【正文】 u have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you39。 That example es from Stanislas Dahaene39。 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.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. 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。 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 Asian numbernaming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.B.Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.D.s advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.（2）What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?A.B.Their math education.D.they pronounce the numbers in a shorter periodB.they don39。American children can only count to 15 at the age of four【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文為介紹說明文。（1）主旨大意題。同時(shí)根據(jù)第三段中的The number system in English is highly so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system.（英語中的數(shù)字系統(tǒng)是高度不規(guī)則的。他們有一個(gè)邏輯計(jì)數(shù)系統(tǒng)。）可推知，本文主要探討了亞洲兒童在數(shù)學(xué)方面的優(yōu)勢(shì)可能來源于他們的文化的問題。（2）推理判斷題。與英語不同，漢語允許他們把這七個(gè)數(shù)字放在兩秒鐘之內(nèi)）可推知，比起美國(guó)人，中國(guó)人的母語讓中國(guó)人更容易記住一列數(shù)字。（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。故選C。 The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us?t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant future. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn39。s lost, then it can39。 All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.（1）How many opinions are mentioned in ? A.B.C.D.Making lost wisdom alive again.Rescuing disappearing knowledge.C.D.We know a lot about human beings.B.We have a certain cultural continuity.D.s mainly talked about in the text? A.B.What will the earth be like in the future?D.根據(jù)第二段Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。根據(jù)第三段中第二、三句For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to ，細(xì)心的工作可以將以前失去的智慧帶回生活。故選A。根據(jù)第四段第一句However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other ，我們有一定的文化延續(xù)性能使知識(shí)幸存。(4)主旨大意題。閱讀時(shí)要注意作者說明事物采用的是什么方式。無論采用什么方法，作者都是為了說明事物的本質(zhì)特征，清晰地展現(xiàn)說明的事物。5．閱讀理解t have enough space for visitors items larger than 17*26 inches in the gallery. *For the safety of the artworks and other visitors, nothing may be carried on a visitor39。 *Smoking is prohibited. Food and drink are not permitted outside the food service areas. Unopened bottled water may be carried only in a visitor39。 *Animals, other than service animals, are not permitted. *Picturetaking(including video) for personal use is permitted except in the special exhibits.t touch the works of art.（1）According to the text, which item can be carried into the gallery? A.packageC.suitcase（2）When in the gallery, what can visitors do? A.B.They can take pictures for personal use anywhere.They must pay if they use wheelchairs for the children.（3）What is the text mainly about? A.The artworks of the galleryC.D.比如，游客攜帶的物品需要在入口處接受檢查；過大的物品不允許帶入博物館；此外，除了服務(wù)犬外其他動(dòng)物不允許進(jìn)入等等。根據(jù)第一段中的“After inspection, all bags, backpacks, umbrella, parcels and other items as determined by security officers must be left at the checkrooms, free of charge, close to each entrance.“可知，傘、背包和手提包等都不可以帶進(jìn)國(guó)家美術(shù)館。(2)考查推理判斷。(3)考查主旨大意?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇介紹類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。Singles Day: Alibaba Says
