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. 1. 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 language. 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. 2. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s Chinese characters.
3. 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 the reign of Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang united (统一) all other Warring States into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. 4. 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 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 it. 5. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.

24、 This year has been a busy year of travelling for me, and the end of the year is no exception. I booked an early morning flight so I had to get up at 4:30 am to get to the airport. The thought of such an early flight made me not very happy, but then I started to think about the people who would make that early journey possible for me: my taxi driver, check-in agent, security staff, gate agents, flight crew, etc. They all do their jobs at an early hour so I can get to my destination safely, often for very little money.
When that trip came, I realized I had a choice: I could be angry about having to take an early flight, finally showing my anger to everyone I see. Or I could choose to be grateful to this modern machine of safe air travel and the people who made it possible. Just thinking about the latter choice got my mind working about how I could show my thanks, and I decided to do a little “experiment”: what if I got a little gift for every worker I met my journey? How many gifts would I end up giving out?
Then I started to think about what kind of gift would be good for such an experiment.
The payback from this experiment started immediately. For the first time in years I actually looked forward to getting up at 4:30 am! I ended up giving a gift cards to my taxi driver, airport security agent, two gate agents, and four fight attendants, and all of them said thank you and smiled sweetly. And, instead of arriving tired and sad after four hours of sleep and a long flight, I was excited and happy to share my story.
Change your attitudes( 态度)and choose to do something good for others can help yourself feel good, too.
【1】At first, the writer felt when she thought of getting up so early.
A.worried B.unhappy C.excited D.nervous
【2】What is "payback" of the writer's experiment?
A.She spent some money on some postcards.
B.She showed thanks to the people around.
C.She felt great towards the coming travelling.
D.She got lots of presents from the other people.
【3】What's the passage mainly about?
A.The reasons why the writer don't like travelling early in the morning.
B.How the writer's attitudes towards her travelling changed.
C.Why we should be thankful for others help.
D.The writer's most wonderful travelling experience.
25、“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue(队伍) of one,” wrote a famous British author, George Mikes．While this sounds funny, it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象)．From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China, queues are normal, too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform, queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．
Back in Britain, the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: Good things come to those who wait．
【1】The English are well known for _____.
A. forming an orderly queue
B. being rude and loud
C. traveling on subways
D. spending more time waiting in a queue
【2】The purpose of the article is to _____.
A. call on people in China to queue more
B. compare queuing in two cultures
C. praise the English for following good manners
D. explain why people rush in some situations
【3】In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this article?
A. Sports. B. News.
C. Culture. D. Business.
26、 When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct when we ask for help.
In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions with your classmates.
It is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
根据短文内容判断下列句子意思与原文是否相符，相符的写T，不相符的写F。
【1】It’s important to be polite in a foreign country.
【2】We needn’t learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
【3】It’s polite to change the way we speak when we talk with different people.
【4】“Excuse me, Mr….Do you know …?” sounds more impolite than “Do you know …?”.
【5】Using proper language will help us become better at the language we wish to speak.
27、One way to improve your English is to watch lots of movies. By repeatedly watching movies with native(本土的) English speakers, you will pick up slangs(俚语) that you can’t learn in your school. What’s more, listening to native speakers will help you improve your accent(口音), and will also help train your ears. The following are tips(提示) about learning English from movies.
Choose a movie that interests you. Whether it is the story or the actors that draw(吸引) you to the movie, watching a movie you enjoy will make you be more likely(可能的) to work hard to understand it. Choose a movie that will provide you with useful vocabulary. If you are learning English for business, watch a movie with the topic of business. If you are learning English to communicate with foreign friends, try a romantic comedy. If you are learning English in order to study abroad, watch a movie that has something to do with it.
Watch each movie at least twice. When you watch a film for the second time, try not to see the English words on it. Watch the movie again whenever you come across(遇见) new phrases to help you completely(完全地) understand them and master(掌握) the pronunciation.
Use an online program like Movielearn. It works with popular TV shows. As you watch the show on your computer screen, you can use the program to explain difficult expressions used in the show, and translate each line(台词) of dialogue word by word.
If you follow the above ways when watching movies, you will be sure to improve your English.
