解放军文职招聘考试游戏类

First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73. 

Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you’d get 151. 

So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five. 

Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you’ll get 7550. 

The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you’re 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you’ll get 7576. 

Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941. 

The seventh and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326. 

The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is the address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used. 

If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. 

1. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？

A. 1685 B. 8516 C. 8165 D. 1658

2. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result?

A. It’s really a trick. 

B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2. 

C. By taking Step 6and Step 7. 

D. By taking all the steps. 

3. What’s the secret of the trick?

A. It’s impossible to know. 

B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50. 

C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your age number. 

D. Both B and C. 

4. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？

A. No, it’s impossible to find out another way. 

B. No problem. 

C. I’m not sure. 

D. It’s nothing but a trick. 

【答案与解析】 本文主要介绍一个数学的小把戏。

1. B。推断题。由文章的倒数第2段，“The first part…”我们可以得出这条算术的答案：共有四位数字，前两位是地址的号码，后两位是年龄的数字，所以答案是B。

2. D。推断题。只有将步骤全部算完才可以得出答案，因此选D。

3. D。推断题。通过选项B的公式可以算出地址号码的100倍，即答案的前两位数字；通过选项C可以算出年龄的数字，也是答案的后两位。将B，C两项加起来就揭开了把戏的秘密，据此可推出答案为D。

4. B。推理题。根据常理，我们知道数学的奥妙是无穷的，所以设计另外一条程序是完全没有问题的，所以选B。

 “You’re just in time, Joe. We’re going to play cowboys and Indians, and you can be the Indians.” One of my cousins said.

“How many Indians?” I asked.

“Oh, about a thousand.” He answered, and before I could say no, I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians. Two minutes later I was running in the fields with a group of cowboys behind. The shouts of “After them. Let’s catch the killers!” and other such TV play language came into my ears as I ran round a corner and hurried into my Grandpa’s car. 

“We’ve got him, boys. Let’s go and catch him!”

But no one wanted to come to get me. All of my cousins except one were always very friendly with was. It was quiet outside. And I went out of the car to have a look.
