be favorites.
People in Ameica don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names.Instead,they often use nicknames.Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name.For instance,a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa,Beth or Betsy.As children grow up,they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names,like B.J.or R.C.And of course,people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames.Often they have a “sweet” flavor,like Honey or Sugar.What’s in a name? A world of significance.So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself,take care to choose a good one.Amade-up name could sound strange to native English speakers.And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name,either.But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression.As an American politician once said,“In real life,unlike in Shakespeare,the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.” 71.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A.People change names in order to be popular with the new generation. B.Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.

The flag, the most common symbol(象征)of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact(人工制品). It is, rather the product of thousands of years’development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾)before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king

39.D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知,“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关,因此在那里摸索,结果并没有,只有once能表示此意。
40.C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆,自己是暂时住到这里,排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C项正确,注意spot此处意为“注意到,看到,发现”。

53.B. 由上文So let your light shine. 可知,作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人,故选B。
9
54.C. 细心揣摩文意可知,我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小,好像是森林中的一只蜡烛,故选no more than正确。

1. Natural disasters left students in miserable life. However, they never gave up study. As it’s shown in the two pictures, in a primary school in Yunnan, students are learning attentively even though they were in serious trouble of lacking food and drinkable water. It is obvious that they want to equip herself with knowledge. A girl stood in front of ruins after the earthquake, holding her books firmly in hand. There is no doubt that she is thirsty for knowledge.
The students in the two photos deserve our admiration. Though experiencing disasters, they still have a strong desire for study. Their perseverance and striving spirit touched everyone’s heart.
The two photos also let me know that I should value what I have. When facing a sticky problem, I won’t give up. I will regard devotion as my goal in life, having more diligence and fewer complaints. Meanwhile, I appeal to the whole society to take actions to improve their living conditions. 2. Dear David,

Thank you for your letter asking about our discussion on low carbon lifestyle. Here is something about it.
We can do a lot in our daily life to achieve the goal of low carbon life. First, we’d better turn off lights if possible and spend less time watching TV or surfing the Internet. Saving water also matters much. Besides, we should sort out the rubbish, hoping that we might recycle some, which will surely benefit us a great deal. ln addition, we suggest using handkerchiefs instead of tissues so that we can prevent more trees from being cut down. More importantly, when we go out, walking, riding bikes or taking buses should be our first choice, which contributes to a cleaner world. Best wishes,
