Kids learn to count on their fingers, because they’re so, well, handy（方便）! And it makes sense ----most number systems originally developed as people counted using their fingers.
The counting system of native Greenlanders not only uses all ten fingers, but all ten toes（脚趾） as well! Here’s how it works. The Greenlandic word for the number seven translates as, “second hand, two.” That means you count five on the first hand and add two from the second, to make seven. After you run out of fingers, go for the toes. Thirteen translates as “first foot, three”. That means you add ten fingers plus three toes.
The counting system we use has a base of ten. Larger numbers are simply multiples of ten. For example, ten tens make one hundred. We’re so used to our base ten system that it may seem like the only possibility. But the Greenlandic number system has a base of twenty, and other have a base of five. Of all the number systems ever invented, five, ten, and twenty are the most common bases.
It’s no coincidence (巧合) that these bases match the number of fingers on one hand, or two hands, or all of our fingers and toes. The connection between fingers and counting is so close that several languages have just one word means both “hand” and the number five. Even in English, the word digit describes either a number or a finger. So if anyone teases(取笑) you for counting on your fingers, just tell them you find your digits quite handy!
31.The native Greenlanders may use ________ if their fingers are not enough for counting.
A．toes B．stones C．arms D．nothing else
32.Which number translates as “second foot, one” ________.
A．6 B．11 C．16 D．21
33.The writer mentioned all the following number systems except _______.
A．a base of 2. B．a base of 5 C．a base of 10 D．a base of 20
34.What can we infer from the passage ________
A．Greenlanders are much cleverer than others.
B．The connection between fingers and counting is a coincidence.
C．Digit means five and finger in English.
D．People with the number system of Base 5 probably used one hand to count in the past.
35．What’s the best title for the passage ________.
A．The magic of numbers
B．What can we learn from Greenlandrs’ way of counting
C．It’s convenient to count using fingers
D．The fun of kids’ fingers
C
How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
36．The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.
A．make a survey B．interest readers
C．tell a story D．solve math problems
37．What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China
A．People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.
B．People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C．People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting
D．People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
38．Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians
A．They have only a few words for numbers
B．They have hand movements to stand for numbers
C．They can only count to five on their fingers
D．They can understand different ideas about numbers
39．The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____
A．people all over the world know how to count
B．People of the tribe have words for number
C．Some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D, Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
40．What is the main idea of the passage
A．people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math
B．Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans
C．In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count
D．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.

In recent weeks, a herd（群）of 15 wild Asian elephants, left their habitat（栖息地） in Xishuangbanna in Southwest China’s Yunnan province, has traveled for around 500 kilometers in China’s Yunnan in the past year.
According to the provincial Forestry Department, the herd has changed its direction（方向）since Friday, as experts tried to attract them to go farther from the downtown areas with delicious foods, such as pineapples.
The reason for their migration（迁徙）is not known, but experts think that either a food shortage or the “guide elephant” misleading the herd.
The herd’s march has triggered（引发）widespread public interest, and many videos recorded by local people have received thousands of “likes” on social media. The most popular of these are two videos recorded on Friday in Jinning. In one, an elephant turns on a water tap with its trunk （象鼻） and gives the herd members water. In another, two baby elephants almost fall into a small ditch（沟）but are saved by the adults.
“Asian elephants have a strong sense of society and value the family highly. If any member—especially the young family members—needs help, others will try their best to provide it.” Chen Mingyong, a science professor at Yunnan University, said on Sunday.
Yunnan is the sole wild Asian elephant habitat in China. Before the 1970s, the species（物种）was endangered by a number of reasons, including a rise in the human population, reduced forestry areas and illegal hunting（非法猎杀）. Their numbers dropped heavily. However, through protection efforts in recent years, China’s Asian elephant population has risen from 170 to 300 in the 1970s.
“Its growing population needs a larger habitat and more food. The well-protected forest resulted in the decrease of some small plants—the favorite food of wild elephants,” said Giuo Xianming director of the research institute at Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve.
41．In the past year, how far has the herd of 15 wild Asian elephants traveled
A．300 kilometers. B．400 kilometers. C．5000 kilometers. D．500 kilometers.
42．If a young elephant is in danger, what will the family members do
A．They will protect the young elephant.
B．They will run away to protect themselves.
C．They will fight with the young elephant.
D．They will kill the young elephant.
43．Before the 1970s, which of the following is NOT the reason why wild Asian elephants were endangered
A．A rise in the human population. B．Reduced forestry areas.
C．A food shortage. D．Illegal hunting.
44．Which of the following statements about wild Asian elephants is NOT true
A．The reason for their migration may be “guide elephant” misleading the herd.
B．Two baby elephants almost fall into a small ditch but are saved by the adults.
C．China’s Asian elephant population has risen from 170 to 300 in the 1970s.
D．The favorite food of wild Asian elephants is the leaves from trees.
45．What is the best title of the passage
A．What can people do to protect wild Asian elephants
B．Where are you going, wild Asian elephants
C．Why are wild Asian elephants endangered
D．When did Asian elephants begin to travel
第二节、阅读填空（5分）
Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. 46 Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation(发音) of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发［fa∶］”, which means making plenty of money. 47 They believe that the number will bring them more money.
48 They think such an idea is only an ignorant(愚昧的) and superstitious(迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is another. They will ask, “How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good chances and don’t get along well with the people around you ”
As for me, I agree with the second idea. 49 Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. 50 Let’s always remember “Chances are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains”.
A. However, others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. B. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. C. So, everyone can have good luck only if he tries his best. D. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. E. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief.

Kids learn to count on their fingers, because they’re so, well, handy（方便）! And it makes sense ----most number systems originally developed as people counted using their fingers.
The counting system of native Greenlanders not only uses all ten fingers, but all ten toes（脚趾） as well! Here’s how it works. The Greenlandic word for the number seven translates as, “second hand, two.” That means you count five on the first hand and add two from the second, to make seven. After you run out of fingers, go for the toes. Thirteen translates as “first foot, three”. That means you add ten fingers plus three toes.
The counting system we use has a base of ten. Larger numbers are simply multiples of ten. For example, ten tens make one hundred. We’re so used to our base ten system that it may seem like the only possibility. But the Greenlandic number system has a base of twenty, and other have a base of five. Of all the number systems ever invented, five, ten, and twenty are the most common bases.
It’s no coincidence (巧合) that these bases match the number of fingers on one hand, or two hands, or all of our fingers and toes. The connection between fingers and counting is so close that several languages have just one word means both “hand” and the number five. Even in English, the word digit describes either a number or a finger. So if anyone teases(取笑) you for counting on your fingers, just tell them you find your digits quite handy!
31.The native Greenlanders may use ________ if their fingers are not enough for counting.
A．toes B．stones C．arms D．nothing else
32.Which number translates as “second foot, one” ________.
A．6 B．11 C．16 D．21
33.The writer mentioned all the following number systems except _______.
A．a base of 2. B．a base of 5 C．a base of 10 D．a base of 20
34.What can we infer from the passage ________
A．Greenlanders are much cleverer than others.
B．The connection between fingers and counting is a coincidence.
C．Digit means five and finger in English.
D．People with the number system of Base 5 probably used one hand to count in the past.
35．What’s the best title for the passage ________.
A．The magic of numbers
B．What can we learn from Greenlandrs’ way of counting
C．It’s convenient to count using fingers
D．The fun of kids’ fingers
【答案】ACADB
【解析】这篇短文主要介绍了孩子们用手指数数的道理。大多数数字系统最初是在人们用手指数数的时候发展起来的，作者以格林兰人的数数方法为例给我们做了讲解。
31.细节理解题。根据After you run out of fingers, go for the toes.可知手指用完，用脚趾，故选A。
32．推理判断题。根据The Greenlandic word for the number seven translates as, “second hand, two.” That means you count five on the first hand and add two from the second, to make seven. After you run out of fingers, go for the toes. Thirteen translates as “first foot, three”. That means you add ten fingers plus three toes.可知当手指用完，用脚趾，“first foot, three”意为十个手指加三个脚趾，由此推断“second foot, one”意为十个手指加第一只脚的脚趾，再加第二只脚的一个脚趾，所以为数字16，故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据Of all the number systems ever invented, five, ten, and twenty are the most common bases.可知没有提及二进制，故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据第二段介绍格林兰人怎么用计数及后文But the Greenlandic number system has a base of twenty可知他们的二十进制使用两只手的手指，两只脚的脚趾数数，由此推断五进制则是使用一只手的手指数数，故选D。
35．标题归纳题。根据短文主要以格林兰人的数数方法为例给我们做讲解，说明大多数数字系统最初是在人们用手指数数的时候发展起来，孩子们数数用手指是有道理的。故答案为B。
C
How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
36．The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.
A．make a survey B．interest readers
C．tell a story D．solve math problems
37．What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China
A．People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.
B．People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C．People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting
D．People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
38．Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians
A．They have only a few words for numbers
B．They have hand movements to stand for numbers
C．They can only count to five on their fingers
D．They can understand different ideas about numbers
39．The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____
A．people all over the world know how to count
B．People of the tribe have words for number
C．Some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D, Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
40．What is the main idea of the passage
A．people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math
B．Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans
C．In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count
D．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.
【答案】BCDDA
【解析】试题分析：这篇短文中作者给我们介绍的是关于数字和数学，不同的文化有不同的观点。不同文化的国家里，人们数数的方式是不同的，有些国家里根本没有表示数字的单词，他们不用数字来数数，但是他们同样理解关于数字的想法，故数字和数学并不是一回事。
36．B推理判断题。作者在这篇短文的开头连续问了四个问题，How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages Do you count on your fingers 你从一数到十有多快？你用十个不同的词来数吗？你能用英语数吗，还是用你的母语？你用手指数吗？用这些问题开头的目的是一下子吸引读者的注意力，让读者对接下来作者要说的事情产生兴趣。故选B。
37．C细节理解题。短文的第二段中作者分别举了美国和中国人用手指数数的例子，美国人是先伸出第一个手指，然后再伸出其他的手指，最后是拇指，这样数到五，再用同样的方法伸出另一只手，数到十；而中国人用不同的手指的位置数数。通过这样的对比，作者想告诉我们不同文化的国家，使用不同的手指数数的方式，故选C。
38．D推理判断题。根据短文第三段中However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers可知选项是正确的；根据They don’t even have word for numbers.可知A是不对的；根据These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers可知B是不对的；根据第三段的内容可知，澳大利亚的土著居民没有表示数字的单词，也没有动作来代表数字，但是他们仍然能理解关于数字的不同的想法。故选D。
39．D细节理解题。根据短文第四段的内容可知，这一段中作者给我们举了一个部落的例子，这个部落里没有关于数字的单词，他们也不用数字来数数。They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up他们可以学数数，但是在他们的文化里，那是没用的，所以他们也不学。由此可知选D。
40．A主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者给我们介绍的是关于数字和数学，不同的文化有不同的观点。不同文化的国家里，人们数数的方式是不同的，有些国家里根本没有表示数字的单词，他们不用数字来数数，但是他们同样理解关于数字的想法，故数字和数学并不是一回事。故选A。

In recent weeks, a herd（群）of 15 wild Asian elephants, left their habitat（栖息地） in Xishuangbanna in Southwest China’s Yunnan province, has traveled for around 500 kilometers in China’s Yunnan in the past year.
According to the provincial Forestry Department, the herd has changed its direction（方向）since Friday, as experts tried to attract them to go farther from the downtown areas with delicious foods, such as pineapples.
The reason for their migration（迁徙）is not known, but experts think that either a food shortage or the “guide elephant” misleading the herd.
The herd’s march has triggered（引发）widespread public interest, and many videos recorded by local people have received thousands of “likes” on social media. The most popular of these are two videos recorded on Friday in Jinning. In one, an elephant turns on a water tap with its trunk （象鼻） and gives the herd members water. In another, two baby elephants almost fall into a small ditch（沟）but are saved by the adults.
“Asian elephants have a strong sense of society and value the family highly. If any member—especially the young family members—needs help, others will try their best to provide it.” Chen Mingyong, a science professor at Yunnan University, said on Sunday.
Yunnan is the sole wild Asian elephant habitat in China. Before the 1970s, the species（物种）was endangered by a number of reasons, including a rise in the human population, reduced forestry areas and illegal hunting（非法猎杀）. Their numbers dropped heavily. However, through protection efforts in recent years, China’s Asian elephant population has risen from 170 to 300 in the 1970s.
“Its growing population needs a larger habitat and more food. The well-protected forest resulted in the decrease of some small plants—the favorite food of wild elephants,” said Giuo Xianming director of the research institute at Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve.
41．In the past year, how far has the herd of 15 wild Asian elephants traveled
A．300 kilometers. B．400 kilometers. C．5000 kilometers. D．500 kilometers.
42．If a young elephant is in danger, what will the family members do
A．They will protect the young elephant.
B．They will run away to protect themselves.
C．They will fight with the young elephant.
D．They will kill the young elephant.
43．Before the 1970s, which of the following is NOT the reason why wild Asian elephants were endangered
A．A rise in the human population. B．Reduced forestry areas.
C．A food shortage. D．Illegal hunting.
44．Which of the following statements about wild Asian elephants is NOT true
A．The reason for their migration may be “guide elephant” misleading the herd.
B．Two baby elephants almost fall into a small ditch but are saved by the adults.
C．China’s Asian elephant population has risen from 170 to 300 in the 1970s.
D．The favorite food of wild Asian elephants is the leaves from trees.
45．What is the best title of the passage
A．What can people do to protect wild Asian elephants
B．Where are you going, wild Asian elephants
C．Why are wild Asian elephants endangered
D．When did Asian elephants begin to travel

第二节、阅读填空（5分）
Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. 46 Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation(发音) of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发［fa∶］”, which means making plenty of money. 47 They believe that the number will bring them more money.
48 They think such an idea is only an ignorant(愚昧的) and superstitious(迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is another. They will ask, “How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good chances and don’t get along well with the people around you ”
As for me, I agree with the second idea. 49 Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. 50 Let’s always remember “Chances are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains”.
A. However, others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. B. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. C. So, everyone can have good luck only if he tries his best. D. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. E. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief.
