Green is my family name.My parents gave me both of my other names.People don’t use their middle names very much.So“John Henry Brown”is usually called“John Brown”.People never use Mr,Mrs or Miss before their first names.So you can say John Brown,or Mr Brown;but you shouldn’t say Mr John.They use Mr,Mrs or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.I think this is different from Chinese names.In China,the first name is the familyname,and the last name is the given name.For example,a man called Zhou Jian puts his family name Zhou first.21.Most English people have_________.A.a first name and the last nameB.a first name and the family nameC.a middle name and the family nameD.a first name,a middle name and the family name22.Green is the_______for the boy called Jim Allan Green.A.first nameB.family nameC.given nameD.middle name23.“John Henry Brown”is usually called________.A.John HenryB.Henry BrownC.John BrownD.Brown John24.People never say________A.Mr BrownB.Mr GreenC.Mr ZhouD.Mr John25.Which of the following is true?A.Most English people have two names.B.In England,the family name comes first.C.English people don’t often use their middle names.D.In China,people use Mr,Mrs or Miss before the given name.Passage TwoQuestions26to30are based on the following passage.I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters.Standing by her chair,looking at the ink bottle,pens,and white paper,I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later,during her final illness,Mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk”,she said,“is for Elizabeth”.I never saw her angry,never saw her cry.I knew she loved me,she showed it in action.But as a young girl,I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened.And a gulf opened between us.I was“too emotional”.But she lived“on the surface”.As years passed,I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer.None came.My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest,finally,peace-it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother.I only knewthat I had written it,and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me,as she’d never been able to,that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work,I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter,folded and refolded many times.Give me an answer,my letter asks,in any way you choose,Mother,you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.26.The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.A.after Mother diedB.before she became a writerC.when she was a childD.when Mother gave it to her27.The passage shows that__________.A.Mother wrote her daughter in careful wordsB.Mother cared much about her daughter in wordsC.Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneD.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter28.The word“gulf”in the passage means________.A.part of the sea going far in landB.free talks between mother and daughterC.different ideas between the mother and the daughterD.deep understanding between the old and the young29.What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?A.She had never received the letter.B.She read the letter again and till she died.C.For years,she often talked about the letter.D.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.30.What’s the best title of the passage?A.My letter to MotherB.Mother and ChildrenC.My Mother’s DeskD.Talks between Mother and MePassage ThreeQuestions31to35are based on the following passage.A man once had a dream about the Black Forest in Germany.In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground.He ran off as fast as he could,but they followed him.He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him,one to the right and the other to the left.Which road should he take?Heheard the two men behind him,getting nearer,and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear.It told him to go to the right,and he did so.He ran on and soon came to a small hotel. He was received there kindly and given a room,and he was saved from the two men.That was the dream.Twenty years later he was really in the Black Forest and,as happened in the dream long ago,two men ran out and tried to throw him down.He ran off,and came to a place with two roads,like in the dream.He remembered the dream and took the road to the right.

Released from these household chores,many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families,too,are simpler today.In America,it is not customary for parents to live with their married children.With our greater mobility,relatives have scattered,the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people,after they marry,going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom,too.While attending college,they often live away from home,sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After college,they move to the city,find a job,and set up a“bachelor”apartment.This is the era of women’sliberation.But all this freedom and affluence(富裕)have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating(破坏的)effect on marriage.36.In the U.S.,families are becoming____.A.biggerB.smallerC.easierD.freer37.Why are women able to achieve economic independence?____A.Because they have their own salary.B.Because convenience foods are available.C.Because
