Origins in India Contrary to what the name suggests, Arabic numerals trace their roots to India. The concept of Arabic numerals first emerged in India around the 6th century. Indian mathematicians developed a decimal (base-10) positional system, allowing for the representation of numbers using only ten symbols. The inclusion of zero as a placeholder was revolutionary, for it enabled the representation of large numbers and simplified arithmetic mixed operations. Transmission to the Arab World During the 8th and 9th centuries, Indian scholars and traders introduced their numeral system to the Islamic world. Arab mathematicians, like Al-Khwarizmi, recognized the potential of this system and began using it. His influential book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals played a crucial role in its adoption and spread within the Islamic world. Introduction to Europe Arabic numerals reached Europe via Arab scholars and traders in the 10th and 11th centuries. The Italian mathematician Fibonacci greatly helped promote their use in Europe. In his book Liber Abaci (1202), Fibonacci detailed the system and demonstrated its advantages over Roman numerals, particularly for accounting and commerce. Over time, the system gained wider acceptance. Global Adoption By the 15th century, Arabic numerals had become the standard in Europe. Through exploration, trade, and colonization, they spread worldwide. Today, they are the universal standard for numerical representation, used in our daily lives. In the final analysis, because they are simple and efficient, they’ve made their way around the modern world. 21．Where was the Arabic numeral system originally developed? A．Europe. B．Ancient India. C．The Arab world. D．The Islamic region. 22．Who played a key role in popularizing Arabic numerals to Europe? A．Indian merchants. B．Al-Khwarizmi. C．Fibonacci. D．Arab scholars. 23．What is the fundamental reason for the global dominance of Arabic numerals? A．Effective promotion by famous scholars. B．The revolutionary role of the number zero. C．Global spread through trade and contact. D．Their essential simplicity and efficiency. Passage 2 （2026·河南南阳·二模） Ancient Civilizations and Ruins Machu Picchu Machu Picchu, site of ancient Inca ruins located about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Cuzco, Peru, in the Cordillera de Vilcabamba of the Andes Mountains. It is situated above the Urubamba River valley in a narrow ridge between two sharp peaks — Machu Picchu (“Old Peak”) and Huayna Picchu (“New Peak”) — at an elevation of 7,710 feet (2,350 meters). One of the few major pre-Columbian ruins found nearly complete, Machu Picchu was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. The Maya At its height, the Maya empire extended throughout the Yucatán Peninsula, modern-day Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Mexico, making it one of the most dominant civilizations of its time. The Maya were quite advanced, demonstrating remarkable engineering skills and employing complex mathematics. The civilization appeared unable to sustain itself and experienced a dramatic decline about 900 CE. Archeologists now believe that the Maya were victims of ongoing war coupled with climate change that resulted in extreme hunger, forcing a mass departure from their largest cities. Destruction of the countryside, resulting in decreasing resources, may also have played a role. The Khmer empire On the other side of the world, the Khmer empire had spread across modern-day Cambodia. Angkor was one of the civilization’s largest cities, with an extensive system of roads and canals and an estimated population of as many as one million people. The Khmer empire was at its height between 1000 and 1200 CE, and experts are unsure what caused the civilization to disappear, leaving its cities at the mercy of the continuous jungle. Theories range from war to environmental disaster. The Indus civilization The Indus civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, was one of the largest in ancient history, extending over parts of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and containing as many as five million people. At its height, the civilization boasted some of the world’s most impressive architecture, among other achievements. It disappeared approximately 3,000 years ago for reasons unknown. One theory suggests that it fell victim to climate change that resulted in drought and starvation. 21．Which civilization is described as one of the largest in ALL of ancient history? A．The Maya, due to its wide geographical spread B．The Indus, for its scale across three modern countries C．The Khmer, because of its one-million-strong city D．The Inca, as Machu Picchu survived nearly complete 22．For which civilization do experts directly say they cannot explain its disappearance? A．The Khmer, as no agreed cause has been found B．The Indus, since all records were lost long ago C．The Maya, because war destroyed all written evidence D．The Inca, given Machu Picchu was found nearly intact 23．What theme applies to ALL four civilizations described in the passage? A．They were recognized by international heritage organizations B．They all collapsed primarily because of climate change C．They demonstrated outstanding engineering achievements D．They each rose to power and eventually disappeared Passage 3 （2026·河南郑州·二模） Words at Your Fingertips The Long Journey of English This book takes us on a journey through the history of English to show how it grew to be the global phenomenon that we know today.

Origins in India Contrary to what the name suggests, Arabic numerals trace their roots to India. The concept of Arabic numerals first emerged in India around the 6th century. Indian mathematicians developed a decimal (base-10) positional system, allowing for the representation of numbers using only ten symbols. The inclusion of zero as a placeholder was revolutionary, for it enabled the representation of large numbers and simplified arithmetic mixed operations. Transmission to the Arab World During the 8th and 9th centuries, Indian scholars and traders introduced their numeral system to the Islamic world. Arab mathematicians, like Al-Khwarizmi, recognized the potential of this system and began using it. His influential book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals played a crucial role in its adoption and spread within the Islamic world. Introduction to Europe Arabic numerals reached Europe via Arab scholars and traders in the 10th and 11th centuries. The Italian mathematician Fibonacci greatly helped promote their use in Europe. In his book Liber Abaci (1202), Fibonacci detailed the system and demonstrated its advantages over Roman numerals, particularly for accounting and commerce. Over time, the system gained wider acceptance. Global Adoption By the 15th century, Arabic numerals had become the standard in Europe. Through exploration, trade, and colonization, they spread worldwide. Today, they are the universal standard for numerical representation, used in our daily lives. In the final analysis, because they are simple and efficient, they’ve made their way around the modern world. 21．Where was the Arabic numeral system originally developed? A．Europe. B．Ancient India. C．The Arab world. D．The Islamic region. 22．Who played a key role in popularizing Arabic numerals to Europe? A．Indian merchants. B．Al-Khwarizmi. C．Fibonacci. D．Arab scholars. 23．What is the fundamental reason for the global dominance of Arabic numerals? A．Effective promotion by famous scholars. B．The revolutionary role of the number zero. C．Global spread through trade and contact. D．Their essential simplicity and efficiency. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了阿拉伯数字的创造、传播与全球化的完整进程。 21．细节理解题。根据文章“Origins in India”部分“The concept of Arabic numerals first emerged in India around the 6th century. Indian mathematicians developed a decimal (base-10) positional system, allowing for the representation of numbers using only ten symbols.(阿拉伯数字的概念大约在公元 6 世纪起源于印度。印度的数学家们发展出了十进制（以10为基数）的位值体系，使得仅用十个符号就能表示出各种数字)”可知，阿拉伯数字起源于6世纪的印度，由印度数学家提出。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据文章“Introduction to Europe”部分中“The Italian mathematician Fibonacci greatly helped promote their use in Europe. In his book Liber Abaci (1202), Fibonacci detailed the system and demonstrated its advantages over Roman numerals, particularly for accounting and commerce.(意大利数学家斐波那契极大地促进了其在欧洲的使用。在他的著作《Liber Abaci》（1202 年）中，斐波那契详细介绍了该系统，并展示了它相较于罗马数字的诸多优势，尤其是在会计和商业领域)”可知，意大利数学家斐波那契通过《Liber Abaci》在欧洲推广阿拉伯数字。故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“In the final analysis, because they are simple and efficient, they’ve made their way around the modern world.(从根本上说，由于它们简单且高效，所以它们已经在全球范围内得到了广泛应用)”可知，阿拉伯数字成为全球标准的原因是“其简单性和高效性”。故选D。 Passage 2 （2026·河南南阳·二模） Ancient Civilizations and Ruins Machu Picchu Machu Picchu, site of ancient Inca ruins located about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Cuzco, Peru, in the Cordillera de Vilcabamba of the Andes Mountains. It is situated above the Urubamba River valley in a narrow ridge between two sharp peaks — Machu Picchu (“Old Peak”) and Huayna Picchu (“New Peak”) — at an elevation of 7,710 feet (2,350 meters). One of the few major pre-Columbian ruins found nearly complete, Machu Picchu was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. The Maya At its height, the Maya empire extended throughout the Yucatán Peninsula, modern-day Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Mexico, making it one of the most dominant civilizations of its time. The Maya were quite advanced, demonstrating remarkable engineering skills and employing complex mathematics. The civilization appeared unable to sustain itself and experienced a dramatic decline about 900 CE. Archeologists now believe that the Maya were victims of ongoing war coupled with climate change that resulted in extreme hunger, forcing a mass departure from their largest cities. Destruction of the countryside, resulting in decreasing resources, may also have played a role. The Khmer empire On the other side of the world, the Khmer empire had spread across modern-day Cambodia. Angkor was one of the civilization’s largest cities, with an extensive system of roads and canals and an estimated population of as many as one million people. The Khmer empire was at its height between 1000 and 1200 CE, and experts are unsure what caused the civilization to disappear, leaving its cities at the mercy of the continuous jungle. Theories range from war to environmental disaster. The Indus civilization The Indus civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, was one of the largest in ancient history, extending over parts of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and containing as many as five million people. At its height, the civilization boasted some of the world’s most impressive architecture, among other achievements. It disappeared approximately 3,000 years ago for reasons unknown. One theory suggests that it fell victim to climate change that resulted in drought and starvation. 21．Which civilization is described as one of the largest in ALL of ancient history? A．The Maya, due to its wide geographical spread B．The Indus, for its scale across three modern countries C．The Khmer, because of its one-million-strong city D．The Inca, as Machu Picchu survived nearly complete 22．For which civilization do experts directly say they cannot explain its disappearance? A．The Khmer, as no agreed cause has been found B．The Indus, since all records were lost long ago C．The Maya, because war destroyed all written evidence D．The Inca, given Machu Picchu was found nearly intact 23．What theme applies to ALL four civilizations described in the passage?

(印度河文明，也被称为哈拉帕文明，是古代历史上最大的文明之一，范围覆盖印度、巴基斯坦和阿富汗的部分地区，人口多达五百万)”可知，印度河文明被描述为整个古代历史上最大的文明之一，原因是其规模跨越了三个现代国家。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据The Khmer empire部分“The Khmer empire was at its height between 1000 and 1200 CE, and experts are unsure what caused the civilization to disappear, leaving its cities at the mercy of the continuous jungle. Theories range from war to environmental disaster. (高棉帝国在公元1000年至1200年达到鼎盛，专家们不确定是什么导致了该文明的消失，使其城市任由连绵的丛林侵蚀。有关其消失的原因，有战争、环境灾难等多种理论)”可知，专家直接表示无法解释高棉文明的消失，原因是尚未找到公认的原因。故选A。 23．推理判断题。根据Machu Picchu部分“One of the few major pre-Columbian ruins found nearly complete, Machu Picchu was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. (马丘比丘是为数不多的几乎完整留存的前哥伦布时期大型遗址之一，于1983年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产)”、The Maya部分“The civilization appeared unable to sustain itself and experienced a dramatic decline about 900 CE. (该文明在公元900年左右无法维系自身，经历了急剧的衰落)”、The Khmer empire部分“experts are unsure what caused the civilization to disappear (专家们不确定是什么导致了该文明的消失)”及The Indus civilization部分“It disappeared approximately 3,000 years ago for reasons unknown. (它在大约3000年前消失，原因不明)”可知，四个文明的共同主题是都曾崛起掌权，最终走向消亡。故选D。 Passage 3 （2026·河南郑州·二模） Words at Your Fingertips The Long Journey of English This book takes us on a journey through the history of English to show how it grew to be the global phenomenon that we know today.
