Ⅵ.(2021衡阳改编)任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,按要求完成26~30题。
　 Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians(数学家) in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy(天文学), maths and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in maths.
Zu was most famous for his calculation(计算) of pi(π). According to the record, he did all the work using nothing but wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value—between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that time was able to do better than Zu. And now the achievement is still praised by people around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians suggest calling pi “Zu Lv”.
Zu was successful not only in maths, but also in astronomy. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. Almost ten years after his death, the new calendar was finally accepted.
Zu was an inventor, too. He once made a vehicle(车辆) that carried a pointer(指针). No matter how the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south.
