21.The students in Akira Miyake's study were all majoring in

A. physics

B. psychology or physics

C. science, technology, engineering or mathematics

分析：

定位词all majoring in，询问学生专业

原文：LISA:Yeah. I got a little confused at first about which students the study was based on.

They weren't (出现否定，之后出现的信息被否定掉，不能作为正确答案。否定注意t基本不发音，要注意听n音)actually majoring in physics - they were majoring in what's known as the STEM disciplines.

That's science, technology, engineering and ...

GREG:… and math.(C选项出现美国STEM专业)

Yes, but they were all doing physics courses as part of their studies(学习物理，但是并不是物理专业).

LISA:That's correct.

答案：C

22.The aim of Miyake's study was to investigate

A. what kind of women choose to study physics.

B. a way of improving women's performance in physics.

C. whether fewer women than men study physics at college.

分析：

定位词aim，investigate，要注意这两个词的同义替换

原文：

GREG:Yeah. But what the researchers wanted to(不定式可以做目的状语) find out (investigate同义替换)was basically what they could do about the relatively low level of the women's results.

But in order to find a solution they needed to find out more about the nature of the problem.

what they could do对应答案选项a way of improving.

答案;B

23.The female physics students were wrong to believe that

A. the teachers marked them in an unfair way.

B. the male students expected them to do badly.

C. their test results were lower than the male students'.

分析：

定位词female，wrong，believe

原文：

But actually they were wrong ...(定位词原词重现)

No one was making any assumptions about the female students at all.

LISA:Anyway, what Miyake's team did was quite simple - getting the students to do some writing before they went into the physics class.

no one was making any assumption没有人在做任何假设对应expected them to do badly

答案：B

24.Miyake's team asked the students to write about

A. what they enjoyed about studying physics.

B. the successful experiences of other people.

C. something that was important to them personally.

分析：

定位词write about

原文：

GREG:Values-affirmation- they had to write(原词重现) an essay focusing on things that were significant to them, not particularly to do with the subject they were studying, but more general things like music, or people who mattered to them

Significant和important同义替换

答案为：C

25.What was the aim of the writing exercise done by the subjects?

A. to reduce stress

B. to strengthen verbal ability

C. to encourage logical thinking

分析：

定位词aim of writing

原文：

So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way.

GREG: And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance.

Aim和idea of doing the writing is that…都是做某事的目的，互相同义替换

relax them和reduce stress同义替换

答案：A

26.What surprised the researchers about the study?

A. how few students managed to get A grades

B. the positive impact it had on physics results for women

C. the difference between male and female performance

分析：

surprised常常和unexpected同义替换

原文：

LISA:Right. So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way.

GREG: And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance.

Yeah. But what the researchers in the study hadn't expected(surprised同义替换

出现) was that this one activity raised the women's physics grades from the C to the B range.

raise grade from C to B range, 对应positive impact

答案B
