But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; 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 happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”. The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest. Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths 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 their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, 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 very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer. Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell. 56. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters. C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations. 57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _. A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or contains D. built houses and furniture58. Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _. A. Beatrice Smith B. Leonard CarterC. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood59. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _. A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later sponsorsCWhen next years crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, theyll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, wholl become Oxfords vice-chancellora position equivalent to university president in America.Hamilton isnt the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, its gone global. Yet the talent flow isnt universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools dont tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the universitys budget. “We didnt do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the boards chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yales financial position.”Of course, fund-raising isnt the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.41. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?A) Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B) A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.C) American universities are enrolling more international students.D) University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.42. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?A) The political correctness. B) Their ability to raise funds.C) Their fame in academic circles. D) Their administrative experience.43. What do we learn about European universities from the passage?A) The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.B) Their operation is under strict government supervision.C) They are strengthening their position by globalization.D) Most of their revenues come from the government.44. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _.A) she was known to be good at raising moneyB) she could help strengthen its ties with YaleC) she knew how to attract students overseasD) she had boosted Yales academic status45. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?A) They can enhance the universitys image.B) They will bring with them more international faculty.C) They will view a lot of things from a new perspective.D) They can set up new academic disciplines.DI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language the way it can evoke（唤起）an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence (本质), but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.61. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that .A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession62.

Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.64. It can be inferred that the English the authors mother used was .A. well structured B. in the old styleC. easy to translate D. rich in meaning65. What is the passage mainly about?A. The authors experiences of using different Englishes.B. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English.C. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother.D. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English.四 、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25分）假定你叫王华，你的英国笔友Robert来信询问全球金融危机对你家生活的影响。请你根据以下内容用英语给他写封回信：1、影响：爸爸或妈妈失业，收入减少。2、如何应对：家庭削减支出，增加收入。3、对未来充满信心。 注意：1词数110个左右。2信的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。3适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Robert,Thank you for your concern about our life in the global financial crisis._ Yours faithfully,Wang Hua一 、单项填空【答案】A【解析】考查副词。此处考查表示上下连接关系的副词。A项“不管怎样”；B项“而且”；C项“否则”；D项“因此”； 根据句意：多么可怕的经历！_， 主要的事情是，现在你是安全的。可知答案为A。解析：句意为：我们向旅行社投诉旅行途中糟糕的服务，但是到现在还没有人对此作出回应。respond答复；响应，符合句意。deserve值得；recover康复；痊愈；survive存活下来，幸存。答案：A解析：下句意为：依我来看，与其说你的儿子笨倒不如说他懒。more.than与其说倒不如说，符合句意，故C项正确。答案：C答案：A考查动词时态。句意为：你知道水立方吗？不知道，我是第一次来这里。This/Itbe序数词timethat从句，从句中要用完成时态，此为固定用法。如be动词为is，则用现在完成时；若be动词为was，则用过去完成时。故答案选A。【译文】 布朗太太看她修好的洗衣机又坏了很失望。【答案及简析】 D。 考查have sth. done结构,原句含定语从句the washing machine that s he had repaired二 、完形填空【答案】3640 DBCAB 4145 ACDBD4650 ACDBA 5155CDBCA 三 、阅读理解答案：64-67 CDDA56选B，根据文中4,5,6三段可知只有B选项未提及57选C文中第六段potter-a person
