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、The world’s largest reef (礁), the Great Barrier Reef, has lost more than half of its coral (珊瑚) cover in the past 30 years because of global (全球) warming. The beauty of the Australian coast has been left lifeless.
Scientists have been trying to find ways to save it, and now they may have found a special helping hand---volcanoes(火山).
During a volcano eruption(火山喷发),wherever hot lava(岩浆) goes, villages and plants are burned right down to the ground. How could it possible save life on Earth?
When the lava goes into the ocean, it quickly cools down and becomes light rocks that can float in the water. For example, in 2006, shortly after the eruption of a volcano near Tanga, a southwest Pacific island, scientists found many large rocks floating on the ocean. These rocks traveled a long way from the island to Australia over the next eight months.
But they didn’t just float during this time—they acted like little lifeboat. Scientists found that the rocks “picked up” more than 80 kinds of corals, crabs and other life animals on their way, before arriving at the Great Barrier Reef.
Once near the reef, these animal “passengers” can easily jump onto the rocks and go to their new home. “It’s like a boat of people landing on an island,” Judith Winston, a biologist at the Virginia Museum of Natural History, US, told Scientific American.
Since volcanoes have been on Earth for all of history, scientists say these “Lifeboats” might have even helped form the Great Barrier Reef in the first place.
【1】What problem does the Great Barrier Reef face?
A. There is less and less coral cover because of global warming.
B. It lies in an area with volcanoes happening now and then.
C. There are no living things on the Great Barrier Reef
D. The Great Barrier Reef is getting smaller and smaller.
【2】Which is the right order of the following event, according to the passage?
(1) Lots of little animals climb onto the rocks.
(2) Many huge light rocks are floating on the ocean.
(3) Lava goes into the ocean after the eruption of a volcano.
(4) Animals move to their new home through the rocks.
A. (4) -- (3) -- (1)-- (2) B. (2)-- (1)-- (4)-- (3)
C. (3 )-- (1)-- (2)-- (4) D. (3)-- (2)-- (1)-- (4)
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef is going away.
B. Volcanoes can help the Great Barrier Reef become lively again.
C. Global warming has a bad influence on the Great Barrier Reef.
D. Save volcanoes, save the Great Barrier Reef
25、 Peggy is a lovely girl. She is only ten years old but she likes reading and thinking. One evening, while Peggy's mom was preparing dinner, Peggy came into the kitchen. She stood beside her mom for a few minutes and then suddenly asked, “Mom, what is puberty?”
When Mom heard the question, she stopped cooking and looked at her daughter with her mouth wide open. She wasn't sure how to answer the question. Mom thought for a few seconds and then she said to Peggy kindly, "Peggy, why not look the word up in the dictionary? After that, we can talk about it. OK?”
Peggy agreed and left the kitchen happily. Half an hour later, she returned with a thick dictionary in her hand. Her mom asked her what the dictionary said.
“Puberty means, "answered Peggy, " the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children.” “What do you think of that?" her mom asked.
“I’m not sure really, "Peggy replied in earnest." I have always been able to bear children. It's adults who I can't bear at all.

26、In England, some food companies across the whole country have been told to carry out urgent (紧急的) tests on all beef products. Do you know why? That’s because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products.
There are some examples about the horsemeat matter. In January, 2013, in a number of UK supermarkets, frozen hamburgers were found to have traces of horsemeat in them. Some frozen beef products made by food company FINDUS were found to contain horsemeat. All of the beef products made by this company have been removed from sale.
The government said that there’s nothing to suggest any health risk from the products. Food minister David Heath said people should not throw away frozen meat products and carry on eating meat. The government will tell people not to eat meat if the meat is not safe.

27、"It looks so good on you," said my friend. I was trying on a bathing suit. Then the topic of conversation turned to going on a diet(节食).
I wanted to become pretty and thin. So I decided to stick to the diet. I didn't eat my lunch. Some people asked me where my lunch was. I lied to them and made up excuses.
I did the same with breakfast. I tricked(欺骗) my dad into thinking that I ate my bread, but I fed it to the cat. My weight dropped fast, but when I looked at myself in the mirror, I still thought I was not thin enough.
Finally, dark circles formed under my eyes. I wore thick clothing in hot weather, but I was still cold. That didn't matter. I still needed to be thinner.
About a month after I bought the bathing suit, I tried it on again, and it fell right off me. My mother told me to look in the mirror. I could see my eye sockets(眼窝). That was the day I realized how skinny I was.
I went to see a doctor. My total weight loss was about twenty-five pounds in one month. It took one year for my body to start working normally again.
Sometimes I want to go back to being thin, but I will never do what I did again. It's not worth it. Please don't go on a diet when you're young. You will regret it. Don't judge and compare yourself with others. Try to love yourself for who you are, not for what you look like.
