请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Usually, 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?” Every one gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do th ey come from? What do they mean?
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their par ents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a wel l-
known person. A boy could be named George Washington S
mith; 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 happin ess”; Donald means “w orld ruler”; Leonard means “as brave a s a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably live d near brook(小溪)；
someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The 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 pe rson who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, s miths 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 th eir neighbors in their native village. The Car penter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or ski n, 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 v ery tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probab ly an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fa st runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the fa ther’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –
son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts fam ily’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Ma c or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the MacDo nnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donn ell.
( ) 1. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the p assage NOT cover?
A. Places where people lived.
B. People’s characters.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People’s occupations.选B，根据文中4,5,6三段可知只有B选项未提及
( ) 2. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter fa mily most probably _______.
A. owned or drove a cart
B. made things with metals
C. made kitchen tools or contains
D. built houses and furni ture
选C文中第六段potter-a person who made pots and pans,可
知potter 意为一个制作茶壶和平底锅的人，由此推断选C
( ) 3. Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived nea r a leafy forest wanted their new-
born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A. Beatrice Smith
B. Leonard Carter
C. George Longstreet
D. Donald Greenwood
选D根据文中倒数第2段可知一些人取名是根据特征而来。

比如灰色头发的人取名john Gray，高个的人取名john Tallman.所以根据题意，居住在森林旁边的人取名为Donald Greenw ( ) 4. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragrap h means a person’s _____
A. later generations
B. friends and relatives
C. colleagues and partners
D. later sponsors
选A 根据最后一段第一二行
“some family names were made by adding something to the f ather’s name. The Johnsons are descendants of John可知descendants指的是后代。

It is reported that conservation groups in North America have
been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Som e groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believ e wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear fro m the wilderness (荒野)
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. How ever．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sport smen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in t he wilderness also hunt deer for food．Many of the animals h ave been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by c hanges in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，
their prey(猎
物)will disappear some day．And the wolves will．too．So w e must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance th e ecology．If we killed more wolves，
we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also save some farm animals．
In another northern state，
wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem．They b elieve it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population．
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago，
you would have heard many different stories about the danger ous wolf．According to most stories，
hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，
the stories of the “big bad wolf'＂will not disappear．
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldo m travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolve s eat other animals，
they usually kill the very young．or the sick and injured .The s trongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived throu gh the centuries if the weak members had lived．And has alw ays been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and t heir prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer populat ion from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live ar e being used by people．Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enoug h food .So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a f arm．Then there is danger．The “big bad wolf” has arrived! A nd everyone knows what happens next．
( ) 1. According to the passage，
some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the f ollowing reasons EXCET that ．
A. there are too many wolves
B. they kill large numbers deer
C. they attack cows and chickens for food
D. they destroy the wilderness plant life
选D根据文中小标题For killing wolves 第一段第三行
“so the wolf population has increased”第三段第一句和第四段第一句话，可知选项D不是原因
( ) 2. Some people are against killing wolves because ．
A. wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wideness
B. there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C. there are too many deer in the wilderness
D. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
选A小标题Against killing wolves 中第三段最后一句
( ) 3. According to those against killing wolves，
when wolves eat other animals，．
A. they never eat strong and healthy ones
B. they always go against the law of nature
C. they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
选C 小标题Against killing wolves 中第二段最后两行可知强者生存，弱者淘汰是自然法则
( ) 4. The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases .
A. farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped awa y
B. wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C. wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D. people will leave the areas where wolves can live
选B 文中最后一段可知狼居住的地方被人类占据，它们就会跑到就近的农场等地吃人，那么人类就会反过来杀死它们。
