2023高考英语上海市名校模拟真题速递 第一期 专题04 阅读理解之应用文10篇 （2022秋·上海浦东新·高三校考一模）Isaac Newton on a skateboard? Does maths explain everything? It’s long time since most of us were at school, sitting in maths class and thinking: “When am I ever going to need this?”  As adults we know that the answer is “all the time” --maths is everywhere, and not just in the places you’d expect. The challenge is to help children realize its relevance to their everyday life. AQUlLA’s Real World Maths Issue: They may not know it, but even skateboarders and dancers are using maths all the time --- and your  local skate park is actually a great place to put mathematical theory (think calculus) into action! In this issue, children can read about Sir Christopher Wren’s plans for re-building London; try AQUILA’s topologist game; investigate snowflakes-nature’s little mathematical masterpieces, and learn about artist L.S Lowry’s ideas on perspective. Plus: find out some really bad maths that ended up in catastrophe and discover why being a perfectionist is not always a bad thing. “......Advanced & Philosophical, Curious & Puzzling” RICHARD ROBINSON, BRIGHTON SCIENCE FESTIVAL 1．The passage is intended to_________.
