The Basics of Math—Made Clear

Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic (算术) and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.

The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into

exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.

Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The l ectures offer students the chance to ―make sense‖ of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.

By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.

Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as ―the best math teacher in America,‖ is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concept s in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.

With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.

If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

49. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?

A. Algebra.

B. College Mathematics.

C. Arithmetic.

D. Mathematics Education.

50. What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?

A. Stronger imaginative ability.

B. Additional presentation skills.

C. More mathematical confidence.

D. Greater chances of becoming teachers.

51. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A. A news report.

B. A book review

C. A lesson plan.

D. An advertisement

C

Between 1996 and 2010, according to a study published in 2012, the use of computed tomography (CT)(计算机断层扫描) scans nearly increased by three times as much, from 52 scans per 1,000 patients to 149 scans per 1,000 patients. And those images certainly provided valuable information to help doctors diagnose(诊断) hidden conditions that wouldn’t have been possible without the added insight. But CT scans produce those detailed images using small amounts of radiation, and while the absolute risk of that exposure(暴露) is small, on a population level, increased reliance (依赖) on the scans could drive a slight bump in cancer risk from CT.

That’s exactly what the latest study, published in the British Medical Journal, found. It’s the largest study to date — involving 10.9 million Australians born between 1985 and 2005. A team of researchers from Australia and Europe studied the cancer rates of Australian patients from birth to 19 years old who had CT scans in early childhood, and compared them to those who did not receive the scans.

Most of the cases were followed for 10 to 17 years, and by the end of the study period, 3,150 of the 680,000 patients exposed to CT scans during childhood and young adulthood developed cancer and 57,542 of the remaining participants, who were not exposed, developed cancer. Those who were scanned had a 24% greater risk of cancer than those who did not receive them, with the risk increasing by 16% for each additional CT. The risk was highest for children who received scans before age five; they showed a 35% increased chance of developing a cancer during the

study period than those who weren’t scanned at this age.

That research is still ongoing, however, and in the meantime, doctors and patients are left to find the delicate balance between how necessary scans are to diagnose disease, and their potential risk of causing cancer, which, most experts say, is still very small. ―All parties, including patients and families, need to work together to make sure that CT scans are limited to situations where there is a definite(明确的) clinical(临床) indication,‖ the authors write. Only then will the benefits, they say, outweigh the risks of exposure.

52. What can we learn about the participants of the study?

A. They came from both Australia and Europe.

B. Most of them are between 10 to 17 years old.

C. Some of them had developed cancer at the age of 19.

D. About 10.22 million of them hadn’t received CT scans.

53. Among the following, who will face the highest cancer risk after CT scans?

A. A one-year-old baby.

B. A seven-year-old student.

C. A fourteen-year-old teen.

D. A twenty-year-old adult.

54. Which might be a suggestion from the researchers of the study?

A. Patients should take a cautious attitude to CT scans.

B. Hospitals should provide more CT scan services.

C. Doctors should use CT scans to diagnose cancer.

D. Young people should say no to CT scans.

55. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To report a coming event.

B. To present a research result.

C. To tell an interesting story.

D. To introduce a diagnostic tool.

Mental health is about the way you think and feel and your ability to deal with ups and downs.

Even though you are mentally healthy, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a menta1 health problem.

Mental health is everyone’s business. We all have times when we feel down or stressed. Most

of the time those feelings pass，but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem. It seems

that our mental health doesn’t always stay the same. It can change as the environment changes and

as you move through different stages (阶段)of your life.

Here are four practical ways to look after your mental health. Making simple changes to how

you live doesn’t cost much or take up lots of time. Anyone can follow them.

●Talk about your feelings. It can help you stay in good mental health. It isn’t a sign of weakness, but part of your ability to do what you can to stay healthy.

●Eat well. What y ou eat and how you feel are closely connected. A proper diet can have a

good effect on your mental health.

●Keep in touch. Friends and family members can offer various suggestions which may help

you do everything actively and solve practical problems.

●Tak e a break. It could be a weekend exploring new places to enjoy the nature, or even a ten-minute break from doing your homework. A few minutes can be enough to relax you.

阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

though you are mentally healthy, it is 72.__ __ _that you have a menta1 health problem. We

all have times when we feel down or stressed. Most of the time those feelings pass，but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem. Making simple changes to your 73. _ doesn’t cost much or take up lots of time. First, talk about your feelings. Second, a proper diet

can have a good effect on your mental health. Third, various suggestions may be 74. by

Under the Dome(穹顶), a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing, was released on video-sharing websites in China on Feb 28. It has rapidly drawn the public’s attention about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference.

A recently study found people’s lives are made shor ter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均寿命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承担责任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already

done something. However, it doesn’t seem to work so well.

―Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than

we can imagine,‖ said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University, one of researchers of this study.

Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year, the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(废气) from

coal heating.

Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses, ride bicycles or walk, instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.

―We need to improve our environment, although it might be ex pensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves,‖ Li Hongbin, another researcher of the study said.

七、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词.使短文意思完整，每空一词。

Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes. So it is often s 81 that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of e 82 ? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he finds that he is being looked at, he may feel u 83 . The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see

i 84 there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel

a 85 toward the person who is looking at you that way.

Looking too long at someone seems to be impolite. But sometimes things are d 86 . When two people are in a c 87 , the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay a 88 to what he or she is saying. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that

w 89 cannot express.

Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the r 90 between two people and the place where you stay.
