14、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题 All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map, and so people can askdirections to them. Americans name a lot of bridges, too. Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike, for example. Or,likethe George Washington Bridge, roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers. We make a big deal out of naming things, as when someone decided to name an airport after a U. S. judge. Sonow we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Many,if not most, of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to theschools. And our sports centers took this idea a step further. Companies paid a whole lot of money for what´s calledthe "naming rights" to U. S. Cellular Field in Chicago, for example, and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Now the governor(州长) of Virginia, Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state. He says not just companies, but also wealthy people, would help the Virginia transportation budget(预算) by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges, and thus on maps as well. People hold different views, however. Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored(赞助). Others disagree, considering the idea as the next step in the "companies of America. " They wonder how far such anidea might spread, and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean, perhaps. {TS}Most of the roads need to have names so that__________. （单选题）
A. they can remind people of the past
B. people can learn about them better
C. they can be easily recognized on maps
D. people can enjoy naming them

17、根据下面材料回答{TSE}题： Passage Four Magic(魔法)often forces us not to believe our own eyes or even appears to be breaking the laws of physics or nature! The word“magic”has many different meanings．When a bird appears in a hat or when someone declares that he could see into the future--both can be called magic．When a sick person suddenly becomes well or a well person(or even animal)becomes ill, magic is the cause．The British author Terry Pratchett uses magic a great deal in his popular Discworld series of books． Magic has always been used for fun．People enjoy working out in which cup the little ball is or how he knows which card l was thinking of．Harry Houdini was one of the first world-famous magicians—famous for escaping from deadly situations．Recently David Copperfield，or David Blane，has become very popular for his“unbelievable abilities”，such as making the Statue of Liberty disappear or rise． Magical rings and three—headed dogs may not be real，but does this mean nothing magical really exists? Can you always explain how the magician has done the card trick? Maybe it is better not to explain，but to leave a little magic in our lives．Pick a card．any card．．． {TS}The author explains what magic is in paragraph 1 by ______．（单选题）

19、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题 It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times. About three decades ago, French was recognized as the language of diplomacy (外交), and German was considered the language of science and technology. English now dominates(主导) not only as the language of science but also diplomacy, computing, and tourism. Today, in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world´s largest language. Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world. Some haveeven fixed the date as early as the year 2020. At present, while English is more widely spoken than any otherlanguage,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If Chinadoes become a world power, there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide. As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues, there are many who feelthat the dominance of English is unique and irreversible (不可逆的 ). However, a separate study from David Graddol´s suggests that English´s dominance in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that theEnglish language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as aworld power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language. {TS}Which language is now considered as the language of diplomacy? （单选题）
A. French.
B. Chinese.
C. German.
D. English.
