葫芦岛2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

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. 1. 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 language. 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. 2. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s Chinese characters.

3. 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 the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang united (统一) all other Warring States into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. 4. 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 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 it. 5. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.

24、One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms (习语) and then use them. Idioms can add interest to what you say or write. 【1】 Like other languages, English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations. So how do you learn them?

Learn idioms in the context.

【2】 Instead, learn their meanings in the context. Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used, and know clearly whether it’s common. This is important, because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation, it won’t sound natural.

Don’t try to learn too many at one time.

Idioms can be difficult. 【3】 And also you’ll need to practice your new idioms (like any new word) , so limit what you do in any lesson.

【4】

We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion (感情) . So for example, we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a valuable metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person. In fact, it does mean that a person is very kind.

Listen out for idioms.

If you hear two words used together in an unusual way, it might be a new idiom. Sometimes you can guess its meaning in the context. However, you might usually need to make a note of it. 【5】

A．Understand the feeling.

B．Don’t learn idioms by making lists.

C．English idioms are hard to understand.

D．Or you might ask the person who has spoken it.

E．They make you sound more like a native speaker.

F．For that reason, don’t try to learn more than five at one time.
