26、Mostly, only a single answer is correct to a question. But there is a question that has numberless correct answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?.

People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the names of a grandparent or other members of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, Smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.

The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village. the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac- or Mc- or O-. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

【1】Which of the following is NOT covered in the surnames of the passage?

A. People’s occupations.   B. People’s characters.

C. Places where people lived.   D. Talents that people possessed.

【2】According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably________.

A. made kitchen tools or containers.(容器）   B. made things with metals

C. owned or drove a cart   D. built houses and furniture

【3】Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named______.

A. Beatrice Smith   B. Leonard Carter

C. Donald Greenwood   D. George Longstreet

【4】The underlined word “descendants”.in the last paragraph means a person’s_______.

A. ancestors (  祖先  ）   B. later generations

C. friends and relatives   D. colleagues and partners

27、Should Schoolchildren Have Jobs?

When you were in school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket.

Today in the UK children are allowed to take part-time jobs from the age of 13. It’s one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）. It’s a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money.

Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday jab could be harmful to a person later on. According to a 2017 study in the UK, employers’ organizations believed that not participating in part-time work at school age caused young adults to be ill-prepared for full-time employment. But despite this, recent numbers have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts think that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly controlled part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people.” Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?

【1】Employers believe if young adults don’t participate in part-time work at school age, ________.

A．they can’t work on their own

B．they can’t manage their money wisely

C．they won’t be well-prepared for the job

D．they won’t know how to work with others

【2】According to some experts, ________ has caused fewer schoolchildren to do a par-time job in the past years.

A．more time to rest

B．having enough money

C．being afraid of hard work

D．more pressure from school

【3】According to the passage, taking on a part-time job can help young people ________.

A．have a chance to see the world and meet more friends

B．understand their parents and grow up more quickly

C．learn skills and be confident to talk to people

D．get better grades and perform well in school

28、   On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.

Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Like her mother and her grandmother before her," mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.

Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard, She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons, Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.

I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn't need to lecture. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.

I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet， it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.

Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately, wanted to share with my mom.

【1】Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?

A. Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.

B. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.

C. To stress that all the, older women in her family are environmentalists.

D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother S Day.

【2】We can infer from the text that   .

A. the author s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard

B. the author 'S mother used to lecture her to protect the environment

C. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well

D. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life

【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. The author is proud of her sweet tomatoes.

B. The author really appreciates her mother's teaching.

C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.

D. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.

【4】The writer's attitude towards her mom's behavior changed in the order of   .

A. negative— understanding —supportive B. supportive— doubtful—negative

C. understanding —critical—supportive D. doubtful—critical— positive

29、What is the best sport for your body type?

Just because someone has dreamt of playing football from childhood does not mean it is the best sport for him or her. Finding the sport your body is best suited to can make a big difference to how much you enjoy it and how good at it you are.

A person with an ectomorph body type is tall and slim with little fat or muscle. This person has narrow shoulders and hips, and thin arms and legs. Ectomorphs have difficulty putting on weight because of a fast metabolism (新陈代谢). 【1】 . What suits ectomorphs is endurance sports. Marathon running, swimming, and football are excellent choices for them. 【2】 , basketball may also be a great option.

Mesomorph body types are the typical image of an athlete. Their arms and legs are muscular and they have broad shoulders and narrow hips. Mesomorphs can put on or lose weight easily and build muscle quickly. 【3】 . Possibilities range from weightlifting and boxing to cycling for shorter distances.

A person who is an endomorph naturally carries more body fat. They are often short, with a high waist, and well developed upper arms and thighs. 【4】 , they can be very good at power sports because of their larger mass. This body type is not suited for agility (敏捷) and speed, but strength activities like wresting or powerlifting can be a great fit.

It is important to note that the three body types are extremes. No one is 100% ectomorph or completely endomorph. 【5】 . Another key point is that diet and environment also contribute to athletic ability and genetics plays a large part. And the most important thing is to choose a sport you enjoy.

A．Everyone is a bit of a mix

B．If you want to be a world champion

C．If a person with this body type is very tall

D．A person with this body type has more choice of sports

E．For the same reason, it takes them longer to build muscle

F．While it may seem that an endomorph will not be very athletic

G．Endomorphs must work a little harder to maintain a perfect body weight
