Excited.DThere 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 todifferentiate 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."32. 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.33. According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that ______ .A. there were no large numbers in ancient timesB. ancient people didn't need to understand big numbersC. human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbersD. big numbers appear throughout human evolution34. According to the story，we can understand big numbers by ______A. comparing the numbers to moneyB. imagining how many people there are on EarthC. thinking about how many soccer stadiums we haveD. turning them into something we are familiar with35. 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、任务型阅读-多任务混合（本大题共1小题，共6.0分）36. Do you ever worry that you might waste food？During the COVID-19 pandemic，many people round the world were going hungry.But people came up with unique （独特的）ways to try and help.One of these was to put fridges filled with food outside for people who needed it.The movement was very popular in the US but there are community fridges all around the world.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 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."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."(1) What is the unique way for people to help the hungry？______(2) What was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste？______(3) What can we do to avoid wasting food______六、选词填空-短文（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）37.The 2022 FIFA World Cup was held in Qatar（卡塔尔）from Nov.20 to Dec.18，2022.The World Cup bad many historical firsts.It was the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East.It was the first World Cup to be held in winter in the（1）______ hemisphere （半球）and it was also the first held by a country that has never （2）______ the World Cup finals.The World Cup saw surprises too.European favorites，Portugal，Spain and （3）______ bowed out（出局）of the game early.But it was Argentina's year to shine，winning the final（4）______ the last World Cup winner，France.It won 4-2 in penalties （点球大战） .The victory（5）______ the achievement of Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi.七、单词拼写-单句（本大题共9小题，共9.0分）38.
