That questio n is What' your n ame?' Every one gives a differe nt an swer, but every one is correct.Have you ever wondered about people s'names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People "sfirst n ames, or give n n ames, are chose n by their pare nts. Sometimes the n ame of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-k nown pers on. A boy could be n amed Gorge Wash ington Smith; a girl could be n amed Hele n Keller Jon es.Some people give their childre n n ames that mea n good thin gs. Clara means bright 'Beatrice means dne who gives happ in ess ";D on ald means world ruler ”； Leonard means as brave as a lio n'.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived n ear a brook（小溪）;some one who was called Lon gstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Gree nwood family lived in or n ear a leafy forest.Other early surn ames came from people 'occupati ons. The most com mon occupati onal n ame is Smith, which means a pers on who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter---a pers on who owned or drove a cart: Potter---a pers on who made pots and pans.The an cestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their n eighbors in their n ative village. The Carpenter ' great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallma n. Joh n Fish was probably an excelle nt swimmer and Joh n Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father ' name. English-speaking People added —or -son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family"sancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O 'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.56. Which of the followi ng aspects do the surn ames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived.B. People's characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People s occupations.57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _____ .A. owned or drove a cartB. made thins with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture58. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son tobecome a world leader, the baby might be named ___________ .A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. George LongstreetD. Donald Greenwood59. The underlined word “descendants”in the last paragraph means a person's ___ .A. later generationsB. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsorsBIt is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness（荒野）.For Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increase. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can 't find enough food, they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey（猎物） will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology. If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We 'd also save some farm animals.In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf ”will not disappear.But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured. The strongest survive. No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. That has always been a law of nature.Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population form becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can 't always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf ”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.60. According to the passage, some people in North America favor killing wolves for all thefollowi ng reas ons EXCEPT that _____ .A. there are too many wolvesB. they kill large nu mbers of deerC. they attack cows and chicke ns for foodD. they destroy the wilder ness pla nt life61. Some people are aga inst killi ng wolves because _____ .A. wolves help to keep the ecological bala nee in the wilder nessB. there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC. there are too many deer in the wilder nessD. wolves are afraid of people and n ever attack people62.

A NEXUS card, a U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine Document, and certified copy of a birthcertificate.DImagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and the n, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and havi ng dinner there.Sounds unu sual, does n'tit? But it ' not that un realistic, with the developme nt of China 'high speed railway system. And that 'not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan---to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and even tually Easter n Europe.China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and the n into Wester n Europe.If China ' plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beiji ng in un der two days.The new system would still follow china ' high-speed railway sta ndard. And the trai ns would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airpla nes.China' bullet train（高速客车）,the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world ' fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.Of course, there are some tech ni cal challe nges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge（车距）,maintenance of railway tracks. So, it' importa nt to pay atte ntio n to every detail.But the key issue is really mon ey. China is already spe nding hun dreds of billi ons of yua n on domestic railway expa nsion.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.It 'll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create moreopportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring somemuch-needed resources, but would also help develop China 's far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they 'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.67. China 'snew high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ____ .A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism68. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan isA. technical issuesB. safety of the systemC. financial problemsD. maintenance of railway tracks69. Which of the following words best describes the author 's attitude towards China 's high-speedrailway plan?A. Critical.B. Reserved.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.70. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway StandardsB. Big Railway DreamsC. High-speed Bullet TrainsD. International Railway Network 第四部分：任务型阅读For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the “sixth sense”of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer.One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass（指南针）.Our earth itself is a big magnet（磁铁）.So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousa nd years ago and inven ted the compass, it allowed sailors to n avigate（航海）on ocea n voyages, even under cloudy skies.Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature.Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it, and they have been widely studied.One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds'heads to block their magnetic sense---just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pige ons. Evide ntly they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magn etic sen se.Similar experime nts with the same kind of results were done with hon eybees. These in sects alsoseem to have a special sense of directi on.In spite of the experime nts, the idea of an ani mal compass seemed pretty extraord in ary. How would an ani mal get the magn etic stuff for a compass?An an swer came from an un expected source. A scie ntist was study ing bacteria that live in the mud of ponds and marshes. He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one directio n---n orth.Further study showed that each little bacterium had a cha in of dense particles in side, which proved magnetic. The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth'smag net.The big news was that a living thing, even a simple bacterium, can make magnetite. That led to a search to see whether animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer, scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds, and even in fish. In each animal, except for the bee, the magnetic stuff was always in or closer to the brain.81.假设你应邀参加学校组织的“英语学习师生座谈会”，请你根据下表所提示的信息，用1.对所给要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译。
