Ⅲ. 完形填空(共10分，每小题1分)

先通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 A、B、C、D四个选项中选择可以填入空白处的最佳答案。

Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “  26  ”. No matter which country you live in, no matter which grade you are in, you may not have to study art, geography or Chinese,   27   you must learn maths. Why is that? Why do so many students hate maths, and yet have to learn it at school?

Jenny Sanders, a high school student from California,   28  , “What good do we get from learning maths? We can use computers to compute numbers. I think learning maths at school is a waste of   29  .”

However, there is much more to maths than just learning to compute.   30  , maths is not so much about calculation (计算). Instead, it is more about learning to think logically (有逻辑性地) and   31   problems. Of course, Jenny is   32   that we can use computers to compute numbers, but how could we even know   33   to use the computer if we can’t think logically? Computers are only tools when we solve problems.

For example,   34   you must make dinner for 100 guests. How should you divide your resources (分配资源) so that you can    35   the job well? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will get you to a good answer and solve your problem.
