owners feel in their bags. many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for travelling businessmen it is as likely to be found in school bags. the mobile phone seems to have become something essential for todays teens in britain, according to a survey published last week, by nop, a leading market research company in britain. research found that 66 percent of

romeo and juliet，there is not too much.“that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. but shakespeare may have been wrong. in most cultures，names matter a great deal.americans choose names for their children with care. parents usually think about the impression a name gives，not its meaning. most americans would consider a “jennifer” more attractive than a“bertha，for example. the last name，or，surname，must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. a name like lester chester hester would sound poetic，but odd. parents would avoid names that remind them of people they dont like. on the other hand，people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. the popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. names that were once common，like fanny or elmer，sound old-fashioned today. but other nameslike john and david，mary and sarahhave stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.people in ameica dont always call their friends and relatives by their given names. instead，they often use nicknames. sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. for instance，a girl named elizabeth may be called lisa，beth or betsy. as children grow up，they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names，like b. j, or r. c. and of course，people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. often they have a “sweet” flavor，like honey or sugar. whats in a name? a world of significance. so if youre choosing an english name for yourself，take care to choose a good one. a madeup name could sound strange to native english speakers. and a translation of your chinese name may not make an appropriate name，either. but a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. as an american politician once said，“in real life，unlike in shakespeare，the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”48what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?a. people change names in order to be popular with the new generanon.b. names will change by themselves in order to be popular.c. some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.d. no names can stand the test of time.49when choosing names，you should stick to the following principles except thata. the impression a

needed to ferry people along skyways. that is the conclusion of engineers from the us space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters traveling by “skycar”.these could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by boeing research and development. however, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market. efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful. such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them. “when you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle thats hard to use,” said mark moore, head of the personal air vehicle(pav) division of the vehicle systems program at nasas langley research center in hampton, us. but boeing is also considering how to police the airways-and prevent total pandemonium(吵杂狂乱的喧闹)-if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.“the neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what the vehicle itself would look like,” said dick paul, a vice president with phantom works, boeings research and development arm. “but were trying to think through all the consequences of what it would take to deploy(散开) a fleet of these.”past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic. nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel. small planes are generally costly, loud, and require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people. but within five years, nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000(55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. the new technology would automate many of the pilots functions. this small aircraft transportation system(sats) would divert pressure away from the “hub-and-spoke(中心辐射型)” model of air travel. hub-and-spoke refers to the typically us model of passengers being processed through large “hub” airports and then on to secondary flights to “spoke” airports near their final destinations.49. the best title for this text would be .a. developing skycarsb. the traffic jams in the skyc. how to guide flying cars in the skyd. what flying cars will look like50. the underlined word “envision” in paragraph 1 most probably means “ ”.a. seeb. expectc. thinkd. announce51. when engineers develop the skycars, they have to deal with the following difficulties except .a. how to fly out of regional airports b. how to prevent the disorder of the airwaysc. how to reduce expenses and the vehicles weightd. how to fly the skycars to enter skies52. now nasa researchers aim is to .a. make big flying carsb. work out the planhow to transform small plane travelc. develop a new kind of small plane different from the traditional oned. build a new kind of small plane with road-driving abilities参考答案aadc *结束 the teaching hospital is one associated with a medical school. teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. these hospitals always have interns(实习医师) and residents(住院医师) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. they have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.on the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. with the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. the sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. however, some excesses(超额) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.53. one of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that . a. its first-class personnel are a guarantee of excellent medical care b. its first-class medical facilities and skills make medical breakthroughs possible c. the interns, residents and medical students all offer satisfactory services d. its laboratory staff provide high-class professional aids for the doctors54. the passage implies that .a. private hospitals usually give personalized care of high qualityb. private hospitals have more experienced laboratory staffc. teaching hospitals use patients as subjects for their experimentsd. teaching hospitals usually give patients improper treatment55. treatments of some difficult and complicated cases in teaching hospital are decided . a. by specialists in charge of the case b. by doctors and students together c. on some special and important occasions d. through collective efforts and serious review56. the problem that still bothers teaching hospitals frequently is . a. the inadequate patient care caused by irresponsible nurses. b. the wrong decisions made by inexperienced doctors c. improper dependence on technological medicine d. the inconvenience caused by the presence of medical students参考答案bcdc*结束 完形填空（陕西卷）完形填空in a land far
