Sometimes to express ideas,some characters were made by connecting 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 know the differences between their meanings by looking at them,for example,the characters for "up"and "down",which are opposites of each other. 米 休 囚 上 下 man tree rest prisoner up down 以 mountain 5Though these kinds of characters show meanings,they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore,a method was developed to have one part of a character show the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation.Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. 6In the 1950s,the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large popularity.And now they have widespread use in China. 21.What were the earliest Chinese characters mainly based on? A.Animal sounds. B.Simplified shapes. C.Drawings of objects. D.Mathesymbols. 22.How does the writer introduce the Chinese characters in Paragraph 4? A.By giving examples. B.By providing causes. C.By expressing opinions. D.By comparing facts. 23.Which Chinese character used the method of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? A.亦 B.竹 C.明 D.桐 24.What can we learn from the passage? A.Chinese characters have tumed into standard forms and they are easier than before. B.Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C.Chinese characters keep the same symbols like those in ancient times. D.Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. e5.In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A.Fun. B.Culture. C.Nature. D.Revicw. 初二英语期末测试第4页共7页 小红指 小T书号：26820538538 三、信息还原阅读短文，从所给选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Docs talking in front of pcoplc make you shy?If so,you arc not alone.Many people in the world hawm the same problem and want to make a change.However,it takes time and effort to solve the problem.26 Find out the cause of your shyncss.Do you become shy in front of new listeners?Please try to find out what you think of before the shyness comes out.You're okay being around your family,right?27.Of course not.You just know them better and what's more,they know you as well.
