But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “Whats

42、 your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.

43、 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”; Leona

44、rd 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 brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest. Other e

45、arly surnames came from peoples 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

46、 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 Carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or the

47、ir 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 was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast r

48、unner or a good dancer. Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the M

49、cDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell. 64 Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters. C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations. 65. According to the passage, the ancestors of t

50、he Potter family most probably _. A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or contains D. built houses and furniture66.

A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later sponsorsDOn November 11, Yasser Arafat died in a Paris hospital.

52、Regarded by most Palestinians as their father, the 75-year-olds body was taken to Cairo on November 12 for his funeral (葬礼). Failing to finish his lifelong goal of creating a state of Palestine, Arafat ended his legendary (传奇的) life with so much still to be done.Conflict started in 1948 when, with t

53、he help of the UN, a Jewish state, Israel was created on land where the Palestinians lived. Millions of Palestinians, who are Muslim, were driven from their homes. They began an often violent struggle to win their land back under their leader Arafat.Arafat said he was born in Jerusalem in 1929. He f

54、ormed the Fatah movement, which later carried out attacks against Israel. In 1969 he was elected chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Since then he has been the central leader in Palestine.But in the eyes of Israelis, he is a terrorist because of the bombings against them. “Ara

55、fat is the father of modern terrorism. He is directly responsible for the death of thousands of Israeli citizens,” said Cheshvan, an Israeli reporter.After years of fighting, Arafat came to believe that the only solution was peace talks. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his efforts to make p

56、eace. But, not all Palestinians agreed on the peaceful policy and so a new wave of violence started in 2000.As a great leader that cannot be easily replaced, Arafats death leaves Palestine with an uncertain future. A short-term leader Rawhi Fattouh has been chosen. But experts worry that different P

57、alestinian groups may now fight among themselves for power.68. The reason why the Israelis and Palestinians fought with each other is that _.A. Arafat created bombings in IsraelB.

59、nians followed ArafatC. Arafat has founded the state of PalestineD. there are fights between the PalestiniansENot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Th

60、ey often relive these experiences in nightmares (噩梦).Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of
