教师资格考试网上报名Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for
each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Rea
d th
e passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank i s identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any o
f the words in th e bank more than once. Questions 26 to 35 are based on the followin
g passage.
Half of your brain stays alert and prepared for danger when you sleep in a new p lace, a study has revealed. This phenomenon is often 26 to as the “first-night-effect”. Researchers from Brown University found that a network in the left hemisp here of the brain “remained more active” than the
network in the right side of the brain. Playing sounds into the right ears (stimula ting the left hemisphere) of 27 was more likely to wake them up than if the noise s were played into their left ear.
It was 28 observed that the left side of the brain was more active during deep sl eep. When the researchers repeated the laboratory experiment on the second and th ird nights they found the left
hemisphere could not be stimulated in the same way during deep sleep. The res earchers explained that the study demonstrated when we are in a 29 environment th e brain partly remains alert so that humans can defend themselves against any 30 danger.
The researchers believe this is the first time that the “first-night-
effect” of different brain states has been 31 in humans. It isn‟
t, however, the first time it has ever been seen. Some animal 32 also display this p henomenon. For example, dolphins, as well as other 33 animals, shut down one hemisphere of the brain when they go to sleep. A previous study noted that dol
phins always 34 control their breathing. Without keeping the brain active while slee ping, they would
probably drown. But, as the human study suggest, another reason f or dolphins keeping their eyes open during sleep is that they can look out for 35 while asleep. It also keeps their physiological processes working.

Elite Math Competitions Struggle to Diversify Their Talent Pool
[A] Interest in elite high school math competitions has grown in recent years, an d in light of last summer‟s U.S. win at the International Math Olympiad (IMO)---
the first for an American team in more than two decades—
the trend is likely to continue.
[B] But will such contests, which are overwhelmingly dominated by Asian and w
hite students from middle-重庆公务员考试论坛
class and affluent families, become any more diverse? Many social and cultural factor s play roles in determining which promising students get on the path toward internati onal math recognition. But efforts are in place to expose more black, Hispanic, and lo w-
income students to advanced math, in the hope that the demographic pool of high-level contenders will eventually begin to shift and become less exclusive. [C] “The c hallenge is if certain types of people are doing something, it‟
s difficult for other people to break into it,” said Po-
Shen Loh, the head coach of last year‟s winning U.S. Math Olympiad team.
Participation grows through friends and networks and if “you realize that‟
s how they‟
re growing, you can start to take action” and bring in other students, he said.
护士执业证书编号查询入口[D] Most of the training for advanced-
math competitions happens outside the confines of the normal school day. Students attend after-school clubs, summer camps, online forums and classes, and university-based “math circles”, to prepare for the competitions.
[E] One of the largest feeders for high school math competitions—
including those that eventually lead to the IMO—
is a middle school program called Math Counts. About 100,000 students around the c ountry participate in the program‟
华南理工大学研究生分数线s competition series, which culminates in a national game-show-
style contest held each May. The most recent one took place last week in Washington , D.C. Students join a team through their schools, which provide a volunteer coach an
d pay a nominal fe
e to send students to regional and state competitions. The 224 stu dents who make it to the national competition get an all-expenses-
paid trip. [F] Nearly all members of last year‟
s winning U.S. IMO team took part in Math Counts as middle school students, as did L oh, the coach. “Middle school is an important age because students have enough m ath capability to solve advanced problems, but they haven‟
t really decided what they want to do with their lives,” said Loh. “They often get h ooked then.”[G] Another influential feeder for advanced-
math students is an online school called Art of Problem Solving, which began about 1 3 years ago and now has 15,000 users. Students use forums to chat, play games, and solve problems together at no cost, or they can pay a few hundred dollars to take cou rses with trained teachers. According to Richard Rusczyk, the company founder, the si x U.S. team members who competed at the IMO last year collectively took more than 40 courses on the site. Parents of advanced-
math students and Math Counts coaches say the children are on the website constan tly.
[H] There are also dozens of summer camps—many attached to universities—that aim to prepare elite math students. Some are pricey---a three-
week intensive program can cost $4,500 or more—
but most offer scholarships. The Math Olympiad Summer Training Program is a three-week math camp held by the Mathematical Association of America that leads straight to the international championship and is free for those who make it. Only about 50 s tudents are invited based on their performance on written tests and at the USA Math Olympiad.
