問題詳情：
Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles (奮鬥) of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists' personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein (愛因斯坦) ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution (*). The last group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie's failed scientific tests. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles障礙) .
The students took a science exam before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him.
Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures失敗) .
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The "great minds" also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.
Xiaodong says today's science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.

【回答】
21.C
【解析】細節理解題。根據原文Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades.第二組和第三組學生提高了他們的科學成績，而這兩組都是讀的關於科學家是如何和困難做鬥爭，克服困難的，結合選項故選C。
22.B
【解析】細節理解題。根據第二段The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it.可知所有參加研究活動的學生都來自紐約，故B正確，而A,C選項都沒有提到，故選B。
23.A
【解析】推理判斷題。根據卡片內容，他的物理成績並沒有得到提高，反而下降，根據文中Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.可以推測他可能來自第1組，故選A。
24.B
【解析】詞義猜測題。結合單詞所在的句子According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him.孩子們認為愛因斯坦真的很聰明，他們認為他們永遠沒辦法…..他, 根據句意，這裏match意思是“比得上”，故選B。
25.C
【解析】細節理解題。根據最後一段students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.可知曉東認為學生們不僅僅要學習科學家成功的故事，而且要更多地學習他們是如何克服困難的，結合選項故選C。
