Question

9．Ask any student which subject he or she hates most.9 out of 10 students will answer"math"．No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math．Why is this so？How come so many students hate math，and yet cannot avoid learning it in school？
Jenny Sanders，a high school student in California，asks，"What good do we get from learning math？We can use computers to compute numbers，and we can use computers to store information．I think learning math at school is a waste of time．"
However，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract （減） numbers．In fact，math is not so much about calculation （計(jì)算） as it is about learning to think logically （邏輯地） and solving problems．Of course，Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations，but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically？In short，computers are only tools when solving problems．
For example，imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests．How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently （高效地）？In situations like this，the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem．
根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案，并將其標(biāo)號(hào)填入題前括號(hào)內(nèi)．

Answer 1

分析 這篇短文主要通過(guò)舉例子講述了世界各國(guó)都學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)的原因．文章介紹，數(shù)學(xué)不僅僅是用來(lái)進(jìn)行數(shù)字的加減，還可以進(jìn)行邏輯思考，電腦只是解決問(wèn)題的一種工具．邏輯思考的能力會(huì)讓你得到一個(gè)合理的答案并解決問(wèn)題．

解答 51．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段"No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math．"的描述可知，世界各國(guó)都學(xué)習(xí)的科目是數(shù)學(xué)．故應(yīng)選B．
52．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第二段"I think learning math at school is a waste of time．"的描述可知，他認(rèn)為學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)是沒(méi)有用的．結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)選C．
53．A  細(xì)節(jié)題．結(jié)合第一段Ask any student which subject he or she hates most.9 out of 10 students will answer"math"．可知百分之九十的學(xué)生不喜歡數(shù)學(xué)，故選A．
54．D  詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)前文"you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests"的描述可知，這里是指把晚餐的食材（資源）分給客人．結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)選D．
55．C主旨大意題．根據(jù)第三段"In fact，math  is not so much about calculation （計(jì)算） as it is about learning to think logically （邏輯地） and solving problems．"的描述可知，數(shù)學(xué)可以幫助我們邏輯地思考并解決問(wèn)題．結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文淺顯易懂，各個(gè)小題都能在文中找到適當(dāng)依據(jù)．只要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，注意前后聯(lián)系，就能順利完成閱讀．
