When it es to math, in other words, Asians have a builtin advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different that being good at math may also be rooted in a group39。 The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an Englishspeaking sevenyearold to add thirtyseven plus twentytwo in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add threetensseven and twotenstwo, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it39。t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twentyone, twentytwo), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is tenone. Twelve is tentwo. Twentyfour is twotensfour and so on. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how numbernaming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. That example es from Stanislas Dahaene39。 Take a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you39?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并進一步根據上下文進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas.”可知，或許麥當勞的漢堡將最終取代著名的西班牙tapas，由此可推斷tapas指西班牙的一種食品。(4)考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的“In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.”可推斷出，西班牙政府給在西班牙上演的電影制定一些規(guī)則是為了限制外國電影的數(shù)量，保護西班牙的電影。根據第二段中的“I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture”可知，故答案選B。選A。(1)考查細節(jié)理解。A certain kind of food.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，講述了美國對作者家鄉(xiāng)西班牙有很大的影響，美國人的飲食習慣。A clothing brand.B.The name of a drink.D.To earn more money from Spanish films.C.American music.（3）Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A. Giving Tuesday is not just a US phenomenon, but a global movement. In 2016, 98 countries participated in the event, raising $177 million, a 44% increase over 2015, when 71 nations collected $ million. These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition. That same year, the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore peted to see who could encourage more donations. While the Pratt Library won with a $41,000 acquisition, the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well. In 2016, the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges. They raised an amazing $ million! The university hopes to recreate the magic this year, with a virtual celebration to mark the institution39。 While Black Friday and Cyber M
