It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that
arithmetic, the science of numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers
consist of whole numbers (integers) that are formed by the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and by the combinations of them. For example, 247 two
hundred and forty seven is a number formed by three digits. Parts of
numbers smaller than 1 are sometimes expressed in terms of fraction, but in
scientific usage they are given as decimals. This is because it is easier to
perform the various mathematical operations if decimals are used instead of
fractions. The main operations are: to add, subtract, multiply and divide; to
square, cube, or raise to any other power; to take a square, cube, or any other
root, and to find a ratio or proportion between pairs of numbers or a series of
numbers. Thus, the decimal, or ten-scale, system is used for scientific purposes
throughout the world, even in countries whose national systems of weights and
measurements are based upon other scales. The other scale in general use
nowadays is the binary, or two-scale, in which numbers are expressed by
combinations of only two digits, 0 and 1. Thus, in the binary scale, 2 is
expressed as 010, 3 is given as Oh, 4 is represented as 100, etc. This scale is
perfectly adapted to the off-on pulse of electricity, so it is widely used in
electronic computers. Because of its simplicity it is often called the lazy
schoolboys dream.!
116. The main topic of the text is about _____
A. numbers B. mathematics C. arithmetic D. binary
117. Numbers which are smaller than integers are
scientifically shown as ___
A. digits B. scales C. cubes D. decimals
118. According to the passage, mathematical operations include:
A. to add, subtract, multiply and divide
B. to square, cube, or raise to any other power
C. to take a square, cube, or any other root, and to find a ratio
or proportion between pairs of numbers or a series of numbers
D. All are correct
119. The binary is a system _____
A. in which mathematics is the base of all other sciences
B. in which numbers are expressed by combinations of only two
digits, O and 1
C. in which whole numbers are formed by the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8 and
9
and by the combinations of them
D. that every lazy schoolboy uses
120 What can be referred from the phrase the lazy schoolboys dream?

How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals
and families all over the world? The media can be very helpful to people who
carefully choose the movies and shows that they watch. With high quality
programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts,
and so on, TV and video tapes increase the viewers knowledge, they can also
improve thinking ability. Moreover, TV benefits elderly people who cannot go
out often, as well as patients in hospital. Additionally, it offers language
learners the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual instruction and aural
comprehension practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can
also provide almost everyone with good entertainment a pleasant way to
relax and spend free time at home.
Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual
media. First of all, some people watch the "tube" for more hours a day than
they do anything else. Instead of spending time taking care of their kids, many
parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video can
easily replace family communication, physical activities and other interests.
Secondly, those who, young and old, spend more time watching TV than
manual work can easily suffer from near-sightedness and obesity.
 The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and
horror on the screen that have bad effect on children and teenagers. Finally,
the most negative effect of TV and video might be addiction. People often feel a
strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a video tape even when they do
not enjoy it or have free time for entertainment.

121. What is the main idea of the paragraph?

A. Children should not be allowed to watch, TV.
B. Television and other visual media have both advantages and
disadvantages.
C. TV is a good baby-sitter.
D. All are correct.
122. To many elderly people and patients in hospitals, TV ________.
A. is an ideal tool of entertainment
B. must be banned
C. has bad effects on their health
D. is not enjoyable
123. The word "tube" in the second paragraph means _______.
A. baby-sitter B. computer C.TV D.
cassette player
124. What is the relation of TV and health?
A. TV makes a patient recover quickly.
B. TV is a good healer.
C. Watching TV is good for our health.
D. Watching TV too much easily leads to near-sightedness and
obesity.
125. Which sentence is not true?
A. TV never causes addiction.
B. TV can help increase people's knowledge.
C. Watching TV is a pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home.
D. There are violence and horror on TV.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children
develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of
mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and
talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy one place, one knife,
one spoon, one fork, .for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of
noting that they have placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table, a bit
later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered
addition, they move onto subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect
that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven
years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematic class without any
serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive
psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which
intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped
or as the case might be, bumped into concepts that adults take for
granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged
as water is poured from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists
have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a
pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into
finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of
mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also sug-
gested that the very concept of abstract numbers is itself far from innate.

126. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Trends in teaching mathematics to children.
B. The use of mathematics in child psychology.
C. The development of mathematical ability in children.
D. The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn.
127. It can be inferred from the text that children normally learn simple
counting ________
A. soon after they learn to talk
B. by looking at the. clock
C. when they begin to be mathematically mature
D. after they reach second grade in school
128. The author implies that most small children believe that the quantity of
water changes
when it is transferred to a container of a different ________.
A. color B. quality C. weight D. shape
129. According to the text, when small children were asked to count a pile of
red and blue
pencils, they _________.
A. counted the number of pencils of each color
B. guessed the total number of pencils
C. counted only the pencils of their favorite color
D. subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
130. With which of the following statements would the author be least likely to
agree?
A. Children naturally and easily learn mathematics.
B. Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.
C. Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development.
D. Mathematical development is subtle and gradual.
