Why People Use Pseudonyms（艺名）

You can't choose the name given at birth，but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood．Of course，most people never change their names even if they feel （31）about them．However，some people do take this course of （32）﹣particularly artists!What makes an artist want to change their name？Sometimes it's for purely （33）reasons，such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile，Neftali Reyes．He didn't want his father to know he was writing poems，so he changed his name to Pablo Nenda when he was a young man．At other times the reason may appear （34）；take the case of Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa，who wrote under 75different names．The reason？"When I use a different name，I always write in a different way，"he explained．In most cases，however，people do it for social，historical，political，or cultural reasons．Here are some of the most common：

The person's name is just too long and difficult to remember．Let's be honest，Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just （35）"Madonna"．And short names are easier to remember．William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele．

Sometimes names are changed for marketing purpose．For example，if a name sounds too foreign，it may be changed to something that is more （36）in a market．So in the film world，Ramon Estevez （37）the name Martin Sheen．Or maybe the artist's real name doesn't sound very attractive﹣﹣﹣Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton!

Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire．Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan because of his （38）for the Welsh poet，Dylan Thomas．

Another reason may be （39）：in the past，women found it very difficult to become a well﹣received writer．To avoid this situation，they sometimes gave themselves men's name，so the English author Mary Ann Evans consequently became George Eliot，and she did get her books （40）!

41．（30分）We've tried shopping，making money and spending it，but we're still miserable．What's missing from our lives？

Money （41）makes most of us happy．Poor people，（42），see their life satisfaction rise with income but for most of the population in a country as rich as ours，any jump﹣start to well﹣being from a pay rise quickly wears off．"I was window shopping in the south of France recently and I saw a woolly hat decorated with diamond，and I quite fancied it．"When we get to that stage we should realize that more money isn't getting us more in terms of （43）．

But what about health？Surely the virtual （44）of most fatal disease，rising life expectancy and falling death rates should be cheering us up？Not a bit of it．All that happens is that our expectations rise just as or even more quickly．（45），our health is better on almost every count，but this doesn't translate into our feeling any healthier．We are more aware of our health，so we get more （46）it．Medicine has become a victim of its own success：having massively reduced the chances of death in childbirth，for example，people are now shocked if a life is lost ﹣﹣and reach for a lawyer．Death was inevitable﹣﹣﹣now it's （47）．Like the answer to many great problems，however，the answer to the question of happiness may be quite plain：once countries and households are free of material

need，the biggest （48）to life satisfaction seems to be a healthy set of personal relationship．The relative happiness of late teenagers and those passing middle age may relate to their spending more time on friendships．The thirty somethings，（49）on the two fronts of work and children，are the most frustrated．Those between full﹣time education and （50）may be spending more time on the activities they think will make them happy﹣﹣﹣earning and spending﹣﹣﹣than on those that （51）will：spending time with friends and family．

The friend﹣shaped gap （52）the American paradox﹣﹣﹣why the residents of the richest nation in the world are so unhappy﹣﹣﹣according to Professor Robert E．Lane at Yale University．"There is a kind of （53）of warm interpersonal relations，of easy﹣to﹣reach neighbors，of inclusive memberships，and of solid family life．"he says．

The （54）of happiness？Not money．So leave the lawn，forget your investment and call in sick tomorrow．Do yourself a favor．Phone a（n）（55）．41．A．by all means B．no longer C．as a matter of

56．（8分）We went to the B．T Blackstone Library，not far from Lake Michigan，once a week．You could easily miss the building if you didn't know what you were looking for．But once you were inside，you could never mistake it for anything else．We passed through two sets of heavy brass doorsto the lobby of the library．And if we turned right then，we could see an alcove with tables；this led，in turn，to a big reading room with a great and ancient globe that sat in front of the largest windows．At some time during every visit I found my way into that room to touch the globe．I liked to look at Africa，with the coded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia，and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights．I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle，arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show．

On Saturday，as I wandered through the young adult section．I saw a title：Little Women，by Louisa May Alcott．I could tell from looking at the shelf that she'd written a lot of books，but I didn't know anything about her．I had learned from experience that titles weren't everything．A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home，and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in a week．So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs：

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents"grumbled Jo，lying on the rug．"It's so dreadful to be poor"sighed Med，looking down at her old dress．

"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things，and other girls nothing at all"added little Amy，with an injured sniff．

"We have got Father and Mother and each other．"said Beth contentedly from her corner．

It was a thing I had decided on some other books to take home，because I didn't look through the rest of the section that day．I read and read and read Little Women it was time to walk home，and expect for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating，I wouldn't put it down until the end．Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who could almost be like me，especially Jo．It seemed to me a shame that she wasn't Black：then our similarity would be complete．She loved to read，she loved to make up plays，she hated acting ladylike，she had a dreadful temper．I had found a kindred spirit．

56．What can be learned about the author's father according to Paragraph 1？A．He was uncomfortable discussing politics with his children．

C．Web Radio：New Access to Information．

D．Special Features from Famous Websites．

63．（8分）It's finally over．We mean both the Oscar telecast，which ran as long as Gone With the Wind（though with fewer important roles for African Americans），and the three﹣month death march of critics'citations，guild（行业）awards and expert opinions on who'd win．In case you nodded off，Birdman took Best Picture and Director，and the acting prizes went to Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything．Julianne Moore for Still Alice，J．K．Simmons for Whiplash and Patricia Arquette for Boyhood﹣﹣four folks whom most people know from the speeches they gave，not the movies they were in．

This year，the only big hit among the eight Best Picture finals was American Sniper．The other seven were art﹣house films．You see，there is Hollywood，which makes movies the whole world watches，and there is off﹣Hollywood，which hatches the films that get Oscars．Somebody has to ask：Why does Hollywood hate what it does for a living？

It can be as simple as"films"are great and"movies"are rubbish．On the Rotten Tomatoes website，which shows the reviews of dozens of critics．Birdman pulled a 93 rating（out of 100）and The Imitation Game an 89．But some popular hits also scored

with the critics：91 for Guardians of the Galaxy，89 for Captain America：The Winter Soldier，88 for Gone Girl and a dramatic 96 for The Lego Movie．Audiences liked these four films too，paying more than 51 billion to see them in North American theaters（plus another 1.3billion dollars abroad）．

So why weren't at least a couple of these films nominated for Best Pictures？Maybe simply because they were popular．They got their awards as cash prizes，not Oscar statuettes．The Oscar winners have become a category of little films about big diseases．Another disconnect between Oscar voters and moviegoers：ages．The average age of the 6.7000Academy members is about 60，and they see most of the nominated films on screeners at home．Basically，they want movies to be television：educating，intimate dramas．The stories they respond to are not of youngsters on grand quests﹣﹣the action film﹣﹣but of unsung heroes battling weakness and approaching death．

The very first Oscar party，in 1929，had two Best Picture categories：one for"outstanding picture"（William Wellman's spectacle Wings），the other for"unique and artistic picture"（E．W Mumau's masterpiece Sunrise）．Maybe the Academy，obsessed with indie（独立制片的）artistry，should return to the double award．Then Avatar could win along with The Hurt Locker，and Gravity with 12 Years a Slave，even the new Star Wars might have a shot．

63．It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 1that．

A．not many people saw the four films．

B．the four films won the awards as expected．

C．awards shouldn't be given to the four people．

D．the four actors and actresses made great speeches．

64．Why does the author mention these films in Paragraph 2？

A．To illustrate the great films that are worth watching．

B．To explain why some films are given a higher score than others．

C．To illustrate there are films welcomed by both viewers and critics．

D．To highlight the importance of turning to critics'reviews when choosing films．65．Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with？A．Less emphasis should be given to moviegoers'opinions about films．

B．Oscar voters are unsung heroes fighting against weakness．

C．Being popular may prevent a film winning Oscar awards．

D．It's better to see a film in the cinema than at home．

66．What suggestion does the author give about Oscar award．

A．Having more independent film makers nominated for awards．

B．Setting up an award for the films different from present winners．C．Improving the standard for outstanding films．

D．Giving more chances to the greatest hits．

Getting dressed for the office

It's clear that business wear has changed in the last few years﹣﹣for both men and women．Even traditional business such as law companies have altered their dress codes from"smart"to"smart﹣casual"．（67）．What is less clear，however，is what"smart﹣casual"actually means．I hope to give you a few basic tips

here．There are many factors involved：for example，the particular industry you work in，how much contact you have with the public and your position in the company．The seasons even have a part to play﹣﹣what is acceptable in the summer might not be in the autumn or winter．

So，does"smart﹣casual"mean you can come to work in tracksuit bottoms and sandals，or does it just mean that you don't have to wear a tie？（68）．Fashionable colors for suits for both men and women this season are still the traditional grey，dark blue and black．You see someone wearing grey and it indicates a conservative，professional image；dark blue says you're trustworthy；and black always looks smart and classy．These colors don't have to look boring，however．Try wearing a shirt or blouse with a splash of color．Pale blue，pink or lilac are better than loud colors like bright pink and dark red．

（69）．Men can go for a sports﹣type jacket，with a shirt or smart jumper．You can wear well﹣cut trousers made of wool，or a good pair of chinos．Women can wear trouser suits or skirt suits．You can also wear more fashionable trousers and a blouse，or a skirt and top．But be careful；avoid wearing baggy，loose clothes，very short skirts and lots of logos and patterns．If in doubt，go back to the suit．You need a similar attitude to jewellery，bags and other accessories；you should try to resist large earrings and huge，colorful bags．（70）．

71．（9分）Dear Sir/Madam，

I am writing with reference to the article entitled"Everything's jut perfect，thanks!"which appeared in the June issue of your magazine．Following a discussion of the article in our English class，I have been chosen to express our disagreement with some of the views contained in the article．

First of all，we find it difficult to believe that such a large number of people are satisfied with the education system and with their working conditions．This is certainly not the case here，where many people have complaints about the poor standards of education．In fact，lack of job satisfaction is known to be among the greatest causes of stress in this country．

Secondly，it certainly is not true that most people are happy with public transport，either in our cities or in the country．Furthermore，one of the most commonly heard complaints is that there are insufficient buses and trains to serve on ever﹣increasing population．It's a well﹣known fact that our public transport system is seriously under﹣funded and our roads are heavily crowded．And，as far as city life is concerned，a significant percentage would move if they had the opportunity．Finally，we feel it is unrealistic of you to claim that most people have enough money to live on．Were this so，we would have none of the financial problems faced by most people and widespread poverty would not be an issue．

To conclude，we found your article to be extremely inaccurate in its assessment of living conditions．Since your magazine claims to represent students from all over the world，we look forward to reading more objective reporting in future issues．

Yours faithfully，

Mark Wiseman．

在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时，考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置，判断所填词语的词性，例如，连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等．定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前，起到对名词进行限制的作用．而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等．在运用介词的时候，往往考查介词的固定搭配，其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配．

【考点】N8：选词填空．

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们说明了人们改名字的各种原因，有纯粹是个人原因而改名的，有由于难记而改名的，有出于营销目的而改名的，也有由于实用性而改名的等等．

【解答】31﹣35：JAEKF

31．J；考查形容词辨析．根据前文"most people never change their names"大多数人人不会改变他们的名字，可知就算他们对自己的名字不满意，也不会改变名字．故此处填unhappy，故选J．

32．A；考查名词辨析．根据后文"However"可知有人会改变他们的名字，与前面的做法完全不同，action符合语境，故选A．

33．E；考查形容词辨析．根据后文关于智利的诺贝尔文学奖得主的举例，他由

于不想让父亲知道他写的诗，所以改变了名字．可见他改名字纯粹是为了个人的原因．所以填personal

，故选E．

34．K；考查形容词辨析．根据后文以葡萄牙诗人Femando Pessoa的情况为例，说明了在其他时候，原因可能会显得怪异，weird符合语境，故选K．

35．F；考查形容词辨析．根据前句"The person's name is just too long and difficult to remember"人的名字太长，很难记住．可知本段主要讲的是普通的名字比长名字更容易记住．plain 此处被当作形容词，意为普通的．符合语境，故选F．36﹣40：ICBGH

36．I；考查动词辨析．根据前文"Sometimes names are changed for marketing purpose．"有时为了市场营销目的而改变名字．由下文的例子可知改变名字只是为了更好的获得市场的认可．所以空格处应填recognized，认可，故选I．37．C；考查动词辨析．由上文可知为了更好的得到市场的认可也会改变名字，例如在电影中马丁?希恩采用了马丁辛的名字．adopted符合语境，故选C．38．B；考查名词辨析．根据前文"Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire．"可知艺术家有时会选择他们崇拜的人的名字．下面举例Robert Zimmerman改名的原因就是对威尔士诗人狄兰?托马斯的钦佩，admiration符合语境且与本段第一句话中的admire相照应．故选B．

39．G；考查名词辨析．根据后文"in the past，women found it very difficult to become a well received writer．To avoid this situation，they sometimes gave themselves men's name"可知在过去，女性很难成为一个受欢迎的作家．为了避免这种情况，她们有时会给自己取男人的名字，它们改变名字是由于男性的名字比较实用，practicality符合语境，故选G．

40．H；考查动词辨析．由上文知在过去，女性很难成为一个受欢迎的作家．为了避免这种情况，她们有时会给自己取男人的名字．英国作家玛丽安安伊万斯改名后，她的书也出版了．published符合语境，故选H．

【点评】做此类题，首先要通读全文，大体掌握文章的主题，其次要明白每个选项单词的汉语意思，要是有个别词不清楚意思，就要掌握它的词性，根据上下文语境以及单词的词性选择正确的选项．
