The term given name refers to the fact that the name is given to a baby at its birth. It is different from a surname which is normally 1 among members of the child's immediate (直系的) family. In English-speaking cultures, many factors(因素) have 2 the choice of given names for children.

3 in some families, the first-born boy is named after his grandfather or father. In other families, certain names have been handed down to show respect for a relative they

4 .

For a long time, 5 has also played an important role in naming children. Names such as John and Peter from the Bible are given to boys while Patience and Sophie (wisdom) are some parents’ favorite names for girls because they symbolize Christian 6 . However, for people who are fond of 7 , names involving things of beauty are favored. 8 names like Rose and Lily fall into this category.

Other factors that have a great impact on the 9 about names include culture and fashion. People may choose a name because they are 10 attracted to a character in a book or TV series or a public figure. For example, in 2004, Keira became a 11 name for new-born girls in the UK, following the rise of Keira Knightley, a British actress. Sometimes, 12 names like foreign ones may be adopted because they are less widely used and will 13 make their children unique and distinctive.

Finally, unlike the people mentioned above, some people never take the origin, the meaning or the 14 of a name into consideration. They 15 pick a name the sound of which they like. However, even these people may look at the calendar to pick a lucky day when they make their choice.

1. A. selected B. shared C. enjoyed D. accepted

2. A. led B. prevented C. exchanged D. influenced

3. A. Fortunately B. Finally C. Traditionally D. Comfortably

4. A. forget B. support C. dislike D. admire

5. A. power B. religion C. literature D. communication

6. A. qualities B. attitudes C. celebrations D. organizations

7. A. art B. sports C. nature D. music

8. A. Bird B. Tree C. Flower D. Animal

9. A. function B. invention C. adjustment D. decision

10. A. specially B. strongly C. separately D. repeatedly

11. A. hot B. cute C. funny D. stupid

12. A. common B. awful C. valuable D. unusual

Many years ago, I was employed as a Housing Officer, dealing with housing issues.

One morning, a teenager 16 (rush) into our office in Yorkshire, England. He was traveling here alone when he found his wallet was stolen. As a result, he couldn’t get back home to Scotland and he had to ask 17 help.

Our job was helping 18 (home) people and others with housing problems, not providing money for travel. When I explained why we could not help him, he looked as if he was about to cry!

I offered him some food and asked him to wait outside 22 I finished work at 5:30 pm. And then I drove him all 23 way to Scotland.

We arrived at his house at 10:30 pm. A lady, 24 looked so anxious, answered the door. I saw tears in her eyes as she thanked me 25 (excite). She wanted to give me twenty pounds for helping her son, but I just took one Scottish pound note as a reminder of that day.

第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I can still remember the day my parents gave me the ultimatum(最后通牒). After repeated efforts to help me turn my life around, they realized I had no intention of changing. They offered to take me to a youth program to get help, but I rejected their offer. It was such a painful time for them for I hurt them deeply and saddened them a lot.

When I was fifteen years old, I left home and took to the streets of Philadelphia. I was what people called a rebellious(叛逆的) teenager. Although not proud of it, I was fully absorbed in the fast life of the big city. My parents loved and disciplined me, but I rebelled against their efforts to help me. My negative influence on my younger brothers was not something they were willing to see.

It wasn’t long after leaving home that everything began going downward. I was in trouble again and again, and finally sent away from school. I was a confused, selfish and angry teenager without any friends. I am certain that my teachers would have voted me least likely to succeed. Yet within a year, my life was turned around. My parents didn’t abandon me but prayed for me until I finally woke up.

Today, more than thirty years later, I still believe that troubled teenagers need to know about families’ love and salvation. My family saved me from a destructive lifestyle during my teen years. When I hear about teens doing foolish things that hurt themselves and others, it grieves me deeply. Yet it also reminds me of reaching out to teens. In fact, teenagers can be greatly encouraged by knowing that we care about them. We need to spend enough time with them to win their respect and positively influence their lives. We also need to encourage the parents of teens. I know that parenting teens is not easy, which motivated me to help the parents of teens.

26. The author’s parents gave him the ultimatum because ________.

A. they were unwilling to offer him help

B. he was rebellious and refused to change

C. they didn’t want to live with him any more

D. he was busy taking part in a youth program

27. According to the first two paragraphs, the parents had the following feelings EXCEPT ________.

A. sadness

B. anxiety

28. What made the author wake up and changed his life finally?

B. His parents’ not giving up.

C. His teachers’ persuasion.

D. Being sent away from school.

29. The underlined word “salvation” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. rescue

B. blame

C. reaction

D. hate

30. From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. teens should live a destructive lifestyle

B. school should send the troubled teens away

C. parents should grieve deeply with the troubled teens

D. both troubled teens and their parents need encouragement

B

American writer Toni Morrison was born in 1931 in Ohio. She was raised in an African American family filled with songs and stories of Southern myths, which later shaped her writing style. Her happy family life led to her excellent performance in school, despite the atmosphere of racial discrimination in the society.

After graduating from college, Morrison started to work as a teacher and got married in 1958. Several years later, her marriage began to fail. For a temporary escape, she joi ned a small writers’ group, in which each member was required to bring a story or poem for discussion. She wrote a story based on the life of a girl she knew in childhood who had prayed to God for blue eyes. The story was well received by the group, but then she put it away, thinking she was done with it.

In 1964, Morrison got divorced and devoted herself to writing. One day, she dusted off the story she had written for the writers’ group and decided to make it into a novel. She drew on her memories from childhood and expanded upon them using her imagination so that the characters developed a life of their own. The Bluest Eye was eventually published in 1970. From 1970 to 1992, Morrison published five more novels.

In her novels, Morrison brings in different elements of the African American past, their struggles, problems and cultural memory. In Song of Solomon, for example, Morrison tells the story of an African American man and his search for identity in his culture. The novels and other works won her several prizes. In 1993, Morrison received the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is the eighth woman and the first African American woman to win the honour.

C

The Japanese have long puzzled public health researchers because they are such an apparent paradox （矛盾体）: They have the world’s lowest rates of heart disease and the largest number of people that live to or beyond 100 years despite the fact that most Japanese men smoke—and smoking counts as one of the strongest risks for he art disease. So what’s protecting Japanese men?

Two professors at the University of California at Berkeley hoped to find out the answer. They investigated a pool of 12,000 Japanese men equally divided into three groups: One group had lived in Japan for all their lives, and the other two groups had moved to Hawaii or Northern California. It was found that the rate of heart disease among Japanese men increased five times in California and about half of that for those in Hawaii.

The differences could not be explained by any of the usual risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking or high blood pressure. The change in diet, from sushi to hamburgers and fries, was also not related to the rise in heart disease. What mattered was the kind of society they had created for themselves in their new home country. The most traditional group of Japanese Americans, who had a tight connection with and supported each other, had a heart-attack rate as low as their fellow Japanese back home. But the rate of those who had adopted the more isolated(孤立的) Western lifestyle increased by three to five times.

The study shows that the need to bond with a social group is fundamental to humans. It remains the key to whether we stay healthy or get ill, even whether we live or die. We need to belong, not online, but in the real world of hugs, handshakes, and pats on the back.

36. What is the situation about the Japanese that puzzles public health researcher?

A. The Japanese have the world’s lowest rates of heart disease.

B. Most Japanese men smoke but still have good heart conditions.

C. Smoking is one of the strongest risks for heart disease in Japan.

D. The number of people living to or beyond 100 years is the largest in the world.

37. What is the ratio(比值) of heart disease between Japanese living in Japan and Japanese Americans

in Hawaii?

A. 1 to 2.5

B. 1 to 5

C. 3 to 5

D. 1.5 to 5

38. Which of the following is a finding of the two American professors’ study?

A. Many Japanese men that lived up to 100 years were smokers.

B. Those who often ate hamburgers and fries were more likely to fall sick.

C. Westernized lifestyle was related to the heart-attack rate of Japanese Americans.

D. Japanese immigrants to America always formed a community of tight connection.

39. As can be inferred from the passage, which of the following is the least likely to have heart disease?

A. A smoker with many friends.

B. A smoker addicted to the Internet.

C. A non-smoker with no family.

D. A non-smoker living alone in the mountains.

40. What is the best title of this passage?

A. Eastern and Western Lifestyles

B. The Power of Social Connection

C. Heart Diseases and Their Causes

D. Differences in Japanese Americans

Today the car seems to make great progress in many ways. A variety of technologies that assist drivers are appearing on new cars. A developing technology called Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication,

or V2V, is being tested by car producers to help reduce the number of accidents. V2V works by using wireless signals to send information back and forth between cars about their location, speed and direction, so that they keep safe distances from each other. Another new technology being tested is Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication, or V2I. V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with road signs or traffic signals and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. V2I could also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes. Both V2V and V2I have the potential to reduce around 80 percent of vehicle crashes on the road.

More and more new cars can read traffic signs, maintain a safe distance in steady traffic and brake automatically to avoid crashes. Moreover, a number of firms are creating cars that drive themselves to a chosen destination without a human at the controls. It is predicted that driverless cars will be ready for sale within five years. If and when cars go completely driverless, the benefits will be enormous. Google, which already uses prototypes(雏形) of such cars to ferry its staff along Californian freeways, once put a blind man in such a car and filmed him being driven off to buy takeaway hamburgers. If this works, huge numbers of elderly and disabled people are able to travel around on their own more conveniently. The young will not have to pay expensive motor insurance, because their reckless(鲁莽的) hands and feet will no longer touch the wheel or the accelerator. People who go to work by car will gain hours each day to rest or read a newspaper in the car.

41. Which of the following statements is true about V2V?

A.V2V communication has been very well developed.

B. Through V2V, a car can go around beyond the speed limit.

C. Through V2V, drivers can chat with each other on the road.

D. V2V is designed to decrease crashes by keeping safe distances.

42. What does “infrastructure” in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure probably refer to in this passage?

A. Traffic signs and information systems.

B. Roads, bridges and buildings.

C. Knowledge and rules about safe driving.

D. The traffic department of the government.

43. Which of the following is NOT a potential benefit of driverless cars?

A. The elderly can travel around freely by themselves.

B. “Drivers” can sleep in the car on their way to work.

C. People can have a thrilling car race in the street.

D. A blind man can get into a car and travel safely.

44. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Cars will refuse to start if the driver is drunk.

B. The production of driverless cars is still far away.

C. There may be less car accident victims in the future.

D. Everyone, including children, can afford a new car.

45. What is the writer’s attitude toward these new technologies of cars?

A. Negative.

B. Positive.

C. Neutral

D. Not clear.

46. With the right furniture, landscaping and a few other elements, we can take advantage of yard space and extend our homes to take advantage of nature. You do not have to settle for a simple patio or deck. Today, you can build an outdoor living room or kitchen. And a well-designed outdoor living area can boost the value of your home if you need to sell it, too.

47. Landscaping on a budget can be a terrible idea, as you may recall from the bill to fill your small flowerbed last spring. But fear not, creative one. With a good plan and a little wisdom, you can create a stunningly landscaped yard that will make others envy. Here are tips for keeping within your budget. 48. For the adventurous do-it-yourselfers, there is nothing stopping you from building your own BBQ pit or pizza oven. Both work on very simple principles. All it takes is some time, energy and the right materials. Some of us might not be quite so handy. Fortunately, many companies sell and will even build or install a pit or oven in your yard.

49. The days are getting longer and a little warmer and you are just starting to see the first buds on the early blooming trees. This means spring is near, and for gardeners, it cannot come soon enough. Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do in the days before the soil is finally warm enough to plant in.

50. Water may or may not inspire wisdom, but it certainly adds entertainment value to the garden. If you are wondering what you can do to enhance your yard, or add something to your plain old patio, a water feature may be the answer. Adding a water feature is a reliable way to create interest and a cool focal point outdoors without resorting to dragging the flat screen outside.

“It’s already six o’clock. My dear son must be on the way home now.” At the doorstep sat an old man with grey hair, speaking in a low voice. In the kitchen, his wife was busy preparing the dinner happily. “These are all my son’s favorite dishes. I must get everything ready before he returns home so that he can have a good meal.”

It was getting darker. The neighbors all finished their dinners and began to enjoy the TV programs. “There must be a traffic jam.” The old man comforted himself. Despite the heavy snow, he kept waiting and waiting. Suddenly the phone rang. He answered it eagerly, but after a short while he hung up the phone slowly. It was his son, a boss of a big company. He said he had decided not to come back home but to fly to Europe for an important business meeting.

On the table were the well-prepared dishes. The old couple sat in silence, disappointed and sad. It was a year since they last saw their son. Tonight was the New Year’s Eve—a get-together time for a family!

The Shantou Port-opening Culture Exhibition Hall, a three-storeyed building with a long history, is located at No. 1 Yongping Road, Shantou. This European-styled hall, built in 1907, was repaired in April, 2010 and was first opened to the public in December in the same year. In the hall, you can see paintings by famous artists, precious cultural artworks and musical instruments of Chaozhou music. People can visit the hall for free on Saturdays, but the number of visitors is limited to 400 each day. As a famous place of interest for tourism in Shantou, the Exhibition Hall is the best place for people to know about the history and development of Shantou City since its port-opening in 1860.

On New Year’s Eve an old couple prepared a rich dinner and waited eagerly for their son, who finally didn’t come home because of his work, which made the couple very disappointed and sad. （33 words）

Having read the story, I was deeply moved by the old couple. How they longed to get together with their son for just a dinner! Honestly speaking, I also feel angry with their son. If I were him, I would cancel the meeting and come back home as soon as possible. Nothing is more important than a reunion with my parents.

(支持)As far as I am concerned, it is necessary that visiting parents be written into law. Firstly, our parents work hard to bring us up, asking for nothing in return. With legal support, when parents get old, they can get the care they deserve from their children. Secondly, the law can be a reminder of their duty for those who are too busy to visit their parents, and those unwilling to take care of their parents will be punished.

(反对)However, I don’t think it necessary to write visiting parents into law. It is not fair to punish those who are not able to visit their parents often because of their busy work or lack of money. What’s more, for those who do follow the law, if they are unkind to and don’t care about their parent s, the law won’t make any difference. Laws can’t solve all our problems in real life.

高三英语周测试题

虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow

石家庄二中2020-2021学年第一学期高三英语学科周测试卷8、23

石家庄二中实验学校2018级英语周考试卷 命题人张建伟做题人殷晓优考试时间8 月23 日 I 阅读理解（共4 小题；每小题2 分，满分8分） Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像). Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素）under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute vide os of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study. Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin. “In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压)，we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,”Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.” The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas. 1.

河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A It’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies". Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard. Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image. Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations. Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
