What's in a name?Letters offer clues to one's future decisions,apparently.Previous studies have suggested that maybe a person's monogram (41)influences his life choices-where he works,whom he marries or where he lives-because of"implied self-esteem (自负),"or the temptation of positive self-associations.For instance,a person named Fred might be attracted to the (42)notion  of living in Fresno,working for Forever 21or driving a Ford F-150.
Now a new study by professor Uri takes another look at the so-called name-letter effect and (43)offers  other explanations for the phenomenon.He analyzed records of political donations in the U.S.during the 2004campaign-which included donors'names and employers-and found that the name of a person's workplace more closely related to the first three letters of a person's name than with just the first letter.But he suggests that the reason for the association isn't implied self-esteem,but perhaps something (44)exactly  the opposite.
Duyck,one of the researchers whose previous work(45)uncovered  the name-letter effect,isn't so quick to abandon the implied self-esteem theory.He pointed out that the sample group Uri studied may have biased the results:Uri analyzed the name-letter effect in a sample of people who donated money to political (46)campaigns.Still,Duyck notes that Uri's theories are credible,and that even while some people may (47)found  the same name of companies,employees may be tending to those companies because they start with the same letter as their names.In the end,whatever the explanation for the name-letter effect,no one really disputes that self-esteem is (48)involved on some level.But the true importance of the effect is up for debate."I can't imagine people don't like their own letter more than other letters,"says Uri,"but the differences it makes in really (49)big  decisions are probably slim."

分析 本文讲述了一个人名字的字母组合对一个人的影响到底有多大,并结合具体例子来说明.

解答 41.B  42.I   43.A   44.D   45.C   46.G   47.F   48.H  49.E

43.A  考察动词.offer此处为动词,提供,最新的研究提供了为这种现象提供其他的解释.
44.D  考察副词.根据前文"But he suggests that the reason for the association isn't implied self-esteem,but…可知,有时候传递完全相反的意思.exactly为副词,确切地说.
45.C 考察动词.  根据后句"He pointed out that…可知,在他的理论中,他是揭露了…uncover为动词揭露的意思.
46.G   考察名词.political  campaigns为固定表达法.意为政治运动.
47.F   考察动词.从后面句子"the same name of companies,employees may be tending to those companies because they start with the same letter as their names"可以看出,是其他人所发现的内容.
48.H  考察形容词.从某种程度上说没有人会争论名字涉及到自负.be involved为固定短语,涉及,牵扯.
49.E考察形容词.根据前文的叙述可知,名字的字母组合对于一个人的影响不大.尤其是一些大的决定上面所产生的区别是微乎其微的.

点评 语法填空题主要是考查对文章句子结构和词汇搭配的用法.通常的考查点有:动词(时态,语态,非谓语形式);名词(单复数);形容词和副词(转换);连词(复合句,并列句);介词(搭配结构)等.偶尔也会出现逻辑判断题,例如考查代词的指代对象.在平时练习时多注意归纳总结,考试时自然游刃有余.

12.[1]The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information.Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of disease and early death in the United States.So why do so many teens continue to smoke?There are lots of reasons,you usually start for one reason or another and then it is really hard to quit.
[2]Nicotine acts in the brain where it can help develop feelings of pleasure,and pleasure feels good!It also will work as an appetite suppressant(抑制剂) for many people; other people believe it relieves stress.This may help explain why it is hard __________.
[3]Experimental smoking usually begins the habit.Next comes occasional cigarette smoking at parties,on weekends,with friends or when trying to lose weight.This is the most dangerous stage,because it usually leads to an addictive stage,when teens become regular smokers. People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting.
[4]There is no safe amount of smoking.Every cigarette causes some harm to the body.Once smoke touches the lips,it begins to attack living tissues,and it continues its attack wherever it goes.Cigarette smokers have less ability to carry oxygen to the rest of the body and this is why smokers have less endurance(耐力) when running or participating in sports.
[5]Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age.The smoke changes the elasticity(弹性) of the skin and fine lines appear around the eyes and mouth.Your clothes and hair will smell from smoke and pretty soon you can no longer smell it.Kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray(烟灰缸).
[6]There is no right way to quit smoking,but surely you can do it!
[7]If you are thinking about smoking,the only way to avoid getting addicted to cigarettes is never to start in the first place.
 
76.What should teens do according to the advice in the article?(no more than 15 words)Teens should either stop or not/never start smoking.
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information.
It's already known that smoking is likely to cause illness.
78.Fill in the blank in Para 2 with proper words.(no more than 5 words)for smokers to stop/(for people) to stop smoking

19.[1]What does a successful language learner do?Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
[2]First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher.Instead of waiting for teachers to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
[3]Secondly,successful language learning is active learning.Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but     .They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things.They are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
[4]Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.
[5]What kind of language learners are you?If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively and purposefully.On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might do well to try some of the techniques above.

76.What is the main idea of the text?(Please answer within 10words.)
Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways
77.Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
They make efforts to seek their own ways of learning rather than wait for explanations from their teachers.
Theyaregoodguesserswholookforcluesandformtheirownconclusions.
78.Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 8words)
look for such a chance
79.If you want to be a successful language learner,what should you do?(Please answer within 20words)
To be a successful language learner,I will learn more independently,actively and purposefully.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3into Chinese.
