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？language？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 begin counting with their first finger，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．There people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers．They don’t even have words 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 most people believe that everyone knows how to count，“but here is a group that does not count．They could learn，but it’s 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．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 |
What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China？
| A．People from China count much faster than people from the US． |
| 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． |
Which of the 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． |
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 numbers |
| C．some groups of people are not smart enough to count |
| D．counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe |
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 cultures，people don’t even know how to count． |
| D．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers． |

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动)may help students do better in their classes．The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P．E．class．
Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies．Twelve were from the United States，one from Canada and one from South Africa．The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013．They included more than 55，000 children，aged six to eighteen．
Thomas Singh，one of the researchers，says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math，English and reading．Mr．Singh offers some possible explanations(解释)：
There are，first，physiological(生理的)explanations，like more blood flow，and so more oxygen(氧气)to the brain．Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙)produced，like endorphins(脑内啡)．And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved，which means you will perform better in class．Also，students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them．This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do．
All in all，the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school．Mr．Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs．What led the researchers to do the studies？
| A．Schools’cutting physical activity． |
| B．Their interest in physical activity． |
| C．The tests including about 55，000 children． |
| D．Kids’unsatisfying schooling performance． |
How many countries took part in the studies？
| A．14． | B．12． | C．2． | D．3． |
Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage？
| A．Getting more blood flow． |
| B．Better classroom behavior． |
| C．Feeling relaxed and refreshed． |
| D．Greater ability to organize activities． |

It is widely agreed that the overuse of fossil fuels，such as coal and oil has caused serious environmental problems．Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air，the water or the ground．Solar power is one of them．
Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun，using solar panels．The solar panels are usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildings．It is the family solar power system．Some countries are even beginning to build solar power plants by setting thousands of solar panels in the places where there is enough sunshine．Solar power has many advantages．The power is easy to get and will never be used up．Whenever it is sunny，there is the power．The power is clean and renewable．It helps to reduce waste and pollution，which is great for the environment．In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants，solar power is especially necessary．It enables the people there to use lights，TVs，computers，washing machines，fridges and many other things．
Therefore，more and more countries，such as China，the USA，Japan and India，encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use．However，the power is not as widely used as expected．
One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine．Countries or areas with a lot of rain，like the UK，are not suitable to develop such power systems．Secondly，a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity．Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build．What’s more，solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything．
Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems．Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life．Solar power is a kind of energy taken from________．
| A．the air |
| B．the sun |
| C．the water |
| D．the ground |
The underlined word“reduce”probably means________．
| A．to make something less |
| B．to make something better |
| C．to make something more |
| D．to make something cleaner |
What is the fourth paragraph of the passage mainly about？
| A．The ways to use solar power． |
| B．The advantages of solar power． |
| C．The places to build the solar power plants． |
| D．The difficulties of putting solar power to use widely． |
What can we learn from the passage？
| A．Solar energy itself is expensive． |
| B．Solar power will be used up very soon． |
| C．Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy． |
| D．Solar power is much better than the other energies． |
