Without numbers，life would be very tricky （棘手的，难办的）.You couldn't tell the time.Or know how many brothers and sisters you have.Or how much things cost.Numbers are the basis of mathematics. (1)
Numbers on hand
When people first started to count，they probably used the most handy thing they could find—their fingers.Even before they had the names for numbers，they could simply touch their fingers to count. (2) —because we have ten fingers.

Making a mark
(3) That's the problem with finger counting.So about 6，000 years ago，Sumerians （苏美尔人） began making marks on clay to keep track of things like how many bags of corn they'd sold.The Egyptians developed a clever system for showing larger numbers with pictures called hieroglyphs.

X out of ten
(4) In the time of the Roman Empire，they set up a regular system of numbers shown by letters called numerals. (5) For example，they are in the names of kings and queens.The British queen is called Elizabeth Ⅱ，which means the second.

A.Because the Romans invented it.
B.There's no way of keeping a record.
C.But where did numbers come from？
D.They are still used today sometimes.
E.It's why even today we count in groups of ten.
F.The Romans were methodical （有条理的） people.

Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi （买东西） instead of mainanbei，shangcesuo （上厕所） instead of xiacesuo，and yijianxiangzuo （意见相左） instead of yijianxiangyou？Many Chinese words have directions in them，and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.

When going shopping，Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei.A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty，there were two popular markets in Chang'an，the national capital at the time.One was called the East Market，and the other was called the West Market.When shopping，people usually went to the East Market first，and then went to the West Market.As time went by，people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
We use shangcesuo to mean "go to the bathroom" and xiachufang to mean "go to the kitchen".Why？In ancient times，houses were laid out （布局） in a certain way.The gate of the house would face south，with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.On maps，north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom.In Chinese，we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia.So people would say they're going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen.
Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to （指代） directions but also social positions.For example，people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor.
Most people today are right-handed.They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks.This was true in old times as well.So in ancient China， "left" was related to （与……有关联） being different，such as in yijianxiangzuo.If people don't accept common beliefs （信念），we still say they are following the ▲ path.
When shaking hands，it's important to know which hand to use.In most cultures，the right hand is generally used for a handshake.For example，in some countries，such as India and Nepal，the left hand is considered unclean.However，if you are in a culture where the left hand is used，you'd better do as the locals do.
37.Why does the writer mention shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo at the beginning？______
A. To tell a story. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give an example. D. To solve a mystery.
38.Which of the following Chinese expressions can be used as an example in "Where to buy things"？______
A. 东边日出西边雨。 B. 任尔东西南北风。
C. 青山横北郭，白水绕东城。 D. 东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯。
39.Which word can be put in▲？______
A. left B. right C. top D. bottom
40.Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage？______
gate；bathroom；kitchen
A. B.
C. D.
41.According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？______
A. In ancient China，most of the people were left-handed.
B. In ancient Chinese，the word "right" meant being different.
C. In India，people should shake hands with their right hand.
D. When shaking hands，we should never use the left hand.
D
On the night of May 24，2026，China successfully launched （发射） the Long March 2 F carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou-23 manned （载人的） spaceship from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
The rocket used for this mission （任务） is no ordinary one.Named Long March 2 F，it has a special nickname：the "Divine Arrow" （神箭）.It is China's first human-rated rocket，meaning it was designed specifically to carry astronauts.Since its first flight in 1999，it has made over 20 launches with a perfect success record-100% of its missions have been successful.This high level of safety is why it is trusted to carry humans into space.
What makes this mission special？One of the astronauts will stay on the space station for a whole year，the longest space mission ever for a Chinese astronaut.This will help scientists learn how the human body reacts during long stays in space.Such knowledge is very important for future plans，including sending astronauts to the moon by 2030.
The three astronauts of Shenzhou-23 include Commander Zhu Yangzhu，Pilot Zhang Yuanzhi，and Payload Specialist Li Jiaying.Li Jiaying is especially notable-she is the first astronaut from Hong Kong to take part in a Chinese space mission.Her presence shows that China's space program is becoming more inclusive，bringing in talent from different parts of the country.
The launch of Shenzhou-23 is another proud moment for China.It shows how far the country has come in space exploration-from the first satellite in 1970 to building its own space station，and now preparing to land on the moon in 2030.Each new mission builds on the success of those before it，taking China one step closer to the stars.
42.What do we know about the Long March 2 F rocket from the passage？______
A. It made its first flight in 1970.
B. It is mainly used to launch satellites.
C. It is the biggest rocket ever built in China.
D. It has a perfect record of successful launches.
43.What does the underlined word "notable" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______
A. ordinary and common B. easy to forget
C. difficult to find D. worthy of attention
44.What is special about the Shenzhou-23 mission？______
A. The spacecraft will land on the moon.
B. One astronaut will stay in space for a whole year.
C. It is the first time China has sent astronauts to space.
D. It is the first mission to carry supplies to the space station.
45.What can be inferred from the passage about China's future space plans？______
A. China will stop sending astronauts to space after Shenzhou-23.
B. China is preparing for a manned mission to the moon by 2030.
C. China will work alone and not cooperate with other countries.
D. Only astronauts from Hong Kong will be chosen for future missions.
46.What is the best title for this passage？______
A. The Future of Space Tourism in China
B. Why the Moon Is Closer Than You Think
C. Shenzhou-23：Practice for a Moon Landing
D. Hong Kong's Role in China's Space Program

47. In April 2026，a special film quietly entered theaters during the busy May Day holiday.Named Dear You，this movie had no big stars or fancy special effects.Many viewers （1） （ leave） the cinema with tears in their eyes，calling it the "biggest tearjerker （催泪弹） of the holiday".
The film is based （2） real stories of overseas Chinese.It focuses on an elderly Chaoshan grandma who spent half her life （3） （ wait） for letters from her husband in Southeast Asia.The special letters called qiaopi are traditional mails with money，which were recognized by UNESCO in 2013.
There is a （4） （ surprise） twist （转折） in the story.After the grandmother's grandson faces financial （经济的） troubles in Thailand，he starts to uncover the （5） （ true）.To his shock，he discovers that the person exchanging letters with his "Amah" （grandma） for nearly 20 years was not his long-gone grandfather，（ 6） a stranger-a kind-hearted woman named Xie Nanzhi.To protect the Amah from the pain of losing her loved one，Xie （7） （ secret） wrote letters pretending to be the grandfather for two decades.
The film's emotional power also comes from （8） （ it） use of the Teochew dialect.Over 95% of the dialogue is in this local language.The movie also shows many local customs，such as drinking Kungfu tea，eating olive vegetables，and taking part in traditional parades.
This film （9） （ direct）， Lan Hongchun， said the film is not just "a love letter to grandma" but "a love letter to all overseas Chinese and to our homeland".By telling a story that mixes family love with a sense of （10） （ nation） duty，the film shows that the Chaoshan people's hard work，honesty，and love for their country are qualities that can touch anyone's heart.
