解析

  
本文是叙述Eskimos(爱斯基摩人)对新生婴儿起名字的故事。
1. B。根据空的前后意思，如果没有躯体、灵魂和名字就不“完整”。
2. C。从文章开头的 believed 一词可以得知上面提到的是一种“信仰”。
3. B。have a great effect on(对…有影响)是固定短语。
4. A。从前面 run 和后面的 through 可以得知，信仰像“金线”一样每天从他们的文化中“穿过”，line 不能指具体的“线”。
5. B。根据文章前后的意思，当生命开始时，要是“没有”能量，生命就不能继续，也就是说，有了能量，生命才能够继续。
6. A。根据文章开头的 believe 可得出答案。
7. B。表示相信名字是他们“自己的”生命。
8. D。根据常识，新生婴儿一出生就会“啼哭”。
9. D。从上下文的几个 it 可以得出答案。
10. C。根据句意，孩子生下来不久，几个老者就“聚集”在一起给孩子取“名字”可以判断出第10和11题两个答案。
11. A。根据第10题，答案不能选call，call是“喊某人的名字”，name 是“给某人取名字”。
12. B。根据后面的意思，名字必须在最近死了的人的名字中“选择”。
13. D。that 代替上文提到的名字。
14. A。根据现在完成时的时态 has died 来得出答案，recently与现在完成时连用。
15. C。从上文第3段最后一句可以得知答案，it 是指婴儿，不确定性别时使用。
16. D。根据时态，过去完成时中表示以前用before，而不用ago，ago用于一般过去时。
17. B。根据句意是同 Mequsaq 一样的眼睛。
18. C。根据后面的在战斗中“失去”了眼睛。
19. D。从下文表示从名字的精神来看可知名字被取是一种“标志”。
