1、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action-particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s forpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names forsocial, historical, political, orcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long and difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. and short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed formarketing purposes. Forexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ormaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive-Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes ____ the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration forthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authorMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, and she did get her books published!【单选题】

2、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president and the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country ____ gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) and the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majorsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong forany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign forgun control orwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fornine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professorin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument formore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government forprotection."【单选题】

3、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live and attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically plain, oreven ugly, because many _____ have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull orpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fora teacher to have a great capacity forsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty (脆弱) and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential fora teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】
A.people
B.ones
C.such
D.those
正确答案:C
答案解析:此句意为“这并不排除长相平平,甚至面貌丑陋者,他们或许更有魅力”,many such指“很多这样的人”。
4、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency forworkers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a majorattraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Forexample, the ______ living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other forsafety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.One majorproblem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy forthem to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.【单选题】
A.necessary
B.normal
C.difficult
D.good
正确答案:C
答案解析:第三段第一句是本段的主题句,意思是:有时候不利条件也会产生有利的因素。接着应是具体说明。空格所在句的大概意思是:当工人们不得不彼此依赖以寻求安全和心理安慰时,大家的友谊随之增深了。这是一种得到补偿的有利的东西,那么空格应填入的最合适的词显然是difficult(困难)。necessary:必需的;normal:正常的;good:好的。将这些选项填人后,句子前半部分表达的不是不利的因素,而是有利的因素,跟主题句不能构成连贯的语段。
5、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent ____ 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented orby whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. and so it does today. The origins 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, orblacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the body . On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes played at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】
A.music
B.songs
C.melodies
D.tunes
正确答案:A
答案解析:当时美国还没有明显属于自己的音乐,其他三个选项的词义都十分具体,美国不可能没有。
