四、阅读理解
(A)
An abacus, also called a counting frame, was first used by the Asians for showing arithmetic processes（计算过程）. It was in use centuries before the invention of the written modern system of numbers. And it was widely used by merchants and clerks in ancient China, Japan, Africa, India and elsewhere. Nowadays, the abacus often has a wooden frame with beads on the wires. The user of an abacus is called an abacist, who calculates by sliding the beads of the abacus by hand.
It is said that the abacus was invented in 550 BC in China. The use of the word “abacus” first appeared before 1387. Its plural is abacuses.
A new kind of abacus was found on the island of Salamis (near Greece) in 1846. It may be the oldest counting board discovered（发现）so far.
As computers and mobile phones appeared, people began to pay less attention to abacuses. Most young people don’t even know how to use them. I think they will die out in a few years. It will be a great pity.
26. Who first used abacuses
A. The Arabians. B. The Asians. C. The Americans. D. The Europeans.
27. What is an abacist
A. An inventor of the abacus. B. A seller of the abacus.

28. The underlined word “sliding” means “______” in Chinese.
A. 取走 B. 制作 C. 拆卸 D. 滑动
29. When did the word “abacus” appear
A. About 160 years ago. B. After 1387.
C. About 1500 years ago. D. Before 1387.
30. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. We should pay some attention to the abacus.
B. The abacus is a great invention in the human history.
C. Computers are more important than abacuses.
D. The abacus was not invented by Chinese people.
(B)
Where did these numbers come from
Eleven and Twelve
The number “eleven” comes from the German word - “ainlif”, which means “one left” in English. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from “twalif” — “two left”. Why did people use “teen” instead of “lif” from 13 to 19 We still don’t know.
42.195 Kilometers in a Marathon（马拉松）
The story began with an ancient Greek soldier Pheidippides. Once his country won a big war and he carried the good news from Marathon to Athens. He ran so fast that he died after telling people the news. To memorize Pheidippides, people held the first modern marathon in the first Olympic Games in 1896. It was about 40 km from Marathon to Athens. But race organizes for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium. It was 42,195 kilometers long. And since 1924 the number 42.195 has been kept in marathon.
28 Days in February
Before the calendar we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome changed the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, and then made 56 days to divide between January and February (28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.
