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、A secret to win

Once a 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo (柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese sensei, a judo teacher. Three months later, he was still practising with the same move. So he asked, “Sensei, shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

The boy kept training. Months later, the sensei took him to his first match.

Surprisingly, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient. The boy used his one move to win the match and now was in the final.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed to lose the game. Being worried that the boy might get hurt, the referee (裁判) called a break. Just before the referee wanted to end the match, the sensei came to him.

“No,” the sensei said, “let him go on.” Soon after the match began, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard (防守). Suddenly, the boy won the match.

On the way home, the boy and the sensei talked about every move in each match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask, “Sensei, how did I win the match with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve learned one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known guard for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

【1】How many opponents did the boy face in the story?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.   D. Five.

【2】Why did the boy’s last opponent lose the game?

A. Because he failed to protect himself in time.

B. Because he was not strong and experienced enough.

C. Because the referee ended the match.

D. Because he was afraid to hurt the boy.

【3】The boy could win all the matches mainly because ______.

A. his opponents made more mistakes than he did

B. his opponents were more impatient than he was

C. the boy was better at guard than his opponents were

D. the boy’s biggest weakness became his biggest strength

【4】From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. disabled people are the best ones in learning judo

B. one can win achievements by keeping practising

C. it is important to find a good referee to win a match

D. it is useless to learn too much knowledge and skills

25、People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.

A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.

And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information back to almost the same level as non-smokers.

The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a research of the university .Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at the Students’ Union and tasks completed at various points .

Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 %of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 %and those who had never smoked recalled 81 % of tasks.

Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in movements against smoking. He said, “This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory.”

“We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits (好处)for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions （认知）too. ’’

A. 15% less than those who have never smoked

27、“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion， written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people， life became empty and sad. We all need friends.

For some of us， though making friends is not difficult， feeling shy， we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

There are many books about friendship， but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence (影响) People， written in 1936， is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.

Dale Carnegie’s advice (劝告) seems to be simple， but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.

1. Be friendly and polite.

Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”， when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.

2. Go out of your way to be nice.

Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you， but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

3. Remember names.

They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.

4. Be open-minded.

Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.

5. Listen patiently.

When someone is talking to you， look at him or her， listen carefully and say something when necessary.

【1】The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life” means “______” in this passage.

A. No one can live a hard life

B. No one can live without difficulty
