Kids often use their fingers to learn counting because fingers are easy to use! In fact, many number systems were developed by people counting with their fingers.
In Greenland, the native（本地的）people not only uses all ten fingers, but all ten toes to count! It’s interesting and here’s how it works. The Greenlandic word for the number seven translates as “second hand, two”. That means you count five on one hand and add two from the other to get seven. After you run out of fingers, go for the toes. For example, thirteen translates as “first foot, three”. That means you count all ten fingers and then three toes.
Fingers and numbers are connected in many languages. Some languages even have one word that means both “hand” and “five”. Even in English, the word “digit” describes either a number or a finger. So if anyone makes fun of you for counting with your fingers, just tell them you find your “digits” quite handy!
5. What will the native Greenlanders probably use if their fingers are not enough for counting?
A. Toes. B. Ears. C. Arms. D. Eyes.
6. In Greenlandic, what does “second foot, three” mean?
A. 8. B. 16. C. 18. D. 21.
7. Why is the word “digit” especially suitable when talking about counting with fingers?
A. It sounds similar to the word “five”.
B. It is often used in Greenland for counting.
C. It shows connection between fingers and counting.
D. It means five and fingers in the English language.
8. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Counting with fingers B. Greenlanders’ numbers
C. The magic of numbers D. The fun of kids’ fingers

解析
【分析】
这是一篇英语阅读理解题，需结合原文内容逐一分析各题：
1. 第5题：定位原文查找格陵兰本地人手指不足时的计数方式；
2. 第6题：结合原文已知数字表达的例子，推导对应数字含义；
3. 第7题：定位原文查找“digit”一词的含义，明确其与手指、计数的关联；
4. 第8题：概括全文核心内容，确定最佳标题。
【解析】
5. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“After you run out of fingers, go for the toes.”可知，格陵兰本地人手指不够时会用脚趾计数，故选A。
6. 推理判断题：原文提到thirteen对应“first foot, three”，即10（所有手指）+3=13；同理，“second foot, three”应为10（第一组计数基数）+8=18，故选C。
7. 细节理解题：根据原文第三段“the word “digit” describes either a number or a finger”，可知“digit”连接了手指与计数，故选C。
8. 主旨大意题：全文围绕用手指（及身体部位）计数展开，核心是计数与手指的关联，故选A。
