Ontario Science Centre At Ontario Science Centre, there’s no room for boredom with the exciting and endless interactive activities and programs. Special exhibits and entertaining live performances continue to amaze minds full of curiosity. The Family Innovative Centre challenges families to be more creative in their problem solving. Muskoka Heritage Place Spend a day at Muskoka Museum, Muskoka Pioneer Village, Rotary Village Station and Portage Flyer Train. Discover the history of Huntsville and the native people at the museum. Next, take a 3-minute train ride along the Muskoka River to Fairy Lake Station aboard the vintage Portage Flyer Train. Tour guides at the Pioneer Village help recreate the way of life in the area over 100 years ago. Simcoe County Museum Simcoe County Museum is the perfect combination between exciting family-friendly exhibits and a true learning experience. It is filled with all kinds of tools to sharpen young minds. Check the daily programming schedule for available activities. Toronto Railway Museum Take your family to a full day exploring the Toronto Railway Museum, located minutes from the CN Tower in Toronto’s historic Roundhouse Park. Beyond learning about the history of Canadian railroads, you can also take an exciting ride on the mini train with your little ones. Be sure to visit the gift shop, which is filled with fun train-themed toys, so your family can remember your day at the roundhouse. 1. What can you do at Ontario Science Centre? A. Buy some special train-themed toys. B. Discover the history of Huntsville. C. Try solving problems creatively. D. Take a 30-minute train ride in the centre. 2. What should you do before going to Simcoe County Museum? A. Get a passport to the museum. B. Make sure its environment is safe and clean. C. Make sure it is internationally recognized. D. Find out what activities are available. 3. Which museum is close to CN Tower? A. Ontario Science Centre. B. Toronto Railway Museum. C. Simcoe County Museum. D. Muskoka Heritage Place. B A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers—74,470, 70,809, 98,402—and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly. The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problems. From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My normal solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry (几何学). But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device (设备), and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to move in step. My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once confused her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence. 4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To prove the difficulty of math. B. To introduce the topic of the abacus. C. To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D. To stress the importance of abacus learning. 5. What do we know about the author from paragraph 3? A. He was weak in math. B. He was good at computer. C. He regarded math as useful. D. He had a close relationship with kids. 6. What does the author realize from his learning experience? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Faith can move mountains. D. Practice makes perfect. 7. What is the best title for the text? A How I develop confidence B. The secret to my success C. The power of abacus D. A rough ride—learning math 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 必修一 unit1 reading重点词汇精讲 Realizing your potential Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school!

She answered most of the problems correctly.(对于每一个问题，她都闭上眼睛，然后她右手的手指开始移动。她正确地回答了大部分问题)”以及第二段“The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus.(她成功的关键是一种叫做算盘的古老技术)”可推知，第一段的主要目的是引出算盘这个主题。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skills on the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads, so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who held some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear of math. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.(通过观察史蒂文森，我知道掌握珠算技能不仅仅是数珠子，所以我决定和我的两个女儿报名参加一个珠算课程，看看我们是否也能提高我们的数学技能。我是许多对数学有疑虑的人之一，我对数学有一丝恐惧。我的典型解决方案是回避，如果我必须计算一个百分比变化，我会上网)”可推知，作者的数学不好。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry. But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus.(经过几节算盘课和大量的练习，数学似乎没那么可怕了。我没有成为欧几里得，几何学的奠基人。但这种做法消除了我对数字的恐惧。这是一种久经考验的算盘的力量)”可推知，作者从他的学习经历中意识到熟能生巧。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once confused her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence. (我的孩子们也收获了很多。我最小的女儿能解出那些曾经把她弄糊涂的数学题，而我的大女儿则把她的算盘带到学校给她的同学和老师看。这些对他们来说只是小的成功，但这就是他们如何最终建立起信心的)”可知，这些小小的成功是他们最终建立信心的方式。A项“How I develop confidence(我是如何培养自信的)”为最好的标题。故选A。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
