27、，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A.Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about peopl

28、es names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl

29、could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”. The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family w

30、ith the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person

31、 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 person who owned or drove a cart; Potter a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for thei

32、r neighbors in their native village. The Carpenters 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

33、with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking pe

34、ople added s or son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the Mc Donnells and the Mc Donnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell.56. Which of the following aspects do the surna

35、mes in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters.C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations.57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _.A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or cont

36、ains D. built houses and furniture58. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _.A. Beatrice Smith B. Leonard CarterC. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood59. The underlined word “descendants” in

37、the last paragraph means a persons _. A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later sponsors BIn the sea, there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a rin

38、g of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island. If you look into this lake, youll see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, youll see thousands of little holes in it.

39、 In each of those holes, a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water. Then the sea brought it to small trees and other things. After some years, these thin

40、gs changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to the earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island. The little seeds grew. In a few years, there were plants all over the islands. In a few more years there were trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built l

41、ittle by little. The workers were very small. Dont they teach us a lesson? What do you know the lesson is?60. What does a coral island look like? It looks like _.A. a desert B. a ring of land C. trees, grass and flowers D. a colourful lake 61. _ in the sea.A. We can see many flowers B. There are lot

42、s of big trees C. There are some coral islands D. The water is always warm62. How were seeds of trees, grass and flowers mainly brought to the coral islands? A. Fishes brought them there. B. The water brought them there. C. People brought them there. D. None of the above.C The term “multitasking” or

43、iginally referred to a computers ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises (人腦訓(xùn)練) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Altho

44、ugh checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss. In order to multitask

45、, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex (前額葉腦皮層). Brian scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment o

46、f rest” yourself if youve ever dialed (撥電話) and the answering, your mind shifted to anther thought or task, and then look that “moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers. Job efficiency (效率) declines while multitasking as compared to when they perform only one task at a

47、time. Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks in habitual, or requires little thought. Most people dont find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes. We o

48、ften dont remember things as well when were trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget peoples names-even sometimes right

49、 after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may* off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss * overlook key information being passed on to them. 63. Why

50、are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking? A. To make them more productive. B. To reduce their stress and anxiety. C. To develop their communication skills. D. To help them perform daily tasks more easily. 64. According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forg

51、et who has called? A. He may leave his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged. B. He is probably interrupted by another task. C. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called. D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking. 65. People tend to make mistake when _.A. they perform s

52、everal challenging tasks at a time. B. new messages are processed one after anotherC. their relationships with others are affectedD. the tasks require little thought66. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Multitasking has become a way of life. B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.

53、C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved. D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better. DWhile there has been public debate about whether running is good for your health for a long time, experts agree that running has more benefits than the costs. Some people are concerned that the

54、pressure on your knees and ankles(踝關(guān)節(jié)) can be detrimental. While this can be true, there are many things that you can do to reduce your risk of injury.You should always go to a doctor for advice before you begin any type of exercise program. Then, a good pair of running shoes can be helpful as your feet hit the ground. They will help protect your ankles by providing stability (穩(wěn)固) to your feet. So i
