3.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.DAnne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes , women use their own name in some situations （情况）and their husband’s in other situations . And some use both their own name and their husband’s.根据短文内容，完成下面表格。different peoplereason to change the nameHannaIt is ____61____ for people to remember.JosephHe wants to have a name that’s ____62_____.famous peopleTheir name may sound _____63_____.Li KaimingUsing different names can make ____64_____ easier.a womanAfter she gets _____65_____, she may change her name.61._________________________________________________________________________

  • 第5题：

    Almost everyone knows the meaning of "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Miss&q

    Almost everyone knows the meaning of "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Miss". "Mr." is used before the names of gentlemen. "Mrs." is for married women and "Miss" is for single women. But what is "Ms."?

    For some time, businessmen in the US have used "Ms." before a woman's name when they do not know whether or not the woman is marrieD.Today, however, many women prefer to use "Ms." rather than "Mrs." or "Miss". The word "Mr." does not tell us whether a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether or not they are marrieD.

    There are some problems with "Ms.", however. Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. ("Ms." sounds like [miz].) Generally, young women like it better than older women do. It is difficult to know whether "Ms." will be used by more American women in the future or not. What do you think of this change?

    1. Many young women prefer to use "Ms." because ________.

    ：A.they think themselves as good as men

    B.it doesn't tell whether they're married or not

    C.the word sounds more pleasant than "Mrs." does

    D.the word has been used for a long time

    Call American Their Names

    A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used.Americans have little concern for"rank",especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank;it makes them feel uncomfortable.Many Americans even find the terms"Mr.","Mrs."or"Miss" too formal.People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names."Don't call me Mrs. Smith.Just call me Sally."Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However,if you do not feel comfortable using only first names,it is quite acceptable to be more formal.Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.
    Very often,introductions are made using both first and last names:"Mary Smith,this is John Jones."In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady"Mary"or"Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names,and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.You have a choice:if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.

    Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A:The way names are used in America is different from those of other countries.
    B:Many Americans are used to being called by their first names.
    C:It shows friendliness and kindness to use only first names.
    D:When you talk to people in the United States,you have to use their first names.

    答案：D
    解析：
    第一段讲美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。比较四个选项，D项的意思最准确、最符合原文。
    第一段原文提到：多数美国人因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬时会感到局促不安。所以选C。 "uncomfortable”在本文中应该理解为“局促不安的”(ill at ease; uneasy）。
    第一段结尾提到：如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是第一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼：所以与美国人谈话并不一定必须（have to)称呼名字。
    从引文的上下文中可以推断出“Mrs.Smith”是比较正式的称呼，而美国人更喜欢直接称呼名字。所以选择B。
    本文主要介绍美国的社会习俗―社交场合的称呼，与历史无关，不是通知的形式，更不是短篇小说。所以最可能出现在旅游指南上。

    问答题
    Most Americans have great vigor and enthusiasm. They prefer to discipline themselves rather than be disciplined by others. They pride themselves on their independence, their right to make up their own minds. They are prepared too take the initiative, even when there is a risk in doing so. They have courage and do not give in easily. They will take any sort of job anywhere rather than be unemployed. They do not care to be looked after by the government. The average American changes his or her job nine or ten times during his or her working life.

    正确答案：
    大多数的美国人精力充沛,热情高涨。他们宁愿自律,也不愿受制于人。他们为能独立行事和有权做出自己的决定而感到自豪。他们做事会采取主动,即使这样做要冒风险,也在所不惜。他们有勇气,不会轻易屈服。他们愿意到任何地方干任何工作,也不愿意失业。他们不想得到政府的照顾。普通美国人一生中要换九到十次工作。
