How do American people choose a name for their child? A new research suggests that the change in 21of a name over time increasingly influences naming22

in the United States. Parents today appear to 23names that have recently risen in popularity relative to those on the decline.

This trend is a relatively24phenomenon. They found that around the turn of the last century (1880 to 1905) names tended to fluctuate(波動(dòng)) in frequency from one year to the next. A name that25its relative frequency one year was more likely to decrease rather than further increase in frequency the following year.

26 ， decreases in frequency were more likely to be followed by increases than further decreases. However， more recently (1981 to 2006)， names moved in consistent ways: a change in popularity in one year was predictive of the27direction of change the following year.

“Parents in the United States are increasingly sensitive to the28in frequency of a name in recent time. Names that are gaining popularity are seen as more desirable than those that have fallen in popularity in the recent past，” the researchers29 . “As a result， names that are falling 30to fall while names on the rise reach new heights of popularity， in turn influencing a new generation of parents.”

21. A. content B. meaning

C. useD. popularity

22. A. habits B. decisions

C. abilities D. conditions

23. A. favor B. avoid

C. change D. call

24. A. old B. traditional

Ⅲ閱讀(共兩節(jié)。滿分40分)

第一節(jié)閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

Scientists at the MIT have discovered an energy source that you can see only through a microscope.

The researchers devised a process for generating electricity using nanotechnology. They plan to refine the process in hopes of creating a new environmentally friendly battery， among other products.

It works like this: Researchers used tiny wires， known as carbon nanotubes， to create a powerful wave of energy， according to Michael Strano， an MIT associate professor of chemical engineering.

After coating these tiny wires with a layer of fuel， Strano said his team generated a so-called thermo-power wave and stumbled across a reaction that may eventually be used to power electronics， computers and cell phones. “This could lead to batteries that are up to 10 times smaller and still have the same power output. In the portable energy and energy conservation area， we’re trying to find power sources that have a smaller profile but hold more energy，”

To build a power source， such as a battery， it’s necessary to move electrons in a material from one end of the battery to the other， creating an electrical current. This thermo-power wave MIT researchers discovered， using the class of molecules know as carbon nanotubes， does just that. Strano said “some of the advantages of this technology [are] you can generate a lot of power from a very， very small device.”

And that’s not all. Most batteries on the market now are made from highly toxic heavy metals， which are very bad for the environment——metals like lead， nickel and cadmium. Batteries made from this new thermo-power technology would be completely nontoxic， Strano said. “The materials we use to make these thermo-power waves are organic. They’re not grown naturally， but they’re made of carbon. In other words， you could essentially incinerate them， or they would break down over time， there’s no heavy metal residue，” Strano said.

There’s another benefit in using a so-called thermo-power battery: energy savings. “Most people don’t realize a battery sitting unused in your laptop is leaking its power away，” Strano said. \"If you take all the laptop batteries that are produced in one year， in the off state， they’re leaking an amount of power during that year that we could store in a small nuclear reactor ... and that’s power that’s essentially lost and dissipated just from laptop batteries.

41. What would be the best title of this article?

A. Strano and His discovery.

B. Smaller size， Safer Energy.

C. New Batteries Found.

D. No More Toxic Metals.

42. What cannot be inferred from the article?

A. Thermo-power wave can create electrical currents.

B. Thermo-power is already applied to daily use.

C. With thermo-power technology， the same size battery produces more power.

D. The materials of making thermo-power is environmentally friendly.

43. How many advantages of thermo-power has the article mentioned?

A. one B. two C. three D. four

44. What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?

A. rare B. expensive

C. poisonous D. natural

45. In the last paragraph， Strano seems to suggest the following except that_______.

A. power that leaks from batteries is of huge amount presently

B. Thermo-power battery can successfully prevent power leakage.

C. It is better not to have your battery sitting unused in your laptop.

D. Present batteries lose their power whether being used or not.

B

“I’m Reid. I do the trees.” he said.

“I’ll be back in a few days. I can’t spray the trees till the bees are through and the petals start to fall.”

When Mr. Reid returned， I began to learn what it meant to “do” the trees. He sprayed twice more as summer progressed， and as the apples matured， he thinned them. Sometimes he “did” the enormous maples(槭樹)， which looked like park specimens.

Mr. Reid “did” our trees for the next 12 year. But he did far more. My children became his devoted helpers， and he taught them many things about trees and birds and insects， but also about work and respect， dignity and trust. When he pruned， he showed them how to cut large branches into fireplace logs and how to bind smaller branches into fagots(柴把). Bits of his wisdom became their wisdom-and mine.

“Mr. Reid says a tree gives back something for everything you do for it.” my younger son remarked one evening as we sat before a blazing fire. “He says we must never waste anything a tree gives us.” I could hear him saying it. Something in the way he said “tree”， the way he ran his hand along a branch was close to respect.

“You do trees the same way you raise youngsters， ”he said one day when I commented on the care with which he chiseled(鑿)away an awkward knot so the bark could grow across the wound. “You can’t protect them from the elements， but you can understand what they’re up against and guide them so they’ll bend and not break.” He stood back to survey the tree， and then carefully removed selected branches. “You find out where the strength is， what they have a bent for. Then you take away whatever interferes with that bent so it can develop naturally.”

Find out what they have a bent for and remove what ever interferes. I wish he could know how many times that thought guided me as my children grew through their teenage years. Mr. Reid “did” infinitely more than just our trees.

46. What do Reid’s words “I’ll be back in a few days. I can’t spray the trees till the bees are through and the petals start to fall” most probably suggest about him?

A. He thinks the tree doesn’t need spraying for the moment.

B. He won’t have time till several days later.

C. He shows concern for the safety of the bees.

D. He thinks the petals are still healthy and fine.

47. What does the underlined word “pruned” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. worked B. cut off the branches

C. sprayed the treesD. did the trees

48. What does the author most probably mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. Understand trees better and help them grow better.

B. Find out our children’s strengths and weaknesses.

C. Find out what our children bend for and remove them.

D. Identify our children’s strengths and help them develop.

49. Which of the following best describes Mr. Reid according to the article?

A. hardworking， respectful， wise

B. caring， respectful， full of wisdom

C. young at heart， hardworking， thrifty

D. knowledgeable， careful， protective

50. Which of the following best sums up the main idea of this article?

A. Mr. Reid did our trees and did far more than that.

B. Mr. Reid is a good friend of my kids.

C. We need to understand trees and help them develop naturally.

D. Trees give back something for everything you do for them.

C

A 17-year-old boy， caught sending text messages in class， was recently sent to the vice principal’s office at Millwood High School in Halifax， Nova Scotia.

The vice principal， Steve Gallagher， told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher， not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded， and that’s when Mr. Gallagher noticed the student’s fingers moving on his lap.

He was texting while being reprimanded (訓(xùn)示) for texting.

“It was a subconscious act，”says Mr. Gallagher， who took the phone away.“Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night. It’s compulsive.”

Because so many people in their teens and early 20s are in this constant whir of socializing—accessible to each other every minute of the day via cellphone， instant messaging and social-networking Web sites—there are a host of new questions that need to be addressed in schools， in the workplace and at home. Chief among them: How much work can‘hyper-socializing’ students or employees really accomplish if they are holding multiple conversations with friends via text-messaging， or are constantly checking Facebook?

Some argue they can accomplish a great deal: This generation has a gift for multitasking， and because they’ve woven technology into their lives， their ability to remain connected to each other will serve them and their employers well. Others think that these hyper-socializers are serial time-wasters， that the bonds between them are shallow， and that their face-to-face interpersonal skills are poor.

It’s hard to quantify whether the abbreviated interchanges of text messaging are beneficial in the workplace， but this much is known: Young workers spend more time than older workers socializing via their devices or entertaining themselves online. In a 2008 survey for Salary.com， 53% of those under age 24 said this was their primary ‘time wasting’ activity while at work， compared to just 34% for those between ages 41 and 65.

Online social networking while at work hampers business productivity， according to a new study by Nucleus Research. Almost two-thirds of those with Facebook accounts access them at their workplaces， the study found， which translates to a 1.5% loss of total employee productivity across an organization.

51. Why did the writer mention the story of a 17 year old boy?

A. To show Mr. Gallagher is very tolerant of the boy’s behavior.

B. To introduce the topic of the discussion.

C. To give a brief account of what happened to the boy.

D. To tell us texting messages shouldn’t be done at school.

52. What does “He was texting while being reprimanded for texting” suggest?

A. He wouldn’t listen to his principal’s advice.

B. He had no respect for his principal.

C. He had a habitual act of texting.

D. He was bored by the reprimand.

53. What can be inferred from the article?

A. People all agree that hyper-socializing students accomplish less.

B. Many young workers spend much time minding private business at work.

C. Teens’ multitasking ability will benefit both themselves and employers alike.

D. Teens are to blame for their hyper-socializing act.

54. The underlined word “hampers” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by_____.

A. holds backB. encourages

C. contributes to D. influences

55. What would be the best title for the article?

A. Texting messages: no good for teens.

B. Hyper-socializing: a new problem to address.

C. Work or Play: young workers’ problem.

D. A school boy’s problematic behavior.

第二節(jié)信息匹配(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡上將對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)字母涂黑。

首先請(qǐng)閱讀下列人物信息:

56. Recently the heavy work of his job really drains out Jack. He has been ill in bed since last week. He is a software programmer and working overtime is a daily occurrence. To him， time is money and he doesn’t really want to get up from his chair to get himself something to drink.

57. Brian is always in a hurry. He eats his breakfast on his way to work because he would rather stay in bed for 15 more minutes in the morning than spend the time on a decent breakfast. After all， he always says he has so much to do that he couldn’t afford to go to bed earlier than 1 o’clock am.

58. Everyday， Alice rushes to work with a huge bag， where all sorts of things to see her through the day could be found: creams， moisturizers， gels， lipsticks， foundations， tissue， purse， phonebooks， etc. and even sometimes a camera. Recently， she complained of constant pain in her right shoulder， and she considers going to her doctor’s for a check.

59. Sue is gaining weight gradually. She thinks that’s because she has stopped going to the gym ever since she moved into a new place where the gym is quite a distance from her home. She badly wants a car so that she can drive there to do some exercise.

60. Housewife Bessie is considering to buy a car. For many years， she has been doing a lot of walking: doing errands on foot， taking her children to the nearby kindergarten on foot， going to the church on foot， etc. She would like to have a change now.

請(qǐng)根據(jù)人物信息，從以下選項(xiàng)當(dāng)中選擇最適合他們的建議:

A. Before you call the chiropractor or a physical therapist， try spending a few days without your wallet or purse. Men’s wallets can be so thick， they press on nerves when sat on for any length of time. Likewise， women’s shoulder bags can weigh ten pounds or more and can twist the body in all sorts of weird ways. Clean out your wallet or purse， and see if the pain doesn’t ease.

B. Being just 2 percent underhydrated can make you act and feel older. For a sharp mind， smooth skin， better health， and fluid movement， you need water. Healthy people， it turns out， get all the water they need from what they eat and drink. If you’ve worked up a sweat exercising， are in a hot climate， or are taking medications， you may need to drink more than usual.

C. It may sound improbable， but the secret to finding more time in your day is spending more time in bed at night. Being sleep-deprived makes you do everything more slowly and with less focus. Most people don’t realize what it’s like to be fully awake and how much they can accomplish when they are. To determine if this is the solution to your time crunch， add one hour to your nightly rest for a week.

D. Stop thinking of it as exercise. Better to think of being more active. If you’re constantly feeling as if you don’t have time to get to the gym， make the world your gym. Do errands on foot， trade the tractor for a push mower， and open the garage door by hand rather than remote. Active is the new fit.

E. Stop going from one fad eating plan to another. Instead， ask yourself one question before embarking on any diet——that is ‘Can I eat this way for the rest of my life?' If the answer is no， it’s not worth the effort， because you'll eventually come off it. Only diets that are sustainable are ultimately successful.

F. One of the hottest tech gadgets is GPS units for your car. It can simplify your life enormously or， if you’re not careful， ruin it. To protect yours: Never program your home address into your GPS. If your car is stolen， all the thief has to do is hit that Go Home button to be guided to your place and， since he knows you're not there， press the garage-door opener for access. Instead， program a local store’s address.

Why do we read prose fiction?

Prose fiction， whether in the form of the novel or the short story， is unarguably the most popular and widely consumed literary genre. Take a few moments to think about why we read fiction? What do we hope to gain from reading stories about imagined events that happen to imaginary people?

For Carrie Tiffany， a one-time park ranger in outback Australia， reading was a way of travelling to distant places， where she didn't have to think about her lonely existence living in the harsh desert landscape of Central Australia:

“I read so I didn’t have to think about where I was， or why I was there， or what I would do next. I read to meet people， and to avoid meeting people.”

In Elliot Perlman’s Seven Types of Ambiguity， one of the characters， psychiatrist Alex Klima， says: “Not all novels are purely escapist， to be read for entertainment. Fiction， at least some fiction，can also confront us with truths we might otherwise never have encountered. It can provide us with insights we would never have gained elsewhere.”

Robert DiYanni， a literature professor， says about why we read:

We read stories for pleasure; they entertain us. And we read them for profit; they enlighten us. Stories draw us into their imaginative worlds and engage us with the power of their invention...they enlarge our understanding of ourselves and deepen our appreciation of life.

答案與解析

Ⅱ語言知識(shí)及應(yīng)用網(wǎng)

第一節(jié)完形填空

本文闡述了一個(gè)關(guān)于美國父母給孩子取名的趨勢(shì)變化問題。根據(jù)一項(xiàng)研究表明，他們的名字選擇是與該名字的流行程度相關(guān)的，而名字的流行程度在兩個(gè)時(shí)期呈現(xiàn)出兩種不同的趨勢(shì)走向。

21. D。從下一句話以及全篇的主旨看，名字的流行程度是影響美國父母給孩子取名的一個(gè)因素。

22. B。文章第一句話的問題是美國父母如何給孩子選取名字，這其實(shí)就是一個(gè)決定用什么名字的過程。

23. A。下文提到，“Names that are gaining popularity are seen as more desirable than those that have fallen in popularity in the recent past”。此句句意為:今天的父母好像喜歡最近流行起來的名字，而不是那些不流行的。

24. C。此句是本段的中心句，在上段與本段中間起到承上啟下的作用。下文提到名字的流行程度曾經(jīng)在20世紀(jì)初呈現(xiàn)了一年流行下一年不流行的情況;而到了最近，從20世紀(jì)末到21世紀(jì)初，名字的流行程度呈現(xiàn)出流行的更流行，不流行的變得更加少用。因此，上段所指趨勢(shì)是新的趨勢(shì)。

25. A。由本句的decrease rather than further increase可以進(jìn)行推斷。

26. D。本句關(guān)于名字的流行程度與上句呈現(xiàn)出同樣的走向趨勢(shì)，因此選similarly。

27. C。 由however的轉(zhuǎn)折可以看出，最近的名字流行程度與以前產(chǎn)生了不同的趨勢(shì)走向。而且，names moved in consistent ways已經(jīng)表明名字的流行程度比較一致，即從該名字一年的流行程度可以預(yù)計(jì)出以后相同的流行走向。

28. B。名字流行程度的上升與下降都是使用頻率的變化。

29. C。note意為“特別提到，指出”。

30. A。由“while names on the rise reach new heights of popularity”可以看出這種對(duì)比情況。

第二節(jié) 語法填空

本文中，由于誤會(huì)，小女孩兩次被她父親責(zé)罵。小女孩出事后，她的父親保存了她送給他的禮物，作為心靈的慰藉。

31. that。引導(dǎo)一個(gè)同位語從句，作story的同位語。

32. when。引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句，意為“當(dāng)這孩子想裝飾一個(gè)盒子放在圣誕樹下時(shí)，他極為惱怒并對(duì)她大聲斥責(zé)”

33. Nevertheless。本句描述的情況與上文形成讓步關(guān)系。nevertheless意為“盡管如此”。

34. earlier。earlier overreaction為“之前的過度反應(yīng)”，指上文的“he became extremely angry and yelled at her”。

35. something。盒子里應(yīng)當(dāng)有“某種東西”，而“不應(yīng)該命空空的盒子做禮物送給別人”。

36. him。小女孩應(yīng)該是抬起頭來看著她爸爸哭了。

37. and。put his arms around his little girl與begged for her forgiveness是并列的承接關(guān)系。

38. forgiveness。作begged for的賓語，因此用forgive的名詞形式。

39. an。在單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前表示“一次”。

40. discouraged。“he was discouraged”是一個(gè)系表結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“他覺得氣餒受挫折的時(shí)候”。

Ⅲ閱讀

第一節(jié)閱讀理解

(A)本文主要介紹了一個(gè)MIT的最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，即一種有別于傳統(tǒng)能源的能源技術(shù)。

41. B。主旨題。文章從體積、制造材料等方面介紹了一種新的能源技術(shù)。

42. B。推斷題。從第二段及第四段中“They plan to refine the process in hopes of creating a new environmentally friendly battery， among other products.以及This could lead to batteries that are up to 10 times smaller and still have the same power output. In the portable energy and energy conservation area， we’re trying to find power sources that have a smaller profile but hold more energy”可以看出此技術(shù)尚未成熟。

43. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。分別為“體積小、制造材料環(huán)保、不泄露電力”等優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

44. C。猜義題。根據(jù)常識(shí)以及下文的“which is bad for the environment”可以推斷。

45. C。推斷題。他只提到手提電腦中電池就算未使用也在泄露電力。

(B)本文主要介紹了一個(gè)叫Mr. Reid的樹木打理工以及他給我?guī)淼挠绊懞蛦⑹尽?/p>

46. C。推斷題。從全篇文章對(duì)于Mr. Reid的描述基調(diào)，下文提到的“he taught them...about work and respect， dignity and trust”，以及“...can’t spray till the bees are through(在蜜蜂沒有結(jié)束采蜜之前我不能噴農(nóng)藥)”來看，他是一個(gè)很關(guān)愛尊重生命的人。

47. B。猜義題。此句的后半部分有提示。

48. D。推斷題。作者的這句話是引用了上文Mr. Reid的話語，在此進(jìn)行一個(gè)樹木成長與孩子成長之間的類比。“Find out what they have a bent for and remove what ever interferes.”意為“找出他們的發(fā)展傾向，并移除任何阻礙發(fā)展的障礙”。

49. B。推斷題。從Mr. Reid對(duì)蜜蜂、對(duì)孩子、對(duì)樹的態(tài)度以及他關(guān)于樹木與孩子成長的評(píng)論可以看出他具有愛心，充滿對(duì)事物的尊重，以及富有智慧。

50. A。主旨題。文章由Mr. Reid的工作談起，到最后以“Mr. Reid”did“infinitely more than just our trees.”結(jié)尾，闡述的是Mr. Reid給我?guī)淼挠绊懞蛦⑹尽?/p>

(C)本文主要討論了現(xiàn)今年輕人的普遍問題——從早到晚，不論休閑還是工作學(xué)習(xí)都離不開電話、短信以及其他即時(shí)信息技術(shù)網(wǎng)站的使用——以及該現(xiàn)象的影響。

51. B。推斷題。作者通過一個(gè)典型事例來引入即將討論的問題。

52. C。推斷題。從下文的“it was a subconscious act”以及本文所討論的問題來看，他是無意識(shí)地習(xí)慣性地做此動(dòng)作。

53. B。推斷題。由文章最后兩段話可以推斷出。

54. A。詞義題。最后一段用調(diào)查研究結(jié)果來說明“online social networking while at work”會(huì)導(dǎo)致生產(chǎn)力的下降，即妨礙工作。

55. B。主旨題。本文主要討論了現(xiàn)今年輕人的普遍問題——從早到晚，不論休閑還是工作學(xué)習(xí)都離不開電話、短信以及其他即時(shí)信息技術(shù)網(wǎng)站的使用—以及該現(xiàn)象的影響。

第二節(jié)信息匹配

人員——適合各人的建議

Ⅳ寫作

第一節(jié) 基礎(chǔ)寫作

Double Dragon Alliance and Yong He Tang Cultural Centre organized an introduction to traditional Chinese Tea Culture at the Jinli Tea Store on Chang Le Road. The event， which was held on 1st August， was attended by a mixed audience of western and Chinese tea lovers at the Tea Store.

Mr. Cai Jun， who is recognized as a renowned tea-artist， gave a fascinating， professional and in-depth talk on many aspects of Chinese Tea Culture， as well as introducing the different preparation methods and brewing techniques of various types of Chinese tea. At the end of the lecture， the audiences were encouraged to make tea themselves， during which they learnt about proper preparations of teas. They also got to taste the finest Long Jing green tea after that.

第二節(jié) 讀寫任務(wù)

Prose fiction is the type of literature most widely read. Different people read it for different purposes. There is an element of escapism， entertainment and education in our desire to read novels.

My own answer to the question “why do we read prose fiction” really touches on the above opinions. Take one of my favorite novel “Pride and Prejudice” for example. This tale of love and values unfolds in the late 18th century England. The five Bennet sisters have been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion， the Bennets are a buzz. In a serial turns of events， there is a happy ending for nearly everyone.

Basically， this is a story of courtship and marriage， but through the humorous， sometimes satirical tone of Jane Austen， I get to know about how women lived their lives and what the upper and middle class people centered around in the late18th century England. I smile at the wit of Mr. Bennet， laugh at the mindlessness of Mrs. Bennet. I am totally impressed by Lizzy’s eloquence when she debated with Mr. Darcy， and equally moved when Mr. Darcy finally admitted he had an affection for Lizzy. In a word， with this novel， I temporarily escape from the 21st century world， entertaining myself and at the same time broadening my horizon.
