The year was 1859. America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused another war between the two countries.

The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times, with the history of at least several thousand years.
There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters: there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese character; the ancient practice of knot-tying; the eight trigrams(八卦); and ancient painting legends to name a few. It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted or carved to describe nature or their lives. Other ancient cultures developed picture-based writing systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs(象形文字) of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilization. Hanzi, however, is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive.
Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world. Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones. These 3000-year-old symbols, known as, jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations. Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty of food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Oinshihuang.
When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated. However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts, known as radicals(部首), which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!
As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate China’s fascinating culture. And, as China’s culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile Chinese characters(hanzi)have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices. And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.
37. Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage
A. Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.
B. Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.
C. Because he helped developed hanzi in a more steady form.
D. Because he unified China and created hanzi.
38. What can we learn from the underlined sentence(划线句子)in Paragraphr4
A. Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.
B. Chinese characters are composed of radicals.
C. Chinese characters can be combined.
D. Radicals can be combined into thousands of hanzi only.
39. What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph
A. The relation between Chinese characters and Chinese culture.
B. Tips for foreigners on how to learn Chinese well.
C. Another Chinese traditional culture.
D. The origin of Chinese characters.
40. What is NOT true about the jiaguwen
A. The jiaguwen is known as the oldest Chinese character,
B. From the jiaguwen, we can know how ancient Chinese saw the world.
C. The jiaguwen was invented 3000 years ago.
D. We can find the jiaguwen on turtle bones.

The year was 1859. America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused another war between the two countries.
The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just of the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace ended the day the British man's pig decided to eat some of an American farmer's potatoes.
One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pigs owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue, and the situation got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2,000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the Americans were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to become a shooting war.
When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were surprised. Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldier on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave.
Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give up the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide. After nearly a year of discussion, a decision was made. America would get the island.
Finally, the Pig War was over and only one shot was fired. That was the shot that killed the pig!

【解析】你知道吗，因为一头猪，两个国家差点开始一场战争？这说的是1859年的英国和美国，那时他们共同占有一个岛。其中有一个英国人饲养了一头猪，这头猪太饿了，吃了美国农民种植的土豆，于是美国农民就把猪杀死了，英国人索要赔款，于是双方开始了争论，最后竟然动用了士兵，双方战事即将展开。但两国政府都不愿意打仗，派人去解决这个问题。直到12年之后，他们请了一个德国的领袖来裁决这个岛的归属，经过一年的讨论，美国人得到了这个岛。这场由猪引发的冲突也结束了。

The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times, with the history of at least several thousand years.
There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters: there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese character; the ancient practice of knot-tying; the eight trigrams(八卦); and ancient painting legends to name a few. It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted or carved to describe nature or their lives. Other ancient cultures developed picture-based writing systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs(象形文字) of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilization. Hanzi, however, is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive.
Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world. Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones. These 3000-year-old symbols, known as, jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations. Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty of food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Oinshihuang.
When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated. However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts, known as radicals(部首), which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!
As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate China’s fascinating culture. And, as China’s culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile Chinese characters(hanzi)have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices. And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.
37. Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage
A. Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.
B. Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.
C. Because he helped developed hanzi in a more steady form.

A. Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.

39. What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph
A. The relation between Chinese characters and Chinese culture.
B. Tips for foreigners on how to learn Chinese well.
C. Another Chinese traditional culture.
D. The origin of Chinese characters.
