If you visit London nowadays，you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road，you will also see a lot of bikes because nowadays more and more people travel by bike．

　　There are a lot of reasons for this．First，it’s very cheap to use a bike，and it’s quick too．You often wait for a bus for half an hour．When the bus comes，there are so many other buses and cars on the roads that the bus moves very slowly．The underground train is quick but very expensive and often crowded．

　　I traveled to work by bus for about four years．I often arrived at work late，and tired．Then one day，about two years ago，a colleague said，“I go to work by bike，why don’t we travel together？”

　　“Because my bike’s old，”I answered，“and there are so many buses and cars on the road．I will feel frightened…”

　　“You needn’t feel frightened!”said my friend，“If you follow me and we ride slowly，you will be fine．”

　　Although we went slowly，we arrived at work quickly．The bus ride took forty minutes and the bike ride took half an hour!

　　The next day I bought myself a new bike．Now I don’t feel afraid．I love cycling to work．I take a different road every day．I arrive at work very quickly．I’ve got a little more money now，and very important，I feel fit and well．

　　Many people think in the same way as I do．That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road．Who knows，perhaps in the future we’ll have roads for bicycles only．I hope so!

科目：初中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

　 The Indians invented and developed the system of numbers from 1 to 9 and 0. We can use the ten numbers to make any number from the biggest to the smallest.

　 However, the ancient Romans invented a different system (系統(tǒng)) of numbers. They used symbols (符號) and replaced them. 1 is “Ⅰ” and 2 is “Ⅱ”. For larger numbers, they invented new symbols—5 is “Ⅴ”, 10 is “Ⅹ”, and so on. But they didn’t have a symbol for zero.

　 Here’s a table of the Roman numbers.

1

5

10

50

100

500

1,000

Ⅰ

Ⅴ

Ⅹ

L

C

D

M

　 The Romans combined their symbols. In this way, “Ⅶ” means “5+1+1”, or 7. However, they found that “ⅡⅡ” (for 4) and “ⅤⅡⅡ” (for 9) were too confusing, so they thought out another idea.

　 If the “Ⅰ” comes after the “Ⅴ”, then you add it (Ⅵ is 6); if the “Ⅰ” comes before the “Ⅴ”, then you subtract (減去) it (Ⅳ is 4). The rule is that you are allowed to add up to three (e.g. Ⅷ is 8), but only subtract one (e.g. XL is 40).

　 How to remember the symbols?

　 Ⅰis like a finger. In a whole hand, the thumb (拇指) and the little finger make a V. Ten fingers are both hands, so the two Vs make an X..

　 Here is a way to remember the other symbols (L, C, D, M)：Little Cats Drink Milk.

(　 ) 51. How many numbers can we make according to the Indians’ system ?

　　　　 A. three: 0, 9, 1　　 B. ten　　　　　 C. eleven　　　 D. lots of

(　 ) 52. Which number was not in the ancient Roman’s number system?

　　　　 A. 1　　　　　　 B. 9　　　　　 C. 0　　　　　　 D. 5

(　 ) 53. What does the underlined word “combined” probably mean in the passage?

　　　　 A. 合并　　　　 B. 分離　　　　 C. 增加　　　　 D. 削減

(　 ) 54. What does MD mean according to the Romans’ rule of calculating?

　　　　 A. 500　　　　　 B. 1000　　　　 C. 1500　　　　 D. 2000

(　 ) 55 Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?

　　　　 A. “Little Cats Drink Milk” can help us to remember some of the numbers symbols.

　　　　 B. The Indians invented the system of numbers from 1 to 9 and 0.

　　　　 C. You are not allowed to make a number like “XXL”

　　　　 D. The ancient Romans repeated symbols to make any number.
