Module 2　My New Teachers (限时：35分钟)(对应学生用书第299页)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·江西名校联盟检测)Several decades agomost students leave American schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or for higher education.This was especially true for female and minority students.The Educational Testing Service reported that，in an international survey，American teenagers had the lowest math scores. This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”，or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians，teachers，and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that，in addition to poor education，there are many psychological blocks. Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result，those students fall further and further behind.Low visibility in the classroom has not always been recognized as a silent call for help. Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”－the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In additionh textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures，and to discover relationships. Traditional computing skills of addition，subtraction，multiplication and division are still being taught，of course.However，there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving，to which there may be several equally valid solutions. 【语篇解读】　本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策。1．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
