who live there?many cities are recognised across the world by their unofficial titles. new york is the big apple, london is the big smoke, and los angeles is famously called la la land (used to mean that the people who live there are slightly crazy)now britains national mapping agency, ordnance survey, and the british linguistics charity (语言学慈善机构), the english project, are launching a project to uncover the nicknames people use for local places.the project, which got started last week to coincide with english language day, is called location lingo. it aims to identify the names people use every day, whether its a term of endearment (昵称) or a hate name.the university of winchesters professor bill lucas is a supporter of the english project. he explains that unofficial place names often show what people think about a place. “the name that people create for a place forms an emotional connection，” he says. “so basingstoke becomes amazingstoke, swindon is known as swindump and padstow, hometown of chef rick stein, is nicknamed padstein.”basingstoke is a town in central england. the local nickname. amazingstoke, shows the affection that locals seem to have for the area.swindon, on the other hand, is sometimes called swindump, showing that some people think its a dump (垃圾场). stanford le hope in essex is called stanford no hope by locals. and padstow in cornwall is so closely associated with the local celebrity rick stein that its become known as padstein.since launching the online database last week, the creators have already received 3,000 alternative titles for places and famous buildings.glen hart, ordnance surveys head of research, says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services, for example. “by having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place, and maybe even save lives，” he says.1according to bill lucas, unofficial place names_.aare mostly positivebmake many people

people from different cultures work, live and study together. some worry that having a difficult name could limit them. sheetal dube and her husband came to the united states from india seven years ago. she said, “my name, sheetal, is a very common indian name and in india people would just know how to pronounce it. but i realize american people find it hard to pronounce.”3ms dube now owns a new company called audioname. she came up with the idea after doing a presentation with someone she worked with. she said, “my colleague was mary and it was very easy for everyone in the room to say marys findings showed this. but its very difficult to say sheetals findings showed this. so that s where this idea really stuck in my head. what if i just have an audio (音频的) name and i put it in my email and they have a chance to hear it before they meet me？”4the service is free. ms dube hopes her idea will help make introductions a little easier. “i created a web application where people can go and _in their own voice. after the recording, there is a little audio file which sits in a web address which they can actually go and put in their email signature on their website. so when they interact with other people, they can have this audio pronunciation next to their name.”5marketing specialist larry chiagouris advises people with really difficult names to consider using a nickname in their job search. sheetal dube says she heard of advice like that while researching her idea. she thinks a service like audioname offers a better choice.1what does the new online service offer to people？(no

comment“无可奉告”；no doubt“毫无疑问”；no problem“没有问题”；no wonder“不足为奇”。2选a考查struggle的用法及不定式的被动语态。句意：孩子们在餐桌上说话声音那么大，以至于我必须努力喊才能被听到。struggle to do sth. “努力做某事”，根据句意应当用不定式的被动形式。3选b考查形容词词义。句意：甚至在巴黎都出现了令人担忧的经济危机迹象。v.ing类形容词一般修饰或描述物；v.ed类形容词一般修饰或描述人，故排除a、d两项。disturbing“引起烦恼的；令人不安的”，符合句意。encouraging“令人鼓舞的”。4选c句意：我很抱歉地告诉你，你的问题超出了我的能力范围。恐怕你得向其他人求助。regret to do“很抱歉要做”；beyond ones power“超出某人的能力范围”；within ones power“在某人能力范围内”。5选cwould rather do sth.than do sth.“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”。6选c句意：“你去过长城吗？”“没印象。如果去过的话，应该是在我童年早期。”if ever“如果(曾经)有的话”，符合句意。if only“要是(就好了)”；if

with意为“用装备”，故a项正确。9选banyway“无论如何”表示让步；however和though表示转折；therefore“因此”，表示因果。根据题意选b。10选cavoid后跟动词ing形式作宾语；又因为主语one与surround之间为被动关系，故用动词ing形式的被动形式。11选d句意：年轻人压力很大。因此，父母们不应对他们期望太多，因为这只会引起压力的逐渐增大。pick up“拾起；接收”；turn up“出现；露面”；break up“粉碎；解散”；build up“逐渐增强；建立；开发”。12选a考查动词词义辨析。expand不仅指尺寸的增加，还可指范围和体积的扩大。stretch一般指由曲变直、由短变长的伸展；extend指空间范围的扩大或长宽的向外延伸，也可指时间的延长；spread一般指向四面八方扩大或传播。13选a句意：他们正在努力工作保护高粱和花生免遭害虫和化学物质的破坏。keep . free from
