【正文】 當(dāng)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?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。 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。 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。Singles Day: Alibaba Says a Lot of People in China Bought OnlineThe planet39。 Monday was Nov. 11, known in China as Singles Day. This year, nearly $ billion worth of stuff was sold on Alibaba39。s $ billion and making Black Friday look, yet again, like a yard sale. Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its businesstobusiness site, allowed people to buy almost everything. Alibaba39。t hard to see: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. s advantage mainly lie in? platform. service. price. size.（4）Which word can replace the underlined word gigantic in the last paragraph ? ....【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了引領(lǐng)了中國(guó)雙十一購(gòu)物節(jié)的阿里巴巴公司。同時(shí)介紹了阿里巴巴的相關(guān)信息。本文介紹了中國(guó)雙十一購(gòu)物節(jié)相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)和阿里巴巴公司的情況，可以從報(bào)紙了解到相關(guān)信息。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s advantage wasn39。故選D。最后一段中的“and it wants to grow bigger still”，阿里巴巴也想繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大，此處使用了bigger形容詞的比較級(jí)，由此可判斷劃線詞意為“大”，故選A。8．閱讀理解 s easy to believe that as a worldwide festival, most countries probably celebrate it in a fairly similar manner. Being from the UK, Christmas for me means spending time with family and friends, exchanging presents, eating and drinking, and, of course, hiding from the cold. In Colombia, however, Christmas is viewed much more as a time which devotes itself to religion. s homes. Cities are lit up by candles, as this day marks the beginning of the Christmas period. Although decorations have been up since early November, another tradition in Colombia is that during the nine days before Christmas, family members and friends meet up to pray, sing songs and share traditional foods at home. Being in a country like Colombia during this festive period has taught me that you don39。s the authors opinion of Christmas? isn39。t a time for being alone. is mainly devoted to religion.39。 （1）考查推理判斷。圣誕節(jié)是團(tuán)聚的時(shí)間不是獨(dú)處的時(shí)間。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選A。根據(jù)第三段中的“the songs are loved more for the memories they symbolize than for the way they sound, and that Colombia has been through so many dark periods in history, it was important to hold on to the good memories of years gone past.”可知哥倫比亞圣誕音樂讓人喜愛是因?yàn)樗鼈兯笳鞯挠洃?，是要保持?duì)過去歲月的美好記憶。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver39。Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act
