Vincent Van Gogh was the son of a pastor (牧师) in Holland. Around his early twenties he decided to become an artist. He felt that color was his main influence and he used it to express himself. The way he painted was very unusual during the late 1800s because he paid much attention to colorful abstract art. Van Gogh had many paintings that have changed the way we look at art.

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose

the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter --- a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter--- a person who made pots and pans. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Rob erts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

28. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?

A. Places where people lived.

B. People’s characters.

C. Talents that people possessed.

D. People’s occupations.

29. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.

A. owned or drove a cart

B. made things with metals

C. made kitchen tools or containers

D. built houses and furniture

30. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.

A. Beatrice Smith

B. Leonard Carter

C. George Longstreet

D. Donald Greenwood

31. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.

A. later generations

B. friends and relatives

C. colleagues and partners

D. later bosses

D

You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair –not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.

Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.

But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope（同位素）. And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.

Can hair record this information? That’s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.

Police can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.

32. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?

A. They are classified by size.

B. Each type of them differs in weight.

C. They can improve the quality of tap water.

D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.

33. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?

A. People use the same bottled water.

B. People wash their hair in different ways.

C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.

D. People’ hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.

34. The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.

A. how to recognize criminals

B. how to collect hair samples

C. the usefulness of hair analysis

D. the process of Ehleringer’s study

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Water analysis

B. Change your hair

C. Hair detectives

D. Hair style

作文 (one possible version)

As you know, where there is understanding, there is a way. Mutual understanding without doubt plays a key role in making friends, communication, even the international cooperation. Sure, it not only brings harmony to the world, but also is a bridge that paves the way for everyone to step into the society.

However, teenagers often think it impossible to make their parents and teachers to understand them. The reasons are not hard to find. On the one hand, teenagers have an appetite for fashionable things and excitement. In their eyes, their parents and teachers are too rigid to follow the times. On the other hand, their parents and teachers, growing in a completely different tradition, have a negative opinion of young people's behaviour.

Personally, first, both should acknowledge their differences. After all, everyone is unique in the world. Second, it is necessary to learn to be a little more tolerant. Only so can they find the beauty in others.
