小升初英语分班考试试卷及答案 (13).pdf

37.阅读理解 （必做题 ） 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. Ithink learning math at school is a waste of time.” However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract numbers. In fact, math is not so much about calculation as it is about learning to think logically 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 thejob done most efficiently? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.4 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 ，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 ( ) 1.
