My great-aunt Emma was rather a terrifying old lady. She had been the headmistress of quite an important girls' boarding school and she had come, over the years, to look upon everyone as backward and naughty (淘气) school-girls, especially members of her own family. My brother and I were never very happy when she came to visit us and used to spend as much time out of the house as we possibly could. Luckily for us, even though she had given up teaching many years before, she still led a very full social life and had little time for family visits.
But I remember that once she came to bur house for a long weekend during the summer. Mother thought that a few days by the sea would do her good. George and I were sent to the station to meet her, and this time we hadn't been able to find a reasonable excuse to get out of it. There was no doubt about our being able to recognize her at the station as she was always dressed in the same fashion. It was not that she was short of clothes; in fact she had a vast selection, but they all looked exactly the same.

[ ]
2．Aunt Emma used to ________.

[ ]
A．she wanted to live by the sea
B．she was invited

[ ]

People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hun??ted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or per??haps human beings have always wanted to tell stories accord??ing to pictures.
About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet(字母表).
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell sto??ries by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was bur??ied. Some of these pictures are like modem comic-strip sto??ries. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic-strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area a-round the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days we can write down a story, or record informa??tion, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the streets, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pic??tures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.
6. Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because ________.
A. the hunters wanted to see the pictures B. the painters were animal lovers
C. the painters wanted to show imagination D. the pictures were thought to be helpful
7.The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A. the former was easy to write B. there were fewer signs in the former
C. the former was easy to pronounce D. each sign stood for only one sound
8. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet.
B. The Egyptians liked to write comic-strip stories.
C. The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.
D. The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyp??tians.
9. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures __________.
A. should be made comprehensible B. should be made interesting
C. are of much use in our life D. are disappearing from our life
