" "Well… yesterday, when I told her I was going on a business trip, she threatened (威胁) to kill herself. I had to take a bottle of iodine (碘) quickly from her hands because she was about to drink it.

B There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away. The universe （宇宙） may have 200 billion trillion （万亿） stars ... As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的） tools, the numbers used are also becoming bigger. Recently, scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量）：ronna（1027）, quetta（1030）, ronto（10﹣27） and quecto（10﹣30）. Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry. Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers." While living and evolving（进化）, our ancestors（祖先）had no need to develop such a skill, " US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo. Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量）, like the number of people in the clan （族群）, or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective（进化的角度）." However, there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers. One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with. For example, if imagining 400,000 people is too hard, you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40,000 people. Then 400,000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people. Or if you have 1,000 yuan, then a millionaire (百万富翁) has 1,000 times more money than you. Needless to say, there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math', " said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers. We just can't necessarily understand the numbers throughout that process." 4. What might one quetta refer to? A.One followed by 30 zeros. B.A decimal point（小数点）followed by 26 zeros. C.One followed by 27 zeros. D.A decimal point（小数点）followed by 29 zeros. 5. According to Paragraph 3, we can learn that　 　. A.there were no large numbers in ancient times B.ancient people didn't need to understand big numbers C.human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbers D.big numbers appear throughout human evolution 6. According to the story, we can understand big numbers by　 　. A.comparing the numbers to money B.imagining how many people there are on Earth C.thinking about how many soccer stadiums we have D.turning them into something we are familiar with 7. What can we infer from the story? A.Math is the best subject for us to understand the world. B.People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations. C.Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated. D.Calculations help us deal with large numbers. 4． 信息还原 Fires can strike unexpectedly, posing a great threat to our safety. As middle school students, we must be prepared for such emergencies and know how to protect ourselves. Here are some tips to help you stay safe in a fire. Be fully prepared Firstly, we should always be aware of the warning signs, 36 However, don't overlook signs that are not easy to notice, like a burning smell or flickering lights. If you notice any of these, act quickly and don't delay, Moreover, familiarize(使……熟悉) yourself with the escape routes(逃生路线). 37 Regular fire drills(演习) can help you learn how to go through these routes efficiently. Practise them seriously, as they can save your life in a real emergency. 38 In a fire, remember to stay low to the ground. Smoke rises, making the air near the floor cleaner. Crawl(匍匐前进) on your hands and knees, using a wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose. 39 Before opening any doors, feel them with the back of your hand, lf a door feels hot, it may lead directly to the fire. Open it slowly and check for smoke or flames before going forward, Remember: safety first, always. Call for help Once you've safely exited the building, call the emergency services immediately. Gather with your family or classmates at a predetermined(顸先确定的) safe location. Avoid using elevators and never go back inside the building. 40 In conclusion, knowing what to do in a fire emergency can make a difference between life and death. A. Follow safety instructions B. Prepare an escape plan in advance C. Stay calm and wait for further notice, D. Run away as soon as you get out of your building. E. This will help you avoid breathing in harmful gases. F. Know at least two ways to exit each room and your entire building. G. The smell of smoke or the sight of flames is an immediate sign of danger. 5． 综合填空 On January 2nd, 2025，an earthquake hit Yinchuan, Ningxia.
