45、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 addition to learning how to p

46、erform 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

47、 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 mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety ab

48、out this amazingand completely understandablefield 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

58、ear to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨) Heres a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths. Go to See the Mona Lisa? There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 mill

59、ion people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year cant all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it f

60、or security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.

What is the main purpose of the

64、 passage? A. To advertise a book. B. To introduce a website. C. To comment on popular lists. D. To recommend tourist activities. 【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。60. D细节理解题。从Swim with Dolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳会给海豚带来危险。61. B细节理解题。在Go to

65、See the Mona Lisa的材料中，作者反复论证了go to see the Mona Lisa的诸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往参观，个人不可能有预想的观赏效果。62. D推理判断题。该文采取先抑后扬的写作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的观点。63. A写作意图题。该篇材料最后点出写作目的，即为101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die打广告。66.Here is your best chance to travel around the UK in 2012: More that 200 B&Bs(bed & breakfast) across England,
