　　第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

　　A

　　The Indians invented and developed the system of numbers from 1 to 9 and 0. We can use the ten numbers to make any number from the biggest to the smallest.

　　However, the ancient Romans invented a different system (系統(tǒng)) of numbers. They used symbols (符號) and replaced them. 1 is “Ⅰ” and 2 is “Ⅱ”. For larger numbers, they invented new symbols—5 is “Ⅴ”, 10 is “Ⅹ”, and so on. But they didn’t have a symbol for zero.

　　Here’s a table of the Roman numbers.

　　The Romans combined (合并) their symbols. In this way, “Ⅶ” means “5+1+1”, or 7. However, they found that “ⅡⅡ” (for 4) and “ⅤⅡⅡ” (for 9) were too confusing, so they thought out another idea.

　　If the “Ⅰ” comes after the “Ⅴ”, then you add it (Ⅵ is 6); if the “Ⅰ” comes before the “Ⅴ”, then you subtract (減去) it (Ⅳ is 4). The rule is that you are allowed to add up to three (e.g. Ⅷ is 8), but only subtract one (e.g. XL is 40).

　　How to remember the symbols?

　　Ⅰis like a finger. In a whole hand, the thumb (拇指) and the little finger make a V. Ten fingers are both hands, so the two Vs make an X..

　　Here is a way to remember the other symbols (L, C, D, M)：Little Cats Drink Milk.

　　"I love you" might be one of the most important sentences in the English language. It shows the closeness among family members and friends.

　　In Mandarin, "I love you" translates as “我愛你”, but the way it's used in China might be a little different, and Chinese are wondering why.

　　The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents "I love you" have been widely spread in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The answers are mixed. "Are you drunk?" asked one parent. In another similar video, a father even said— "I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap."

　　Even the positive attitudes make it clear that the words are expressed rarely. "I am so happy you called to say that. It is the happiest thing that happened to me in 2014," one parent answered.

　　However, Chinese families hardly use those words. "The parents' answers show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive feelings," Xia Xueluan, a Sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. "They are used to educating children with negative language."

　　This isn't the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a lot of people if they said 'I love you' to their parents, lovers, and children. "I have never said 'I love you' to my family, and I don't think I will in the future," one 56-year-old told the paper, "Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me."

　　Still, that doesn't mean that love can't be expressed. In another article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, however — Zhao gave her father, a photo album featuring photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures were popular online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo. Her father was very excited when he heard about it.

　　( )51. What does the underlined word Mandarin probably mean?

　　A. French B. Japanese C. English D. Chinese

　　( )52. What can we infer(推斷) from the parents’ answers in Paragragh3 and 4?

　　A. Some parents don’t love their children.

　　C. Most Chinese students rarely express their positive feelings to their parents.

　　D. Children in China are always taught negative language.

　　( )53. What will that 56-year-old person feel if he/she says “I love you” to the families?

　　A. embarrassed B. excited C. proud D. unhappy

　　( )54. Why did Zhao give her father a photo album instead of saying "I love you"?

　　A. The album is more expensive.

　　B. His father likes the album better.

　　C. She thinks actions speak louder than words sometimes.

　　D. She hates saying "I love you" to her father.

　　( )55. What’s the best title for the passage?

　　Where has out time gone? How should we spend our time properly?

　　As students, it is important for us to study, so we should make a plan for every day. First of all, we should listen carefully in class. For homework, we need to make a list and work out how much time we need, and then finish them one by one. Hobbies are also important in our lives and different students have different kinds of hobbies. They can make us feel happy and confident. But we don’t need to spend so much time on it. So we should achieve a balance between out study and our hobbies. In other ways, we need time, too. For example, we may spend some time talking with our friends at lunchtime and watching TV on weekends.

　　If we plan our time well, I’m sure we will live a happier school life.
