The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.
33. The writer introduce the Chinese characters by ______.
A. giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts.
34. The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ______.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph5 B. Paragraph4 С. Paragraph3 D. Paragraph2
35. Which Chinese character used the underlined method
A． B． C． D．
36. What can we learn from the passage
A. Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.

For a long time, many Chinese students have considered physical education as an unimportant part of school life. Teachers of "main subjects" such as Chinese, math or physics often appear during the physical education class. ___37___ Even if no teacher appears, the students themselves will pay attention to these subjects that are important for competitive examinations later in life. Physical education could wait.
But all that can change soon as the Beijing government office announced a new plan. The marks for physical education in senior high school entrance exams were raised from 40 to 70. And 14 sports subjects like table tennis, swimming, gymnastics and badminton that students could choose from were added.
However, the goal is not to make sure that students score high. ___38___ Making such reforms could help change their opinion about physical education.
The 70 marks are made up of 40 marks for the process assessment(评定) and 30 marks as the onsite(现场) score. The process assessment is a test of basic daily sports like 50-meter running, 1-minute rope jumping, 1-minute sit- ups and so on. ___39___ In this way: young students can be encouraged to exercise more often and develop a habit of exercising.
The onsite score of 30 once seemed very exam-oriented(应试的). Students had limited(有限的) sporting activities to choose from, such as running (800m for girls and 1,000m for boys) or playing football, basketball or volleyball. ___40___ In a word, through the new plan, students will not only get to score higher but also play their preferred games.
A. They think it’s good for the students’ physical health.
B. But now, they can have 14 more choices to choose from.

D. Instead, it is to make sure that the young form healthy sporting habits.

七、作文
As students, we sometimes feel it boring to do homework every day, so doing creative homework can make us happier and more interested in English.
I have many good ideas about creative English homework because English is my favorite subject. Firstly, we can prepare for an English speech. It is a good chance for us to express ourselves in class and we will be more confident if we can value the opportunity. Secondly, if we draw mind maps to review our English notes, we will remember them well. Thirdly, it's also proud of us to make a video to introduce our traditional Chinese culture in English. We can post it online so that more foreigners can know about our great country. /What's more, we can learn to sing an English song and sing it in class. In this way, we can learn more words.
I hope we can have more creative English homework in the future.
