… And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps(食品劵 )at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave 51 we had to balance our careers and a young family. And both of us wished we had some superpower that would let us be in two places at once. We made that marriage work.
… So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of setbacks(挫折)and it comes with plenty of 55.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Some novels simply entertain and others contain a powerful message in the story line and characters. In his first novel, A Wind In Montana, Mitch Davies tells a story about young adults and how they accept responsibility for their lives.
A Wind In Montana is a marvelous tale of two teenagers, Rory Coleman and Victoria Beach, high school students at the same school, who struggle to make the right decision for themselves. As each of them nears adulthood, they become more concerned with the future and setting goals that will bring them happiness and fulfillment.
Without any advice from his parents, Rory chooses to pursue a profession in chemistry, applies for a chemistry scholarship, and determines to do everything he can to achieve it. Along the path, Rory finds that even though he has a plan, there are obstacles that could prevent him from realizing his goals. Victoria’s struggles are different from Rory’s. Although her father has decided that she should become a professional musician, Victoria has other plans for her life. Together, Rory and Victoria attempt to follow their dreams, despite the obstacles in their paths. A Wind In Montana contains a lesson for all teens about to enter adulthood － that disappointment and setbacks (挫折) are going to occur no matter how determined they are and that they need to develop skills along the way that will help them deal with them effectively.
There are so many major decisions facing teens today －social, parents, other influencing adults and school work － and there’s no guarantee that their plans will succeed, even if they make the so-called “right” decisions. A Wind In Montana explores how two teenagers struggle with their own unique decisions and how the choices they make affect their lives.
Mitch Davies’ book stands out among today’s teen books that deal with imaginary situations. A Wind In Montana is a real story about real people facing real-life situations. It’s entertaining and also helps readers think about their own lives and offers various ways to handle situations that may arise.
（ ）56. According to the passage, both Rory and Victoria _____.
A. work hard at their courses B. have a strong sense of self
C. go against their parents D. get along well with others
（ ）57. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. the value of A Wind In Montana B. Mitch Davies’ achievements
C. Mitch Davies’ writing style D. the content of A Wind In Montana
（ ）58. Unlike other teen books, A Wind In Montana ______.
A. involves some imaginary situations B. focuses on responsibilities teens should take
C. is based on real-life experiences D. discusses the future of young adults
（ ）59. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To review a book. B. To report a piece of news.
C. To speak highly of an author. D. To collect materials for a book.
B
It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun.
Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
（ ）60. “I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. it was a firm arrangement B. he prefers a pencil to a pen
C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. it was an uncertain arrangement
（ ）61. A website address can be easily found if it has been______.
A. favorited B. messaged C. emailed D. texted
（ ）62. Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?
A. message B. mobile C. email D. page
（ ）63. The best title for this passage is____.
A. Technology and Language. B. Development of the English language
C. New Technology and New words D. New Verbs from Nouns
C
Humans： It's time to abandon Earth or Race Extinction.
It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster (巨片），but this prediction isn't science fiction. It's a glimpse of the future ，according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.
“I see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. ‘‘There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go. ”
“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”，he said. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years ，let alone the next thousand, or million. ”
Hawking ，who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.
"If aliens visited us ，the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans，” he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧者），looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. ”
But Hawking says he's still hopeful for the future of humanity. He told Big Think. "We've made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years ，our future is in space.”
Getting to another planet will prove a challenge ，not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think that “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4. 2 light years away. That means ，if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4. 2 years to get there —or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”
（ ）64.Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because _____.
A. aliens will take up our home planet soon B. many disasters will happen on the Earth
C. resources will be used up in the future D. humans need larger space to live in
（ ）65.Thinking about the future of humans, Hawking feels that _____.
A. humans will probably become extinct B. aliens are the biggest future threat to humans
C. other planets are ready for humans to reach D. the earth will not be habitable for humans
（ ）66.What is the writer's key point in the last paragraph?
A. It is impossible to get to another planet in space.
B. The present means of transport are not advanced at all.
C. The near future can't see human's move to another planet.
D. The planet Proxima Centauri is the closest to the earth.
（ ）67.This passage is most probably taken from _____
A. a conference interview B. a science fiction
C. a forum report D. a history book
D
You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to endure almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the box's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
（ ）68. What does the author say about the black box?
A. It is an indispensable device on an airplane.
B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
C. Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible.
D. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.
（ ）69. What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. witness B. experience C. resist D. ensure
（ ）70. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
A. New materials became available by that time.
B. Too much space was needed for its installation.
C. The early models didn't provide the needed data.
D. The early models often got damaged in the crash.
（ ）71. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?
A. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
B. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.
C. They have stopped sending homing signals.
D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.
Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非传统的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
（ ）72. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to .
A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇)
（ ）73. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because .
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
（ ）74. The author believes that being humorous means that you .
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
（ ）75. The target readers of this passage are probably .
A. educational experts B. people who want to change jobs
C. college graduates who have just left school D. high school students who are still at school
第Ⅱ卷(满分35分)
第一节：任务型读写.(每空1分,共10分)
阅读下列短文, 并根据内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。
Parents are responsible for naming your baby. Psychologists find that if people are happy with their names, they’ll be happy with themselves. Time spent considering the most fitting and pleasant name for your baby is time well spent.
1. Consider your last name when selecting a given name for your baby. The name should combine, visually and vocally, with your family name. A short first name with a short last name may sound less agreeable to the ear. If you have a short surname such as Smith, Brown, or Hill, perhaps you’d choose a longer first name. Thus, John Westermore and Meredith Brown.
2. Select a first name which is different from your surname. It is best not to use names which run together when spoken, as in Ralph Forbes or Sheri Yeets. If these names are spoken rapidly, the distinctive sounds of the separate names disappear.
3. Watch out for the spelling. An unusual change in the spelling of a name may cause some trouble for your child, as in Jyssica spelled with a “y” instead of an “e”.
4. Take care before giving your child a unisex name. There is a growing trend toward giving children names like Alex, Toby, Page, Kelly, and Jamie, names that can be used by girls or boys. In general, giving a girl a unisex name may not cause a problem, but giving a boy such a name may. A boy named Shirley or Carroll is likely to suffer teasing.
To sum up, the best name for your baby is one that you love and feel your child will be happy with. A well-chosen name is one of the most important gifts you give your baby.

This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College（巴纳德学院）in New York.

When I first arrived on this 38, I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.
So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42.
… And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps(食品劵 )at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave 51 we had to balance our careers and a young family. And both of us wished we had some superpower that would let us be in two places at once. We made that marriage work.
… So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of setbacks(挫折)and it comes with plenty of 55.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

A
Some novels simply entertain and others contain a powerful message in the story line and characters. In his first novel, A Wind In Montana, Mitch Davies tells a story about young adults and how they accept responsibility for their lives.
A Wind In Montana is a marvelous tale of two teenagers, Rory Coleman and Victoria Beach, high school students at the same school, who struggle to make the right decision for themselves. As each of them nears adulthood, they become more concerned with the future and setting goals that will bring them happiness and fulfillment.
Without any advice from his parents, Rory chooses to pursue a profession in chemistry, applies for a chemistry scholarship, and determines to do everything he can to achieve it. Along the path, Rory finds that even though he has a plan, there are obstacles that could prevent him from realizing his goals. Victoria’s struggles are different from Rory’s. Although her father has decided that she should become a professional musician, Victoria has other plans for her life. Together, Rory and Victoria attempt to follow their dreams, despite the obstacles in their paths. A Wind In Montana contains a lesson for all teens about to enter adulthood － that disappointment and setbacks (挫折) are going to occur no matter how determined they are and that they need to develop skills along the way that will help them deal with them effectively.
There are so many major decisions facing teens today －social, parents, other influencing adults and school work － and there’s no guarantee that their plans will succeed, even if they make the so-called “right” decisions. A Wind In Montana explores how two teenagers struggle with their own unique decisions and how the choices they make affect their lives.
Mitch Davies’ book stands out among today’s teen books that deal with imaginary situations. A Wind In Montana is a real story about real people facing real-life situations. It’s entertaining and also helps readers think about their own lives and offers various ways to handle situations that may arise.
（ ）56. According to the passage, both Rory and Victoria _____.
A. work hard at their courses B. have a strong sense of self
C. go against their parents D. get along well with others
（ ）57. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. the value of A Wind In Montana B. Mitch Davies’ achievements
C. Mitch Davies’ writing style D. the content of A Wind In Montana
（ ）58. Unlike other teen books, A Wind In Montana ______.
A. involves some imaginary situations B. focuses on responsibilities teens should take
C. is based on real-life experiences D. discusses the future of young adults
（ ）59. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To review a book. B. To report a piece of news.
C. To speak highly of an author. D. To collect materials for a book.
B
It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun.
Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
（ ）60. “I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. it was a firm arrangement B. he prefers a pencil to a pen
C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. it was an uncertain arrangement
（ ）61. A website address can be easily found if it has been______.
A. favorited B. messaged C. emailed D. texted
（ ）62. Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?
A. message B. mobile C. email D. page
（ ）63. The best title for this passage is____.
A. Technology and Language. B. Development of the English language
C. New Technology and New words D. New Verbs from Nouns
C
Humans： It's time to abandon Earth or Race Extinction.
It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster (巨片），but this prediction isn't science fiction. It's a glimpse of the future ，according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.
“I see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. ‘‘There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go. ”
“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”，he said. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years ，let alone the next thousand, or million. ”
Hawking ，who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.
"If aliens visited us ，the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans，” he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧者），looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. ”
But Hawking says he's still hopeful for the future of humanity. He told Big Think. "We've made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years ，our future is in space.”
Getting to another planet will prove a challenge ，not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think that “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4. 2 light years away. That means ，if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4. 2 years to get there —or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”
（ ）64.Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because _____.
A. aliens will take up our home planet soon B. many disasters will happen on the Earth
C. resources will be used up in the future D. humans need larger space to live in
（ ）65.Thinking about the future of humans, Hawking feels that _____.
A. humans will probably become extinct B. aliens are the biggest future threat to humans
C. other planets are ready for humans to reach D. the earth will not be habitable for humans
（ ）66.What is the writer's key point in the last paragraph?
A. It is impossible to get to another planet in space.
B. The present means of transport are not advanced at all.
C. The near future can't see human's move to another planet.
D. The planet Proxima Centauri is the closest to the earth.
（ ）67.This passage is most probably taken from _____
A. a conference interview B. a science fiction
C. a forum report D. a history book
D
You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to endure almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the box's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
（ ）68. What does the author say about the black box?
A. It is an indispensable device on an airplane.
B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
C. Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible.
D. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.
（ ）69. What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. witness B. experience C. resist D. ensure
（ ）70. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
A. New materials became available by that time.
B. Too much space was needed for its installation.
C. The early models didn't provide the needed data.
D. The early models often got damaged in the crash.
（ ）71. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?
A. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
B. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.
C. They have stopped sending homing signals.
D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.
Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非传统的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
（ ）72. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to .
A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇)
（ ）73. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because .
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
（ ）74. The author believes that being humorous means that you .
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
（ ）75. The target readers of this passage are probably .
A. educational experts B. people who want to change jobs
C. college graduates who have just left school D. high school students who are still at school

阅读下列短文, 并根据内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。
Parents are responsible for naming your baby. Psychologists find that if people are happy with their names, they’ll be happy with themselves. Time spent considering the most fitting and pleasant name for your baby is time well spent.
1. Consider your last name when selecting a given name for your baby. The name should combine, visually and vocally, with your family name. A short first name with a short last name may sound less agreeable to the ear. If you have a short surname such as Smith, Brown, or Hill, perhaps you’d choose a longer first name. Thus, John Westermore and Meredith Brown.
2. Select a first name which is different from your surname. It is best not to use names which run together when spoken, as in Ralph Forbes or Sheri Yeets. If these names are spoken rapidly, the distinctive sounds of the separate names disappear.
3. Watch out for the spelling. An unusual change in the spelling of a name may cause some trouble for your child, as in Jyssica spelled with a “y” instead of an “e”.
4. Take care before giving your child a unisex name. There is a growing trend toward giving children names like Alex, Toby, Page, Kelly, and Jamie, names that can be used by girls or boys. In general, giving a girl a unisex name may not cause a problem, but giving a boy such a name may. A boy named Shirley or Carroll is likely to suffer teasing.
To sum up, the best name for your baby is one that you love and feel your child will be happy with. A well-chosen name is one of the most important gifts you give your baby.
