All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone’s mind. In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot make a product and, in fact, be buying something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is. In the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations （联系）.The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong. When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image（形象）in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word —which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names. These companies can charge （要价）up to $100,000 a word for their creations. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development. 1. Why are trade names protected by law in many countries? A. To make companies pay for naming service. B. To help people choose the best products C. To present good images of the products. D. To prevent good images from being copied 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale C. The government often does business with naming companies D. It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals 3. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Business of Names B. The Development of Names C. The Rules of Naming Business D. The Methods of Choosing Names 七 缺词填空 Fleeting was a poor f 1 .

In the very beginning, the cleverest among them thought of using stones and seashells. Then, around the 2nd century B. C. , they invented the abacus. Some researchers consider the invention to be the world's oldest "calculator". In China, people used abacuses to do calculations for thousands of years. The abacus is usually made of wood.It has many beads (珠子). Each rod (竿)stands for a different digit (数位). The rightmost is ones, the second is tens, the third is hundreds, and so on. Each bead in the central area has a value. In the past, the use of the abacus was taught in all schools. It was considered to be an important skill that everybody needed to pick up. Wherever there was a need for calculations, an abacus would come into sight. Today, abacuses are no longer widely used. Perhaps you have never seen one. However, we can still feel the important roles they once played. Abacuses have become a symbol. Because they used to be a must-have for business people, some have come to believe that abacuses can help their owners gather wealth. 31. According to the passage what are the world's earliest “calculators"? A. Stones. B. Seashells. C. Abacuses. D.Beads. 32. Which number does the picture in the passage stand for? A.3781. B.1873. C.1433. D.5423. 33. By writing this passage, the author mainly wanted to A. introduce the abacus to people B. teach people how to use the abacus C. try to make the abacus popular again D. explore why the abacus is no longer popular 小题提优(Grammar) 一、单项选择 ( )1.—Have you _______been to Hong Kong?

Within 10 years,supermarkets were springing up all over Britain.People could find one almost anywhere.The first one-stop supermarket opened in Nottinghamshire,England,in 1964.It had 50departments and sold everything under one roof.Around 30,000 people and 1,000 cars turned upon its opening weekend,causing traffic jams(交通堵塞).Today,9 out of 10 people buy things from supermarkets. Supermarkets are using technology to make shopping easier.Some supermarkets use cameras and shelves to see and weigh what people buy.In the USA,“smart trolleys”scan(扫描)objects when they are dropped in and make it easy for customers to find things.Engineers in Hong Kong have designed self-driving trolleys.Supermarkets are looking for smarter ways to send things too.Coles Supermarket in Australia uses drones(无人机)to fly things to customers' doors.

They had breakfast in the morning, a big lunch at noon, and a happy supper in the evening.      But these days, both men and women in big cities have to work on weekdays. They often eat breakfast in a hurry —sometimes at home; sometimes in their offices. They usually have bread, eggs, milk or porridge. Most people don’t have enough time to enjoy their lunch at home, so take-away food is very popular. Working people often get a quick lunch near their working places.      After a day of hard work, many people want a big supper. So everybody tries to get home to stay with his or her family. Wives often cook meat, fish, chicken, vegetables and rice. You can also find dumplings and noodles on the table in most families in the north of China. 31.

Because they like take-away food better than home cooking.      C. Because they want to lose weight by eating little. D. Because they have to work. They don’t have enough time for a big lunch. 32.

Then I heard a noise below.I looked down,and parked right below me were two trucks.There were four men standing around talking,and I almost called down to them,“I'm sorry,but you can't park there...That's a bus stop!”Just at that time,one of the men reached into the back of a truck and started taking out tools.Gloves.Ropes.A chain.And then chain saws(电锯).Three chain saws.Then one of the kids who rides the bus showed up and started talking to them,and pretty soon he was pointing up at me. One of the men called,“Hey!You'd better come down from there.We’re going to take this thing down.” I held on to the tree tightly(牢固地),because suddenly it felt as though I might fall.I managed to cry out,“The tree?” “Yeah,now come on down.”“But who told you to cut it down?”“The owner!”he called back.“But why?”“Because he's going to build himself a house,and this tree is in the way.Now come on,girl,we've got work to do!” By that time most of the kids had gathered for the bus.They weren't saying anything to me,just looking up at me and turning from time to time to talk to each other.My heart was crazy with fear.I couldn’t leave and let them cut down the tree!I cried,“You can’t cut it down!You just can't!” One of the men shook his head and said,“I am this close to calling the police.Now are you going to come down or are we going to cut you down?” The bus was three blocks away.I'd never missed school for any reason other than illness,but I knew in my heart that this time was different.“You're going to have to cut me down!”I cried.Then I had an idea.They'd never cut it down if all of us were in the tree."Hey,guys!”I called to my classmates.“Get up here with me!They can’t cut it down if we're all up here!” One by one,the kids just shook their heads and got on the bus.

In one video,Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion(755—763).In another,Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles,like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry(枸杞)water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people,such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu.I didn't know much about their stories before,”said Wang Jiayi,15from Shandong. The new trend(趋势)isn’t for everyone,however.The way these ancient people speak,in high sounds and always asking questions,annoys some people.“They're too eye-catching,which is different from how they really were,"explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen,14,from Hubei,felt the same.But he was surprised to find that he“remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements”thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people“speak for themselves”.However,“we should be careful with these videos,making sure they are not sharing fake(假的)information,”noted Nanfang Daily.

D.Copy the way the ancient people speak. D I used to be part of the group of“no phone calls allowed”,but now I'm used to turning on my phone's ring.Some of my friends usually call me at night.Then come anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours of conversations that include everything from pop culture and our days at work to our friends.It's like being transported back to high school in the 1990s,where you would call your classmates secretly at night.When it's finally time to end these conversations,with a silly smile on my face,I’m ready to sleep. Why do these feelings come with a phone call,but not with a night of texting or messaging?It might be because in our culture of busyness,someone taking time out to have a needless iphone conversation means they're saying“You matter to me”.Neuro scientist Dr Lila Landowski says,“When we talk to people we care about—whether in person or over the phone—our brain(脑)produces oxytocin.Oxytocin is responsible for(对……负责)it hat feeling of being close 'to someone.And it also makes us feel better by cutting down the levels of stress hormones(应激激素)in our body.Text messaging doesn't seem to have similar influences(影响).” But people born after 1988 seldom answer their phones.Growing up with mobile phones and messaging,they believe a phone call means less time to think about how to reply,more possibility of hurting another person,and of course more awkward silence. Yet it would seem that those who avoid the phone call are missing out.Professor Barbara Keyssays research has shown that phone calls make people feel wanted,needed,included and involved.That's certainly the case for me.I no longer see a night at home as a boring time to be filled with a TV show I'′m only half-interested in.Tonight,a phone call means I'll find something new about someone I care about,and laugh at least three times,878 1 ( )42.What do we know about the writer in Paragraph 1?00banla 350418ci alqo39 A.He calls others only when needed.

Therefore,it has been believed that these two cities would certainly make an amazing show when getting together.These years,the Chinese government has made the“Outline of the Construction Plan for the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle”、This is a policy that guides the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. What kind of future shall we be expecting with the policy?There's no doubt that there will be many chances for both Chengdu and Chongqing.The two cities are cooperating(合作)in many important fields.For example,the Chengdu-Chongqing mid-line high-speed rail and the Western Science City are being built.The two will also work together to protect the environment.The media of the two are getting closer as well. 56.How do people describe Chengdu and Chongqing? 57.When did Ba and Shu belong to different areas? 58.To have a better future,what should Chengdu and Chongqing do? 59.What will happen if the two cities cooperate? 60.Do you want to find a job in Chongqing when you finish university?Why or why not? 六、缺词填空(每小题1分，满分10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在短文下方的横线处填人适当的词使短文完整。(每空一词) Shanghai's Huanghe Road was famous for its many expensive restaurants and hotels.It was i__61__ for the poor to eat there.But things c__62__ in the mid-1990s.The big and bright signs were taken down because of new safety rules.Then,financial(财政的)problems in Asia in 2003made many restaurants closed.
