Question

【题目】 One thing that most of us probably can agree on: just about every parent thinks that his or her kid is special. 【1】. Good intentions, however, do not often lead to good outcomes: people who particularly dislike their name-and also if other people think it's an odd (怪异的） and unlikeable name-tend not to be as well-adjusted.

【2】, maybe even something fairly significant, about your parents' religious or ethnic (种族的） background, their level of income or education, maybe even their politics. From what we can tell, your name is not your destiny (命运）. The story goes that two brothers in New York were named Loser and Winner by their parents. Loser turned out to have a great life as an upstanding citizen. He was a police detective. 【3】 .

Just think about it for a minute. 【4】 -your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making-to say nothing of luck.

Now, considering all of those heavyweight forces, how much could something as surface as a name really affect your life's outcome? 【5】 , it isn't that hard to change it.

A.Your life is determined by yourself

B.And Winner had been a career criminal

C.A name contains a rich set of information

D.Think about all the things that make you

E.It is true that your name may tell the world something

F.Plus which: if you really think your name is holding you back

G.And part of what makes each of our kids special is the names we give them

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】B

【4】D

【5】F

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。很多人的名字包含了美好的的寓意，但是名字并不能决定一个人的的命运。

【1】

前一句提到“我们大多数人可能都会同意一件事：差不多每个父母都认为他或她的孩子是特别的”，G项“让每个孩子与众不同的部分原因是我们给他们取的名字”承接上文，解释上一句中父母觉得孩子与众不同的原因，G项中“special”与上一句中的“special”呼应。故选G项。

【2】

空后一句“甚至是一些相当重要的事情，关于你父母的宗教或种族背景，他们的收入或教育水平，甚至可能是他们的政治立场”是举例说明名字中传达的信息，所以E项“的确，你的名字可能向世界表明一些事情”切题，且E项中“something”与空后一句中的“something”呼应，故选E项。

【3】

上文提出观点“your name is not your destiny(你的名字不是你的命运)”，接下来举了分别名为“Loser”和“Winner”的例子，空前一句提到“Loser结果作为一个正直的公民过着很好的生活。他是一个警察侦探”，由此推知空处应是说Winner的命运，所以B项“Winner成为一个职业罪犯”切题，与上文Loser的命运形成对比，印证上文的观点。故选B项。

【4】

空前提到“花一分钟的时间想想它”，D项中“Think about”与空前一句“think about”呼应，D项“想想是什么构成了现在的你”承接上句，且下一句“——你的智力，你的品位，你的健康，你的工作道德和决断能力——与运气无关”是思考的具体内容，D项中“all the things”与下一句中“your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making”呼应，上下句衔接自然。故选D项。

【5】

空前“现在考虑一下这些重要的影响力量，像一个名字一样浅显的事情能真的对你的生活结果有多少影响呢？”是用用问句的形式表达观点“名字不会决定命运”，再由空后“改变它并不是那么难”可推知，空处内容应是与上文观点相反，F项“另外：如果你真的认为是名字阻碍你”切题。故选F项。
