Sarah Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the
letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Wentworth Girls' School
Beachside
July 20th
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I’m very sorry about this.
Much love,
Sarah
P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!
【小题1】Why did Sarah write home?
| A．To tell her parents about the fire. |
| B．To ask for a lot of money. |
| C．To tell her parents she had failed her exams. |
| D．To tell her parents she had to leave school. |
| A．She wanted to worry them. |
| B．She wanted to make them laugh. |
| C．She wanted to make them less angry at the real news. |
| D．She wanted to warn them about what the principal was going to do. |
| A．mostly true | B．partly true |
| C．completely true | D．completely untrue |
【小题1】C
【小题2】C
【小题3】D
解析试题分析：【小题1】C 细节题。根据文章最后一段None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!说明他写这封信的真正目的是告诉父母之间考试不及格。故C正确。
【小题2】C 推理题。开始的时候他编了一个故事，把情况说的非常严重，让父母很担心，最后再告诉父母不是真的，说出了原来的目的，这样做是希望父母不要太生气。故C正确。
【小题3】D 细节题。根据倒数第二行None of the above is true说明上面的内容都不是真的。故D正确。
考点：考查故事类短文阅读
点评：文章介绍了一个聪明的孩子为了让自己的父母不生气而写的一封信。要理解这封信的真正目的是在最后一段，要求考生有较强的细节理解力和推理能力。

科目：高中英语 来源：2010年山东省高二下学期期末考试英语卷 题型：阅读理解
“What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.
Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David, Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
People in America 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. A made-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.”
1. 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.
C. Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.
D. No names can stand the test of time.
2. When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that _________.
A. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning
B. you can name after a well-known person
C. surname should be paid attention to
D. you can create a name that is special
3.The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means .
A. nickname B. the first letter C. short form D. title
4. The author will name a newly born baby girl .
A. Bertha B. Fanny C. Yunyun D. Elizabeth
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Names have great significance to Americans.
B. Names change when time goes by.
C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.
D. Roses smell sweet by any other name.
