But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answ
23、er, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about peoples 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
24、 person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl 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 las
25、t names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with 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
26、 most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person 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.Th
27、e ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their 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 we
28、re two men who were named John in the same village, the John 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
29、 by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people 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 MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the
30、same Donnell.51. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters.C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations.52. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _.A. owned or drove a
31、cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or contains D. built houses and furniture53. 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
32、D. Donald Greenwood54. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _. A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later sponsors BI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but m
33、ine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the ro
34、om. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! ” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answere
35、d it. From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I c
36、ollected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I loo
37、ked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, MThanks. ”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together： giving in, cleaning up and holding on.55. What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldnt find her books.B.She heard the author

40、rushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is
41、moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (dont forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure youre brushing long enough. “Its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brush
42、ing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor. The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to
43、make it smart but also fun,” Several says. Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him ho
44、w well his children brushed. The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera

ESince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help pe
58、ople with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by
59、thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells（神经细胞）. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles（肌肉） to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or othe
60、r conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp
61、(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving t
62、he computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two go
63、als. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.67. BCI is a technology that can _. A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computer

70、 hours. She would tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didnt know about them. Thats what I love so much about space.Peop

Among them,there are also some students who have dropped out of school because their families are so poor. And we can also see some disabled people. So we should gi
83、ve money to those who need our help badly.On the other hand, however, many more students think we shouldnt give them money because most of the beggars beg not because they are poor but because they want to make money more easily. They are not real beggars. Besides, to give money would encourage them to be lazy even if they have the ability to work.In general, we should help the people of the inferior group but when we give money we should be careful.版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
