32、解】主旨大意题。文章属于人物传记类文章，主要围绕斯坦李的生前事迹进行展开。且文章第一段第一句已经点明“legendary comic book writer stan lee has died at the age of 95”斯坦李的去世是写这篇文章的初衷，故综合选项c选项最切合题意。csocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of

33、reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after

34、 the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the west and the east.another way of nam

37、lay(马来语). now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”? the reason is simple. during the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describ

38、e their shapes, like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.8. what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. change suddenly.b. change significantly.c. disa

41、；以其他地点的名字命名；以活动的名称命名；以形状命名等。【8题详解】词义猜测题。从划线词“die hard”后句“and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.”可知，尽管其意义已消失很长时间，但人们仍然以非官方的名字来称呼该地方，所以“die hard”的词义应为：消失得很慢。故选d项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，新加坡的许多道路和地方都被命名，以便后代记住这些先驱者。因此我们有stamford road 和raffles place广场这

42、样的名字。所以raffles place应是指先驱者的名字。故选a项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example,”可知，有些地方是以过去在这些地方进行的活动命名的。bras basah路就是一个有趣的例子。所以bras basah路是以活动命名的。故选c项。【11题详解】推理判断题。从第一段“frequently it happens that a p

43、lace has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government.”可知，一个地方有两个名字的事情经常发生，一个是由人们命名，一个是政府命名的，所以许多地方不只有一个名字，故选b项。【点睛】dwhen we go out traveling,we need either a map or gps to point us in the right direction.but bumblebees（大黄蜂）have neither of these things,yet they still know th
