A new study has found some secrets of people’s understanding of large numbers.
Researchers studied a group of people who were born deaf and never learned any spoken language or a formal sign language, but they have developed a gesture system to communicate with people around them. The gestures let them express approximate amounts, but not exact numbers.
“Up to three, they’re fine,” says Elizabet Spaepen, a researcher at the University of Chicago and an author of the study. “But past three, they start to fall apart.” In one test, Spaepen would knock her fist against a study participant’s fist a certain number of times and then ask them to respond with the same number of knocks. “If I were to knock four times on their fist, they might knock on my fist five times,” she says.
The finding offers a clue to just how much language affects our understanding of numbers. That has been a big question since 2004, when other researchers published data on two tribes in the Amazon whose members also lack words for big numbers. “What they have are words that mean one and two,” Spaepen says, “and then they have a word to mean many.”
Members of the Amazonian tribes also had trouble matching numbers larger than three or four. But some scholars felt that these earlier studies failed to prove that language was the reason. They pointed out that the tribes lived in groups that didn’t use money and had no need for exact numbers.
The new research appears to answer that criticism. “It proves that the kinds of problems in understanding numbers that we found in the Amazonian tribes are not due to just the cultural or environmental circumstances,” says Peter Gordon of Columbia University, one of the researchers involved in the earlier studies.
1.The participants of the new study ______.
A. cannot communicate with one another
B. use a formal sign language to express numbers
C. have some physical disability
D. come from a distant tribe
2. According to the passage, the new study _______.
A. ignored the cultural influence on the participants
B. is doubted by many people
C. has found it is harder to learn numbers than learning a sign language
D. has shown that our understanding of numbers is influenced by our mastering of language.
3. The tribes involved in earlier studies _________.
A. often dealt with big numbers.
B. didn’t use money in their daily life
C. didn’t have their own language
D. often made trouble for the researchers
4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Peter Gordon is a researcher of the University of Chicago.
B. Peter Gordon thinks less of the new study than his earlier studies.
C. Peter Gordon believes people’s understanding of numbers has nothing to do with cultural circumstances.
D. Peter Gordon is in favor of the finding of the new study.
5.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find this passage?

When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (鏟) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (車道) to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便攜式的) record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “We have one more gift for you.” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fair,” I complained. “I worked so hard for my bike and it’s not even new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didn’t have to do anything for it. ” My dad smiled. “She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’ s not really for her,” he said. What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me. He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐漸疏遠) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend.
1.What do we know about the author’s bike?
A. It was worth $120.
B. Allen bought it for him.

D. He didn’t like it actually.
2.Why did the author think he was officially a bike owner?
A. He had paid off his debt.
B. He had learned to ride a bike.
C. He could also own Liz’s bike.
D. He could sell his bike to Liz.
3.Why was the author’s Christmas joy short-lived?
A. His sister got a new record player.
B. His father didn’t care about him.
C. The record player wasn’t new.
D. His sister got a better gift.
4.Hearing his father say “it’s not really for her (Paragraph 4)”, the author probably felt ________.
A. moved B. satisfied
C. puzzled D. disappointed
5.The author finally realized that ________.

B. the new bike wasn’t bought by his father
