your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. 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 members of the family is usedsome 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 thingsclara 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 namesa family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near a brook；someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved roadthe greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forestother 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 pansthe 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 who 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 addeds orsonthe johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robertirish and scottish people added mac or mc or operhaps 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 metals c. made kitchen tools or containers d. built houses and furniture58. suppose an 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 carter c. george longstreet d. donald greenwood59. the underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _. a. later generations b. friends and relatives c. colleagues and partners d. later sponsorsbtragedy at the circusin yesterdays circus（马戏团）show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. as the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.however, the officials cant simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers.it is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.circus safe for animalsour circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. while we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “tragedy at the circus.”first, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. as to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals canand shouldlive together nicely. to us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. to overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.this circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.60.what is the main purpose of the first passage?a. to show pity for the performing animals. b. to express worries about animal trainers safety.c. to deal with the difficult situations of the circus. d. to call for action to protect circus animals.61.what will the circus most probably do?a. take no notice of the tragedy. b. continue its performances.c. use fewer wild animals. d. limit its profit.62.what does the circus think of its performing animals?a. they are as clever as human beings.b. they struggle continuously with human beings for existence.c. they are helpful in saving their species.d. they have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.63.what is the most probable relationship between the two passages?a.a public request and a newspaper report. b. a newspaper article and a reply to it.c. two parts of a newspaper article. d. two newspaper reports.csometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be thereto serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. you never know who these people may be but, when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in some profound way.and sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair but, upon reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles（障碍） you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. everything happens for a reason. nothing happens by means of good luck. illness , injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. the people you meet affect your life. the success and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. in fact, they are probably the most important ones. if someone hurts you, betray(背叛) you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. if someone loves you, love them back, unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.make every day count. appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, you are never be able to experience it again. talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.hold your head up because you have every right to. tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. 64. according to the passage, you are advised to_.a. set a higher life goal b. open your heart to othersc. count how many days you live d. treat yourself as a great person65. the first paragraph tells us that_.a. you will never know who will come into your lifeb. your life is something influenced deeply by someonec. you need help to judge who you are in lifed. you know someone the moment you meet him66. it can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that_.a. everything is a test for you b. there is no good luck in lifec. nothing happens by chance d. there is a limit to your love67. the writer develops the passage by_.a. analyzing data b. reasoning c. giving examples d. telling a storyda cactus（仙人掌） stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowherei do nothing but stand here all day, it sighedwhat
