Names are the quickest and easiest and the most friendly way to say whos who. Another nice thing about names is that they do not change as people do. Yesterday Marys hair was long. Today her hair is short. But her name is still Mary. On his birthday Uncle Brown did not have a moustache. At Christmas time he did. But his name is still Brown. People are always changing, a little or a lot. But peoples names remain the same.A name sometimes says something nice about someone. Girls names often come from words meaning “pretty” “happy” “loving” . Boys names are often borrowed from words which mean “strong” “brave”Do you know how your own name came into being?第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AA drunk walks into a bar and says to the waiter, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill.”So the waiter does just that and hands the man a bill for $57. The drunk says, “I havent got it.”The waiter slaps the guy around a few times, then throws him out into the street.The very next day the same drunk walks into the bar and once again says, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill.”The waiter looks at the guy and figures_to_himself that he cant possibly be stupid enough to play the same trick twice, so he gives him the benefit of the doubt, pours a round of drinks for the house, has a drink himself and hands the drunk a bill for $57. The drunk says, “I havent got it.”The waiter cant believe it. He picks the guy up, beats the living daylights out of him, then throws him out into the street.The next day the same drunk walks back into the same bar and says, “Waiter, buy everyone in the house a drink and give me the bill.” In disgust (厌恶), the waiter says, “What?

It means that other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Midautumn Festival. And lets not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best：its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.Its good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. Its good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isnt always greener.25The author thinks young Chinese _.A. are foolish in learning our own cultureB. are ignoring our own cultureC. are interested in our own cultureD. are hating our own culture答案与解析B参见第一段最后一句话。26In young Chinese peoples eyes, which of the following is NOT the “greener grass”？A. Japanese cartoon books.B. Korean soap operas.C. Christmas.D. The Midautumn Festival.答案与解析D在他们看来外国的草更绿，那么中秋节则不是“更绿的草”。由第一段最后一句话可知答案。27In the authors opinion, what is the best characteristic (特点) of Chinese culture?A. Friendly.B. Hardworking.C. Brave.D. Honest.答案与解析A第二段倒数第二句话告诉我们，作者最热爱的中国文化特征是“友善”。28What is the best title for the passage?A. Chinese Culture and Western CultureB. Simple Young ChineseC. That Grass Not Always GreenerD. Interesting Western Culture答案与解析C作者想要告诉我们，外国的月亮并不是更圆。CThe first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in Hollywood films such as Robocop and The Terminator. The robots in these films are stronger, faster and more intelligent than people.In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do many different jobs. Usually these jobs are too dangerous, difficult or boring for humans. Robots also help disabled people and people who cannot look after themselves. For example, scientists are making a robot to help blind people. Nowadays many blind people have a dog to help them. This dog is called a guide dog. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.One robot guide dog is called Meldog. It has wheels. It usually “walks” in front of its owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owners walk. Meldog talks to its owner by radio. The owner wears a special belt. This belt sends instructions to the owner from Meldog such as “Stop here”， “Turn left” and “Turn right”In the United States, another type of robot helps disabled workers. This robot, called Kilroy, helps disabled computer operators. The robot hears the sound of its owners voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” and “Make a cup of coffee”. This robot will bring its owner tissue paper when he or she sneezes!Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. For example, they shave patients and brush their teeth and take meals from the kitchen to the patients rooms. They never get lost because they have a map of the hospital in their computer memory.29Some robots in real life are _.A. dangerous B. boring C. film stars D. factory workers答案与解析D根据第二段第一句“In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. ”在现实生活中机器人主要被用在工厂里。D项正确。30Some disabled people need robots to _.A. make robots B. become scientists C. look after themselves D. do dangerous jobs答案与解析C根据文章举的例子可知有的机器人被用于给盲人导航，帮助残疾的电脑操作员，还有的在医院里照顾病人。本题选择C项。31Meldog is a _.A. blind dog B. robot scientistC. real dog D. robot guide dog答案与解析D根据第四段第一句“One robot guide dog is called Meldog. ”一种机器导盲犬叫做Meldog。D项正确。32. The robots used in American hospitals can do the following EXCEPT _.A. make a mapB. shave patientsC. brush the patients teethD. take meals from the kitchen to the patients rooms答案与解析A根据最后一段第三句“For example, they shave patients and brush their teeth and take meals from the kitchen to the patients rooms. ”例如，他们给病人刮胡子、刷牙和给病人把饭送到病房，没说会做地图。A项正确。DOf course, what is an ideal (理想) holiday for one person may be a very unpleasant one for another. The sportsman likes a kind of holiday which his lazy friend would find worse than his daily work，while the lazy mans ideal holiday would leave the sportsman quite unsatisfied.If I were allowed to choose my own holiday，I would have no doubts；I would go on a voyage in a modern passenger ship with a swimming bath. Even if my sportsman friend and my lazy friend came with me, they would both be happy; one would have plenty of games, swimming and dancing；the other could sit in a comfortable chair all day，looking at the sea and drinking lemonade (柠檬水) or beer. In a ship，one can do as one likes. If one day I find an interesting book in the ships library，I can spend the whole day reading it，and nobody will stop me. Perhaps the next day I shall want some exercise. Well, then I can play games with other passengers until I am hot and sweating and ready for a bath. I can go and sleep in my cabin at any time of the day or night, I can get cheap drinks during most of the day，and I can eat as I like，choosing among a variety of foods.But what I like even more about a sea voyage is the chance to meet new and interesting people from many countries. What other kind of holiday gives us such a chance? Freed from (从解脱) all the duties of life at home, we can talk, play games, swim, drink, sing and dance with our new friends. They can tell us about their own countries, their daily lives and amusements, their hopes and their fears. And in return we can tell them all about ourselves.But perhaps the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new ports in strange lands，and going ashore for a few hours to see strange places, eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us. Whenever I think of my ideal holiday，it is the picture of a mysterious foreign city that comes to my mind.33The best title for the passage is _.A. Traveling by ShipB. The Pleasures of a Sea HolidayC. An Ideal HolidayD. Different People，Different Happiness答案与解析C文章开头就提出“. what is an ideal (理想) holiday for one person may be a very unpleasant one for another.”的问题，第二段说“If I were allowed to choose my own holiday .”，最后一段又提到“Whenever I think of my ideal holiday, .”。34On a ship, we can talk with strangers pleasantly because _.A. we are all out of workB. we dont have the pressure of work at the moment and we are trying to enjoy the voyageC. we will say “goodbye” soonD. they are our special friends with whom we can share our secrets答案与解析B“Freed from all the duties of life at home .”就是能够与陌生人愉快地聊天的原因。35To the writer, the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is _.A. making both sportsman friend and lazy friend satisfiedB. doing whatever he likesC. meeting interesting strangers from other countriesD. arriving in strange places and having new and exciting experiences答案与解析D文章的最后一段的第一句说“the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new ports in strange lands (就是arriving in strange places), and going ashore for a few hours to see strange places, eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us (也即having new and exciting experiences)”，由此可知答案为D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. _36_ They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability._37_ A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others, He puts himself in the other persons place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. _38_ He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me._39_ I can always depend on a good friend. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a f
