1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Chinese writing is one of the world's greatest writing systems（系统）. It is more widely in use than alphabetic（字母的）writing systems. 60 世界上多于一半的书是用中文写的, including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law.

At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based 1anguage. It dates back（追溯）several thousand years to the use of animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved（刻） by ancient Chinese people. 61. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today's hanzi.

62.By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to different dialects（方言） and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qishihuang of the Qin Dynasty.

Emperor Qinshihuang united（统一）the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. 63.这个系统在统一中国人民和文化方面起着重要的作用。Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak，they can all still communicate in writing.

Today, Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a great role in the world, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate（欣赏） China's culture through this amazing language. 64. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.

24、We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They’re in their shells (壳) —sleeping .

Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover .Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In spring the snail wakes up .Its body, about three inches long, comes out of from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can’t see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers (触角)are very weak . But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail’s little mouth goes to work.

A snail’s mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can’t see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out. And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

27、   On the Labor Day, I went back to my hometown in Hunan Province with my parents. We visited our relatives, enjoyed natural view and tasted many kinds of delicious food that can only be found in the countryside. However, the most exciting thing was catching fish.

That was a wonderful afternoon. The weather was pleasant and the wind was soft.

After having a big meal, my uncle and my two cousins decided to catch some fish for lunch the next day. They invited me to join them and see how they catch fish to earn money. They put on special coats and boots, and then headed to the pond. The bottom of the pond was filled with thick mud, so I thought it was difficult to catch fish there.

My uncle and my cousins jumped into the pond. The pond had a special drainage(排水) system so they could lead some water into another place, which made it easier to catch fish. After a while, the water level dropped and big fishes appeared. I was so amazed to see that the fishes here were two times bigger than regular ones. Out of breath, the fishes couldn't do anything but kept jumping. A great amount of mud splashed out(溅出) from the pond onto our clothes. My uncle and my cousins caught some fish skillfully. The basket was full of fishes two hours later, and they were then sent to the market.

I will never forget this interesting and pleasant afternoon.

A.ponds B.fishes C.meals D.baskets

28、When you’re very, very afraid of something, that fear can affect（影响）you and how you live your life. When I was younger, I saw my cousin f【1】 onto an ants’ nest. The ants attacked（攻击）him, and he was c【2】 in terrible bites（咬）. After that I became very scared of ants. I wouldn’t eat outside, and I didn’t even like to play outside. I c【3】 my bed for ants every night. But when I t【4】 thirteen, I decided I couldn’t let my fear get to me. I had to learn to control my fear of ants.

First I read a lot about different ants. I didn’t focus on bites, but instead I read about how helpful ants are to the e【5】. Ants are really cool! They’re hard—working, social, and organized. They help bring a【6】 and nutrients（营养物）to the earth. They help p【7】 grow, clean up decaying（腐烂的）matter（物质）, and help control other insects.

Next I began to w【8】 ants from a safe distance. I started to look at a family of ants in real time on the Internet in order to learn how they live. Little by little, I felt more c【9】 about ants. Finally I went outside one day and let an ant move onto my hand and t【10】 it gently. It was okay! Now that I know about all the good things ants do, I’m not so afraid of them anymore.

“Don’t just stand there. Let’s go!” He said and held the umbrella for me. We walked towards the dormitory (宿舍) and this time we ______ a lot.
