But few of us know zero has an unusual history. At first, there were only the numbers one to nine. Zero was first shown in India about 2,000 years ago. Then, thanks to global trade (全球贸易), zero was brought out of India. It became an Arabic number. During the 13th century, Arabic numbers were introduced into the West. However, Westerners would like to use Roman numbers (I, V, X...). Arabic numbers were not popular, especially zero. Because there was no zero in Roman numbers, bad traders could easily turn a “0” into a “6” or a “9”. Therefore, some people believed zero would cause trouble. Also, many Roman people thought zero was an unlucky number, because it was close to numbers like -1, -2... It was not until the 15th century that zero was fully accepted. Traders played an important role. Just think about doing calculations by using Roman numbers. You can hardly do any trade, can you? Today, zero won’t be known as an unlucky number any more. Instead, people believe that zero shows the beauty of math and shapes the modern world in many ways. 31. Who first used the number zero? A. Arabs. B. Indians. C. Romans. 32. What is the correct order of zero’s development? ①Zero was brought into the western countries. ②Zero was shown in India about 2,000 years ago. ③Zero was used out of India and became an Arabic number. A. ②①③ B. ②③① C. ③①② 33. Why did many Romans think the number zero unlucky? A. Because it always caused trouble. B. Because it was close to negative numbers. C. Because it didn’t show the beauty of math. 34. Who played an important role in zero’s development in the 15th century? A. B. C. 35. Which topic will the writer discuss in the following passage? A. How zero is used in AI. B. Stories about zero in China. C. Famous scientists who discovered zero. 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. B 34. A 35.

Traders played an important role.”可知，在15世纪，商人在零的接受过程中起到了重要作用。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Instead, people believe that zero shows the beauty of math and shapes the modern world in many ways.”可知，作者可能会继续讨论零在现代世界中的应用或影响。选项A“零在人工智能中是如何使用的。”与文章结尾的讨论方向相符。故选A。 Part B (50 scores) Read the following passage and complete the blanks with the right forms of the words given. agree compare develop difficult mean popular rest situation success stress speak through Hong Kong action movies star Daniel Wu is now teaching English online.

B Do you think AI is a better teacher than parents? Three students share their opinions. Huang Shiwen, 14, Guangxi AI helps with homework calmly, but it lacks the communication of feelings.

Cui Shenghang, 14, Sichuan I think AI is better in many ways. When I make mistakes, AI won’t get angry like my parents often do. Sometimes, AI is even smarter than my parents and can solve problems they can’t. For example, when I have a difficult math question, AI shows me an easy way to solve the problem. This helps me understand better. Shao Xinyan, 13, Hubei When I have trouble with my homework, I like asking my parents instead of AI. Sometimes, it takes me too long to explain to AI. Also, parents may share their own stories when helping with homework. It is fun to listen to their stories. I love to stay with my parents. 26.

How do parents learn from AI? C. Which is better, AI or parents? C Today, zero is a common number. But few of us know zero has an unusual history. At first, there were only the numbers one to nine. Zero was first shown in India about 2,000 years ago. Then, thanks to global trade (全球贸易), zero was brought out of India. It became an Arabic number. During the 13th century, Arabic numbers were introduced into the West. However, Westerners would like to use Roman numbers (I, V, X...). Arabic numbers were not popular, especially zero. Because there was no zero in Roman numbers, bad traders could easily turn a “0” into a “6” or a “9”. Therefore, some people believed zero would cause trouble. Also, many Roman people thought zero was an unlucky number, because it was close to numbers like -1, -2... It was not until the 15th century that zero was fully accepted. Traders played an important role. Just think about doing calculations by using Roman numbers. You can hardly do any trade, can you? Today, zero won’t be known as an unlucky number any more. Instead, people believe that zero shows the beauty of math and shapes the modern world in many ways. 31. Who first used the number zero? A. Arabs. B. Indians. C. Romans. 32. What is the correct order of zero’s development? ①Zero was brought into the western countries. ②Zero was shown in India about 2,000 years ago. ③Zero was used out of India and became an Arabic number. A. ②①③ B. ②③① C. ③①② 33. Why did many Romans think the number zero unlucky? A. Because it always caused trouble. B Because it was close to negative numbers. C. Because it didn’t show the beauty of math. 34. Who played an important role in zero’s development in the 15th century? A. B. C. 35. Which topic will the writer discuss in the following passage? A. How zero is used in AI. B. Stories about zero in China. C. Famous scientists who discovered zero.
