五、★★跨学科+数学 完形填空 主题:人与社会——科学与技术 学科素养:学习能力 词数:约280 建议用时:7分钟
Some old Chinese inventions have won wide popularity around the world. Recently, a British woman learned about an 21 Chinese invention which has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage of human beings (人类非物质文化遗产) since 2013. She used it to help her son 22 a maths problem.
Dr Mantri grew up in India. She was taught how to use an abacus to solve maths problems when she was young. After 23 that her son Dhruv had great difficulty with maths, she started using the same ancient Chinese tool to help him after school.
“My son was in Grade 5 when I found he was 24 in maths,” said Dr Mantri. “I would ask him something very easy like ‘35-13=?’, but he couldn’t work it out.”
“I never thought I would teach him to use such an old tool 25 I realized I could try the Chinese abacus. It is a useful 26 to help kids better understand numbers and basic calculations. Very 27 I saw the results. After six days, Dhruv started to make progress 28 with the help of the abacus. He even performed with the abacus at a school meeting where some parents came to 29 for advice on using it to help their kids.”
Known as the fifth invention of ancient China, the Chinese abacus is also 30 to be the earliest computer. It helped people solve many maths problems in ancient China. As long as you remember the rules, you can easily use it. Sometimes, just move one bead (算珠), then another bead, and you will get the answer. What a magic tool!
