Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early-and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy -one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends.
Children were observed as they slowly grasped or, as the case might be, bumped into concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water Tours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total.
Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects - is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table, and is itself far from innate.
Question 33. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The use of mathematics in child psychology
B. The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn
C. The development of mathematical ability in children
D. Trends in teaching mathematics to children
Question 34. It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting______.
A. when they begin to be mathematically mature
B. soon after they learn to talk
C. by looking at the clock
D. after they reach second grade in school
Question 35. The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to_______
- clarified B. lighted
- accepted D. illustrated
Question 36. According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile of red and blue pencils, they______.
A. subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
B. counted only the pencils of their favorite color
C. counted the number of pencils of each color
D. guessed at the total number of pencils
Question 37. Which of the following statements would the author LEAST agree with?
A. Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development.
B. Mathematical development is subtle and gradual.
C. Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.
D. Children naturally and easily learn mathematics.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B. C, or D on, your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative developments. They are essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory. This memory stores instructions and information. In a calculator, the instructions, are the various . functions of arithmetic, which are permanently remembered by the machine and cann’t be littered:or added to: The information consists of the numbers which are keyed in.
An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic, A calculator requires an input unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory.unit, and an output unit to display the result. The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells. Inside is a microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is the keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display.
The input unit has keys for numbers and operations. Beneath the keys is, a printed circuit board containing a set of contacts for each key. Pressing a key closes the contacts and sends a signal along a pair of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for. that key is stored in the memory. The processing unit also sends the code to the display. Each key is connected by a different pair of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to find out when a pair is linked by a key.
The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds thee temporary results that occur during calculation. Storage cells in the memory unit hold, he the codes for the keys that have been pressed. The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them.
When the equal key is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit. This takes the operation code – for example addition – and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and perform the operation on the two numbers. After the addition is done, the result goes to the decoder in the calculator's microchip. This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or output, of the calculation.
