2025-2026学年台湾南投初三(下)期末试卷英语

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. 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.

  (2012湖北咸宁)

  Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county．Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night．I was so tired and exhausted．My whole life was hopeless．Then one day I read the following article from a magazine：

  “A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert(沙漠)during the war．She simply hated the place：the heat was almost unbearable，125 degree in the shade，the wind blew incessantly，and there was sand—sand everywhere．Finally，in desperation(不顾一切地)she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn’t stand it another minute and was coming home．

  Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father—just two lines：

  ‘Two men looked out from prison bars．One saw the mud，and the other saw stars．’

  The daughter did some real thinking，not only with the intellect(思维)but also with her heart．She decided to stick to her post．

  She made friends with the natives，learned to love the country，and eventually wrote a book about it．

  The desert hadn’t changed，but her attitude had．Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent，a whole new world opened up to her．”

26、During the last winter holiday, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful. We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage（行李）, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.
