A number system is a set of symbols to show numbers. Kinds of Numbers Numbers can be divided in many ways. The simplest one is the natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...). With the addition of 0, these are known as the whole numbers. The natural numbers are also called positive numbers because they are greater than 0. There are also negative numbers (-1, -2, -3, ...). They are less than 0. Ancient Number Systems The first system of numbers was probably the tally system. In this system, a mark was made for everything being counted. This system was useful only with small numbers. Later, the ancient Egyptians developed a system for writing large numbers in symbols. The ancient Romans used letters to show numbers—I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1,000. In the Roman system, 256 is written as CCLVI. Base-ten and Other Systems The most common number system used today is called the base-ten, or decimal system. It has 10 figures (0—9) that can be used to write any number. The base-ten system was invented by Hindus. Later, Arabs improved the system. For this reason the figures 0—9 are called Hindu-Arabic numerals. In the base-ten system, the value of each figure is based on its “place” in a number. There is a “ones place,” a “tens place,” a “hundreds place,” and so on. For some purposes other number systems are more useful than base-ten. For example, computers use the base-two, or binary, number system. Instead of 10 figures, this system uses only two—0 and 1. (See more Binary Number System Example) 38. Which of the following numbers is a natural number? A. 0. B. 1. C. -2. D. -0.5. 39. How can we write “1151” in Roman numerals? A. DCLL. B. MCLI. C. CCXI. D. MCXI. 40. What is in common between the base-ten number system and base-two number system? A. Each system has its own base. B. Only the base-ten system has different “places” in a number. C. People developed them to count bigger numbers. D. They are made for people to use with computers. 41. Where is the passage most probably from? A. An encyclopedia. B. An exercise book. C. A quiz paper. D. A storybook. 【答案】38. B 39. B 40. A 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了数字的分类、古代数字系统以及现代常用的十进制和二进制系统。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据 “The simplest one is the natural numbers (1, 2, 3, …).”可知，自然数是从1开始的正整数。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据 “I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1,000”及示例“256 is written as CCLVI”可知，罗马数字通过字母组合表示数值。1151=1000 (M)+100 (C) + 50 (L) + 1 (I)，即MCLI。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据 “The most common number system… is called the base-ten…It has 10 figures (0—9)”和“computers use the base-two… this system uses only two—0 and 1”可知，两种系统均以“基数”为基础，十进制基数为10，二进制基数为2。故选A。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。全文以客观、科普的方式介绍数字系统，涵盖历史、分类和应用，符合百科全书的知识性、系统性特点。故选A。 (D) Bi Sheng was a great Chinese inventor who lived in the 11th century. He came from a poor family. But he had a great interest in learning and making things. In those times, books were copied by hand with great difficulty. It was a very slow and hard task. Bi Sheng often saw that and thought there must be a better way. One day, while walking in the street, Bi Sheng noticed two children were making little toys like people and pigs out of the mud and putting them in different orders. This gave Bi Sheng a great idea. He thought that he could make the character first and then put them in orders like the mud toys. After much thought and experiments, Bi Sheng decided to use clay. He carefully pressed the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. Then, he put these clay pieces into a fire to make them hard. Then he put the clay characters in an iron frame (框架) to form a passage. After that, ink was put on the clay characters. A piece of paper was placed on the top and the inked characters appeared on it with gentle press. After printing, the clay characters can be kept and reused. This movable type printing (活字印刷术) made making books much quicker and easier. People could get books more easily. However, some people didn’t believe in this new invention. But Bi Sheng didn’t give up and kept making it better. Today, this type of printing still has a big influence not only in China but also in other places. It shows us that with creativity and hard work, we can also do great things and make the world a better place. 42. The underlined word “character” in paragraph 2 means ________. A. word B. personality C. role D. quality 43. Which of the following shows the correct steps of the moveable type printing. a. Press the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. b.

(C) Numbers are used for counting, and comparing amounts. A number system is a set of symbols to show numbers. Kinds of Numbers Numbers can be divided in many ways. The simplest one is the natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...). With the addition of 0, these are known as the whole numbers. The natural numbers are also called positive numbers because they are greater than 0. There are also negative numbers (-1, -2, -3, ...). They are less than 0. Ancient Number Systems The first system of numbers was probably the tally system. In this system, a mark was made for everything being counted. This system was useful only with small numbers. Later, the ancient Egyptians developed a system for writing large numbers in symbols. The ancient Romans used letters to show numbers—I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1,000. In the Roman system, 256 is written as CCLVI. Base-ten and Other Systems The most common number system used today is called the base-ten, or decimal system. It has 10 figures (0—9) that can be used to write any number. The base-ten system was invented by Hindus. Later, Arabs improved the system. For this reason the figures 0—9 are called Hindu-Arabic numerals. In the base-ten system, the value of each figure is based on its “place” in a number. There is a “ones place,” a “tens place,” a “hundreds place,” and so on. For some purposes other number systems are more useful than base-ten. For example computers use the base-two, or binary, number system. Instead of 10 figures, this system uses only two—0 and 1. (See more Binary Number System Example) 38. Which of the following numbers is a natural number? A. 0. B. 1. C. -2. D. -0.5. 39. How can we write “1151” in Roman numerals? A DCLL. B. MCLI. C. CCXI. D. MCXI. 40. What is in common between the base-ten number system and base-two number system? A. Each system has its own base. B. Only the base-ten system has different “places” in a number. C. People developed them to count bigger numbers. D. They are made for people to use with computers. 41. Where is the passage most probably from? A. An encyclopedia. B. An exercise book. C. A quiz paper. D. A storybook. (D) Bi Sheng was a great Chinese inventor who lived in the 11th century. He came from a poor family. But he had a great interest in learning and making things. In those times books were copied by hand with great difficulty. It was a very slow and hard task. Bi Sheng often saw that and thought there must be a better way. One day, while walking in the street, Bi Sheng noticed two children were making little toys like people and pigs out of the mud and putting them in different orders. This gave Bi Sheng a great idea. He thought that he could make the character first and then put them in orders like the mud toys. After much thought and experiments, Bi Sheng decided to use clay. He carefully pressed the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. Then, he put these clay pieces into a fire to make them hard. Then he put the clay characters in an iron frame (框架) to form a passage. After that, ink was put on the clay characters. A piece of paper was placed on the top and the inked characters appeared on it with gentle press. After printing, the clay characters can be kept and reused. This movable type printing (活字印刷术) made making books much quicker and easier. People could get books more easily. However, some people didn’t believe in this new invention. But Bi Sheng didn’t give up and kept making it better. Today, this type of printing still has a big influence not only in China but also in other places. It shows us that with creativity and hard work, we can also do great things and make the world a better place. 42. The underlined word “character” in paragraph 2 means ________. A. word B. personality C. role D. quality 43. Which of the following shows the correct steps of the moveable type printing. a. Press the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. b. Put the clay characters in an iron frame. c. Ink was put on the clay characters. Place a piece of paper on the inked characters and press it gently! d. After printing, keep and reuse the clay characters. e. Make the clay characters hard by putting them into a fire. A. a-e-b-c-d B. e-a-b-d-c C. a-b-e-d-c D. e-a-d-c-b 44. According to the passage, what kind of person is Bi Sheng? A. Independent and active. B. Creative and hard-working. C. Friendly and polite. D. Honest and helpful. 45. What is probably the best title of the passage? A. Bi Sheng, a Great Inventor. B. The Great Chinese Inventions. C. Bi Sheng and His Great Invention. D. Different ways of Printing in China. 第二节（每题1分，共5题，共5分） 阅读填空 In the ancient Ming Dynasty of China, there lived an emperor named Zhu Di. ___46___ He wanted to create a book with all the knowledge and wisdom of his time.
