(Text 10)
How do people name their children?Different countries have different ways to name their children.Let’s take a look at a few.
In Spain,a child usually has two given names and two surnames.The first surname is the same as the father’s first surname,and the second is the mother’s first surname.The given names may be the same as a grandparent’s.
In Nigeria,children’s names are chosen by family elders.The children’s parents wait for names from the grandparents and other important family members.These names describe the day of the baby’s birth.The baby’s name is announced at a party on the eighth day after the child’s birth.
In Turkey,babies are often named according to the time of their birth.For example,if a child was born in spring,the chosen name might be Bahar.It means spring.A baby born during bad weather might be named Tufan.It means storm.

A
Gifts for 7-Year-Old Boys
Need a gift for a 7-year-old boy in your life? Here are some great ones.
Pet Tornado
If you’re looking for an inexpensive yet exciting little gift,this Pet Tornado fits the bill.When kids get it,they always become excited and have all kinds of questions.This little gift helps them form a safe tornado right in their own hands.Simply turn the plastic container and something amazing happens.
It also comes with information about real-life tornadoes,their wind speeds and the level of damage they do,so it’s educational,too.
Spikeball 3 Ball Game Set
This special,active game came from the hit show Shark Tank.While it’s perfect for 7-year-old boys,it’s also great for the entire family.The set comes with three balls and a changeable net.The rules are similar to those of volleyball,but instead of hitting the ball over the net,you hit the ball at the net.Each team of two gets three hits to spike(扣球) the ball into the net,and the first team to get 21 wins.Of course,that’s just one way of playing.Kids are likely to come up with all kinds of ways to play.
Spooner Board
The Spooner Board can prepare kids for future skateboarding,surfing and snowboarding.It’s a piece of plastic that’s been curved(使弯曲) and shaped into a board that moves across on nearly any surface.Children can do many tricks with it.No waves or snow necessary,but it can be used indoors or outdoors on almost any surface if you wish.
Schools use it for PE because it’s such a great form of exercise.It is perfect for beginners but it can cost about 500 pounds.After all,it can also be used for many years.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal(信号).Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a cup of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

Millions of people suffer from motion sickness(晕动症).They have a lot of activities they fear.They often avoid doing these activities which include long-distance airplane travel,sea trips,road trips,even certain movies and video games.However,the French company Boarding Ring promises that it has its way to solve the problem,as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses!
Why do many people suffer from motion sickness?It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts.For example,when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus,your inner ear realizes the move but your eyes,focused on the screen,think you don’t move.
Boarding Glasses tries to ease(减轻)motion sickness by making the user’s eyes and inner ear transmit the same message.After the brain receives the same message,it will think you are in a moving environment.Though that sounds difficult,the science behind the glasses is surprisingly simple.
The plastic frames(框架),made up of two round frames on the front and two on the side,are filled with some blue liquid.Any movement can cause the liquid to flow around the eyes.This allows the eyes to sense the move and send the correct signal to the brain.
According to Antoine Jeannin,CEO of Boarding Ring,Boarding Glasses has been tested.The CEO said that over 95 percent of the users felt better after wearing the glasses.The best part is that Boarding Glasses only has a frame,so a single pair can be worn among a group of friends,or even an entire family!

B.Their bodies are in a bad condition.
C.Their ears can’t hear in a moving environment.
D.Their brains can’t deal with mixed signals from body parts.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Why do many people suffer from motion sickness?It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts.”可知,人们认为许多人之所以患有晕动症是因为大脑无法处理来自身体各部分的混合信号。因此大脑不能很好地处理来自身体各部分的复杂的信号将会导致晕动症,故选D项。
29.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The shortcomings of Boarding Glasses.
B.The design for Boarding Glasses’ future.
C.The working principle of Boarding Glasses.
D.The response of people wearing Boarding Glasses.
√
段落大意题。根据第三段中的“Boarding Glasses tries to ease(减轻) motion sickness by making the user’s eyes and inner ear transmit the same message.After the brain receives the same message,it will think you are in a moving environment.”可推知,本段主要介绍了这款眼镜的工作原理,故选C项。
30.Which word can best replace the underlined word “transmit” in Paragraph 3?
A.Calm. B.Send.
C.Destroy. D.Attack.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词后句中的receives(收到)可知,画线词transmit意为“传送”。calm使镇静;send发送;destroy破坏;attack攻击。故选B项。
31.What might be the best title of the passage?
A.Boarding Glasses Promises to Ease Motion Sickness
B.Why Do People Dislike Motion Sickness
C.Why Do People Suffer from Motion Sickness

Online games are very popular among people.They make a large amount of money and have a large user base,including lots of teenagers.But now,new rules on online games have been introduced,which are aimed at fighting against addiction (成瘾) among underage players.
Adult players need to spend most of their time paying attention to work and family,and cannot play games as often as they want.However,underage players have more spare time,but less responsibility and self-control.Children without a clear purpose in life,where there is less family education and school management,might easily become addicted to all kinds of online games and online novels.
The most direct impact of an addiction to online games among underage players is on their psychological (心理的) health.According to psychologists,people seriously addicted to games can become anxious,bad-tempered,and avoid responsibility.
However,Chinese parents are more worried that their children will lack interest in studying if they become addicted to online games,as academic success is important for students.Additionally,when their children become addicted to such games,most parents do not know how to deal with the situation.
To carry out the new rules to the best effect,more specific issues need to be solved,such as managing foreign online games,ensuring that facial recognition technologies used by game companies have the wanted effect or making sure online game providers can only offer one-hour services to underage players on Saturdays and Sundays.While there are always loopholes (漏洞) in new rules,authorities should act quickly to close them.
There is no doubt that online games have harmful effects on young people.It is not acceptable for a large number of teenagers or those even younger,to become addicted to these games.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了一项针对网络游戏的新规定已经出台,旨在打击未成年玩家的网瘾。
32.What’s the purpose of the new rules on online games?
A.To raise awareness of Internet safety.
B.To bring in new computer programs.
C.To reduce the grown-up user base.
D.To prevent the teenagers’ addiction.
√
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句(但现在,新的网络游戏规定已经出台,旨在打击未成年玩家的网瘾)可知,新的网络游戏规定的出台是为了打击未成年玩家的网瘾,由此推知,其目的应是防止未成年人对网络游戏上瘾。故选D。
33.Why are underage players addicted to online games more easily?
A.They can learn more knowledge on the Internet.
B.They have more free time and less self-control.
C.They have purposes in life but lack higher education.
D.They maintain a sense of curiosity about the Internet.
√
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句(然而,未成年玩家有更多的业余时间,但责任心和自控力却更少。)可知,未成年玩家业余时间多,责任心和自控力却不足,这是他们容易沉迷于网络的原因。故选B。
34.What problem has to be solved to ensure the effect of the new rules?
A.How to reduce parents’ anxiety about kids’ study.
B.How to find loopholes in the popular online games.
C.How to control the service time of online game providers.
D.How to invent a facial recognition game for young players.
√
细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句(为了使新规定发挥最佳效果,需要解决更具体的问题,例如管理外国在线游戏,确保游戏公司使用的面部识别技术具有预期效果,或者确保在线游戏提供商在周六和周日只能为未成年玩家提供一小时的服务。)可知,如何控制网络游戏提供商的服务时间是确保新规定的效果必须解决的问题之一。故选C。
35.What is the author’s attitude to the new rules?
A.Confused. B.Negative.
C.Supportive. D.Uninterested.
√
观点态度题。根据文章第五段末尾句(尽管新规定总是有漏洞,但有关部门应该迅速采取行动来填补这些漏洞。)可知,在作者看来,这项新规定虽然有漏洞,但是还是可以采取措施弥补的。由此可推知,对于这项新规定,作者是支持的。故选C。

When you open a dictionary,you often come across a lot of unfamiliar words. 36 . But many of them are formed using other simpler words.This is called word formation.
Words formed by combining(合并) other words are called compounds,for example,“penfriend” and “well-known”.
Prefixes and suffixes often have fixed meanings.If you add un- or in- to a word,the new word usually means the opposite. 37 Words with the suffixes-ment and-ness are often nouns.For example,if somebody has improved a lot,they have made great improvement.
38 When we calm somebody down,they become calm.And we can give someone a present by presenting it.
And sometimes a word is made up of the first letters of several words:“World Trade Organization” can be referred to as WTO. 39 .
It is impossible to know the meaning of every word. 40 .
A.You might think this is a bit frightening.
B.And ASAP is short for “as soon as possible”.
C.For example,if something isn’t correct,it’s incorrect.
D.And “face to face” is written as “F2F” for short in text messages.

are becoming increasingly popular in China.However,it is vital for us to use them wisely.
These platforms make it more convenient for users to shop,work and entertain in cyberspace.For another,online platforms are like a double-edged sword.While they get us informed instantly,they are also flooded with misinformation and twisted messages.Last but not least,cyber criminals are likely to take advantage of the footprints we have left on the platforms to commit crimes.
Therefore,keep aware of their drawbacks and potential dangers when we enjoy the platform’s convenience and benefits.
第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer,when my family had a road trip to Montana,we arrived in Great Falls late one night.The kids had fallen asleep in the car,so my husband went and checked in the hotel while I stayed with the kids.When he returned with the room keys,we woke up our children and took them out of the car,through the hotel,up the elevators and into our guest room.We kept the room dark,leaving only the entry light on,and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they’d drift back to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the minifridge only to notice some beers.“That’s strange,”he said and I agreed,but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn’t think much about it.I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it.In the meantime,my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.As I washed my face,I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash.I felt my heart begin to pound.We were in someone else’s room!
Now feeling panic,I checked the closet.Nothing.I then went to the dresser drawers.Nothing.My eyes scanned the door room’s floor and there it was:A black bag that looked like one of ours.But it wasn’t!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an “Oh,my God! This is not good!”
By now the kids were wide awake,jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase.Just while we were packing our things,I heard someone was unlocking the door,which made my heart beat wildly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The door opened and in came a young man._________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath._____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After seeing us packing our things into our suitcase,he was shocked and angry.I tried to explain what had happened.However,he wouldn’t listen to me.He talked with me in a loud voice,making my kids frightened.The kids began to cry.Just at that time my husband returned,with some things bought from the store in his hands.Thinking the young man was unfriendly,he started to quarrel with him.
Watching the waitress,all of us stopped talking.She explained that her mother became badly ill last night,which contributed to her fault.After explaining the reason to us,the waitress burst into tears.The young man,my husband and I,even my kids,tried to comfort the waitress.We said sorry to each other.The special experience in someone else’s room made me realize forgiveness is a kind of virtue.
