He was born into a well-educated family.  　17　 an excellent engineer， Zu Chongzhi’s grandfather taught him science. From an early age， Zu Chongzhi showed great intelligence and curiosity， with special interest in mathematics and  　18　. Today we know Zu Chongzhi because he was the first person to  　19　 that pi falls between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927， and his result remained the  　20　 value in the world for about 1，000 years. He also worked out the close value of pi to be 355/113， which he called the “close ratio”. This ratio was  　21　 hard that people named it “Zu’s ratio”. 一 二 三 四 It is not clear how Zu Chongzhi became interested in finding the value of pi， yet people have told stories about him. For a long time in the past， people believed that the circumference（周长） of a circle was  　22　 its diameter（直径）. Zu Chongzhi was not sure about this result and wanted to prove it  　23　. He used a  　24　 to measure the circumference of a wheel. Then he folded the rope into three equal parts and compared it with the diameter of the  　25　. No matter how many wheels he measured， the diameter of the wheel was always shorter than a third of the circumference. 一 二 三 四 （　A　）16. A. mathematician B. artist C. painter D. musician （　B　）17. A.

People in China associate good things with lucky numbers. So lucky numbers came into being on their own way. Chinese people always pay attention to the lucky numbers in daily life， such as choosing telephone numbers， choosing a date for an important party and choosing good numbers for their cars. 一 二 三 四 13 They think lucky numbers can bring them good luck. In China， people think even（偶数的） numbers are good but odd（奇数的） ones are not， so they often give others presents in even numbers. The number 8 is regarded as a very good number in China because when you read it in Chinese， it sounds like the character “Fa”， meaning success and money. So Chinese people like it very much. 一 二 三 四 What’s more， some people prefer to spend much money on a telephone number with 8 in it. They also like their homes on the eighth floor of buildings. Some numbers are neither lucky nor unlucky， but when going together with other numbers， they will have some good meanings（意义）. The number 1 sounds like “yao”， meaning “want”. It’s very popular when going together with 6 and 8. For example， 188， 166 and 168 are very popular by meaning “making a fortune” or “going on well”. 一 二 三 四 （　C　）26. What does the underlined word “associate” mean？ A. Lose. B. Work. C. Connect. D. Play. （　A　）27. Why do people like the lucky numbers？ A. Because people think they can bring good luck. B. Because they are different from other numbers. C. Because they are useful in daily life. D. Because they play an important part in daily life. C A 一 二 三 四 （　D　）28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？ A. Chinese people think odd numbers are not as good as even numbers. B. Chinese people think the number 8 is a very good number. C. The Chinese prefer to live on the eighth floor. D. The number 2 can become lucky with the number 8. （　B　）29. Which can be the favourite numbers of a Chinese person’s car？ A. 14279. B. 16898. C. 45478. D. 45367. D B 一 二 三 四 （　C　）30. What is the passage mainly about？ A. Unlucky numbers. B. Even numbers. C. Lucky numbers. D. Odd numbers. C 一 二 三 四 B How can you remember numbers quickly？ Have you ever used your fingers to count numbers or do you have other ways to count them？ Numbers are important in our daily life. 一 二 三 四 Many people think numbers and Maths are the same all over the world， but scientists have found that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use their fingers to count but the ways they use are different. In the United States， people begin counting with their first fingers， and then they use the rest of their fingers to count to five. Next they do this again with the other hand to get to ten. In China， people count by using different finger positions（位置）. In this way， a Chinese person can easily count to ten by using only one hand. 一 二 三 四 Besides the ways of counting， scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers， and some have no words for numbers. For example， some people in Australia don’t have any hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have any words for numbers. However， they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. We need to use numbers in our daily life， so numbers appear. Now we know numbers and Maths are different all over the world. 一 二 三 四 （　C　）31. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to？ A. Countries. B. Fingers. C. Numbers. D. Words. C 一 二 三 四 （　C　）32. What have the scientists found according to the second paragraph？ A. Numbers and Maths are the same all over the world. B. Cultures are different all over the world. C. The ways of counting are different all over the world. D. Languages are different all over the world. （　C　）33. How can Chinese people count to ten？ A. By using the first fingers. B. By using only one finger. C. By using only one hand. D. By using the last fingers. C C 一 二 三 四 （　D　）34. What CANNOT we know about numbers according to the passage？ A. Numbers are connected with the culture. B. Numbers appear because people need them in their daily life. C. Some languages have only a few words for numbers. D. Numbers appeared the earliest in China. D 一 二 三 四 （　D　）35. What does the writer want to tell us？ A. How to understand numbers. B. How to use numbers. C. The history of numbers. D. Something about numbers and counting. D 一 二 三 四 C One plus one equals two. There are 60 seconds in one minute. Sixty minutes equals one hour. There are 24 hours in one day. One year usually includes 365 days. These are all basic facts that we know by heart. But have you ever stopped to think how numbers came into being and how they developed？ 一 二 三 四 It’s safe to say that our society would have never developed without numbers. However， the development of numbers is still a puzzle to us. That’s because when ancient people developed simple ways of counting， they didn’t leave any records behind. It’s not difficult to guess that numbers and counting began with the number “1”， though ancient people probably didn’t call it “one”. Perhaps they counted one by one and recorded numbers by carving lines on a bone. 一 二 三 四 The earliest evidence of this is the Ishango Bone（伊尚戈骨）， which was found in 1950 in Africa. The bone is believed to be more than 20，000 years old. It has many lines on it. The lines look like what we would call “tally marks” today. Scientists think those lines show how ancient people used numbers. 一 二 三 四 （　B　）36. According to the article， we still DON’T know  　　　　. A. the basic facts about numbers B. where numbers come from C. how to count with numbers D. the importance of numbers B 一 二 三 四 （　D　）37. Why is the development of numbers a puzzle？ A. Because people today are not smart enough to find it out. B. Because people today are not interested in ways of counting. C. Because ancient people didn’t want to develop a way of counting. D. Because ancient people didn’t record their ways of counting at all. （　B　）38. Where was the Ishango Bone found？ A. In China. B. In Africa. C. In Egypt. D. In India. D B 一 二 三 四 （　C　）39. Which picture best stands for the phrase “tally marks” mentioned in the last paragraph？ A. B. C. D. C 一 二 三 四 （　C　）40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？ A. The Ishango Bone was found 20，000 years ago. B. There are many numbers on the Ishango Bone. C. Numbers are important for society’s development. D. Ancient people carved lines on the stones as a way of counting. C 一 二 三 四 第二节　阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳 选项。 A. So in 1999 we began to use eleven digits. B. The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. C. You may find it hard to remember your number. D. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. E. Sometimes you may find the owners of some phone numbers change. 一 二 三 四 Have you ever counted the number of digits（数字） in your mobile phone number？ Your number has eleven digits.  　41　 That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that？  　42　 Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you the mobile phone service provider. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered（注册）. And the last four digits are random（随机的）. 一 二 三 四 We use eleven digits because China has the most people in the world. We once had ten numbers. But later there were not enough numbers for us to use.  　43　 That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Mobile phone numbers can be used again. People can stop using their phone numbers. Then usually， the service provider will reuse the phone numbers after three to six months.  　4411　 一 二 三 四 Besides China， Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0.  　45　 Countries like the United States， Australia and India use phone numbers with ten digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest—only seven digits. 41. 　　　42. 　　　43. 　　　44. ⁠　　　 45. ⁠ C　 B　 A　 E　 D　 一 二 三 四 四、 写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节　语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形 式，每空限填一词。 In ancient times， when a man wanted to tell how many animals he h 　46　， he had no system of numbers to use. He put a stone into a bag for each animal. The more animals he owned， the m 　47　 stones he put into the bag. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus”. “Calculus” means “stone”. 一 二 三 四 Then， people used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count， but they still had no words to tell the numbers， s 　48　 they could not write the numbers down. L 　49　 on， people used fingers. Again， we have the word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”！ The fact that we have 10 fingers led to the use of 10 in the system of n 　50　. 46. 　　　47. 　　　48. 　　　49. ⁠　　　 50. ⁠ had　 more　 so　 Later　 numbers　 一 二 三 四 第二节　完成句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。（每空限填一词） 51. 她努力学习以便能通过考试。 She studied hard she could pass the exam. 52. 很早之前，人们只能使用油灯来照明。 ， people could only use oil lamps for lighting. so　 that　 A　 long　 time　 ago　 一 二 三 四 53. 老师让我们把黑板上的家庭作业抄写下来。 The teacher asked us to the homework on the blackboard. 54. 我喜欢吃水果，比如苹果、梨、葡萄等等。 I like eating fruits， like apples， pears， grapes ⁠. 55. 这个森林里面有成千上万棵树。 There are trees in this forest. copy　 down　 and　 so　 on　 thousands　 of　 一 二 三 四 第三节　书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 56. 假设老师对你们班的学生进行了一项有关学生假期活动的调查，下 面图表显示的是你们班的调查结果。 请根据该图表写一份调查报告， 并谈谈你自己的想法。 一 二 三 四 要求：（1） 不少于80词； （2） 文中不得出现真实姓名和校名； （3） 可适当增加细节，以使条理清楚、行文连贯； （4） 标点正确，书面整洁。 参考词汇： chat 聊天； voluntary work 义务性工作 一 二 三 四 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠  　Our teacher made a survey of students’ activities on holidays recently in our class. 30 per cent of the students study by themselves or read books during the holidays.
