分析 本文是一篇说明文,主要向我们说明了人们改名字的各种原因,有纯粹是个人原因而改名的,有由于难记而改名的,有出于营销目的而改名的,也有由于实用性而改名的等等.
解答 31-35:JAEKF
31.J;考查形容词辨析.根据前文"most people never change their names"大多数人人不会改变他们的名字,可知就算他们对自己的名字不满意,也不会改变名字.故此处填unhappy,故选J.
32.A;考查名词辨析.根据后文"However"可知有人会改变他们的名字,与前面的做法完全不同,action符合语境,故选A.
33.E;考查形容词辨析.根据后文关于智利的诺贝尔文学奖得主的举例,他由于不想让父亲知道他写的诗,所以改变了名字.可见他改名字纯粹是为了个人的原因.所以填personal
,故选E.
34.K;考查形容词辨析.根据后文以葡萄牙诗人Femando Pessoa的情况为例,说明了在其他时候,原因可能会显得怪异,weird符合语境,故选K.
35.F;考查形容词辨析.根据前句"The person's name is just too long and difficult to remember"人的名字太长,很难记住.可知本段主要讲的是普通的名字比长名字更容易记住.plain 此处被当作形容词,意为普通的.符合语境,故选F.
36-40:ICBGH
36.I;考查动词辨析.根据前文"Sometimes names are changed for marketing purpose."有时为了市场营销目的而改变名字.由下文的例子可知改变名字只是为了更好的获得市场的认可.所以空格处应填recognized,认可,故选I.
37.C;考查动词辨析.由上文可知为了更好的得到市场的认可也会改变名字,例如在电影中马丁•希恩采用了马丁辛的名字.adopted符合语境,故选C.
38.B;考查名词辨析.根据前文"Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire."可知艺术家有时会选择他们崇拜的人的名字.下面举例Robert Zimmerman改名的原因就是对威尔士诗人狄兰•托马斯的钦佩,admiration符合语境且与本段第一句话中的 admire相照应.故选B.
39.G;考查名词辨析.根据后文"in the past,women found it very difficult to become a well received writer.To avoid this situation,they sometimes gave themselves men's name"可知在过去,女性很难成为一个受欢迎的作家.为了避免这种情况,她们有时会给自己取男人的名字,它们改变名字是由于男性的名字比较实用,practicality符合语境,故选G.
40.H;考查动词辨析.由上文知在过去,女性很难成为一个受欢迎的作家.为了避免这种情况,她们有时会给自己取男人的名字.英国作家玛丽安安伊万斯改名后,她的书也出版了.published符合语境,故选H.
