Indoor Clouds 第 7 页 共 10 An artist, Smilde, managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine.

Four Famous Inventions C. The Advantages of Four Inventions D. Four Dreams of the Future D How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you count on your fingers? Or do you use ten different words? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers(食指). They then extend(伸出) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat(重复) this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand gestures to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. In a similar study, scientists discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees” or “many trees”. They don’t count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up. Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. 第 8 页 共 10 ( ) 61.

Which of following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians? A. They have only a few words for numbers. B. They have hand gestures to stand for numbers. C. They can only count to five on their fingers. D. They can understand different ideas about numbers. ( ) 64. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that A. people worldwide know how to count B. the tribe has words for numbers C. the tribe is not smart enough to count D. counting is useless in its culture ( ) 65. Which part of a newspaper can we read the passage? A. Culture. B. Education. C. People. D. History. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使 短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） E During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong asked the officer Feng Deyi to look for talented people(能人) for him. 66 “I tried my best, but there are not unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said. “People are like tools(工具). What we need to do is to make good use of their strong points. 67 How could you say that there are no talented people now?” said the Emperor. As we all know, each tool has a special use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. 68 Like a tool, each person has a special strongpoint. Anyone can be good at something. With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important positions, which helped them make the most of their talents. 69 Ma helped deal with difficult situations and gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a really high position. 70 So, learn to notice those “common people” around you, and you may be able to find some talents. A. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. B. You should be ashamed(羞愧的) of yourself for not noticing talented people. C. However, several months passed, and Feng still didn’t find anyone. D. A good example is Prime Minister(宰相) Ma Zhou who grew up in a poor family. E. Together, Ma and the other talented people helped create a “golden age” in Chinese history.

Four Famous Inventions C. The Advantages of Four Inventions D. Four Dreams of the Future D How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you count on your fingers? Or do you use ten different words? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers(食指). They then extend(伸出) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat(重复) this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand gestures to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. In a similar study, scientists discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees” or “many trees”. They don’t count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up. Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. 第 8 页 共 10 ( ) 61.

What we need to do is to make good use of their strong points. 67 How could you say that there are no talented people now?” said the Emperor. As we all know, each tool has a special use.

With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important positions, which helped them make the most of their talents. 69 Ma helped deal with difficult situations and gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a really high position. 70 So, learn to notice those “common people” around you, and you may be able to find some talents. A. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. B. You should be ashamed(羞愧的) of yourself for not noticing talented people. C. However, several months passed, and Feng still didn’t find anyone. D.

Dear Editor， I'm glad to be invited to join this program. With the rapid development of science and technology，AI becomes more and more popular in our daily life. Al can chat with people. And it can help people solve problems. Besides，it can design pictures in a short time. However，it also has many disadvantages. If we always depend on it, it will make us think less. What’s worse, it will reduce people's job opportunities. In my opinion，each coin has two sides. We must master more technology and use it properly at the same time. 复习卷选择题答案 1-5 BABBA 6-10 BBBBB 11-15 ACBCA 16-20 ABACB 21 C 第 1 页 共 3 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
