24、 name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of 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 b
25、y the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after 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 Stamfo
26、rd Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the West and the East.Another way of naming 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
27、were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus - obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named af
28、ter the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. 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 fe
29、w roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe 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 roa
30、d again.56. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government57.

Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans
33、have forgotten the pioneers. BMost students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks. They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules. However, research has proved this method inefficient an
34、d ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember process and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast. Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by
35、attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily. Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique intuitive approach to teach English grammar. Her syste
36、m uses point of view stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules. In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but begi
37、nning with since he was a child; then repeated again, but this time about the future. Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak. Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study Engl
38、ish grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.61. Which of the following ways is approved by the author? A. Remembering grammar rules. B. Taking grammar tests.C. Analyzing grammatical structure. D. Applying language to situations.62. What does the underlined part this way i
39、n the fourth paragraph refer to?A. Talking to native speakers when learning. B. Learning English grammar in a complete way.C. Using correct English grammar. D. Learning English grammar 4from a teacher.63. From this passage we learn that _. A. native speakers learn English grammar by listening to sto
40、ries B. Blaine Rays method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciouslyC. Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell storiesD. its hard for students to speak correct English in the new system64. This passage wants to _. A. criticize the traditional way of learning grammarB.
41、introduce a new way to study English grammar C. ask students to learn English grammar by listening to storiesD. tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar65.why shouldnt the English learners use an analytical approach? A. because the analytical approach can let them learn English grammar
42、effortlesslyB. because the analytical approach makes them be able to use English correctly when they speak.C. because the analytical approach cant let them memorize and then apply a great number of rules.D. because Real speech is too fast.CWhen a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately
43、 noticedthe babys ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed hisconcern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dadthat his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance. But the nervous fathe
44、r persisted. He wondered if the child might sufferpsychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should justwait to see if the boy grows into his ears.The father finally felt more optimistic about his child,
45、but now heworried about his wifes reaction to those large ears. She had beendelivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.“She doesnt take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready tomeet her new baby. The nurse w
46、ent along with the dad to lend some supportin case this inexperienced mother became upset about her babys large ears.The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered forthe short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby wasplaced in his mothers arms, who eased the blanket ba
47、ck so that she couldlook at her child for the first time.She took one look at her babys face and looked to her husband and gasped,“Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”No problem with Mom. She married those ears.and she loves the man towhom they are attached.The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not
48、 in the face; beauty is a lightin the heart.” Its hard to see the ears when youre looking into the light.66. When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that_.A. The baby might not grow up healthily. B. The baby might be laughed at by others.C. The baby might disappoint its mother. D. the bab

To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship. DThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has rema
52、ined constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before. Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-
53、century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.
54、Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest devel
55、opments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reali
56、ty in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. Over thousands of years the
57、 function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 71. The underlined word “poetry” most probab
58、ly means _. A. an object for artistic creation B. acollection of poems C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene 72. Leslies paintings are extraordinary because . A. they are close in style to works in ancient times B. they look like works by 19th-century painters C. they draw attention to common thi

It does not have a long-lasting standard. C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. D. It is lacking in modern works of art. 74. What doe
