Mathematical problems in college entrance examination English reading comprehension
Many people regard English as a liberal arts subject and think that mathematical thinking is unnecessary. However, the math problems in NMET English reading comprehension are only the combination of language and math. From a mathematical point of view, the math problems in NMET English reading comprehension are not difficult, but there are many traps. The following are some examples of the real and simulated questions in college entrance examination English over the years, analyzing the characteristics of the questions and summarizing the solutions.

20 19 questions 28 in volume 2, part c, of the national unified examination for enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities are as follows:

What are the statistics in the second paragraph about?

A. food types.

B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners.

D. Restaurant service.

This question asks what the data in the second paragraph reflects. Paragraph 2 of the original text reads as follows:

A new report found that in the United States, 46% people eat alone. More than half (53%) have breakfast alone, and nearly half (46%) have lunch alone. According to the statistics of this report, 74% people only eat together at dinner time.

The original text says that 46% people eat alone (passive voice), more than 53% people eat breakfast alone, and 46% people eat lunch alone. 74% people get together for dinner. It can be seen that these data reflect people's eating habits, so it corresponds to B.

20 18 national unified examination paper for enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities 1 Reading Comprehension Section C Question 30 is as follows:

How many languages are spoken by less than 6000 people at present?

A. Approximately 6,800 people

B. About 3,400 people

C.about 2.400

D. About 1-200

The key words in the stem are languaged, spoken language, current and important number 6000. It is easier to find numbers than words in English articles. We can easily find the number 6000 in the original text.

The median number of English speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the languages in the world are spoken by these people.

The median number of language users is 6000, which means that half of the world's languages are spoken by fewer people.

Whether this can be done depends on whether candidates can understand the concept of "median". Even if the examinee doesn't understand statistics, he can infer it from the literal meaning. Baidu Encyclopedia explains the definition of "median" as follows: "Median, also known as median, is a proper term in statistics and a number in the middle of a set of data arranged in order." Going back to this article, according to the number of users from low to high, each language has a different number of users, so the number of users in the intermediate language is the median. So how many languages are there altogether? The first sentence of this paragraph has been revealed-there are about 6800 languages in the world at present. So the answer to this question is half of 6800, which is 3400. Choose B.

Some candidates will think deeply. Because the middle part of this article lists the number of speakers of many languages in different regions, candidates may take the time to calculate the total number of speakers of these languages and then divide them by 2. Although this can calculate the correct answer, the answer is actually the first sentence of this paragraph.

20 18 the 34th question of the National Unified Examination for Enrollment of Ordinary Colleges and Universities 1 Volume D is as follows:

Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. set-top box TV.

B. tablet computer.

C. LCD TV.

D. desktop computer.

This problem does not seem to be a direct mathematical calculation problem, but actually corresponds to electrical appliances of different ages. The original text is as follows:

We may think that we are a culture that abandons our worn-out technology as soon as we see shiny new things, but a new study shows that we continue to use old equipment after it becomes obsolete. This is bad news for the environment and our wallets, because these outdated devices consume more energy than new devices that do the same thing.

The last sentence of this paragraph is crucial, that is, when doing the same thing, outdated electrical appliances consume more energy than new ones. In other words, the newly invented electric appliance consumes less energy. From common sense, among the above four types of electrical appliances, tablet computer is the latest invention, so choose B.

Comprehensive Test for Graduating Classes of Ordinary Senior High Schools in Tianhe District in 2020 (II) Reading Comprehension of English Volume A has a math problem:

How much should a school group of 15 people pay if they book tickets?

A.$ 135

B.$ 126

C.$90

D.$84

This article mainly talks about the ticket price of a theater. In order to correctly solve the answer, because the article contains a variety of preferential prices for different groups of people, candidates should first lock in which recommendation is suitable for the school, and then look at the specific rules.

School: School groups with 10 or more students can book tickets of $9 in advance, and each 10 is free.

School teams with more than or equal to 10 people can enjoy the booking fare of $9 each, and the 10 ticket in 10 is free.

Analysis: This sentence means that if you buy a ticket for 10, you actually pay for nine tickets. If 15 people buy tickets, they have to pay 14 tickets, which is 9 yuan * 14= 126 yuan.

Finally, let's do an exercise related to time. Welcome to answer in the message area!
