17、，满分 40 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、 B、 C、 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it
18、 happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡 ) are named in order that the pi
19、oneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friend
20、ships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus - o
21、bviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语 ). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is
22、simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙 ) b
23、ecause it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 36. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _. A. the government is usually the first to name a place B. many places tend to have more than one name C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named D. people prefe
24、r the place names given by the government 37. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly. C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly. 38. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Raffles Place. B. Sel
25、ector Airbase. C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent. 39. Bras Basah Road is named _. A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape 40. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. B. Some places in Singapore are
26、 named for military purposes. C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers. B I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke(唤起 ) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple
27、 truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But
28、feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if every
29、thing is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识 )of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say
30、. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted
31、 as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translat
32、ion of her Chinese, her internal(内在的 ) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. 41. By

A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession 42. The author used to think of her mothers English as _. A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. pr

The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstand

In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day
41、each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre. Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on
42、it because they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.” Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many child
