Question

--Do you know when the Chinese custom_________ from?
--It's hard to say. But its characteristics__________ the Tang Period.

A．began; prove

B．started; show

C．dates; suggest

D．is; appear

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查动词短语和动词辨析。date from追溯到；prove证明；show显示；suggest暗示，表明；appear出现。句意：--你知道中国风俗习惯可以追溯到什么时候吗？--这很难说。但是，它的特征暗示唐朝。A、B的时态不正确，故选C。
