on you，and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge，not a threat(威胁)．We need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了数学焦虑的现象、数学焦虑的来源，并建议通过表达恐惧来减轻其影响，鼓励孩子们将数学测试视为挑战而非威胁。

答案　C

2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．Girls are better at maths than boys.
B．Maths classes are difficult for all students.
C．Students’ anxiety results entirely from teachers.
D．Confidence in maths needs developing in childhood.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The problem really starts in childhood，at school.”以及“Shulamit Kahn...told the BBC she believes giving students，particularly girls，good role models ‘is significant，especially at a young age’．”可推知，对数学的信心需要在儿童时期培养。故选D。

A．He will rise to challenges.
B．He will learn maths harder.
C．He will be doubtful about his ability.
D．He will not see maths as a threat.

解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’，we avoid solving things that we probably could do.”可推知，一个人如果认为自己不是一个“学数学的人”，就会对自己的能力产生怀疑。故选C。
4．What are children advised to do according to the last paragraph
A．Track sources of maths fear regularly.
B．Speak fears out for improvement bravely.
C．Explore causes of failure in maths carefully.
D．Quit challenges to avoid anxiety actively.

Phonetic(语音) information—the smallest sound elements of speech—is considered by researchers to be the basis of language.Babies are thought to learn these small sound elements and add them together to make words.But a new study suggests that phonetic information is learnt too late and slowly for this to be the case.Instead，rhythmic(有韵律的) speech helps babies learn language and is effective even in the first few months of life.
Researchers from the Trinity College Dublin investigated babies’ ability to process phonetic information during their first year.Their study，published in the journal Nature Communications，found that phonetic information wasn’t successfully encoded(编码) until seven months old，and did not occur very often at 11 months old when babies began to say their first words.From then individual speech sounds are still added in very slowly—too slowly to form the basis of language.
The researchers recorded patterns of brain activity in 50 babies at four，seven，and eleven months old as they watched a video of a primary school teacher singing 18 nursery rhymes(童谣) to a baby.They found that phonetic encoding in babies appeared inchmeal over the first year of life，beginning with labial sounds(e.g.“d” for “daddy”) and nasal sounds(e.g.“m” for “mummy”)，with the “read out” progressively looking more like that of adults.
“The reason why we use nursery rhymes is because that is the best way for babies to discover and connect sounds with language，so we are teaching them how to speak，” said Giovanni Di Liberto，lead author of the study at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.“Parents should talk and sing to their babies as much as possible or use baby-directed speech because it will make a difference to language outcome，” she added.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了新的研究建议父母对婴儿使用有韵律的语言，比如童谣，来帮助婴儿学语言，因为婴儿是从节奏而不是语音学习语言的。
5．What should babies learn in the first few months of life according to the new study
A．Small sound elements.
B．Rhythmic information.
C．Phonetic information.
D．Individual words.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段的“Instead，rhythmic(有韵律的) speech helps babies learn language and is effective even in the first few months of life.”可知，婴儿在出生的头几个月应该首先学习有韵律的信息。故选B。
6．What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 2
A．The poor phonetic encoding in babies.
B．The advantages of phonetic information.
C．The babies’ great ability to learn language.
D．The babies’ growing process in the first year.
答案　A
解析　段落大意题。根据第二段整段信息可知，研究人员调查发现，婴儿直到七个月大时才成功编码了语音信息，而在11个月大开始说出第一个词时，语言信息并不经常出现。在那之后，他们对单独的语音音素的掌握增加得非常缓慢——慢到不足以形成语言的基础。由此可知，第二段主要讨论婴儿语音编码能力很差。故选A。
7．What does the underlined word “inchmeal” mean in paragraph 3
A．Gradually. B．Suddenly.
C．Successfully. D．Occasionally.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据下文“beginning with labial sounds(e.g.‘d’ for ‘daddy’) and nasal sounds(e.g.‘m’ for ‘mummy’)，with the ‘read out’ progressively looking more like that of adults”可推断，婴儿的语音编码是从鼻音和唇音开始逐渐变得更像成年人，画线词的意思应为“逐渐地”，与A项 Gradually意思相近，故选A。
8．What is the best title of the text
A．When Babies Are Able to Say Their First Words
B．How Phonetic Information Changes over Time
C．Why Phonetic Is Better Than Rhythmic for Babies
D．Why Babies Need Nursery Rhymes for Language Mastery
答案　D
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“Instead，rhythmic(有韵律的) speech helps babies learn language and is effective even in the first few months of life.”和最后一段内容可知，文章主要讲述婴儿在出生的头几个月应该首先学习有韵律的语言信息并建议父母尽可能多地对孩子说话和唱歌，或者使用诸如童谣之类的婴儿导向语，因为这有利于语言学习。故“为什么婴儿需要儿歌来掌握语言”与文本叙述一致，适合作为标题。故选D。

6.What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 2
A.The poor phonetic encoding in babies.
B.The advantages of phonetic information.
C.The babies’ great ability to learn language.
D.The babies’ growing process in the first year.
√
段落大意题。根据第二段整段信息可知，研究人员调查发现，婴儿直到七个月大时才成功编码了语音信息，而在11个月大开始说出第一个词时，语言信息并不经常出现。在那之后，他们对单独的语音音素的掌握增加得非常缓慢——慢到不足以形成语言的基础。由此可知，第二段主要讨论婴儿语音编码能力很差。故选A。
解析
7.What does the underlined word “inchmeal” mean in paragraph 3
A.Gradually. B.Suddenly.
C.Successfully. D.Occasionally.
√
词义猜测题。根据下文“beginning with labial sounds(e.g.‘d’ for ‘daddy’) and nasal sounds(e.g.‘m’ for ‘mummy’)，with the ‘read out’ progressively looking more like that of adults”可推断，婴儿的语音编码是从鼻音和唇音开始逐渐变得更像成年人，画线词的意思应为“逐渐地”，与A项 Gradually意思相近，故选A。
解析
8.What is the best title of the text
A.When Babies Are Able to Say Their First Words
B.How Phonetic Information Changes over Time
C.Why Phonetic Is Better Than Rhythmic for Babies
D.Why Babies Need Nursery Rhymes for Language Mastery
√
标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“Instead，rhythmic(有韵律的) speech helps babies learn language and is effective even in the first few months of life.”和最后一段内容可知，文章主要讲述婴儿在出生的头几个月应该首先学习有韵律的语言信息并建议父母尽可能多地对孩子说话和唱歌，或者使用诸如童谣之类的婴儿导向语，因为这有利于语言学习。故“为什么婴儿需要儿歌来掌握语言”与文本叙述一致，适合作为标题。故选D。
