32、解】主旨大意題。文章屬于人物傳記類文章，主要圍繞斯坦李的生前事跡進(jìn)行展開。且文章第一段第一句已經(jīng)點(diǎn)明“l(fā)egendary comic book writer stan lee has died at the age of 95”斯坦李的去世是寫這篇文章的初衷，故綜合選項(xiàng)c選項(xiàng)最切合題意。csocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of

33、reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after

34、 the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the west and the east.another way of nam

35、ing places is naming them after other places. perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in for

36、mer british bases. if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circusobviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example, “base basah” means “wet rice” in ma

37、lay(馬來語). now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”? the reason is simple. during the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describ

38、e their shapes, like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.8. what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. change suddenly.b. change significantly.c. disa

41、；以其他地點(diǎn)的名字命名；以活動(dòng)的名稱命名；以形狀命名等。【8題詳解】詞義猜測題。從劃線詞“die hard”后句“and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.”可知，盡管其意義已消失很長時(shí)間，但人們?nèi)匀灰苑枪俜降拿謥矸Q呼該地方，所以“die hard”的詞義應(yīng)為：消失得很慢。故選d項(xiàng)?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段前兩句可知，新加坡的許多道路和地方都被命名，以便后代記住這些先驅(qū)者。因此我們有stamford road 和raffles place廣場這

42、樣的名字。所以raffles place應(yīng)是指先驅(qū)者的名字。故選a項(xiàng)?！?0題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段前兩句“some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example,”可知，有些地方是以過去在這些地方進(jìn)行的活動(dòng)命名的。bras basah路就是一個(gè)有趣的例子。所以bras basah路是以活動(dòng)命名的。故選c項(xiàng)?！?1題詳解】推理判斷題。從第一段“frequently it happens that a p

43、lace has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government.”可知，一個(gè)地方有兩個(gè)名字的事情經(jīng)常發(fā)生，一個(gè)是由人們命名，一個(gè)是政府命名的，所以許多地方不只有一個(gè)名字，故選b項(xiàng)。【點(diǎn)睛】dwhen we go out traveling,we need either a map or gps to point us in the right direction.but bumblebees（大黃蜂）have neither of these things,yet they still know th

44、e best route.why is that?it turns out that these hard-working little bees try many possible passages before picking out the best one and remembering it the next time they journey out.they learn from“trial and error”,according to a study by scientists from the university of london.we use it all the t

48、 be given up and another one was tested.“the speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees,as this complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,”professor lars chittka,leader of the study,told s.in fact,the smart bumblebees do

49、nt try every possible route.normally,they would only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.more interestingly,scientists found that if they removed a flower,bees would continue looking at that location,even if it has been empty for a long time.“it seems bees dont easily fo
