A
Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only
2 / 10
move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
( )51. According to the text, living in a “smart” city ____. A. is not a green way
B. will be far from you D. is completely impossible
C. will soon become true
( )52. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ____. A. a city of the future
B. a meeting in Songdo D. a report on public health
C. a plan to build a house
( )53. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo? A. Cisco.
B. IBM. D. Microsoft.
C. Siemens.
( )54. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ____. A. drive people out of cities B. control the world's population C. develop his own company D. solve the cities' coming problems
( )55. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Future Education B. Smart Cities C. Government Services D. Famous Companies

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,
3 / 10
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 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. These 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.
( )56. 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
( )57. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U. S. and China? A. People from China count much faster than people from the U. S. B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten. C. People from the U. S. count to ten with two hands.
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting. ( )58. 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.
4 / 10
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.
( )59. What is the meaning of underlined (划线) phrases “picked up”? A. 捡起来
B. 使用 C. 学习 D. 交流
( )60. What's 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.
