Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony(仪式) but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore (新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road(斯坦福路) and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries--in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus--obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example. “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay (马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
C. many places tend to have more than one name
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
2.What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly.
B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear very slowly.
D. Disappear mysteriously.
3.Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Selector Airbase.
B. Raffles Place.
C. Piccadilly Circus.
D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.
B. Some places in Singapore are named for military(军事) purposes.
C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.
D. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.

Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country.
Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines (涡轮机). For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to thwart the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country.
Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany’s electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany.
One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place!
Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. “It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty,” she says, “I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don’t want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests.”
The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black stork. Campaigners say building turbines here would be disastrous for the birds.
1. Which of the following does NOT belong to green power? _____.
A.Solar energy B.Wind energy
C.Bio-energy D.Atomic energy
2.What percentage of Germany’s electricity was generated by wind in 2013? _____.
A.11% B.22% C.50% D.60%
3.What can be inferred from the passage? _____.
A.The author is against building more wind turbines.
B.The public prefers wind energy to nuclear energy.
C.Most Germans object to building wind turbines all over Germany.
D.The central and southern areas of Germany are rich in wind energy.
4.What is the main idea of the passage? _____.
A.Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany.
B.The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty.
C.Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy.
D.Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
Being a winner is all about creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
1.According to the passage, winners .
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather than others
2.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. avoid B. accept
C. improve D. consider
3.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .
A. blame him for his lack of responsibility
B. find a better way to handle the problem
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
4.When problems occur, winners take them as .
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner’s Secret
B. A Winner’s Problem
C. A Winner’s Opportunity
D. A Winner’s Achievement
