American Indians usually have pretty interesting names. These names are given to them through various methods and usually by an elder. American Indians feel very strongly about naming their child, and it is almost treated like a ritual . In some American Indian cultures, they even hold a ceremony when they are to name a child American Indian children are usually named by an elder who could be their grandmother, grandfather, mother or father. The name given by the elder es to them in many different forms such as characteristics of the person, dreams that the elder may have, or the name of a family member who has died. It is also true that some American Indians are named after some sort of animal while others are named after nature. Some tribes (部落) name their children after events that happen before their birth. Also in different tribes, two of the American Indians in the same tribe cant share the same name .Once the person with the name has died, then the name may be used again. It is said that American Indians believe that they should not address the baby by the name that they are given because if the name is too well-known, the child or baby may be called back to the spirit world; this is what causes many American Indians to be given nicknames(绰号). Many American Indians are more monly known by their nicknames instead of their names given at birth .21. What does the underlined word ritual in Paragraph l probably mean?A. exciting moment B. good opportunity C. special event D. great time22. Which is not the way Indians name their child?A. The name of a certain animal. B. One of the childs ancestors.C. An event before the childs birth. D. The dreams of the Indian child.23. Why are American Indians given nicknames?A. It is not convenient to use their formal namesB. Parents are afraid their child would die young.C. They dont want to be famous in the tribes.D. Nicknames are shorter and easier to address. BAre you petitive enough to make it in America? There is an undeniable excitement about ing to study in the US, but its not all excitement. Yes, it is America; it is the land of freedom; its the place where different cultures clash and live together in peace. However, you guys might agree with me: its not easy to leave home and the security of family, friends and people who love and care about us. And doing it raises some questions: Is it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your puter watching a documentary about America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida. Just as you know, its all true. I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New York. I cant find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment. Someday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I mean. Unfortunately, TV and movies never show the other side of what students must do to survive America. Education in the States is really different from other places. Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Deans List if you have all As on your transcript. However, these grades dont just e from your test performances. The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have to manage. Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea. There es a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for. And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into？” Im not trying to intimidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States. One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in. And the more time you give to your study, the more open doors you will have by the time you finish your degree.24. The author wrote this passage to _.A. help readers prepare for studying in the USB. warn people of the dangers of living in the USC. promote the US education system to overseas studentsD. make readers understand the benefits of studying in the US25. According to the author, America is _.A. a place that he could not get used toB. a country where students can learn freelyC. a dangerous place to live in without family or friendsD. a place where people from different backgrounds get on well26. When the author first visited Times Square, he felt _.A. disappointed B. surprised C. excited D. nervous27. According to the passage, which of the following is most challenging?A. Attending all the classes. B. Getting all As in the tests.C. Writing papers every week. D. Balancing different study requirements. CMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses say she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter. “Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm call if they see or hear something highly unusual.” But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can if youre an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.” Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly forcover. The flamingoes (a kind of bird) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped. So what kind of vibrations(震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough says earthquakes produce two types of waves a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She said she thinks the “P” wave might be what set the animals off. Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith says the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was ing before it happened. “Im not surprised at all,” Smith said.28. Why did Mandara act strangely one day? A. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.B. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.D. Because an earthquake had happened.29. According to Brandie Smith, .A. earthquakes produce two types of waves B. primates usually gather together before a quake C. many animals hearing is sharp D. Because an earthquake had happened.30. Which animal seems unable to sense a quake? A. A flamingo. B. A lemur. C. A giant panda. DA lizard.31. What is the best title for the passage? A. How animals survive a quake. B. How animals behave before a quake. C. How animals differ from humans. D. How animals protect their young in a quake.DIf women are mercilessly exploited(利用，剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they feel upset at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you e to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time doing with the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines (领口) are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, fort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of disfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes (高跟鞋).When paring men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes reflect basic qualities of inconstancy(反复无常) and instability(不稳定)? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.32. Designers and big stores always make money_.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing33. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the_ of clothing.A. cost B. appearance C. fort D. suitability34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the mercial exploitation of women.B. The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only weled by women.35. By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious (Lines 1-2, Para. 4) the writer means that_.A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with disfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more stable and reliable in character第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从对话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。You can help your firm innovate(创新) by creating a culture in which all employees are actively encouraged to put forward ideas. But how do you get the best from people and encourage them to be at their most creative?Stress the importance of creativity. 36 . If they dont understand innovation can keep your firm petitive, your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat.Make time for brainstorming. Find some time for new ideas to e out.
