And to each person his name is important because it is what he is known by.Remember how you don't like it if people fail to remember your name, or pronounce it wrong? Remember how you like seeing your own name printed in the newspaper or even on the blackboard at school? That's because it is your own name and you are represented by it.Of course, names aren't important themselves. But they are useful in our life. You don't have to go around shouting, "Hey, you!" or "Hell, Girl-with-the-red-hair." A person's name does mean something. For example, John means "present". James means "he follows after". Frank means "free". Mary means "star of the sea". Helen means "light", Edith, "happiness". Rhoda is a "rose".Now first names are all we need when we're at home. For it is unlikely that sisters or brothers have the same first name. But it's different when you go out. You may have a lot of Johns and Davids and Sues. You could get all mixed up not knowing who was who. That's why last names started. And last names are really nicknames (绰号).It happened like this: There was a certain Richard. Since his father's name was James, he was called "Richard, son of James", and later just "Richard Jameson".The place where they lived gave some people their last names. For example, Mr. Short was talking about Joseph."Which Joseph?" someone might ask."Why, the Joseph who lives in the field."And right then that Joseph had a last name: Joseph Field.题目选项：26. If your name is pronounced wrong, you will probably _______.A、feel badB、not mind1C、feel happyD、be surprised正确答案：A27. Your name is useful to you because _______.A、you can be called by name but not something elseB、it means something1C、it will bring you fortuneD、it can show your nature正确答案：A28.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A、Brothers and sisters often call each other by their full names.1B、"Jameson" is usually used as a person's first name.C、Parents often call their children by their nicknamesD、Last names can help to distinguish one people from another.正确答案：D30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、NamesB、First Names, Last Names and Nicknames1C、Meanings of NamesD、How Some Names Come into Being正确答案：APassage 3Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs make us think of our childhood or youth. Others make us think of the people we love. Many important occasions (场合), like weddings (婚礼) and funerals (葬礼), have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American "The Star-Spangled Banner" (《星条旗之歌》).In the US, high schools and colleges have school songs too. Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people.As the years pass, the music grows and changes. Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radio, movies, electric instruments (乐器), tape recorders and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of communication around the world.Music is one of American's most important exports (输出). American Music, from the earliest folk songs to modern "pop", is known around the world. Even when people cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music.Many people learn and practise English by singing songs. Understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture. So, as the song says, "Put a dime in the jukebox (投币自动电唱机), baby." Let's listen to the music!题目选项：1 36.

It is as vital (至关重要的) to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn't wear glasses. The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned (有关的) to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know. The children still don't know.She had a number of tactics (策略) for hiding her difficulty－for example, never lingering (逗留) near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn't read them stories, but their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient（精通的）reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, "What's that all about?" Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in their ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic (家庭的) correspondence (信件) and bills (帐单) himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to find the truth. While he is away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discussed it with her husband.Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she has worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and has eventually been promoted (提升) to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties.题目选项：31. Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because______. 1A、she is always so forgetfulB、she uses it as a purseC、it may provide her with an excuseD、she wishes to look like an educated woman正确答案：C32. The word "fish" in the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______.A、catchB、search1C、examineD、touch正确答案：B33. From the passage it can be seen that ______.A、Brenda has had no formal educationB、Brenda didn't get along with her workmates1C、Brenda's husband doesn't show any concern for herD、Brenda never shows any concern for her family正确答案：A34. Which of the following is not Brenda's tactic for hiding her reading difficulty in reading?A、Never lingering near a phone at work.1B、Getting her son to read for her.C、Saying she can decide nothing when her husband is away.D、Quitting her job as a waitress.正确答案：D35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?1A、A Woman Who Doesn't Wear GlassesB、Brenda and Her FamilyC、A Woman with an Empty Spectacles CaseD、A Successful Woman正确答案：CSection BDirections: Read the following passage, and complete the outline. (10 points)More than half a century ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England, in 1939 from Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injury center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years the Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1,064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The person who started the annual games for the disabled: (41)___________ The task Sir Ludwig Guttmann was asked to do: (42)____________The interval (间隔时间) between early games for the disabled: (43)______________The place where the 1960 Olympic Games were held: (44)_______________ The place where the 1984 wheelchair Olympic games were held: (45)_____________正确答案：41.
