In the eyes of the government Blaer, which means “light breeze”， was a male name and therefore refused. But Reykjavik District Court announced on Thursday that it could indeed be a female name. “Finally Ill have the name Blaer in my passport，” Blaer said.In the case of Iceland, its about meeting certain rules of grammar and gender，and saving the child from possible embarrassment. Sometimes, although not in every case, officials also insist that it must be possible to write the name easily. Similar concerns are present in Germany, where a Turkish couple was not allowed to call their baby Berlin. They named their baby Berlin after the city in which they met.Gender confusion prevented a German boy being Matti, because the sex of the baby wouldnt be obvious. And you wont find any Germans named Merkel, Schroeder or Kohl, either, because surnames are banned as first names.The name 4Real is not allowed in New Zealand, because names cannot start with a number.The UK and the US have much more free naming laws. American parents can name their child anything. In fact, parents see it as an important expression of their freedom of speech. “When I discovered the restrictions that other countries have, I was absolutely astonished，” said Sherrod. Strange names are nothing new, he says. The records in the 18th and 19th Centuries showed people named Kings Judgement, Noble Fall and Cholera Plague.本文是说明文。一些国家限制婴儿的姓名，其原因也是多样的。冰岛规定姓名要有明确的性别区分，要符合语法规则。新西兰规定姓名不能以数字开头。在英国和美国，关于姓名的使用规定要开放很多。美国的父母们可以为他们的孩子起任意的名字。21. Bjork broke the law because _.A. she gave her girl a boys nameB. she didnt like her girl BlaerC. her name was not allowed in IcelandD. her name was too difficult to write答案：A推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Bjork根本就不知道15年前她在为自己新出生的女儿取名为Blaer的时候触犯了法律。当地政府认为Blaer是一个男性名字，不允许女孩使用。故答案为A。22. The name Berlin is not allowed to use in _.A. Iceland B. GermanyC. New Zealand D. the US答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在德国也有同样的关于孩子姓名的关注，一对土耳其的夫妇不被允许为其孩子取名为Berlin。23. 4Real cant be used as a name in New Zealand because _.A. it can lead to possible embarrassmentB. it can lead to gender confusionC. it is banned as first namesD. names cannot start with a number答案：D细节理解题。根据第五段可知，在新西兰4Real是不能用作名字的，原因是当地规定姓名不能以数字开头。24. According to the passage Sherrod is probably from_.A. Germany B. New ZealandC. the UK D. the US答案：D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，美国的父母们可以为他们的孩子起任意的名字，“当我听说一些国家对姓名的使用还有限制时，感到非常震惊”。由此可推断出他是美国人。BAfter mom died, I began visiting dad every morning before I went to work. He was weak and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note, reading, “Drink your juice.” Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as dad had ever been able to do in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned mom, “Why doesnt dad love me？” Mom frowned, “Who said he doesnt love you？” “Well, he never tells me，” I complained. “He never tells me either，” she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. Thats how your father tells us he loves us.”I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap metal(废旧金属) business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my fathers body. If he didnt feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why dont you hire someone to do that for you？” mom asked dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. “Why dont you hire a cook？” dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, dad.” From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.本文是夹叙夹议文。父亲虽然不善于表达爱，但总是默默付出，以特有的无声的方式来表达对家人深沉的爱。25. The authors father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because_.A. that was the authors favoriteB. he was sure the author would be thirstyC. the author was always complainingD. that was a gesture of love答案：D推理判断题。由第一段作者母亲所说的话可推知，这是父亲对作者的默默关爱。26. The authors father didnt hire a helper because_.A. his job was too dangerousB. his job required high skillsC. he wanted to save moneyD. he was not good at working with others答案：C推理判断题。第二段最后两句提到，母亲向父亲提议雇佣一名帮手，而父亲反问母亲为什么不雇佣一名厨师。这说明他不想额外花钱。27. We may infer from the passage that _.A. the authors father lacked a sense of humorB. the author quite understood his father as time went onC. the authors father didnt love him very muchD. the authors father was too strict with him答案：B推理判断题。由最后一段可知，作者被父亲沉默的爱所感动，向父亲说出了对他的爱。这说明作者理解了这种深沉的父爱。28. Whats the passage about?A. The proper attitude towards life.B. The importance of education.C. Silent fatherly love.D. Ways to live happily.答案：C主旨大意题。根据文章描述的父亲的行为可知，他用辛勤的劳动来默默表达对家人的爱，因此C项为文章的主旨。C“You get an entirely different perspective at national parks，” says James Kaiser, author of the guidebook series Complete Guide to the National Parks.Yosemite National Park, CaliforniaHardy hikers can conquer Half Dome. The signature rock formation rises 4,000 feet above Yosemite Valley. The 17mile roundtrip trail passes two waterfalls and includes a 60degree up a granite slope aided by metal cables bolted into the rock that serve as handholds. “It takes more mental strength than physical strength，” Kaiser says. Although its possible to do as a day hike, most hikers camp and take two days. Hiking permits are required.(2093720200; nps. gov/yose)Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HawaiiEven if Kilauea, the worlds most active volcano, isnt erupting when you visit the Big Island, you can still see the frightening lava(熔岩)carved landscape. “The craters are like being on the moon，” Kaiser says. The 3mile roundtrip Puu Huluhulu hike crosses former lava flows and passes lava trees, formed when the 1,200degree lava enveloped the trees. (8089856000; nps. gov/havo)Acadia National Park, MaineFor a different perspective, tour this popular oceanfront park by sea kayak. Water routes pass pristine(洁净的) shoreline, lighthouses and wildlife. “There are locations sheltered by offshore islands, so the seas arent as rough. Level of ability is really no problem，” Kaiser says.(2072883338; nps. gov/acad)Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and Montana “One of the best ways to experience the nations first national park is on two wheels，” Kaiser says. Although traffics heavy during peak summer season, there are several areas reserved just for cyclists. Kaiser recommends coming in the early spring, though, when the park is closed to cars, giving cyclists free rein. “Its a great way to see wildlife，” he says. (3073447381; nps. gov/yell) Glacier National Park, Montana This park is laced with 700 miles of trails and graced with three dozen glaciers. Combine the two with the 7.8mile roundtrip hike to Grinnell Glacier from Josephine Lake, featuring some of “the most spectacular mountain scenery in North America” as Kaiser says. Be warned, though, the trail is often blocked by snow until late July. (4068887800；nps. gov/glac)本文是说明文。介绍了几个国家公园，其中包括约塞米蒂国家公园、夏威夷火山国家公园、阿卡迪亚国家公园、黄石国家公园和冰川国家公园。这些公园各有吸引人的特色和魅力。29. By saying “Hardy hikers can conquer Half Dome” in Paragraph 2, the author means that_.A. Half Dome is never conquered by travelersB. most people desire to conquer Half DomeC. climbing Half Dome needs hard workD. mental strength is more important答案：C句意理解题。根据第二段对约塞米蒂国家公园的介绍可知，该句所包含的意思是：攀登Half Dome需要艰苦的劳动。30. The underlined word “enveloped” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. discovered B. wateredC. supported D. covered答案：D词义猜测题。第三段第三句后半部分介绍了熔岩树的形成：它是高温熔岩覆盖大树后形成的。因此，envelope在此处是动词，意为“覆盖”。31. If we want to learn more information about the park near the sea, we can visit_.A. nps.gov/yose B. nps. gov/acadC. nps. gov/yell D. nps.gov/glac答案：B推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，阿卡迪亚国家公园靠近海边。要想了解更多的有关阿卡迪亚国家公园的信息可以访问nps. gov/acad。32. Which national park is better to be visited in summer?A. Glacier National Park.B. Yosemite National Park.C. Yellowstone National Park.D. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.答案：A细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，七月底之前，冰川国家公园的路被大雪封着，故最好在夏天参观冰川国家公园。DOne of the biggest treasures that we have in life is our individuality. Whether it is an original smile, an extraordinary sense of style, peculiar humor, special talent or the way we see the worldall these things make us who we are.I think it is a builtin survival instinct(本能) that makes us blend in(调和) and lose our individuality. Unfortunately, when we lose our individuality we also lose happiness in life.I didnt realize it until I moved to the US. For the first few months I was fascinated with the culture and with everything that this country had to offer. I wanted to embrace(接受) it all and to become as natural in this environment as possible. I tried to dress like an American girl, I was speaking only English in public places (my husband is fluent in Russian, so most of the time we speak English and Russian 50/50) and I tried my best to act like an American. After a few more months I understood that I was not happy with whom I became. I didnt want to blend in anymore and I was happy to show my individuality (cultural in my case) anywhere I went.If you feel that you try to blend in sometimes then try this simple exercise.First of all think of any situations when you were hiding your individuality in order to make people around you like you or treat you like an equal. What is your individual trait that makes you stick out like a sore thumb in these situations? I want to ask you to be YOU in each of these situations. After all, why do you have to adjust your behavior in order to seem “normal” in somebody elses eyes? All it takes is a big breath and a winning smile and you are ready to go.Being YOU is the best and only strategy to live a balanced and happy life.本文是议论文。生活中我们拥有的最大财富就是我们的个性。无论是一个发自内心的微笑，一种个性鲜明的风格，一份独具特色的幽默感，一颗深厚博大的同情心，一类特殊的才能或者是我们看世界的一种方式所有这些都为我们贴上了个性的标签。33. In the authors opinion, people blend in because _.A. they may need help from othersB. they dont have any individualityC. they hope to be accepted by othersD. blending in can make them cleverer答案：C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，是生存本能使得我们努力融入周围的世界。由此推知，人们这么做是希望能够让其他人接受自己。34. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that_.A. when we lose our individuality we also lose happinessB. blending in makes us lose our individualityC. the author and her husband went to the United StatesD. our individuality makes us who we are答案：A推理判断题。代词it指代的事物通常是上文刚刚提过的。本文在it的前面刚刚提过的就是：当我们失去个性的时候，我们也失去了快乐。35. When the author and her husband first arrived in the United States, _.A. they tried to keep their individualityB. they tried to blend inC. they hoped to receive Americans helpD. they showed off their fluent Russian答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段可知，作者和丈夫刚到美国时，他们努力去适应新环境。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child._36_ Sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope.The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility(场所) is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.Boarding SchoolsWhen a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. _37_In the dormitory almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators(管理人员)Treatment CentersWhen a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center can help him or her. _38_Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling(咨询) to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.Wilderness ProgramsDesigned to help improve the discipline and selfreliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve childrens behavior._39_ Boot Camps Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens.
