The Best Language for Learning Math
What is the best language for learning math? Hint (提示)：You are not reading it.
Chinese, Japanese and Korean all have simpler number words. They express math concepts (概念）more c
____81____ than English. The language gap has drawn lots of attention. Several recent studies have l_____82____ weaker math abilities in English-speaking children to English number words.
Chinese, for example, has just ten basic number words. English, however, has more than two dozen (一打). The trouble starts at “e ____83____?”English has a word for that number. Chinese, Japanese and Korean have words that can be translated as ‘"ten-one” ——spoken with the ‘"ten” first. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value. Students can easily see that the number system is based on units of 10.
English number words over 10 don’t make the place value clear. Words for numbers 13 to 19 change the order of the ones (个位）and tens. Children are more 1____84____ to confuse 17 with 71.
Therefore, children working with English number words have a harder time doing complex (复杂）calculations. They make more m ____85____.
It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” method. When they a____86____ two numbers, Chinese students often break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For example, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. This method greatly helps students work out math problems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the “make-a-ten”method. However，they are having a hard time because of the confusing English number words.
Now, you should feel 1_87_ that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother language, all the math problems have become less difficult and less confusing.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Forever Friends of FRIENDS
Twenty-five years have passed since the American TV series, Friends was shown for the first time. However, it is still making friends. Many Chinese teenagers love it. Through watching the show, they can not only learn about American culture but also improve their conversational (口语的）English.
Perhaps you haven’t seen the series. It's a story of six young people. They came to New York City to find love, success, adventure and fun. Each of the characters had a different personality. However, they were able to overlook (忽略）their differences and became good friends. There was no social media at that time，but they always “liked” and supported one another. “I’ll be there for yon.” says the opening song, “because you’re there for me. too.”
Many fans thought that the show taught them many things which could not be learned from school and parents. These things include being sincere and honest with people around you. One fan said, ''There are many lessons we can’t learn from books. I learned so much conversational English through watching the show.” For example, Joey sometimes greets people by saying, “Hey, guys! How yadoin?" That’s a phrase that you won’t find in your textbook.
New phrases and strange pronunciation are two things that make learning English difficult. So, watching TV series such as Friends is really helpful. You can write down the words and phrases you don’t understand. Translate them and then imitate (模仿）the pronunciation. And, to make it more fun, think about the life lessons you can learn from the show. Practice being “Friends” with your own friends.
88.Is the TV series, FRIENDS, still welcomed nowadays?
89.Why did the six young people in the story come to New York City?
90.What does the underlined sentence of the opening song mean?
91.Which is the topic sentence of the third paragraph?
92.How can we learn English by watching TV?
93.Why does the author write this passage?
VIII. Writing (作文）（共20 分）
94. Write a passage of at least 60 words about the topic “Life in 2050”（请以“2050 年的生活”
为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）
提示：到2050年，我们的生活会是什么样的？请选择下图中(或自拟)1"~2个方面展开描述。
