“Why are you all looking at me like that ” he asked. “We heard that yesterday a heron flew out of your mouth, and some other kinds of birds, too. And a river of water with fish of all kinds in it! We want to see you do it again!” A boy spoke up.

Does using fingers to count(数数) show that a student is having trouble with math Some people believe so, thinking it’s a sign of having problems in understanding numbers. But others have a different idea. They believe finger counting shows a better understanding of numbers. Recent study has shown that teaching kids to count on their fingers can improve their math skills.
Scientists from Switzerland and France found out the result of finger counting on children. They carried out a study with children who didn’t usually count on their fingers. They wanted to find out if it would help them in math. The study found 328 kindergarten(幼儿园) children in France.
Before the study began, they tested the children to see how well they could solve some simple math problems. Then, they put the children into two groups. One group took part in a two-week training program where they learned to count on their fingers. After the training, they were tested again. The results were surprising! The percentage of their right answers added from 37% to 77%. This was a much bigger jump than the group that didn’t have the training.
Dr.Catherine Thevenot, who led the study, explained the importance of the study, “Over 75% of the kindergartners improved with the training. We give a clear answer to if teachers should support(支持) finger counting. ”
This study started because some teachers weren’t sure if finger counting was a good way of teaching. The findings of this study show that it certainly is. Finger counting not only helps children with their math but also shows that they understand numbers better. This way prepares young learners to become better at math as they grow older.
( ) 27. How does the writer begin the passage
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story.
C. By asking a question. D. By explaining a saying.
( ) 28. Why did the scientists carry out the study
A. To check if online math programs are useful.
B. To compare different teaching ways for math.
C. To see if finger counting helps children with math.
D. To find out how many students count on their fingers.
( ) 29. How did the study show the result
A. By having finger counting in different countries.
B. By talking with kids to learn their ideas about math.
C. By asking others’ opinions on children’s math skills.
D. By testing kindergarten children before and after training.
( ) 30. What is the best title of the passage
A. A Useful Way to Learn Math. B. A Popular Study about Math.
C. A Different Idea on Children. D. A Great Show about Children.
第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共计 5 分）
阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入第31—34小题，并回答第35小题。
Everyone sometimes talks to themselves. Self-talk is a normal part of life. 31 If your self-talk is negative(消极的) and you start to believe it, that can hurt you. Here are some ways on how to turn your self-talk around.
See what you’re saying. If you catch thoughts like “I’m not smart enough” or “I’ll never get into college,” tell yourself to stop. Then ask: Is this thought true Is it helping me 32
Instead of saying, “I’m not good at this,” try saying, “Next time, I can do better.” 33 These small changes can make a big difference to how you feel and do. Interestingly, study shows that talking to yourself as “you” works even better than “I”. For example, saying “You can do this” can be more useful than “I can do this.”
You can let self-talk help you by giving yourself orders as well. This skill is commonly used by sports players. For example, runners often tell themselves during a race, “Keep your way steady (平稳的)” or “You’ve got this.” You can do the same in everyday situations. If you’re feeling nervous before a competition, tell yourself, “ 34 ” This kind of self- talk helps you.
Self-talk is a useful way. We can better control our feelings and actions through it. So starting today, talk to yourself in a good way!
A. If not, it’s time to change it. B. Take a breath and speak clearly. C. You could be setting yourself up for a fall. D. Also, say like “ I am the best” or “I will make it.” E. However, the way you talk to yourself is more important.
