It is convenient to travel for people especially for American. Cars were widely used by American thanks to Henry Ford. He produced a simple car called the Model T. He sold the car at a low price that many Americans could afford. The car was easy to operate and became part of everyday life in the United States. Henry Ford put America on wheels. Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863. He grew up on a farm, but he disliked farm work. He liked machines. At the age of 16, Ford got a job in a machine shop. In his spare time, he built engines. After years of experiments, Ford produced his first car in 1896. Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. Ford wanted to produce large numbers of cars at low cost. He brought out the first Model T in 1908. Ford set up factories that could make cars fast. As cars were being built on a line, each worker along the line did one set of tasks, on car after car. Workers often found their work boring. Many of them left after a short time. To keep his workers, Ford doubled the pay for his workers. Ford started a charity, the Ford Foundation in 1936. When Ford died in 1947, he left most of his money to the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation is still giving money to help poor countries and poor areas. 31.

It is different from the Arabic number system with a base 10. The Mayan system had a base 20. This system is believed to have been used because the Mayans lived in such a warm area and there was hardly a need to wear shoes. 20 was the total number of fingers and toes, so the system was workable. Therefore, there were two important numbers in this system. Besides 20, the other important number is 5, which had a connection with the number of fingers and toes on one hand or foot. The Mayan system used two symbols (符号). A dot (.) was used to mean the units (one to four) and a dash (—) meant five. The Mayans were also the first to create symbols of nothing (or zero). The most common symbol was that of a shell () but there were several other symbols (e.g. a head) . It is interesting to learn that with all of the great experts on Maths and scientists in ancient Greece and Rome, it was the Mayan Indians who came up with this symbol zero or nothing. The following picture is a form of different numbers and how they would have been written. From further study, people found that the 360 day calendar (日历) also came from the Mayan. They actually used base 18 when they made the calendar. Each month included 20 days with 18 months in a year. This left five days at the end of the year which was month in itself, full of danger and bad luck. In this way, the Mayans had invented the 365 day calendar. 36. What does the underlined “It” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The European number system. B. The Mayan number system. C. The Arabic number system. D. The Mayan symbol system. 37. Why could the Mayan system be used at that time? A. People lived in such a warm area that they didn’t need to count numbers. B. People believed that they hardly used their fingers or toes to count numbers. C. People thought the number of fingers and toes was enough to count numbers. D. People found that they could use the days in a year of a calendar to count numbers. 38. Which of the following symbols means sixteen? A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the article? A. The Mayan number system had a base 10. B. All number systems had the same symbols. C. There were only 360 days in the Mayan calendar. D. The symbol of zero first appeared in the Mayan number system. 40. Where can you probably find the article? A. A diary. B. An encyclopedia. C. A travel guide. D. A geography magazine. (C) As we know, Beijing has changed a lot. Most of people feel much safer now. More and more trees are planted in the city. And every day you can see many old people play sports everywhere.

Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863. He grew up on a farm, but he disliked farm work. He liked machines. At the age of 16, Ford got a job in a machine shop. In his spare time, he built engines. After years of experiments, Ford produced his first car in 1896. Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. Ford wanted to produce large numbers of cars at low cost. He brought out the first Model T in 1908. Ford set up factories that could make cars fast. As cars were being built on a line, each worker along the line did one set of tasks, on car after car. Workers often found their work boring. Many of them left after a short time. To keep his workers, Ford doubled the pay for his workers. Ford started a charity, the Ford Foundation in 1936. When Ford died in 1947, he left most of his money to the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation is still giving money to help poor countries and poor areas. 31.

It is different from the Arabic number system with a base 10. The Mayan system had a base 20. This system is believed to have been used because the Mayans lived in such a warm area and there was hardly a need to wear shoes. 20 was the total number of fingers and toes, so the system was workable. Therefore, there were two important numbers in this system. Besides 20, the other important number is 5, which had a connection with the number of fingers and toes on one hand or foot. The Mayan system used two symbols (符号). A dot (.) was used to mean the units (one to four) and a dash (—) meant five. The Mayans were also the first to create symbols of nothing (or zero). The most common symbol was that of a shell () but there were several other symbols (e.g. a head) . It is interesting to learn that with all of the great experts on Maths and scientists in ancient Greece and Rome, it was the Mayan Indians who came up with this symbol zero or nothing. The following picture is a form of different numbers and how they would have been written. From further study, people found that the 360 day calendar (日历) also came from the Mayan. They actually used base 18 when they made the calendar. Each month included 20 days with 18 months in a year. This left five days at the end of the year which was month in itself, full of danger and bad luck. In this way, the Mayans had invented the 365 day calendar. 36. What does the underlined “It” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The European number system. B. The Mayan number system. C. The Arabic number system. D. The Mayan symbol system. 37. Why could the Mayan system be used at that time? A. People lived in such a warm area that they didn’t need to count numbers. B. People believed that they hardly used their fingers or toes to count numbers. C. People thought the number of fingers and toes was enough to count numbers. D. People found that they could use the days in a year of a calendar to count numbers. 38. Which of the following symbols means sixteen? A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the article? A. The Mayan number system had a base 10. B. All number systems had the same symbols. C. There were only 360 days in the Mayan calendar. D. The symbol of zero first appeared in the Mayan number system. 40. Where can you probably find the article? A. A diary. B. An encyclopedia. C. A travel guide. D. A geography magazine. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要阐述的是数字的起源和数字的不同体系。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The Mayan number system appeared in the fourth century...It is different from the Arabic number system with a base 10. The Mayan system had a base 20.”可知，代词“It”指代的是“The Mayan number system”，故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This system is believed to have been used because the Mayans lived in such a warm area and there was hardly a need to wear shoes. 20 was the total number of fingers and toes, so the system was workable.”可知，玛雅数字系统之所以能够使用，是因为人们认为手指和脚趾的总数足够计数，故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A dot (.) was used to mean the units (one to four) and a dash (—) meant five.”可知，数字16由3个“5”和1个“1”组成，所以需要3个“—”和1个“.”，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Mayans were also the first to create symbols of nothing (or zero).”可知，零的符号最早出现在玛雅数字系统。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要阐述的是数字的起源和数字的不同体系，所以在百科全书中出现比较恰当，故选B。 (C) As we know, Beijing has changed a lot.
