When Western parents are expected a baby, they start to think long and hardly about what they will name their child. The child will have to live with a name for their whole life after all.

Some parents seem focus on finding a name that is distinctive, a name that everybody likes it and nobody else uses. Also, sometimes it goes horribly wrong. One musician named his child Audio Science, while other couple named their kid Pirate. Recently, some parents in the US and Europe have gone as far as pay someone to come up with a name for them. Some companies charge a couple hundred dollars, and one Swiss company charges about $ 30,000 think of a unique name that has never been used before.

【答案】1. expected→expecting

2. hardly→hard

3. a→the/that

4. focus→focused

5.去掉 everybody likes后的it

6. Also→However

7. other→another

8. pay→paying

9. and→but

10. think前∧to

【解析】文章主要讲述了西方父母想要给孩子取一个独一无二的名字,他们甚至花钱请人给孩子取名字。

考查现在进行时表将来。句意:当西方父母等待孩子降生时。根据下文“what they will name their child”他们将要给孩子起什么名字。可知西方父母在等待、期待中。用现在进行时表将来。故将expected改为expecting。

考查形容词句意:他们开始认真思考他们将给孩子起什么名字。hard努力的,hardly几乎不根据题意故将hardly改为hard。

考查定冠词句意:毕竟,这个孩子一生都将用这个名字。上文中提到“name”,下文中再次出现,应为特指,故将不定冠词a改为定冠词the。

考查过去分词。句意:有些父母似乎专注于寻找一个与众不同的名字。seem为系动词,其后使用动词的过去分词。故将focus改为focused。

考查定语从句句意一个人人都喜欢却无人使用的名字。that引导定语从句,that在从句中充当宾语,故将it去掉。

考查副词句意然而,有时它是可怕的错误。根据上下句理解,为转折关系,故将also改为however。

考查不定代词句意而另一位则给他们的孩子取名为“海盗”。another指不定数目中的“另一个,又一个(三个以上)”,用来代替或修饰单数可数名词;other意思是“另外的,其他的”修饰复数名词。故将other改为another。

考查非谓语动词句意最近,美国和欧洲的一些父母甚至花钱请人给他们取个名字。根据“asas”结构中,第一个as为副词,其后加形容词或副词,第二个as为连词,其后加名词或从句。因some parents与动词pay为主谓关系,故使用动名词作状语。故将pay改为paying。

考查连词句意有些公司收取几百美元,但一家瑞士公司要想一个从未使用过的独一无二的名字,收费约为30000美元。根据上下句理解,为转折关系,故将and改为but。

考查动词不定式作状语句意有些公司收取几百美元,但一家瑞士公司要想一个从未使用过的独一无二的名字,收费约为30000美元。动词不定式表目的。索价$ 30,000目的是为了取一个独一无二的名字。故在think之前填加to。

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How northern Europeans beat the winter blues

Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures—one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine—and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.

Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. __【1】___In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings. ___2__ A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood(情绪), and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). __3__

AniKalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brain’s response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. ___4__It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun. ____5_”

A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”

A. Yet that link has no scientific basis.

B. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.

C. It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year.

D. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.

E. That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.

F. Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.

G. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.
