Question

Most middle school students find it boring to learn math. But students in Yet Sen Middle School in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points, ”said Joel. Klein, the school’s headteacher, “We’re looking for a new way that interests students. ”

Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宮)with their keyboards, some questions come up.

Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“I was right, ”said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score(高分). “This really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better. ”

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要敘述的是一種不同于平常的學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的新方法—使用電腦游戲來學(xué)習(xí)。

1. 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.可知主要是因為他們使用電腦學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。故B正確。

2. 推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it.可知老師給學(xué)生一種新的學(xué)習(xí)方法，沒有哪一種傳統(tǒng)的方法比得上它。再根據(jù)接下來兩段敘述內(nèi)容學(xué)生對此很感興趣。所以B項說法錯誤。

3. 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)本段Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.可知他要回答這個數(shù)學(xué)問題，那么需要進行計算。故該詞是指A項“算出”。故A正確。

4. 推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games.可知他們是通過游戲來學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，接下來所列舉Caleb Deng的例子也正是為了證明這一點。故D正確。

5.C 主旨大意題。本文主要敘述的是一種不同于平常的學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的新方法—使用電腦游戲來學(xué)習(xí)。故C正確。
