48、wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research,no one has yet found the answerOne explanation offered by scientists is that people are more likely to stay together indoors in cold weather than at other times, and this makes

53、D. the continued spread of common colds.DPeople often have the impression that Chinese characters are extremely difficult to learn. In fact, if you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters, you would find that they are not nearly as difficult as you may have imagined. And they certainly
54、qualify as forming one of the most attractive, beautiful, logical(合乎逻辑的), and scientifically constructed(构造) writing systems in the world. Each stroke(笔画)has its own special significance. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters, you will find it very easy to remember even the most c
55、omplicated looking character, and never miss a stroke.The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into tortoise shells and ox bones. The majority of these characters are pictographs. Archaeologists of various countries have learned that most early wri
56、ting systems went through a pictographic stage, as did the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Most writing systems, however, eventually developed a phonetic(表示语音的)alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical world.One notable feature of Chinese characte
57、rs is the radical. Radical in English means root. For example, the characters yu language, shuo talk, i discuss, opinion, and lun discuss all share the yen radical, which means language, and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a whole. The characters hsiu rotten, shan cedar, t
58、ao peach, and lin forest, all contain the mu wood or tree radical, indicating one of their shared key characteristics. If you know the radical of a character, you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character it is a part of. Although there is a theoretical total of almost 50,000 wr
59、itten Chinese characters, only about 5,000 of these are frequently used; and the total number of radicals is only 214. So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so formidable a task as it may at first seem.68. According to the author, Chinese characters are _.A. extremely difficult to lear
60、n B. as difficult as you may have imaginedC. difficult to remember D. scientifically constructed69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the Chinese characters are pictographs.B. Some strokes are more important than others.C. There are rules in forming the Chines
61、e characters.D. Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet.70. The passage is mainly about _.A. the Chinese writing systemB. the strokes of the Chinese charactersC. pictographsD. the radical of the Chinese characters第 卷 (两部分 共35分)第四部分 任务型阅读 (共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格
