Ⅱ. 阅读理解 Passage 1 [2020·原创] Today we see writing all around us. 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 2 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?

Do you have a birthday party or get many best wishes from your friends or family? People celebrate birthdays almost in the same way—birthday 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. Parents often cook a bowl of very long noodles to wish the birthday child a long life. All of these ways to celebrate birthdays may be different, but the wishes of good luck and happiness are the same. 5.Which of the following is linked(有联系) to a long life? ( ) A.Putting the red and black bean cakes in the house in Korea. B.Picking up the things on the first birthday in China. C.Having a very big birthday party in Nigeria. D.Sharing the rice cakes with 100 people in Korea. 6.How do people usually celebrate their birthdays in the world?

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 Jill—Bob's neighbor”, helps you remember their names. The next time we see Frank and Jill, we try to call them by name. 5 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.
