The Basics of
Math
—
Made Clear
Basic 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
addi
tion 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
m
athematical knowledge that
may have seemed so frightening. They also help
students
prepare for college
mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this
amazing
—
and
completely understan
dable
—
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
Ken
tucky 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 a 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.

【要点综述】本文主要介绍了一个数学课程，从课程内
容、功能用途、预期目标、主讲
人等方面做了详细说明，是一则招生广告。
56.
C
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The
lessons
in
Basic
Math
cover
every
basic
aspect of arithmetic.”可知此题答案为
C
。
57.
C
细节理解题。本题考查课
程的功能
作用。第四段整体在讲述该课程的功能作
用。只有
C
项为本段中讲述的。其他项均未涉及。
58. B
推理判断题。本题适合
用排除法对四个选项进行排除。文中只说明他是被
Kentucky
Educational
Television
评为美国最好的数学教师，并没说明他是在电视台做客座
讲师；文中也谈到他
在
Georgia
State
Un
ive
rsity
取得博士学位，而他是在
Central
Arizona
College
教数学。他的课是为
future primary school
teachers
做准备，而不是直接培训教
师。本文只谈到他
一个教师，所以推断应该是唯一教师。结合第一段数学课程是由
30
个讲座
构成，所以选
B
。
59. D
推理判断题。根据最后一段
“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.
< br>”可知，此课程为收费课程，应是招生广告。所以选
D
。
