阅读理解。    Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names?
There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier
for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual
name because he wants to be different.
    People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other
famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary (普通的), or
that have special sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents
gave them when they were born.
    Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and
want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he
moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and
Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their
new country.
    In many countries, a woman changes her family name (姓) to her husband"s after she gets married
(结婚). But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using their husbands".
Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations (情况) and their husband"s in other situations.
And some use both their own names and their husbands". 1. Hanna changes her name to Anne because "Anne" is ______ for people to remember. [     ]

阅读短文,回答问题。        If you are a member of a social networking (社交的) website such as QQ, Kaixin, MySpace or Facebook,
you can add a new friend by sending someone a friend request (请求). If you later fall out with that person,
what do you do? You can hit the "unfriend" button (操作框) and remove (移走) him or her from your friend list. That means you won"t talk, exchange information, or see each other"s updates (更新) on the website any more.
       That is a quick way to solve problems, isn"t it? In fact, "unfriend" is often used on social networking
websites. It has become so popular that Oxford University Press recently chose it as the 2009 word of the year.
       Experts at Oxford University Press look at how the words of the English language change from year to
year. They choose words that are popular and have important cultural meanings. 
       Christine Lindberg, editor for Oxford"s dictionary program, said the word "unfriend" is popular now and
may stay popular for a long time. People understand its meaning in the online social networking context
(上下文), and also accept it as a modern verb. So it makes an interesting choice for the Word of the Year. 
       How to use the word? You can say "I decided to unfriend my roommate on Facebook after we had a fight"
or "I unfriended Alice on MySpace when she said something bad to me."1. How many social networking websites are mentioned? [     ]

阅读短文,回答问题。       If you are in a town in western country, you"ll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a
dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened
to him and did what he told to. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs did not eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens.
       But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight against other animals. Of course they
keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a
dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn"t
have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people
do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family. 1. ____ are more useful than a dog in the world. [     ]
A. No other animals
B. Some animals
C. Many animals
D. Few animals 2. In the past people kept dogs because dogs ____. [     ]
A. could fight
B. met the people

A. fight against other animals
B. are lonely

D. are afraid of the thieves 4. A dog can be ____. [     ]
A. a child"s friend only
B. a young woman"s son

    Today we find that school students hardly spend much time on sports. Is it because they aren"t interested
in sports? No, they often say they have other more important things to do.
     What are these important things? Examinations! They have to spend much time on all kinds of examinations
at school. So many of them almost become bookworms (书呆子). Books stop them from going out for sports.
Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of
their time on books. As for the students, they want to get good results so that they can improve their studies.
So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.
    In fact, education (教育) can"t go without physical (身体的) exercises, because a quick mind hardly goes
along with a weak body. If you don"t have a strong (强壮的) body, you can never get anything or any great
success in your life.
1. Because of ______, the school students can"t spend much time on sports.
[     ]
A. no interest
B. examinations
C. education
D. exercise
2. The word "pressure" means ______.
[     ]
A. 幸福
B. 压力
C. 好办法
D. 深深的爱
3. If you don"t have a ______, you can never get anything.
[     ]
A. good father
B. strong body
C. weak body
D. good face.
4. The writer means the students should ______.
[     ]
A. work all day and all night
B. not play sports
C. have all kinds of sports after studying
D. spend the free time on the studies and give up the sports
5. Which of the following is wrong?
[     ]
A. The students don"t go out for sports because of their parents.
B. The students stop their school sports because they are busy with their studies and examinations.
C. Without a strong body one can"t get a great success in life.
D. Education also depends on physical exercises.
