(A)
Do you know the numbers 0-9 well They are numbers in Arabic numbers. People use them to mark numbers now. But it’s not the only number system that people use.
About 2,500 years ago, people in Rome used their bands to count. In Roman numerals, one finger means 1, two fingers means 2, three fingers means 3, four fingers means 4. If you want to say five, you can keep your four fingers close on one side arid your thumb on the other side. Make each of your hands be five, then you ‘l1 have ten. So in Rome, the numbers are “I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X”. Also, “L,” means fifty, “C” means one hundred, “D” means five hundred and “M” means one thousand. But there is no zero in Roman numerals. Today, few people use them because they are difficult to write and count. But we can still see them on some watches and clocks.
Today, most people use the Arabic numerals. They are easy to remember and write. They help people to count things every day. In fact, Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals. In the late 8th century, people in Arabic countries learned about them. Then the Arabic people took them into Europe. So people in Europe called them Arabic numerals. Today, people around the world use Arabic numerals and they help a lot.
31. Which of the following means five in Roman numerals
A. 5. B. IV. C. V. D. X. .
32. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arabic numerals. B. Watches and clocks.
C. Zero. D. Roman numerals.
33. What do we know about Arabic numerals .
A. People in Rome didn’t use them.
B. Arabic people taught the Indians about them.
C. only Arabic people use them today.
D. “0”means “zero” in Arabic numerals,
34. Why are there few people using Roman numerals today
A. Because they are not easy to write and count.
B. because there are no Romans any more.
C. Because the numbers look stupid:
D. Because they are hard to remember.
35. In what order did the following things happen
a. Arabic people learned about Arabic numerals.
b. Indians created Arabic numerals.
c. Arabic people took Arabic numerals into Europe.
d. People all over the world use Arabic numerals.

(B)
Do you know your mobile phone number well Your number has 11 digits(数字). You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that
The 11 digits include three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you the mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation(中国移动) and 188 is for China Unicom(中国联通). The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is from. And the last four digits are random(随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits from 1999.
Eleven digits can make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Also, we can use the mobile phone numbers again. Usually, the service provider will use a canceled number again after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t called for a long time, you may find its owner has changed.
Besides Chins, Britain and Japan also use 11- digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot make as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers arc perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits.
36. What can we learn from the mobile phone .number 188- 4792-83437
A. The service provider is the China Mobile Communication Corporation
B. The digits 4792 tell you the area the mobile phone number is from.
C. There are ten digits in the mobile phone number.
D. The digits 8343 tell you the number of service providers in China
37. Why do we use 11-digit mobile phone numbers in China
A. There are many people in China.
B. People in China can remember numbers well.
C.11 is a lucky number for Chinese people.
D. It helps people to remember more phone numbers
38. What does the underlined word “canceled” mean in Chinese
A. 新型的 B. 己撤销的 C. 有用的 D. 特殊的
39. ________ can make the most mobile phone numbers.
A 10 digits starting with 1 B.11 digits starting with 0
C.11 digits starting with 1 D.10 digits starting with 0
40. Which countries use phone numbers with 10 digits
A. Britain and Japan. B. Britain and China.\
C. Canada and Australia. D. India and Australia
