is it a boy or a girl? john: an eight-pound boy. they named him francis. thats spelled with an “i” before the “s”, you know. kate: thats right. frances with an “e” is a girls name. but they are both pronounced the same. why did they name your nephew francis? john: i dont know. they considered a lot of other names, like richard, edward, philip, david, and several others. kate: what if the baby had been a girl? didnt they have any girls names in mind? john: they couldnt agree on any. whenever he suggested a girls name, she said, “i hate that name!” some people have very strong feelings about names. kate: i think most people do. sometimes i decided not to like someone i havent even met, just because i dont like his name. john: that reminds me of something i read a few days ago. somebody had found out that school children with certain names get low marks in school just because of their names. kate: their family names? john: no, their first names. thats what the article said. 1. the first sentence “has your sisters baby arrived yet?” means _. a. has your sisters baby come here yet? b. has your sisters baby reached your home yet? c. has your sisters baby been sent to you yet? d. has your sister given birth to that baby yet? 2. which of the following is not true according to this passage? a. francis is boys name. b. frances is a girls name. c. francis and frances have the same pronunciation. d. there is no difference between francis and frances. 3. according to the passage, we can infer that a nephew is _. a. a baby boy b. a baby girl c. the son of ones brothers or sistersd. the daughter of ones brothers or sisters. 4. reading the passage, we can know _. a. americans have only first namesb. americans have only family namesc. americans have both first names and family namesd. americans have either first names or family names【答案与解析】本文是一篇对话，是 john 和 kate 关于人的名字的谈论。1. d。细节判断题。根据原文 john 说的话 yes, ive been a uncle since yesterday noon可知 kate 是问 john 他的姐姐生了小孩没有。所以正确答案为 d。2. d。细节题。根据原文可知 john 的姐姐生了个男孩，取名 francis，francis 是男孩名，而 frances 是女孩名。francis 和 frances 的读音是相同的。由此可判断出此题正确答案为 d。3. c。推断题。根据原文可知 john 的姐姐生了个男孩，取名 francis。然后再根据kate 问 john 的话可推知 nephew 是指一个人的 sister 或 brother 的儿子。所以答案为 c。4. c。细节题。根据最后两句 kate 和 john 的话 their family names? no, their first names可知此题答案为 c。*结束 passage *it was raining. i went into a caf and asked for a coffee. 21 i was waiting for my drink, i realized that there were other people in the place, but i sensed 22 . i saw their bodies, but i couldnt feel their souls 23 their souls belonged to the 24 .i stood up and walked between the tables. when i came to the biggest computer, i saw a thin, small man 25 in front of it. im steve, he finally answered after i asked him a couple of times what his name was. i cant talk with you. im 26 , he said. he was chatting online with somebody-probably someone he didnt know-and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game-a war game. i was surprised. he was chatting online and, 27 , he was playing a computer gamea war game. i was 28 .why didnt steve want to talk with me? i tried 29 to speak to that computer geek (怪人), 30 not a word came out of his mouth. i touched his shoulder, but no reaction（反应）. i was 31 . i put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, 32 !i took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the caf were looking at me. i _33 , and saw nobody showed any interest. 34 , i realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. they were more 35 having a relationship with the _36 , particularly steve. i wouldnt want to 37 the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines 38 with people.i was worri
