I often hear kids say," I’ m not a math person " or " I ' m just not good at math." These statements reflect what’s called a "fixed mindset", which is often associated with a sense of discouragement, powerlessness and inability to improve one’s situation. A fixed mindset is extremely common in math classrooms, but with the help of teachers, students can adopt a " growth mindset ".
This means believing in their potential to acquire the skills and knowledge . In strong , productive teacher - student relationships , teachers nurture （培养） growth mindsets . And there are some key steps in building these relationships , starting with giving instruction that meets the skill levels of individual students . Besides , it ' s important to give students social and emotional support , so they could develop social awareness , self - management , decision - making and relationship . skills .
How could teachers do these among class prep and grading duties I believe in applying educational technologies . With the right tools , teachers can skillfully manage to individualize instruction and meet social - emotional needs .
Razzaq , a math teacher at Doherty High School , has students from different socioeconomic backgrounds , and some were still learning English alongside math . The school once placed a student in her class , who hadn’t been in formal school since third grade . Students have different levels and social - emotional needs that demand attention from teachers . Sometimes they ' re not aware or communicative of the areas in which they need help . Razzaq gives tests with the help of some educational platforms , which generate reports that summarize individual weak points . Then Razzaq could give instructions suiting their academic situations , making productive use of class time . She also uses technologies that provide insights into social - emotional experiences such as attentiveness and time management . The data enables her to initiate conversations that make a difference in students ' education .
More importantly , we need to examine our approach to education . Are we creating an environment where children can develop healthily How are we satisfying the needs of our future generations , Only by knowing our vision can we decide the technology to complete the picture .
24. Which of the following problems do students often have about learning math according to the text

When we’re studying a new language, many of us approach it with dread. If we make a mistake or say something wrong , we judge ourselves strictly . But as it turns out, however , we ' d benefit by shifting(转移) our focus and worrying less about getting it right, according to Marianna Pascal, a communication skills trainer .
As a teacher who’s spent 20 years in Malaysia helping people speak better English , Pascal noticed that some students didn’t get a high language level but could still communicate very effectively. She remembers one specific student named Faisal. Despite not knowing much English , she says," This guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly, clearly, and then he could respond and express his thoughts beautifully."
She also observed some students knew quite a bit of English but struggled to make themselves understood . Pascal noticed that a lot of these students’ attitude towards English is like her daughter’s attitude towards playing the piano. Pascal says her daughter hated piano and hated practicing, because she was afraid of being wrong. To her, her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.
Then she shared her experience in a café. The person sitting next to her was playing a game while his friends watched , and he just wasn’t a very good player. But at the same time, she saw something amazing . Even though this guy was terrible and his friends were watching him , there was no embarrassment or shyness. There was no feeling of being judged . Instead , he focused completely on the task at hand. Pascal says," I suddenly realized that this is it. This is the same attitude that people like Faisal have when they speak English ."
Pascal believes that speaking a language isn’t like those exams many of us had to take in grade school, where a tiny mistake would result in a big red X from the teacher . In the real world, what matters is whether we can make ourselves understood. She says, "If you want to speak English well, don’t focus on yourself but focus on the other person and the goal you want to achieve."
28. What does the underlined word " dread " mean in paragraph 1
A . Fear .
B . Doubt .
C . Curiosity .
D . Confidence .
29. Why does Pascal mention her daughter
A . To provide some advice .
B . To offer some details .
C . To state a reason .
D . To present a fact .
30. What did Pascal see from the man playing a game
A . Never minding others ' opinions .
B . Not judging a person too soon .
C . Improving through practicing .
D . Playing a game with patience .
31. What might Pascal agree with
A . It is important for teachers to encourage students in exams .
B . It is OK to make small mistakes in speaking a language .
C . Language has to be fluently spoken in daily life .
D . Language is an art difficult to fully master .
D
What has the size of a soccer ball but can jump from the Statue of Liberty’ s feet to her eye level A new record - setting robot. An engineer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Hawkes, has been working on this robot for seven years with his colleagues." It started out as a stick with weights and rubber bands (橡皮筋) he remembers. After years of work , the robot has reached heights of 30 meters, higher than any other jumping robot or living animal .
These researchers studied how animals jump . They looked into leaping（跳跃的）frogs, spiders, kangaroos, dogs and more. But Hawkes' group didn’t want to copy any of these animals . Instead , the team learned what features set the limits for animal jumpers.
" It’s very exciting," says Cynthia Sung, a roboticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She was impressed with how high the robot jumped. And getting as high as possible was the main goal here. However, for the robot to be useful, it will need some improvements." They don ' t have any steering（转向装置）at all ," notes Sung. That means this robot can't control its jump height or direction. Sung's team has made its own jumping robot, named REBOund. That robot can't jump very high. But it can be programmed to jump to any of several different heights .
Hawkes’ team is working to add steering to their robot. These researchers hope to send their robot to the moon, so they also want to find a way for it to make collections there. A jumper can go to places a robot with wheels can’t. Hawkes' team is already working with NASA. They hope to turn their robot into a space explorer .
32. Why did the researchers look into how animals jump
A . To draw inspiration for the robot's appearance .
B . To find reasons for their jumping limits .
C . To make the robot jump like them .
D . To develop new rubber bands .
33. What does Cynthia Sung want to show through her words
A . Her REBOund is much better .
B . Her REBOund is a big breakthrough .
C . Hawkes' new robot can jump much higher .
D . Hawkes' new robot needs to be more practical .
34. What is Hawkes' team's attitude to their robot
A . They seem reserved about it .
B . They are doubtful about it .
C . They have high hopes for it .
D . They are very concerned about it .
35. What is the text mainly about
A . A new way to explore the moon .
B .A new method of building robots .
C . A new approach to jumping higher .
D . A new record - setting leaping robot .

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a new fourth grader, Gina was in Mrs Melton's class. After a month in class, she had a new classmate, John. The boy and his three younger brothers, together with their poor parents, had just moved to the town where Gina lived. When the school presented the boys with the school supply list for all fourth graders, they were upset. They had no money, so they hardly had the supplies required. They only had a few sheets of poor-quality paper and a pencil each.
As a result, except Gina, all kids in class made fun of John, who felt so embarrassed and lonely. Gina was sad to see it and felt sorry for John, so she decided to do something. She asked her mother Linda for new pencils, crayons, paper, etc. Without hesitation, Linda agreed. The next morning, Gina got up much earlier than usual. Although Linda found it strange, she didn't ask too much.
When Gina hurried to school, she quickly put her new supplies into John's desk before other classmates came in. Later, John was amazed and confused to find the supplies. He looked around, but Gina focused on her book, pretending to know nothing. John was disappointed; he failed to find the angel. After class began, other kids in class were also surprised by John's new supplies and couldn't laugh at him anymore.
After that day, Gina began to come home on a regular basis asking for school supplies. She didn't tell that she would give them to John, fearing Linda wouldn't agree with it. And as usual, Linda just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for items that should have easily lasted a long time, Linda became concerned and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school supplies ” The girl would always respond with an answer that satisfied her. One day, after supplying the same thing only a week earlier, Linda became annoyed with her.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
She asked her once more,“Gina! What's going on with your school supplies ”

Wanting to know more about John, the next day Linda visited Mrs Melton.

Cartoonists draw cartoons and photographers take pictures to match the stories . Foreign editors check the language .
On Thursday , page designers put the stories , cartoons and pictures on the pages . Editors read through the stories to find mistakes and write headlines and captions .

七选五：BCEDG
这是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述后悔是会给人们带来心理上和身体上的消极影响的，进而提出了化解或消除后悔的策略。
【小题1】
根据前文" Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life , a choice you made that can ' t be changed , something yo u said that you can ' t take back ."（后悔是对人生中令人失望的事件的真实反应，是你做出的无法改变的选择，是你说过的无法收回的话。）说明了后悔的定义。后文" Regret can increase our stress , negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems ."（后悔会增加我们的压力，对身体健康产生负面影响，扰乱我们免疫系统的平衡。）说明后悔带给身心的负面影响。所以空处应总结说明后悔不但是不愉快的，同时也是不健康的。选项 B ."后悔不仅是不愉快的，而且是不健康的。"，后文论述了后悔带来的不健康的影响，符合题意，故选 B 。
【小题2】
根据后文" One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path ."（一种是研究者称之为行动路径，另一种是不行动路径。）可知，空处应该总说有两种不同的方式。选项 C ."后悔基本上有两种方式。"符合题意，故选 C 。
【小题3】
根据前文" As with other negative emotions , it doesn’t work to avoid , deny or try to destroy regret ."（和其他负面情绪一样，回避、否认或试图消除后悔是不起作用的。）所以空处应承接前文，讲述我们应该换另一种方式来看待问题。选项 E ."换个角度看问题可能有助于减少遗憾."，承接前文，切题，故选 E 。
【小题4】
根据前文" Research suggests that action - related regret , although painful , encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on ."（研究表明，与行动相关的后悔虽然令人痛苦，却能鼓励人们从错误中吸取教训，继续前进。）讲述了研究者对后悔的方式之一：与行动相关的后悔，进行了分析。根据本段第二句可知，后悔有两种方式，一种是行动路径，另一种是不行动路径，所以空处应该是对比第一种方式，讲述不行动路劲的后悔。选项 D ."但与不行动相关的遗憾更难弥补。"，切题，故选 D 。
【小题5】
根据前文" You can help release these feeling s of regret by practicing self - compassion ( 我同情）."（你可以通过练习自我同情来帮助释放这些后悔的感觉。）说明自我同情可以帮助释放后悔的感觉。所以空处应总结论述这样自我同情是可以带给自己好处的。选项 G ."对自己表现出这种同情心可以帮助你接受并消除遗憾。"符合题意，故选 G 。

Reading is part of my growing
As Maxim Gorky has said,“Books are the stepping stones to human progress.”Clearly, we cannot do without reading books while growing if we want a better self.
As for me, it is with reading that my life is full of interesting , souls, from whom I have taken in wisdom, humor, as well as knowledge. What's more, I have found myself changing from somebody shy to really outgoing and easy-going, making quite a lot of friends with common interests.
Take pleasure in reading as a means of personal development; great things lie ahead.

One possible version:
She asked her once more,“Gina! What's going on with your school supplies ” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, Gina began to cry. Linda suddenly panicked and thought,“Had Gina been bullied by another child Was she giving her supplies to the child to keep from being hurt ”Finally, in tears, Gina told her she had given her supplies to John and explained the reason. Linda was surprised, but she hugged Gina and said,“I'm glad you're willing to help others, but you should have been honest.”
Wanting to know more about John, the next day Linda visited Mrs Melton. Linda told Mrs Melton what Gina had said and done. Mrs Melton was touched and congratulated her on having such a thoughtful daughter. Meanwhile, she was proud that she had such a nice student. After the visit, Linda decided to keep offering supplies to John and his brothers. Finally, John thanked Gina very much after knowing the truth, and they also became good friends. Inspired by Gina, the other kids in class eventually treated John friendly, too.
