The most popular names in the west
Every year in English­speaking countries，people list the most popular names.Here are some examples.In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily，Emma and Madison.For boys，they are Michael，Joshua and Mathew.In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace，Jessica or Ruby.If they have a little boy they could call him Jack，Thomas or Oliver.
In China names have very clear meanings.If a girl is called Mei，her name means “beautiful”.If a boy is called Wu，his name means “like a soldier”. Names in English­speaking countries are like this too.The girl's name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be joyful and bring joy to others.If a girl is called Ruby，it may be because of the beautiful red precious（宝贵的）stone.
Parents often pick names that can be shortened.This can be confusing（困惑的）for Chinese people.Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal way.
For example，a popular name is William.But William can be shortened to Will，Willy，Bill and Billy.The same is true of the favourite old name for a girl，Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth，Liza and Liz.
Another reason why kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone who is famous，such as an actor，a pop music star or a sports star. David is a popular name in Britain，partly because of the fame of the footballer David Beckham.
51．In Britain，people may call a little girl ______.
A．Emily B．Grace C．Mathew D．Oliver
52．What does the word “this” mean in the third paragraph？
A．Name. B．Country.
C．Meaning. D．Having very clear meanings.
53．Which name may have something to do with “gladness”？

54．In English­speaking countries，parents often choose shortened names because they want to keep what they and their children talk about ______.

Too many peop le want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friends’ trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to
give your lunch money on your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding.
55. Some friendships don’t last very long because ____.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends.
B. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others.
C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others.
D. they don’t know friendship is something serious.
56. According to the passage honesty is _____.
A. something good
B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money
D. more important than anything else
57. The underlined word “generosity” means _____.
A．慷慨 B．节约 C．吝啬 D．和气
58. Which of the following isn’t mentioned (提及)in the passage?
A. Always tell your friend the truth.
B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
C
The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.
Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at language learning than older learners but they also have special challenges. Young children don’t usually h ave the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.
The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the “New Englishes” now used around the world.
Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.
Learning English has always involved both pain and pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners will be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how, what and when they
will learn.
Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.
59. Compared to older learners, young English learners ________.
A. are more active in learning
B. are more hard-working in learning
C. have more difficulties in learning
D. have less lasting determination in learning
60. What can we learn about the future English language?
A. British English will be more popular.
B. American English will be more popular.
C. Most people will speak standard English.
D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.
61. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.
B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the futu re.
C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.
D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English learning.
62. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Learning English means no pain in the future.
B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.
C. English learners will become less independent in the future.
D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.
D
If you are a human, you can’t help but experi ence
the time when everything seems to be going wrong and
you feel as if your life is completely out of control.
It is during the low time that words of encouragement
from family, friends, co­workers or even strangers can
boost your spirits. It is also during the low time that
destructive words can be devastating(毁灭性的) and
make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of
frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of
them fell into a deep pit(深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those
opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.
63．Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect(忽视) the other frogs’ comments?
A．Because he would like to jump out of the pit.
B．Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.
C．Because he didn’t want to give up his hope.
D．Because he had a positive attitude toward life.
64．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．There is no way to go when we go wrong.
B．Life depends on encouragement.
C．Destructive words will lead to death.
D．Words are playing an important role around us.
65．The writer mainly wants to tell us ________ in the last paragraph.
A．the power of words
B．positive words
C．negative words
D．the opportunities to say something

Dear Health Expert,
I have got a problem and I need to ask for your help. I feel I am a little too fat. What’s worse, I am putting on wei ght all the time. I am very worried about my figure and how I look. I even fear that some of my classmates call me names.
At one time, I tried to work out in a gym two or three times, but I finally gave up just because I had no time for it and always felt very tired after doing exercise. Once I tried going on a diet. However, after about a week, I could not go on because I felt so hungry that I was not able to continue my studies. Then I bought and took weight-loss pills in secret. Shortly after, they did work and I was losing weight fast. But soon I felt tired and weak sometimes.
I know those pills usually have bad effects on our health. Thus, I don’t know what I should do. Could you be kind enough to give some good advice?
Best wishes
Xiao Wei。
