阅读理解。     In many countries, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially when more and
more stars give their children special names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like except
dirty words.
     Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. Because of the film the Lord of the Rings
(指环王), six boys were named Gandalf. Names about sport are very common, too. Since 1984, 36 children
have been called Arsenal after the football team.
     Other parents like to make up names, or combine (合并) two names to make a special one. A mother in
Britain invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two
grandmothers).
     In China, there are some rules about names ―- you can"t use foreign letters or symbols (符号) in a Chinese
name. For example, parents are not allowed to name their baby @. In New Zealand, a name beginning with a
number is not allowed. Other countries have stricter rules about calling children. For example, Japan,
Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names. Parents must choose the names in the lists for
their children.
     In Britain, some old-fashioned (过时的) names have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl,
and Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are very
traditional--Jack and Thomas for boys, or Grace and Jessica for girls. 1. In Britain, people can"t use ______ words in their children"s names. A. strange
B. popular
C. old-fashioned
D. dirty 2. Thirty-six children were called Arsenal because of a ______. A. movie star
B. football star
C. football team
D. film 3. According to the passage, which of the following names is NOT allowed? A. Gandulf in Britain
B. Tiaarnii in Britain
C.李@in China
D. Real in New Zealand 4. In ______, people must name their children according to the list. A. Japan
B. Britain
C. America
D. China 5. From the last paragraph (段落), we know ______ today. A. you can name a girl Alfie in Britain
B. strange names are the most popular in Britain
C. people don"t use old names in Britain
D. the most popular names are the traditional names in Britain

阅读理解。     Is the world too crowded? Well, that"s a hard question to answer. It"s all a matter of perspective (视角).
In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000
people live in every square mile!
     What is true is that the world"s population doesn"t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate
(比例). That"s in part because in each generation (代) these are more people who then have children than in
the last generation.
     Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world"s population
was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth
continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now
that"s a whole lot of people! Soon the world"s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry
about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals (相当于) too many
people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to feed,
house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the
earth"s resources. 1. From the first paragraph we can know that _____. A. Montana is too crowded
B. Macao is too crowded
C. the world is too crowded
D. the world is not too crowded 2. The population is increasing fast partly because _____. A. people live longer than before
B. there are less wars than before
C. medicine is developing faster than before
D. more couples now would like to have children than before 3. What was the world"s population 100 years ago? A. 450 million.
B. About 2 billion.
C. 40 billion.
D. 7 billion. 4. The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should _____. A. find more resources
B. use more resources
C. think about our ways of living
D. move to other places 5. From the passage we can learn that the writer _____. A. thinks the world already has too many people
B. thinks the world can feed no more than 7 billion people
C. is not sure when the world"s population will reach 7 billion
D. is not sure what the largest population that the world can feed is

     In the past, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different in
many ways-the buildings, the food, the national dresses and so on. At present, however, one large city is
similar to another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald"s,
their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of
office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands (品牌) of Japanese or European cars.
     Then what is the foreign travel for? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they
cannot experience at home? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation"s
history and culture that are the main attractions. Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries
history and cultures used to be like, not what they arc like today. Tourists try to learn the history and culture
of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums.
     Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. Their own special scenery (风景:)
would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
     Finally, there is perhaps a country"s attraction; its people. A country is not just its old buildings, its works
of art (艺术品) or beautiful places, it"s also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand
attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness (友好) of the people there.
It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. The friendly, smiling people make visitors feel welcome.

     Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems
of teenagers.
     They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have
lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. They don"t have their
own time to do what they are interested in. Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted (近视).
They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about
playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV Another serious problem among teenagers
is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food, but they take little exercise.
     I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems. They should make a plan for study and
hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.
