三、阅读：

                    A.

“What’s in a name?” According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.

Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a “Jennifer” more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names---like John and David, Mary and Sarah---have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.

People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B.J. or R.C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar.

What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said, “In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”

21. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A. People change names in order to be popular with the new generation.

B. Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.

C. Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.

D. No names can stand the test of time.

22. When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that __________.

A. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning

B. you can name after a well-known person

C. surname should be paid attention to

D. you can create a name that is special

23. The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A. nickname  B. the first letter      C. short form  D. title

24. The author will name a new born baby girl __________.

A. Bertha             B. Fanny              C. Yunyun       D. Elizabeth

25. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Names have great significance to Americans.

B. Names change when time goes by.

C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.

D. Roses smell sweet by any other name.

 

21. C  从划线句子的下文看出，有些名字曾经很流行但现在就很过时了，说明某些名字的受欢迎程度是会变的。

22. D  文章最后一段建议不要生造名字。选项ABC都可以在第二段找到。

23. B  从B.J. or R.C.这两个例子看出，该词表示首字母。从第三段Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy这一例子看出，选项C表示缩短形式；选项D是称谓，不合题意。

24. D  用排除法。选项A、B可以在文中找到，都是作者不赞赏的例子；选项C是中文译名，也不好。

25. A  文章介绍在美国文化中，名字是相当重要的，所以要认真起好名字。关键词是name 和America，所以选项A最合适。

B

  The numbers show that Dikembe Mutombo is the oldest player in the NBA. The question is: Just how old is he?

  Well, whether he is 40 (according to NBA records), or 50, or somehow in-between, the veteran center of the Houston Rockets has been a source of inspiration and great play since he replaced Yao Ming, who suffered a fractures tibia in a Dec. 23 game.

  Since Yao got hurt, Mutombo has averaged 13.2 rebounds---getting double figures off the boards in the last eight games and 2.5 blocked shots. Recently he has passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar into second place on the all-time blocks list.

  “It’s amazing, just the way I’m playing,” the 7-foot-2-inch Mutombo said. “Even to myself, I’m sitting down like, ‘Whoa, is Mutombo really playing like that?’ I haven’t seen myself jumping for a rebound like that for a while. I am playing above the rim again. I feel real good. I have energy. I have new spring in my feet.”

       It’s been great to watch for the Rockets, who are 8-2 since Yao went down.

       In fact, the Rockets (25-13), who play the Marvericks on Tuesday night, has the fourth best record in the league, even though they are just third in their own division.

       Mutombo is the major reason why. His rejuvenated act has his teammates excited.

       “I have to pull him over to the side and tell him how great he looked,” Tracy McGrady said.

       Clippers star, power forward Elton Brand, said: “Mutombo’s giving them a great lift they probably didn’t expect.”

26. How many teams are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2              B. 3        C. 4              D. 5

27. The underlined word “spring” in paragraph 4 probably refers to __________.

A. the season between winter and summer

B. people’s best period in sports

C. a twisted piece of metal which can help people jump higher

D. a place where water comes up from the ground

28. Which of the following statements is not true about Mutombo?

A. He is the oldest player in the NBA.

B. He is the forward of the Houston Rockets.

C. He is seven feet and two inches.

D. He has moved to number two on blocked shot list.

29. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The Rockets have gained eight victories since Yao got hurt.

B. Elton Brand is Mutombo’s teammate.

C. The Rockets rank the fourth in their division.

D. Mutombo used to be looked down upon.

30. It can be inferred form the passage that __________.

A. Mutombo is somewhere between 40 and 50.

B. The Mavericks are better than the Rockets.

C. Mutombo gets most points in his team.

D. Yao Ming is the center of the Houston Rockets.

【答案解析】

26. B  文章提到the Rockets，the Mavericks和the Clippers三支队伍的名称。

27. C  从划线词前面的句子I haven’t seen myself jumping for a rebound like that for a while. I am playing above the rim again.可知，Mutombo惊讶于自己能够跳得高，仿佛脚里装了弹簧似的，所以这里的spring应该指弹簧。

28. B  从第二段可知Mutombo是center。其余三项都可在原文找到。

29. A  从第五段the Rockets, who are 8-2 since Yao went down得知A选项是对的。选项B Elton Brand 应是Clippers的前锋；选项C与第六段的内容不符；选项D文章没提到。

30. D  第二段提到Yao Ming受伤后Mutombo代替他的位置，因此可以推出他们的都是center。选项A，文章没确切交待准确数字，第二段只说了三种可能性；原文提到the Rockets曾经和the Mavericks交锋过，没说the Mavericks更好一些，所以B不对；文章没说Mutombo得分最高，所以C不对。
