Question

【題目】 One thing that most of us probably can agree on: just about every parent thinks that his or her kid is special. 【1】. Good intentions, however, do not often lead to good outcomes: people who particularly dislike their name-and also if other people think it's an odd (怪異的） and unlikeable name-tend not to be as well-adjusted.

【2】, maybe even something fairly significant, about your parents' religious or ethnic (種族的） background, their level of income or education, maybe even their politics. From what we can tell, your name is not your destiny (命運）. The story goes that two brothers in New York were named Loser and Winner by their parents. Loser turned out to have a great life as an upstanding citizen. He was a police detective. 【3】 .

Just think about it for a minute. 【4】 -your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making-to say nothing of luck.

Now, considering all of those heavyweight forces, how much could something as surface as a name really affect your life's outcome? 【5】 , it isn't that hard to change it.

A.Your life is determined by yourself

B.And Winner had been a career criminal

C.A name contains a rich set of information

D.Think about all the things that make you

E.It is true that your name may tell the world something

F.Plus which: if you really think your name is holding you back

G.And part of what makes each of our kids special is the names we give them

【5】F

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。很多人的名字包含了美好的的寓意，但是名字并不能決定一個人的的命運。

【1】

前一句提到“我們大多數(shù)人可能都會同意一件事：差不多每個父母都認為他或她的孩子是特別的”，G項“讓每個孩子與眾不同的部分原因是我們給他們?nèi)〉拿�字”承接上文，解釋上一句中父母覺得孩子與眾不同的原因，G項中“special”與上一句中的“special”呼應(yīng)。故選G項。

【2】

空后一句“甚至是一些相當重要的事情，關(guān)于你父母的宗教或種族背景，他們的收入或教育水平，甚至可能是他們的政治立場”是舉例說明名字中傳達的信息，所以E項“的確，你的名字可能向世界表明一些事情”切題，且E項中“something”與空后一句中的“something”呼應(yīng)，故選E項。

【3】

上文提出觀點“your name is not your destiny(你的名字不是你的命運)”，接下來舉了分別名為“Loser”和“Winner”的例子，空前一句提到“Loser結(jié)果作為一個正直的公民過著很好的生活。他是一個警察偵探”，由此推知空處應(yīng)是說Winner的命運，所以B項“Winner成為一個職業(yè)罪犯”切題，與上文Loser的命運形成對比，印證上文的觀點。故選B項。

【4】

空前提到“花一分鐘的時間想想它”，D項中“Think about”與空前一句“think about”呼應(yīng)，D項“想想是什么構(gòu)成了現(xiàn)在的你”承接上句，且下一句“——你的智力，你的品位，你的健康，你的工作道德和決斷能力——與運氣無關(guān)”是思考的具體內(nèi)容，D項中“all the things”與下一句中“your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making”呼應(yīng)，上下句銜接自然。故選D項。

【5】

空前“現(xiàn)在考慮一下這些重要的影響力量，像一個名字一樣淺顯的事情能真的對你的生活結(jié)果有多少影響呢？”是用用問句的形式表達觀點“名字不會決定命運”，再由空后“改變它并不是那么難”可推知，空處內(nèi)容應(yīng)是與上文觀點相反，F項“另外：如果你真的認為是名字阻礙你”切題。故選F項。
