21．（8分）There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe （宇宙） may have 200 billion trillion （万亿） stars ...
As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的） tools，the numbers used are also becoming bigger.Recently，scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量） ：ronna （1027），quetta （1030），ronto （10﹣27） and quecto （1030）.
Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry.Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers."While living and evolving（进化），our ancestors（祖先） had no need to develop such a skill，" US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo.Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."
However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.
Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."
（1）What might one quetta refer to？
A.One followed by 30 zeros.
B.A decimal point（小数点） followed by 26 zeros.
C.One followed by 27 zeros.
D.A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.
（2）According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that .
A.there were no large numbers in ancient times
B.ancient people didn't need to understand big numbers
C.human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbers
D.big numbers appear throughout human evolution
（3）According to the story，we can understand big numbers by
A.comparing the numbers to money
B.imagining how many people there are on Earth
C.thinking about how many soccer stadiums we have
D.turning them into something we are familiar with
（4）What can we infer from the story？
A.Math is the best discipline for us to understand the world.
B.People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations.
C.Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated.
D.Calculations help us deal with large numbers.
五、信息还原 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

However，this trend（趋势） started before COVID﹣19.Back in 2016，a restaurant owner in Kochi，India，had the idea late one night when she saw a lady looking for food in a trash（垃圾） can.She was really sad because that night，her restaurant had made lots of food and she could have given some to her.
Over in the UK，the idea of communal（公用的） fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and poverty（贫穷），encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food.UK supermarkets and eateries like Marks & Spencer and Greggs have helped.
Now there is a large movement in the UK providing communal fridges.The charity（慈善组织），Hubbab，has worked with The Community Fridge Network.It supports groups running communal fridges across the UK：Now there are over 300 fridges in the UK Hubbub has partnered with Co﹣op to fund 500 fridges by the end of 2023.

21．（8分）There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe （宇宙） may have 200 billion trillion （万亿） stars ...
As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的） tools，the numbers used are also becoming bigger.Recently，scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量） ：ronna （1027），quetta （1030），ronto （10﹣27） and quecto （1030）.
Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry.Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers."While living and evolving（进化），our ancestors（祖先） had no need to develop such a skill，" US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo.Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."
However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.
Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."
（1）What might one quetta refer to？ A
A.One followed by 30 zeros.
B.A decimal point（小数点） followed by 26 zeros.
C.One followed by 27 zeros.
D.A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.
（2）According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that B .
A.there were no large numbers in ancient times
B.ancient people didn't need to understand big numbers
C.human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbers
D.big numbers appear throughout human evolution
（3）According to the story，we can understand big numbers by D
A.comparing the numbers to money
B.imagining how many people there are on Earth
C.thinking about how many soccer stadiums we have
D.turning them into something we are familiar with
（4）What can we infer from the story？ D
A.Math is the best discipline for us to understand the world.
B.People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations.
C.Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated.
D.Calculations help us deal with large numbers.
【分析】本文主要介绍人类大脑为何难以理解庞大的数宇，以及告诉我们记忆这些的数宇的方法。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段quetta （1030）可知它指的是1后面30个0，A项符合文意。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."（早期人类只需要了解少量的数据，比如部落中的人数，或者他们抓了多少动物。"所以从进化的角度来看，区分大和非常大并不重要."）可知古代人不需要理解大数。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.（但是，有一些方法可以帮助我们更好地理解大数。一种方法是把大数字变成你熟悉的东西。例如，如果想象400，000人太难，你可以认为一个普通的足球场可以容纳40，000人左右。那么40万人就意味着10个人的足球场。或者你有1000块钱，那么一个百万富翁的钱是你的1000倍。）可知我们可以把大数变成我们熟悉的东西。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据第五段Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."（不用说，这些方法都有局限性。格林伯格说："这就是为什么我们经常只是'做算术'。"我们可以在计算中使用大量数据，并获得有用的答案。我们只是不一定能在整个过程中掌握这些数字。"）可推知计算帮助我们处理大量的数字。故选D。

Now there is a large movement in the UK providing communal fridges.The charity（慈善组织），Hubbab，has worked with The Community Fridge Network.It supports groups running communal fridges across the UK：Now there are over 300 fridges in the UK Hubbub has partnered with Co﹣op to fund 500 fridges by the end of 2023.
"A fridge is so often much more than a fridge，" said Hubbub's official website. "The fridges bring people together，address social isolation（隔离） and provide people with the opportunity to access（取得） healthy food，try something new and save money."

（2）What was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste？
The idea of communal fridges.
（3）What can we do to avoid wasting food？

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Over in the UK，the idea of communal（公用的） fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and poverty（贫穷），encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food.（在英国，公用冰箱的概念在萨默塞特郡被用来对抗食物浪费和贫穷，鼓励人们捐赠和带走不需要的食物。）可知，萨默塞特郡用公用冰箱的概念来对抗食物浪费。故填The idea of communal fridges.
（3）开放题，答案言之有理即可。根据第三段Over in the UK，the idea of communal（公用的） fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and poverty（贫穷），encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food.（在英国，公用冰箱的概念在萨默塞特郡被用来对抗食物浪费和贫穷，鼓励人们捐赠和带走不需要的食物。）可知，我们可以通过捐赠和带走不需要的食物来减少食物浪费。故填By donateing and taking unwanted food.

21．（8分）There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe （宇宙） may have 200 billion trillion （万亿） stars ...
As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的） tools，the numbers used are also becoming bigger.Recently，scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量） ：ronna （1027），quetta （1030），ronto （10﹣27） and quecto （1030）.
Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry.Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers."While living and evolving（进化），our ancestors（祖先） had no need to develop such a skill，" US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo.Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."
However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.
Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."
（1）What might one quetta refer to？
A.One followed by 30 zeros.
B.A decimal point（小数点） followed by 26 zeros.
C.One followed by 27 zeros.
D.A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.
（2）According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that .
A.there were no large numbers in ancient times
B.ancient people didn't need to understand big numbers
C.human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbers
D.big numbers appear throughout human evolution
（3）According to the story，we can understand big numbers by
A.comparing the numbers to money
B.imagining how many people there are on Earth
C.thinking about how many soccer stadiums we have
D.turning them into something we are familiar with
（4）What can we infer from the story？
A.Math is the best discipline for us to understand the world.
B.People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations.
C.Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated.
D.Calculations help us deal with large numbers.
五、信息还原 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

21．（8分）There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe （宇宙） may have 200 billion trillion （万亿） stars ...
As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的） tools，the numbers used are also becoming bigger.Recently，scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量） ：ronna （1027），quetta （1030），ronto （10﹣27） and quecto （1030）.
Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry.Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers."While living and evolving（进化），our ancestors（祖先） had no need to develop such a skill，" US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo.Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."
However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.
Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."
（1）What might one quetta refer to？ A
A.One followed by 30 zeros.
B.A decimal point（小数点） followed by 26 zeros.
C.One followed by 27 zeros.
D.A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.
（2）According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that B .
A.there were no large numbers in ancient times
B.ancient people didn't need to understand big numbers
C.human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbers
D.big numbers appear throughout human evolution
（3）According to the story，we can understand big numbers by D
A.comparing the numbers to money
B.imagining how many people there are on Earth
C.thinking about how many soccer stadiums we have
D.turning them into something we are familiar with
（4）What can we infer from the story？ D
A.Math is the best discipline for us to understand the world.
B.People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations.
C.Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated.
D.Calculations help us deal with large numbers.
【分析】本文主要介绍人类大脑为何难以理解庞大的数宇，以及告诉我们记忆这些的数宇的方法。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段quetta （1030）可知它指的是1后面30个0，A项符合文意。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群） ，or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important to differentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）."（早期人类只需要了解少量的数据，比如部落中的人数，或者他们抓了多少动物。"所以从进化的角度来看，区分大和非常大并不重要."）可知古代人不需要理解大数。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁） has 1，000 times more money than you.（但是，有一些方法可以帮助我们更好地理解大数。一种方法是把大数字变成你熟悉的东西。例如，如果想象400，000人太难，你可以认为一个普通的足球场可以容纳40，000人左右。那么40万人就意味着10个人的足球场。或者你有1000块钱，那么一个百万富翁的钱是你的1000倍。）可知我们可以把大数变成我们熟悉的东西。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据第五段Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解） the numbers throughout that process."（不用说，这些方法都有局限性。格林伯格说："这就是为什么我们经常只是'做算术'。"我们可以在计算中使用大量数据，并获得有用的答案。我们只是不一定能在整个过程中掌握这些数字。"）可推知计算帮助我们处理大量的数字。故选D。
