【导语】本文主要介绍了数字的发明过程。在没有数字之前,人们用手指连同脚趾数数,后用棍棒和骨头制作一些小物件来计数,接着用粘土或小石块做成小物件计数,后来人们为了方便携带把它们穿成串儿,从而发展成了算盘,最后人们开始扩展文字系统,产生了阿拉伯数字。
81.句意:在书写数字发明之前,人们是怎么数东西的呢?根据“How did people count things before the ... of written numbers ”及首字母提示可知,此处是指书写数字发明之前,the后跟名词,invention“发明”。故填(i)nvention。
82.句意:但是,他们只能用这种方法数很小的数字。根据“At first, people used their fingers, and even their toes.”和“they could only count small numbers in this way.”可知,前后是转折关系,由首字母提示可知,however“但是”,表转折。故填(H)owever。
83.句意:他们使用它们来数像每月的天数,食物的数量和他们拥有的动物的数量。根据“the days of the month, the ... of food and the number of animals they had.”可知,此处表示数量,the amount of“……的数量”。故填(a)mount。
84.句意:他们经常把这些记号穿在细绳上,以便他们能容易地四处携带它们。根据“They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could ... them around easily.”可知,他们把这些记号穿在绳子上是为了方便携带,carry“携带”,情态动词could后跟原形。故填(c)arry。
85.句意:最后,人们开始发展书写符号系统来表示不同的数字,这导致了阿拉伯数字系统(0—9)的出现。根据“people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers”可知,由于书写系统的发展,导致了阿拉伯数字系统的出现,lead to“导致,引起”,本句时态为一般过去时。故填(l)ed。
