These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic 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 Mathstarts 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 lectures 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 inAmerica, " is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts 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-friendlierand 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.(1) What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A. Algebra.B. College Mathematics.C. Arithmetic.D. Mathematics Education.(2) 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.(3) What can we learn about Professor H. Siegel?A. He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.B. He is to deliver 30lectures in Basic Math.C. He works in Georgia State University.D. He specializes in training teachers.(4) Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A news report.B. A book reviewC. A lesson plan.D.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way? "Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a mannamed George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses forpeanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip （掷） a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution." The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!(1) What did the author's classmates think about his report?A. Controversial.B. Ridiculous.C. Boring.D. Puzzling.(2) Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher's instruction.D. He was new at the school.(3) The underlined word "burning" in Para. 3 probably means.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager(4) In the end, the author turned things around.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmaster19、【来源】 2014~2015学年北京朝阳区北京市朝阳外国语学校高一下学期期中（C篇）第25~27题2020~2021学年9月北京东城区北京市第一七一中学高一上学期月考（C篇）第38~40题6分Decision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative（负面的）consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways."Stress affects how people learn, " saysProfessor Mara Mather. "People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress."For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images（影像） with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to givea speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.(1) We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to.A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively(2) According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their.A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions(3) The research has proved that in a stressful situation,.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks20、【来源】 2012年高考真题北京卷第20~23题2014~2015学年北京西城区北京师范大学附属实验中学高二下学期期中（D篇）第15~18题Wilderness"In wilderness（荒野） is the preservation of the world." This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation（开发） brings tosuch landscapes（景观） is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these”ecosystem services”far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.(1) John Sauven holds that.A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong(2) What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.(3) What is the author's attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.(4) Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.四、七选五21、【来源】 2012年高考真题北京卷第21题2016~2017学年北京东城区北京市第二中学高一下学期期末第71~75题10分2017~2018学年9月山东济南市中区济南外国语学校三箭分校高三上学期月考第36~40题10分2017~2018学年2月湖南长沙天心区长郡中学高三上学期月考（E篇）第36~40题10分EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10years.1Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect.2There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related bynature.3Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a goodleader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in newmanagers.4"Academics are important. But if you don't have emotional（情感的）intelligence, you won't be ssuccessful in work or in your love life, "she says.What's the best way to up your EQ（情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others.5To really develop empathy, you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a "sharing circle"with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. "One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking," Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of "emotional intelligence" that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.五、书面表达22、【来源】 2012年高考真题北京卷第22题2017年北京海淀区北方交通大学附属中学高三零模第77题20分假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，校报英文版正在开展 "续写雷锋日记" 活动。

2012北京高考各区英语阅读+七选五2012（西一） AWhen I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh ．Whenever I was ad , you'd shake your finger at me and ask : How could you?—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．My housetraining was a long process, because you were ter ribly busy, but we worked on that together．We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides．We stopped for ice cream ．I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at t he end of the day．Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on y our career, and more time searching for a human mate．Eventu ally, you fell in love．She, now your wife, is riot a dog person, b ut I still welcomed her into our home．I was happy because you were happy．Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they s melled, and I wanted to mother them too．Your wife was afraid I would bite them．But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I b ecame their friend．Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets．You'v e made the right decision for your family , but there was a time when I was your only family．I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound．It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness．Y ou filled out the paperwork and said:I know you will find a good home for her． They shrugged and gave you a pained look．The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye．And How could you? were the only three words that swept over my mind．Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, when ever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a ba d dream．My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forev er．I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me．浏览完整试题56．Who tells this story?A．A dog． B．A child．C．A dog's owner． D ．A dog trainer57．Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?A．He had a newborn baby．B．His wife did not lik e the dog．C．He was moving into a new building．D．He though t the dog too troublesome．58．Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A．It hoped to be adopted by another family．B．It contin ued to love its former owner．C．It did not trust humans any more． D．It was excite d about the pound．59．What is the theme of the story?A．Be ready for changes．B．Never expect too m uch．C．Never complain about your life． D．Be faithful to those who love you．BPresent or Future?Americans are future-minded．They really live in the future．The present is just a way station． This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared eve n by all European countries．The French are known to be prese nt-minded while the British are often called past-minded．For Japanese Zen followers, time is like a pool of water ．Things just happen．There is no past, present or future．Egyp tians are well known for their past mindedness．I did not grow up with a telephone．So the Yellow Pages w ere something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U．S ．．I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that i t didn't have what I needed．My wife used to ask , Didn't you ca ll before going there? The concept of calling ahead of time requ ires planning and a future mind, while my upbringing was in a p resent-minded culture．One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking．So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in adv ance what things she needs for the upcoming meals．She is alw ays sure that she has everything．The truth is that many times, i n the middle of cooking, she will ask for items we don't have．T hat shows a present mind．You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning．Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life acco rdingly is a sign of a future mind． Normally, when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas, I figure that it will rain today．Here people are trained from their childh ood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before le aving the house．I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds．Here my present mind gets me wetevery time．Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cult ures across the globe．So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandabl e．In today's dialogue, building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultu res, which may appear to be so foreign．However, they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet．60．The author was most likely born in ____．A．America B．France C．Britain D．Egypt61．Which is true about the author?A．He was more future-minded than his mother．B．He received most of his education in Japan．C．He learned to check the weather before going out．D．He disliked calling the store before going shopping．62．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Americans value time more than any other culture．B．Americans should be understood by other cultures．C．Communication between cultures is easier than before．D．Harmony should be achieved despite cultural difference s．CA woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 y ears after a pioneering voice box transplant （移植）．Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life．Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: Good morning, I want to go home．It is the first ti me a voice box and windpipe have been transplanted at the sa me time and only the second time a voice box has ever been tra nsplanted．展开余下试题Ms．Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999．Since then, sh e has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only thr ough a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box．In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis M edical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe fr om a donor body．In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms．Jensen's throat a nd the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves （神经）．Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, w ho was part of the surgery team, said: We've learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function agai n． It'll open the door to better facial transplants and will be ext remely important as tissue engineering develops．A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not li fe saving．Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system （免疫系统） for the rest of their lives． These drugs can reduce life expe ctancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures．One of the reasons Ms．Jensen was a suitable person for th is transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas transplant four years ago．Professor Peter Belafsky , p art of the surgical team, said: Brenda was an exceptional candid ate for the transplant because she was highly motivated．Anyo ne who's met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physica l challenges she's faced over her lifetime．63．The voice transplant operation is of great significance b ecause it proves that ____．A．facial transplants are now easier to performB．new medical technology is always possible to discoverC．nerve repairing is a breakthrough in tissue engineeringD．the drugs taken after the operation help the patient live longer64．Ms．Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant be cause she was ____．A．strong-willed and prepared B．experienced and brave C．seriously ill and motivated D．determined and r ealistic65．Which of the following is the right time order of the ev ent?a．Ms．Jensen received a voice box transplant operation．b．Ms．Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs．c．Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body．d．Ms．Jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant operation．A．acdb B．dbca C．bdca D．cabd66．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Transplant Saves A Woman's Life B．Overcoming Ob stacles to Speak AgainC．First Words from New Voice Box D．Courageous W oman Defeating FearsDWanna buy a body? That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U．S．N ews．Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into hem ,who trade in pictures of b odies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and us ,the serious newspeople．But after 16 years in that role, I came to w onder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photog raphers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justifie d marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of t he reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking t heir way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．A nd I wasn't alone．In any American town, after a car crash or some other horri ble incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely s ee photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos o f the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspap er and television photographers on the scene –and fast ．．．How can we justify doing this?

A篇The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic 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 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 lectures 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. Siege l, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts 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.B基本的Math-Made清晰基本的数学介绍了学生数学的基本概念,以及更棘手的领域的基本原理。
