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, ____ , 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 choose 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】

The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.

Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.【单选题】

4、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, ａｎｄ　the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson fｏｒthe National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, ａｎｄ　extramarital (婚外的) affairs will be even more common than now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的)? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based fｏｒyears partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands－as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well－paying jobs, this is no longer the case, So they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观的) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together ａｎｄ　don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage ｏｒdivorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. ａｎｄ　it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress ａｎｄ　its consequences, such as heart problems, ａｎｄ　married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage ａｎｄ　apply it to all of our relationships!Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today? ____【单选题】

A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.

B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.

C.American people marry more than four times.

D.More ａｎｄ　more people are getting divorced.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，B的干扰最大，但是原文提到的是almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now，所以B项里，more than half，夸大了原意，所以正确答案应该是D。

6、Money ｏｒFriendship ｏｒBoth1. Friends ａｎｄ　money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him ｏｒher some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship ａｎｄ　your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) ａｎｄ　some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money fｏｒemergency use ａｎｄ　you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favｏｒａｎｄ　say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stａｎｄ　saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s ａｎｄ　borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－ａｎｄ　it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), ａｎｄ　the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account ａｎｄ　I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two ｏｒthree times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money ｏｒis unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?Paragraph 4 ____【单选题】

A.Time to Break off a Friendship

B.Unconditional Assistance to Friends in Need

C.Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend

D.Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food

E.Strategies fｏｒBorrowing Money

F.Advantages of E - mail in Handling Money Issues

7、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 such 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, _____ 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.in

B.at

C.of

D.which

正确答案:C

答案解析:be tolerant后要求接介词of。

8、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts fｏｒLongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies ａｎｄ　are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there\'s no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s ａｎｄ　early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies fｏｒlonger may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams\' study showed that a modern woman\'s love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn\'t buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistbａｎｄ　of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 ａｎｄ　19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 ａｎｄ　27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 ａｎｄ　34, as those early relationships break down, ａｎｄ　new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee fｏｒthe very first time since school days at the age of42.Debenhams could most possibly be ____.【单选题】

A.a fashion magazine

B.a lifestyle association

C.an expert on trends

D.a department store

正确答案:D

答案解析:从第2段的第1句话可知，Debenhams是一个百货公司的名称。

9、Continuing Education1 People around the world agree that education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate students only fｏｒthe aim of educating them.

If they know more ｏｒlearn more, they can get a better job ｏｒearn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, ｏｒswimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes fｏｒfun ｏｒbecause the class will be useful fｏｒthem. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college ｏｒpublic school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings ｏｒchurches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, ａｎｄ　they are inexpensive.Paragraph 6 ____【单选题】
