　　閱讀理解

　　It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numerals(數(shù)字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numerals, it comes out like this: MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!

　　The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazines then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.

　　The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:“The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.

　　問題

　　1.This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people ___________.

　　A.inventing Roman numerals

　　B.having advanced technology long ago

　　C.growing corn and many other plants then

　　D.supplying other countries with colorful silk

　　【參考答案】B

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】B 根據(jù)第二段最后一句“The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.”可知，阿拉伯人采用了新的數(shù)字并對(duì)其進(jìn)行改進(jìn),這帶來了技術(shù)的進(jìn)步。因此B項(xiàng)正確。阿拉伯人改進(jìn)并不是發(fā)明了羅馬數(shù)字，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章并未提到阿拉伯人種植玉米，以及為其他國家提供絲綢，故C、D兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

　　2. It takes much more efforts to ___________.

　　A.learn Roman numerals than Arab numerals

　　B.introduce numerals through printed materials

　　C.make great use of silk roads

　　D.teach businessmen numerals

　　【參考答案】A

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】A 根據(jù)第一段最后三句“No other number system ever invented has a simple way…h(huán)ow difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!”可知，讓學(xué)生們記憶羅馬數(shù)字是很困難的。故選A。

　　3. The Arabs call their numerals “Indian numerals” because ___________.

　　A.the numerals are mainly used in India

　　B.they copied numerals from Indians

　　C.Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmen

　　D.they got some ideas about numbers from the ancient Indians

　　【參考答案】D

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】D 根據(jù)第二段前兩句“The Arabs, however, call their numbers ‘Indian numerals’. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India.”可知，阿拉伯人很久之前從印度那里得到一些關(guān)于數(shù)字的啟示。故選D。

　　4. According to the passage, the Arab people ___________.

　　A.did business with the Indians

　　B.learned some ideas about business from Indians

　　C.built public baths in London in the 10th century

　　D.traveled a long way to learn mathematics in Rome

　　【參考答案】A

　　[考點(diǎn)]推理判斷題

　　【精析】A 根據(jù)第二段第三句“There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazines then…as businessmen sold and bought goods.”可知，如同阿拉伯生意人沿絲綢之路買賣商品一樣，數(shù)學(xué)也隨商品進(jìn)行了交易。由此可推知，阿拉伯人與印度人做過生意。故選A。其他三項(xiàng)都與原文不符。

　　5. From a 10th-century book, we can learn that ___________.

　　A.Berlin was formerly a dirty city with sufficient rice and plants

　　B.London was under the rule of the Romans in the 10th century

　　C.the Arab world was more advanced than other countries around

　　D.London chiefly developed industry ten centuries ago

　　【參考答案】C

　　[考點(diǎn)]推理判斷題

　　【精析】C 根據(jù)第三段中對(duì)阿拉伯和其他國家或城市的描述可知，阿拉伯當(dāng)時(shí)是比較先進(jìn)的，C項(xiàng)正確。其他三項(xiàng)文章均未提及。
