Naming Children

In the United States children have a family name, or a last name, and a first name. Most also have a middle name. But not all the people name children in the same way. To name a baby, some parents begin by saying the names of the child's ancestors(祖先). The baby may smile or cry when their parents say an ancestor's name. The parents think that the ancestor is reborn(再生) in the baby. So they give the baby that name.Some people change their names. Navaho Indians(纳瓦伙族印第安人) change their names when they want new ones. The Navahos can use the mother's last name. They may want an English name. The Navahos do not think it important to keep the same name. In some parts of Africa, a baby's name is a secret. People there believe(认为) that the name is a part of the child. No strangers can know it.

( )1. In the United States all the children have a middle name.

( )2. All the people in the world name their children in different

ways.

( )3. Some children have their ancestor's names. ( )4. Navaho Indians can never use another name.

We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.

L

答案及分析：

A。本文开头说“First, we work out a plan”,其中work out a plan=draw up a plan，由此可见掌握同义词对于解题十分重要。 B。第二段说到“we drive to the woods”，由此可见他们是乘车去野营的。

C。野营活动丰富多彩，第二段末尾已提到游泳、散步、爬山、划船、钓鱼，后面还提到讲故事、唱歌等，绝不止“one or two”或“two or three”这样为数不多的活动，而only a few=few，含有否定意义，因此只好排除。

C。他们生活的目的是本文重要的细节，文章中不止一次提到这个问题，第三段的“because it can keep the insects away”已明确说明。

B。这是一道综合性的问题，考查读者对野营的看法。通观全文便知道，野营活动丰富多彩，但同时也使人忙碌甚至筋疲力尽，所以文中说”It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early”。
