The horror of what she had seen at such close quarters, and the unusual circumstances, made her feel paralysed. Some immediate action was necessary-but what?The do

33、lector came in89 The men and women of Anglo-Saxon England normally bore one name only. Distinguishing epithets were rarely added. These might be patronymic, descriptive or occupational. They were, however, hardly surnames. Heritable names gradually became general in the three centuries following the
34、 Norman Conquest in 1066. It was not until the 13th and 14th centuries that surnames became fixed, although for many years after that, the degree of stability in family names varied considerably in different parts of the country.British surnames fall mainly into four broad categories: patronymic, oc
35、cupational, descriptive and local. A few names, it is true, will remain puzzling: foreign names, perhaps, crudely translated, adapted or abbreviated; or artificial names.In fact, over fifty percent of genuine British surnames derive from place names of different kinds, and so they belong to the last
36、 of our four main categories. Even such a name as Simpson may belong to this last group, and not to the first, had the family once had its home in the ancient village of that name. Otherwise, Simpson means “the son of Simon“, as might be expected.Hundreds of occupational surnames are at once familia
37、r to us, or at least recognizable after a little thought: Arther, Carter, Fisher, Mason, Thatcher, Taylor, to name but a few. Hundreds of others are more obscure in their meanings and testify to the amazing specialization in medieval arts, crafts and functions. Such are “Day“, (Old English for bread
38、maker) and “Walker“ (a fuller whose job was to clean and thicken newly, made cloth).All these vocational names carry with them a certain gravity and dignity, which descriptive names often lack. Some, it is true, like “Long“, “Short“ or “Little“, are simple. They may be taken quite literally. Others
39、require more thinking: their meanings are slightly different from the modern ones. “Black“ and. “White“ implied dark and fair respectively. “Sharp“ meant genuinely discerning, alert, acute rather than quick-witted or clever.Place-names have a lasting interest since there is hardly a town or village
40、in all England that has not at some time given its name to a family. They may be picturesque, even poetical; or they may be pedestrian, even trivial. Among the commoner names which survive with relatively little change from old-English times are “Mil ton“ (middle enclosure) and “Hilton“ (enclosure o
41、n a hill). 90 Surnames are said to be _ in Anglo-Saxon England.（A）common（B） vocational（C） unusual（D）descriptive91 We learn from the first paragraph that _ for many years after the 13th and 14th centuries.（A）family names became descriptive and occupational（B） people in some areas still had no surname
42、s（C） some people kept changing their surnames（D）all family names fixed in England92 The underlined word “patronymic“ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “formed from _.（A）the name of ones father（B） the family occupation（C） ones family home（D）ones family history93 Which of the following
43、sentences is an opinion rather than a fact?（A）Hundreds of occupational names are at once familiar to us.（B） Black and “White“ implied “dark“ and “fair“ respectively.（C） Vocational names carry with them a certain gravity and dignity.（D）Every place in England has given its name to a family.93 Some of
44、todays most cutting-edge technology is now being used to help students with special needs. No longer just the province of games for “video needs“, virtual reality has come into its own as a tool for special education teachers and therapists. As such, it is used for assessment, teaching, and practice
45、, according to Skip Rizzo, research assistant professor at the University of Southern California.For example, virtual reality has been used effectively to assess students depth perception, with the results being quite different from those obtained from traditional paper and pencil tests. It is also
46、used to help students gain transition skills. Students with autism or developmental delay can visit a virtual supermarket, take public transportation, cross the street, or organize his or her day. Students in wheelchairs can learn how to navigate buildings And the beauty is, these students can make
47、any number of mistakes without endangering themselves.In fact, one of the biggest virtues of virtual reality is that it allows students to learn in a safe environment, and this holds true for students with behavior disorders. After a student has learned an appropriate behavior or way of controlling
48、his or her anger, the student is put in progressively more difficult virtual social situations where he or she can practice the new technique. And it is expected that future teachers will be exposed to virtual classes, complete with “difficult students“ to help them master behavior management techni
49、ques.Virtual reality even allows us to tailor the world to meet a childs needs. Lets say were teaching a child to cross the street by paying attention to traffic signs. Educators have found that it is often difficult for the child to locate the traffic sign in a busy environment. With virtual reality, we can blo
