第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)

A

The Chinese name system has a long history. Today, there are over 700 different Chinese family names, but as few as twenty cover most of the Chinese family names. Most Chinese family names have only one character, but there are a few with two. Chinese family names are written first, something that often causes confusion among those from countries where the family name usually comes last.

Generally speaking, Chinese given names have one or two characters, and are written after the family names. When a baby was born, parents often give him/her a ―milk name‖ or ―little name‖, such as Xiaobao. The given name is then chosen somewhat later, but the parents may continue to use the nickname. Given names of males are linked with strength and firmness while females with beauty and flowers. Females sometimes have names that repeat a character.

Chinese personal names may also reflect periods of history. For example, many Chinese born during the Cultural Revolution have ―revolu-tionary names‖, such as ―Guoqiang‖, ―Dongfeng‖, or even ―Wenge‖!

Chinese married women usually keep their maiden names (娘家姓) as their family names, rather than use the names of their husband, and children usually use their fathers’ family name.

With a limited supply of family names, Chinese depend on using given names to introduce variety in naming. Almost any character with any meaning can be used. However, it is not considered appro-priate (合适) to name a child after a famous person and highly impolite after an older member among the family or even distant relatives. 36. From the passage, we know that ______.

A. women should change their family names after getting married B. children’s nicknames are not used when they grow up

Chilean miner Edison Pena plans to run the New York City Marathon on Sunday, less than a month after he was rescued from a collapsed (坍塌的) mine that trapped him for 69 days. Pena ran 10 km daily through the mine’s tunnels (巷道) to beat the anxiety, wearing cut-down boots until rescuers sent him a pair of sports shoes through a narrow hole that served as the miners’ ―lifeline‖ to the surface.

―When I ran in the darkness, I was running for life,‖ Pena told a news conference in New York. ―I was running to show that I wasn’t just waiting around. I also wanted God to see that I really wanted to live.‖

The New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, had invited Pena to be a guest at Sunday’s race, but he said last week he did not want to watch, he wanted to run. ―I was very eager to take on this big challenge,‖ he said. ―I wanted to show the world I could run.‖ He hoped to run the 26.2-mile race in about six hours. ―I have a knee injury, but I am eager to cross the finish line,‖ he said. Last year, Meb Keflezighi won the men’s marathon in two hours, nine minutes and 15 seconds.

An Elvis Presley fan who asked rescuers to send the singer’s music down into the mine, Pena broke into song at the news conference with the Presley hit Return to Sender. The miners were discovered alive on August 22—17 days after the mine collapsed, but it took two months for rescuers to dig a hole big enough to bring them out. 39. When trapped underground, Pena ran a long way every day to ______. A. find a way to get out B. dig a lifeline to the ground C. keep himself from coldness D. get rid of his uneasy feelings 40. According to the passage, Pena ______.

A. wore sports shoes while working underground B. hoped to break Keflezighi’s running record C. was not expected to run the marathon at first D. got badly hurt on the knee in the mine accident 41. Asking for Presley’s music mainly shows that ______. A. Presley gave him hope to live

B. he has a positive attitude towards life C. being a singer is his biggest dream

D. music is more important than life to him 42. Pena can be best described as ______. A. open-minded B. strong-willed C. hard-working D. warm-hearted

A telescope (望远镜), called Gaia, is being designed by astronomers in Europe, and it couldn’t be more different from Pan-STARRS, which is another telescope being designed. While Pan-STARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for Earth, Gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系).

Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located, Gaia’s map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are. Over five years, Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy. Each object will be observed about 70

times.

Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket. It contains two telescopes, each focused at a different angle (角度). These two telescopes act like Gaia’s ―eyes‖. The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object, at slightly different angles. By using two telescopes like eyes, Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.

Gaia, which is to be sent into space in 2011, will be a powerful telescope. If you were to use it on Earth, for example, you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.

Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now. The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising. The universe, with all its planets, stars and other strange objects, is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes. 43. How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 44. The map to be drawn by Gaia ______. A. can show every building on Earth B. can show you where your town is C. will just show the stars around Earth

D. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy 45. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What Gaia will do in space. B. When Gaia will start to work. C. How powerful Gaia will be. D. What Gaia will do to Earth.

46. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _______. A. seem very surprising to scientists B. will not be put into use in a short time C. will just look at new things in universe

D. will be more powerful than the old generations

Clean water is not only important for food production, but necessary for our life. However, large numbers of people in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are going without. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day for dirty water or lack (缺少) of water.

Agriculture is the primary user of water at 70–85% of fresh water in the world. Industrial uses of water don’t often come to mind, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water supply in developed countries.

Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, the local government has to cut down on water use. Many cities are turning to privatization (私有化) of water as a method of controlling use. The poor are paying as much as a quarter of their monthly income (收入) for water in some developing countries.

In 60% of large European cities, groundwater is being used at a faster rate. People are saving water by simply using less and being careful with what they do use. Sometimes it’s as simple as not throwing out water that they could use elsewhere.

In Australia overuse of water has always been a problem. The Australian government has encouraged households and industries to collect rainwater and reuse water from showers. Tech-nology is helping householders for shower and bath water for reuse in toilets or gardens.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program designed to encourage families and businesses to examine their water use and save more water. Good water management has been considered by scientists and the UN as the key to solving the water problem. We can all work together to protect our valuable water in our daily life.

47. In developed countries, most water is used by ______. A. agriculture B. industry C. families D. businesses

48. To save water, what do Australians and Europeans both choose to do?
