Roman numbers are the number system with hundreds of years'history.They were created by the
Romans with seven letters:I,V,X,L,C,D and M.Their meanings are as follows.
IV
Hand signals(手势)may tell us how Roman numbers were invented.“I”,a single line,is one
finger,and“V”means five fingers..“X”is two hands showing two fives with thumbs(拇指)crossed,
like the shape“X”.
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important.There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value,you use subtraction.For example,IV is 4 and XC
is90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value,you add them.For example,XII equals
12;CXIII means 113.
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.People used them in everyday
business,engineering and maths.People in Europe kept using them until the 15th century.Later,
.74
people realized the Arabic numbers were easier when they had to calculate larger numbers.Also,zero
was not in the Roman number system.It was a big problem in maths.
However,Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.In the
names of streets and buildings,you can also see them.Subjects like chemistry and music might still use
them.Besides,they are used to refer to kings and queens,such as Queen Elizabeth II.While they are
not the main number system in modern maths,they are still around us.
()5.Which of the following stands for“subtraction”in Paragraph4?
A十
B.。
c.
D.
()6.What does the Roman number LXXII mean?
A.28
B.32
C.68
D.72
()7.Why were Roman numbers important in Roman times?
A.Because they were easier than the Arabic numbers.
B.Because Europeans had to calculate larger numbers.
C.Because people widely used them in their daily life.
D.Because the number zero brought a problem to maths.
()8.What does“they”in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Arabic numbers.
B.Roman numbers.
C.Subjects like music.
D.Watches and clocks.

When to give a housewarming gift?The best time to give a housewarming gift is within the first three

Global climate change is a very important problem nowadays.The world is getting warmer and
warmer.We can feel that the temperature is rising and in some places,the ice in high mountains is
melting ()How can we slow down the melt?Some scientists are trying to solve the problem.
Wearing“clothes”
In the 1990s,people in Switzerland put white "blankets"on ski areas.
The white color can not only reflect (the sunshine but also keep the
ice cool.The blankets are made of wool,as a result that rain can go through
the blankets and become ice.It can slow down the melt by about 50%to
70%.Today,the "blankets"in Switzerland cover 10,000 to 50,000 square meters of ice.
Painting the rocks
Farmers in the Andes Mountains in Peru use a similar idea.Above 5,000 meters,they paint the
rocks with white "paint".The paint is made of water,sand and soap.The soap helps it stick to the
.76
rocks.The white rocks can be 16C cooler than the dark rocks.
Creating snow(造雪)
Scientists in an organization called Glaciers Alive turn to man-made snow for help in Switzerland.In
winter,they use water from a small lake up in the mountain.The water goes down some pipes.On the
pipes,there are shower heads.The water flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain.
If everyone can understand the importance of protecting the Earth and take action at once,it will
make a difference to the world.
()13.Why did people make the blankets white?
A.The white color has the feel of wool.
B.Rain can go through white blankets easily.
C.They want the blankets to look like the ice.
D.The white color helps the ice get less sunshine.
()14.From the passage we can know_
A.the ice flows out from the pipes and becomes snow on the mountain
B.the white color can not only reflect the sunshine but also keep the ice warm
C.the "blankets"in Switzerland cover 1,000 to 50,000 square meters of ice
D.the paint that farmers in the Andes Mountains use is made of water,sand and soap
()15.What do scientists from Glaciers Alive do to slow down the melt?
A.They use water to create snow in winter.
B.They paint the rocks in Switzerland white.
C.They use small lakes to keep snow and ice.
D.They move rain up on the mountain with pipes.
()16.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.People should make better use of the sunshine.
B.People from different countries are working in a team.
C.People are working hard to keep high mountains cool.
D.People are trying to stop the world from getting cooler.
