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.21. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? 21.A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters.C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations.22. 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 furniture23. 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 CarterC. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood24. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _.A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later sponsorsB“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy,” she thought.25.According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the close” means _.A.a family honorB.a family secretC.a family storyD.a family treasure26.What can we learn about some Australians ancestors form Paragraph 2?A.They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B.They were the earliest people living in Australia.C.They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D.They were not regarded as criminals in their days.27.Jessicas mother fell down into a faint because she was _.A.knockedB.frightenedC.injuredD.surprised28.Jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because _.A.they were crazyB.they were over excitedC.they realized their misunderstandingD.they both thought they had won the quarrelCWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say,” Well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “I know Im late, but its not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.29. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others30 .The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improve D. consider31. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help32. When problems occur, winners take them as .A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-developmentDScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best .Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates .With pets in the room ,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 fat people without pets were put on a diet program. On average，people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight .Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds，more than 15%of their body weight .Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but ,say researchers，got more exercise overall mostly with their dogs and found it worth doing.33We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _.Ahe has a pet companionBhe has less stress of workChe often dose mental arithmeticDhe is taken care of by his family34According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks? AThey have lower blood pressure. BThey become more patient. CThey are less nervous. DThey are in higher spirits.35The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that_. Apeople with dogs did more exercise Bdogs lost the same weight as people didCdogs liked exercise much more than people did Dpeople without dogs found the program unhelpful第二节共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项有两个多余。Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. 36 But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love?37 They established the first cocoa plantation and used the cocoa beans as the main ingredient in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. The Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties. 38 In fact, cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold. Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoas commercial possibilities. 39. In 1529, Cortez returned Spain and introduced chocolate-as a drink mixed with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon-to European society. It caught on, especially with the nobility.
