all over the world name places in similar waysQuite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by peopleThen an organized body steps in and gives the place a nameFrequently it happens that a place has two names：One is named by the people and the other by the governmentAs in many areas，old habits died 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 generationsThus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles PlaceThis is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the West and the East Another way of naming places is naming them after other placesPerhaps 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 afterThe mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British basesIf you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those placesBras Basah Road is an interesting example，Base Basahmeanswet ricein Malay（马来语）Now why would anyone want to name a roadWet Rice Road？The reason is simpleDuring the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapesThere isCircular Roadfor oneOther roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes，likePaya Lebar CrescentThis 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 again36We learn from Paragraph 1that Athe government is usually the first to name a placeBmany places tend to have more than one nameCa ceremony will be held when a place is namedDpeople prefer the place names given by the government37What does the underlined phrasedie hardin Paragraph 1probably mean？ AChange suddenlyBChange significantlyCDisappear mysteriouslyDDisappear very slowly38Which of the following places is

from the passage？ ASome place names in Singapore are the same as in BritainBSome places in Singapore are named for military purposesCThe way Singaporeans name their places is uniqueDYoung Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers18（10分）I am a writerI spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion，a visual image，a complex idea，or a simple truthLanguage is the tool of my tradeAnd I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California，Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaksLike others，I have described it to people asbrokenEnglishBut feel embarrassed to say thatIt has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other thanbroken，as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed，as if it lacked a certain wholenessIve heard other terms used，limited English，for exampleBut they seem just as bad，as if everything is limited，including peoples perceptions（认识）of the limited English speaker I know this for a fact，because when I was growing up，my motherslimitedEnglish limited my perception of herI was ashamed of her EnglishI believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to sayThat is，because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfectAnd I had plenty of evidence to support me：the fact that people in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her I started writing fiction in 1985And for reasons I wont get into today，I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with：the English she used with me，which for lack of a better term might be described asbroken，and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese，her internal（内在的） language，and for that I sought to preserve the essence，but neither an English nor a Chinese structure：I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show； her intention，her feelings，the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts41By sayingLanguage is the tool of my trade，the author means that Ashe uses English in foreign tradeBshe is fascinated by languagesCshe works as a translatorDshe is a writer by profession42The author used to think of her mothers English as AimpoliteBamusingCimperfectDpractical43Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3？ AAmericans do not understand broken EnglishBThe authors mother was not respected sometimesCThe authormother had positive influence on herDBroken English always reflects imperfect thoughts44The author gradually realizes her mothers English is Awell structuredBin the old styleCeasy to translateDrich in meaning45What is the passage mainly about？ AThe changes of the authors attitude to her mothers EnglishBThe limitation of the authors perception of her motherCThe authors misunderstanding oflimitedEnglishDThe authors experiences of using broken English19（10分）Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18to 26funded with2.5million of taxpayersmoneywas announced yesterday by Andy Burnham，the Culture SecretaryIt received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivilegedThe plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences，thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent showsAttendances reached.13.6million in 2007，up 10percent on 2006，itself a record yearTotal sales were up 18percent on 2006to

twoyear planIn return，they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18to 26yearolds，firstcome，firstservedIt is likely to be on Mondays，traditionally a quiet night for the theatre MrBurnham said：A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience，and be inspired to explore a new worldBut sometimes people miss out on it because they fear itsnot for themIts time to change this perception Jeremy Hunt，the Shadow Culture Secretary，said：The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people

Psychologists have known that one persons perception（感知） of anotherswarmthis a powerful determiner in social relationshipsJudging someone to be eitherwarmorcoldis a primary consideration，even trumping evidence that acoldperson may be more capableMuch of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences，Bargh argues，when babiesconceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical
