There is writing in books, on signs, and on computer screens. Most children learn to read and write at an early age and use these skills to get and share information in books, magazines, letters, and e-mail messages. Businesses depend on written words to communicate and to sell products. Governments depend on written documents as the basis for their laws. We would be lost without writing.The earliest people had no system of writing. Writing developed over thousands of years in different cultures around the world,like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, China, and so on.Long before, drawings were used as a form of communication. Rock drawings are found in many places. One rock drawing in the mountainous part of New Mexico shows a mountain goat standing up and a man riding a horse upside down. Archaeologists(考古学家) believe that the drawing was a warning to riders that the road was too dangerous to walk.Modern forms of writing began when people learned to use symbols, such as letters and words to stand for ideas. At first, they used pictures that stood for words. For example, a picture might show a hunter, the weapons(武器) the hunter used, and a pair of deer the hunter killed. Then, Sumerians in Mesopotamia learned to use the same symbols to stand for different words. Ancient Egyptians used symbols known as hieroglyphs(象形字). It was similar to the writing of the Sumerians.Even greater advances were made in China about 3,500 years ago. The Chinese used thousands of signs and they could write proper names and new words. However, this was a knotty system. To make writing easier, things had to be made in easy way. The answer was the development of alphabets. The Phoenicians are often credited with developing one of the first useful alphabets. The Phoenician alphabet used about 20 or 30 signs. They were well on their way to at least one type of modern writing because the modern English alphabet uses 26 letters.1.What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?()A.To show how important the writing is in our daily lives.B.To tell that writing is used mostly in business and government.C.To compare the writing of young people with the writing of adults.D.To explain where writing to be seen.2.Modern forms of writing started when people used .() A.symbols like letters and wordsB.proper names and new wordsC.the Phoenician alphabetD.the modern English alphabet3.What does the underlined word “knotty” in the last paragraph probably mean?()A.Acceptable.B.Difficult.C.Meaningless.D.Common.4.The text mainly talks about .() A.who invented writingB.when writing appearedC.how writing developedD.what writing wasPassage 22020·原创How do you celebrate your birthday? Do you have a birthday party or get many best wishes from your friends or family? People celebrate birthdays almost in the same waybirthday cakes, birthday candles, birthday songs are very often seen. However, there are also some special ways to celebrate birthdays.In Nigeria (a country in Africa), the 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th birthdays are very important to them. On these birthdays, they often have very big parties with more than 100 guests. They often eat a roasted cow or goat. There is also a very special food called “Joll of Rice”. It's the rice with tomatoes, red pepper, onions and sweet potatoes.In Korea, the most important birthday is “paegil”. It's on the 100th day after a child's birth. The family and friends get together to have a big dinner with rice cakes, wine and other delicious food like red and black bean cakes. It's said if 100 people share with the rice cakes, the child will have a long life. So parents often send the rice cakes to as many people as possible to share happiness. Parents also put the red and black bean cakes in the house because they believe the bean cakes can lead to good luck and happiness.In China, the 1st birthday is very important to a baby. The parents often put the baby in the center of a group of things, such as coins, a doll, a book, etc. And wait to see which thing the baby picks up. If the baby picks up a coin, he or she may be rich. If the baby chooses the book, he or she may become a teacher. If the baby reaches for the doll, he or she may have many children. The sixth birthday is also a special birthday for the Chinese child.

But it's okay to be the one to break the ice. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.2.  Your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home. Your help will be welcomed by them. Leave your telephone number to them. If they have any questions, they can call you.3.  Most of us find it difficult to remember people's names. Writing down the names of your neighbors and note about them, such as “Frank and JillBob's neighbor”, helps you remember their names. The next time we see Frank and Jill, we try to call them by name.4.  If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to a pool party or holiday open house? Chat with each for five minutes to get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for food and music.5.  In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard.A.Be a Good ListenerB.Care About the Small ActsC.Begin a ConversationD.Make Time for FriendshipsE.Give a Hand to New NeighborsF.Remember Their Names【参考答案】.1.wondering2.dogs3.who4.shared5.to eat6.an7.traditional8.with9.were invited10.listening.Passage 1主旨大意本文是一篇说明文,阐述了文字发展从远古到现代的历史。1.A段落大意题。通过列举表达了文字的重要性,第一段的最后一句概况性地表达了文字对生活的重要性。2.A细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Modern forms of writing began when people learned touse symbols, such as letters and words to stand for ideas.”可知A项正确。3.B词义猜测题。根据后面的“To make writing easier”可知,B项符合题意。4.CPassage 2主旨大意本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界上人们常规庆祝生日的方式,也列举了三个国家特有的生日庆祝方式,虽然庆祝方式各不相同,但是祝福是一致的。58DACC.15CEFDB
