Qu
18、ite 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 by the government. As in many are
19、as, 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 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 i
20、n keeping with traditions in many countriesin 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 were originally from the places that th
21、e 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 Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Sine places were named after the activities that used to go on at t
22、hose 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 few roads in Singapore are named by their s
23、hapes. 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 road again.36. We learn from Paragraph 1 th
24、at _. A. the government is usually the first to name a place B. many places tend to have more than one name C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named D. people prefer the place names given by the government37. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Change
25、suddenly.B. Change significantly. C. Disappear mysteriously.D. Disappear very slowly.38. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase. C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent.39. Bras Basah Road is named _. A. after a person B. after a place C. af
26、ter an active D. by its shape40. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes. C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.BI
27、am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently
28、arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damage
29、d and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my
30、 mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that peop
31、le in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all th
32、e Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structur
33、e: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _. A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languages C. s
34、he works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession42. The author used to think of her mothers English as _. A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. practical43.

A. well structured B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning45. What is the passage mainly abo
36、ut? A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English. D. The authors experiences of using broken English.CThe ability to do several things at once has become one of the great
37、 measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously (同时地)? And why simply work out on treadmi
38、ll (单调的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment - three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to
39、boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If Im this busy, I must be important.”Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cell phones. Too dangerou
40、s, the assembly said, citing (引用) research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a s
41、uburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value? More than a decade ago, long before multi-tasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology
42、 (神学) in Indiana with whom I corresponded made a case for what might be called uni-tasking the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time. Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.” Good advice, Ive found, whatever the task.Perhaps, too, the ban on
43、phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes (构成) productivity and accomplishment.46. The author thinks that multitasking has become one of the great measures of s
44、elf-worth because _. A. it helps people to use time effectively B. it makes people feel they are important C. it means the ability to do several things at once D. people worship speed and desire47. The bill approved by the New York Assembly is mentioned in the second paragraph in order to _. A. demo

A. the new fashion for 21-century Americans B. accepted by most residents in Indiana C. created by a retired professor of theology D. the traditional act of doing one thing at once50.

48、o blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they always have the final say; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain pr
49、oblems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often form too low an estimate of their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often anger their parents with their choices in clothes, ha
50、irstyles, entertainment, and music. This is not their intention. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or language or clothes or hairstyles anger their parents, this
51、 gives them additional pleasure. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are a rebel, and proud because you do not want your parents praise of what you do. If they did give praise, it looks as if you are betraying your own age g
52、roup. But in that case, you are assuming that you are oppressed; you cant win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of childhood, when you are completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan t
53、o control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. Because you have
