2.AUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.56. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived.B. People’s characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.

4.A dream is one kind of experience.It seems as real as something that actually happens; in it the dreamer takes actions and reacts.During dreams the body is asleep but the thinking part of the brain is wide awake.In fact, it is more active than it sometimes is when the body is awake.One group of researchers decided to see what would happen if they stopped people from dreaming.As soon as the electroencephalograph (脑电图仪) registered a dream pattern, researchers woke the dreamer.They did this all night for several nights, every time the person started to dream.The experiment revealed that people who were unable to dream became nervous, easily upset, and hungrier.As soon as they were able to sleep without interruptions they lost their nervousness and became normal again; however, they then had more dreams than usual.It was as if they were catching up on their dreams.To check these findings, the researchers carried on a control experiment.Again they woke people during the night, but during non-dreaming periods.These people did not change their daytime behavior.And when they were allowed to sleep without interruptions (打断), the number of their dreams did not increase.Experiments like these have caused scientists to ask if dreams serve a purpose.Researchers know, for example, that some people who go for days without sleep will suffer from hallucinations (幻觉).Certain people even begin to show signs of mental illness.Some researchers believe that people become this way because they cannot have their usual numbers of dreams.According to this theory dreaming helps people to lead normal lives.1).This passage is mainly about ________.A.people’s need for dreamsB.the damage dreams do to people’s healthC.dreams and realitiesD.the relationship between dreams and diseases2).According to the passage, dreams ________ .A.are considered to be people’s real experiencesB.help cure people of nervousness and mental illnessC.happen in the thinking part of the brainD.cannot go on as before after the dreamer is woken3).People who slept with interrupted dreams showed signs of the following sufferings EXCEPT________ .A.nervousnessB.anxietyC.hungerD.sleepiness4).When people were woken during non-dreaming periods, they ________.A.suffered from hallucinationsB.felt upset and nervousC.had more dreams than usualD.remained normal in their daytime behavior5).The sentence “It was as if they were catching up on their dreams” in Para.3 probably means ________.A.they seemed to do as their dreams dad told them toB.they seemed to make up for the losses of dreamsC.they seemed to dream less because of the interruptionsD.they seemed to sleep more after the interruptions

    第三篇

    People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted 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 perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
    About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as 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 there people used became a kind of alphabet.
    The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories 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 buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stones.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But for 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 1000 BC,people who lived in the area around 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 alphebet is now used all over the world.
    These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawing,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.

    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

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题是细节考查题。原文是“无人知晓为何会画在那里,或许画画的人认为这些图能帮他们捉住这些动物,或者人类总是通过图画来叙述故事”。选项A“猎人想看到这些图画”;选项B“画图的人喜爱动物”;选项C“画图的人想展现自己的想象力”;选项D“图画被认为是有用的”。根据文章第一段可知,答案为D。
    本题是细节考查题。原文是“他们画出简单的图或符号来代表事物和思想,以及他们所用语言的发音。这些人用的符号就成为了字母表”。选项A“物品”;选项B “字母表,';选项C“思想”;选项D“所用语言的发音”。由此可知答案为B。
    本题是细节考查题。题目问:希腊字母表比埃及的简单,以下哪个不是其原因?选项A“希腊字母更易写”;选项B“希腊字母数量更少”;选项C“希腊字母更好发音”, 这一点文章未提及;选项D“每个符号仅代表一个发音”。由此可知答案为C。
    本题是细节考查题。选项A“埃及人用的符号后来变成一种字母表”,选项B“埃及人喜欢画漫画故事”;选项C"罗马字母表由埃及的演变而来”;选项D“希腊人模仿埃及人的书写系统”。综观全文可知,答案为A。
    本题是综合阅读能力考查题。选项A“应该让人容易理解”;选项B“应该有趣”;选项C“在生活中很有用”;选项D“从生活中消失了”。由本文最后一段可知,答案为C。

    A. was;was

    C. were ;were
    D. were ;was

    答案:D
    解析:
    引出定语从句的关系代词作从句的主语,而它又前指复数名词“people”,所以考虑到主谓一致谓语动词用“were”。一个名词后有“as well as”引出的短语时,单复数仍然以那个名词本身的单复数确定。此处主句主语是“Janet",单数第三人称,所以谓语用“was”。故选D。

  • 第17题:

    资料:In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
    Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
    In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
    In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
    What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

    In the second example,more people choose the option( )?

    A.with a one-third probability that nobody will die
    B.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be saved
    C.allowing 400 people to die
    D.that 200 people will be saved

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】second example;more people choose the option
    【主题句】in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。
    【解析】本题的问题是“在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于哪个选择?”。根据原文可知,选项B以及选项D为第二个例子中的措辞,故排除B、D。(In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.)结合主题句,“in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。”故选A。

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查分词作定语的用法。从句子结构分析,空白处缺少的不是谓语,排除A项;如把B项视为定语从句,people和kill在此句中应是被动关系,故B项也排除;C、D两项如果填入空白处,都符合语法结构,分词作定语。但现在分词作定语表主动关系,只有D项正确。分词作定语与定语从旬用法一致,killed=who were killed。

  • 第22题:

    问答题
    Who are happier, modern people or people in the past?  

    正确答案: Well, people in the past were happier than today I think. Because life in the past is fairly simple and they didn’t have many difficulties to overcome. The living environment in the past was more clean and safe than today and people were in a harmonious environment. However, people in the modern society face all kinds of competition so I think people in the past lived a light-hearted life.

    可以说过去的生活较为轻松,没有很多困难和压力,人们生活地相对简单。然而,在现代社会中,人们无时无刻不在竞争。 因此,过去的生活比现在幸福。

    文章第一段第四句话“It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger,she looked so calm and seaworthy.”意思是海岸上的人压根没想到油轮身处险境,她看上去是那么的安静并且适应海上的生活,说明岸上的人并不知道这艘船发生了什么事,显然D对。
