An Indians name told the world what he was a coward, a l
18、iar, a thief, or a brave. When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their ow
19、n. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tr
20、ibal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he night be given a bad name. A man was given ninny chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indi
21、ans had as many as twelve names all good and each better than the last. All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked hi
22、m to de so. 36 When an Indian was old enough to earn money, his or her friends would give trim the _ name. （ A） Second （ B） Third （ C） Real （ D） Birth 37 The tribal name of an Indian was given by _. （ A） his parents （ B） his friends （ C） the chief （ D） the tribe 38 According to the article, an India

25、is sons. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limi
26、ted. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unles
27、s there is a big demand to justify them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materia
28、ls. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may
29、 be more complex. A de- creasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government
30、 of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. 41 The meaning of the word “inferior“ in the first paragraph is _. （ A） best （ B） bad （ C） big （ D） small 42 According to the first paragraph, a large population can provide
31、a chance to develop _. （ A） transport system （ B） agriculture （ C） national economy （ D） city construction 43 The word “it“ in the sentence “it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate“ refers to except _. （ A） space （ B） natural resources （ C） food （ D） population 4
32、4 In highly industrialized society, a decreasing birthrate may cause _. （ A） strike （ B） unemployment （ C） pollution （ D） chaos 45 Which of the following situations is the one the government of a developed country wanted? （ A） The pressure of population on housing declines. （ B） The building industr
33、y is weakened. （ C） An increasing population is stable or in decline. （ D） A slowly increasing population. Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
