But think about what the words mean when they are 2together. “Homesick” means “Thinking of home, unhappy away from home.” In other words, it means “sick for home”.Now think for a minute 3 the word SEASICK. If you change the word “home” in the definition (定义) to the word “sea”, would the definition 4“seasick” ? Does seasick mean “thinking of sea, unhappy away from sea”? It means something quite 5 . Seasick means “made sick by the only place where you are on the sea.” It means “sick because of the sea.” When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the 6place you want to be is at sea.Have you ever 7a person being heartsick? Heartsick does not mean that something is wrong with a persons heart. People are heartsick when they are 8down deep inside as if (好像) their hearts are broken.And so, when you are carsick, you are “made sick by the movement of a car on the road.” You are sick because of the car, not sick for it.You can see, then, that 9compound words are what they seem at first glance (一瞥). Think about the compound words, such as handshake and 10. Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know something like this in your English study.（1）A . what B . that C . which D . who （2）A . read B . used C . thought D . understood （3）A . for B . from C . about D . like （4）A . fit B . read C . get D . have （5）A . different B . same C . right D . wrong （6）A . first B . only C . safe D . last （7）A . heard of B . heard from C . thought over D . thought about （8）A . hit B . hurt C . loved D . moved （9）A . not others B . not every C . not all D . not other （10）A . careful B . southern C . illness D . handwriting 五、 阅读理解（本题有15小题，每小题2分，共计30分） (共4题；共30分)10. （6分） (2017盐城模拟) 阅读理解Do you look like your name? Scientists say theres a good chance you do.This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of peoples faces and guess each persons name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.Whats more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence peoples facial appearances,” Zwebner said.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”（1） One of the purposes of the experiments is to _. A . give the students a chance to know each otherB . explain what influences our facial appearancesC . find out different characteristics carried by different namesD . see if people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face（2） People could match the faces to the names more easily . A . when they did a random guessB . when the faces are from other countriesC . when the faces are from their own countryD . when they have more knowledge themselves（3） The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “ ”. A . supportedB . changedC . comparedD . cancelled（4） Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show . A . the results of changing namesB . names have something to do with appearancesC . the importance of cultural stereotypes carried by namesD . the importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks（5） According to Zwebner, we know that . A . facial appearances may influence namesB . we shouldnt think of others just according to their namesC . a name may influence many things and should be well chosenD . we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves11. （8分） (2016崇仁模拟) 阅读理解Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister”seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to bea parents job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.Not all of Lins classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago.
