However, as the practice has become popular around the world, it has become pretty common for Scottish babies to have middle names. Because last names in Scotland are generally associated with their family roots, and first names usually describe a physical characteristic, many parents see a middle name as an opportunity to give their baby a slightly more creative name. ‎ Spain and Latin America In Spain and Latin America, a middle name is a way to break free from the cultural code governing first names. In some countries, even first names are legislated(立法)to be of Christian origin. In Chile, most girls are named Maria, after the Virgin Mary, so the middle name is used in practice for differentiation. Maria is the most common name in the Spanish-speaking world, so in all Spanish-speaking countries the middle name takes on great significance. ‎ Russia In Russia, both boys and girls are given middle names based on their father’s first name. For boys, the middle name usually has ovich, or evich, added to its ending. For girls, the middle patronymic(从父名衍生出的名字) name usually has ovna, or evna, added to its ending. People in Russia are often referred to by both their first and middle names, sort of the way parents in America use their children’s full names when they’re trying to get their attention(or yell at them). Close friends in Russia often don’t use their first names completely, and use only patronymic names, when ‎ talking to each other. ‎ Australia According to Law Buddy, an Australian legal advice service, child naming laws in Australia allow Birth Registrars to refuse to register baby names that they consider to be offensive(冒犯的), careless, inappropriate, or ridiculous. They do allow for children to get a middle name, which is typically reserved for the mother’s maiden name(娘家姓), provided, of course, that the mother’s maiden name is not offensive, careless, inappropriate, or ridiculous.‎ 21. What do we know about giving middle names in Scotland?‎ A. It needs to be based on their family roots. ‎ B. It’s opposed by the elderly in the country.‎ C. It mainly describes a baby’s appearance.‎ D. It didn’t become common until not long ago.‎ 22. What role do middle names in the Spanish-speaking countries play?‎ A. Showing family roots.‎ B. Showing their unique culture. ‎ C. Describing a physical characteristic.‎ D. Allowing people to have different names 23. What is a typical feature of middle names in Russia?‎ A. They usually have the same ending.‎ B. They’re usually very creative names.‎ C. They’re usually difficult to remember.‎ D. They’re based on their father’s middle name.‎ 24. What should parents in Australia consider when naming their children?‎ A. Avoiding a middle name.‎ B. Avoiding registering baby names.‎ C. Using the mother’s proper maiden name.‎ D. Using an unusual name for differentiation. ‎ B Relatives of Britain’s youngest WWI soldier, who fought at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, went along with hundreds of local people for the unveiling(揭幕)of a blue plaque(牌匾) at his ‎ former London home.‎ Sidney Lewis was just 12 years old when he joined up in 1915 and at the age of 13 he fought at the Somme. At this point his mum became aware of his whereabouts (下落)and sent his birth certificate to the authorities, which led to his being sent home. ‎ One hundred years later, seven car loads of Sidney’s relatives attended a special ceremony along with around 500 local people and schoolchildren at Sidney’s childhood home, 934 Garratt Lane, Tooting, where his 83-year-old son Collin unveiled the blue plaque. ‎ Buglers(号手)played at the ceremony on 24 September, which included a recitation by a 12- year-old boy in full military uniform and a reading by the Mayor of Wandsworth. The crowd enjoyed popular wartime tunes and a performance from an upstairs window by famous Irish violinist Tracey Mcrory, who played the specially-composed Far from Home. Guests included three representatives of the Armed Forces, past and present.‎ Sidney’s plaque was paid for by a fund-raising campaign called "A Quid for Sid", organized by a local community history project. ‎ Local historian Geoff Simmons said: “This was a very special event as Sid’s story is so unique and unbelievable and particularly catches the attention of young people. I hope it’s now firmly established in the history of Tooting.”‎ 21. What can be learned about Sidney’s military life?‎ A. It lasted for many years.‎ B. It was full of unforgettable memories.‎ C. It was an experience he never regretted for the rest of his life.‎ D. It was kept secret from his family at the very beginning.‎ 22. What do we know about the ceremony?‎ A. It took place at the Somme.‎ B. More than 500 people attended it.‎ C. It was organized by Sidney’s relatives.‎ D. A young boy unveiled the blue plaque.‎ ‎27. Which was part of the ceremony according to Paragraph 4?‎ A. Tracey Mcrory played Far from Home. ‎ B. Buglers marched in full military uniform.‎ C. Three representatives played different instruments.‎ D. The Mayor of Wandsworth read from an upstairs window. ‎ ‎28. What was Geoff Simmons’ wish?‎ A. Young people wouldn’t forget WWI.‎ B. Sidney would leave his mark in Tooting.‎ C. More stories would be told about soldiers.‎ D. More young people would join the army like Sidney. ‎ C I totally understand the need many parents have in wanting their children to be special, unique, talented and amazing. I think my child is all of those things too. Of course I do. But do we really need to be measuring and comparing the academic achievements of kids as young as 3, 4, and 5 years old?‎ These days, I often find it difficult to have a casual conversation with other parents of children who are only in preschool without being told about how their kid is phenomenally “advanced” in writing or that they’re already reading at a 2nd-grade level. ‎ I mean, obviously that’s great news if you’ve been led to believe your child possesses a remarkable talent because they’re catching on well in preschool. However, I can’t help but notice that the height of parental bragging (夸耀) has reached too high both in real life and on social media. ‎ I realize I’m probably pessimistic, but I’m afraid that we’re placing our children on a ridiculously steep pedestal (基座)at too young of an age and we’re really just giving our children a higher place to eventually fall from. ‎ The ever increasing loads of homework being sent home in preschool and kindergarten seem like overkill as well. The most important skills young kids in preschool and kindergarten should be learning are social skills, in my opinion.‎ But if you try telling this to anyone who has school-age children, they will all tell you that in order to survive and keep up in school these days, kids must be writing properly and learning how to read by the age of 5 at least. To me, an 8-hour day for a 5- or 6-year-old is just too much. But for some parents, it’s the key to getting their kids on that advanced train to academic excellence. ‎ So, while I think it’s great that your child may be very "advanced” for their age, I sincerely hope your child is happy, well-adjusted, surrounded by kind friends, and praised for so much more ‎ than how quickly they can read or write. ‎ ‎29. What does the author realize when she’s talking with other parents of children in preschool?‎ A. They’re very proud of their parenting.‎ B. They like comparing their children with themselves.‎ C. They spend a lot of time teaching their children to write.‎ D. They like showing off their children’s academic achievements.‎ ‎30. Which of the following would the author agree?‎ A. Parents shouldn’t want their children to be unique. ‎ B. It’s very important that kids in preschool learning writing. ‎ C. Kids in preschool should be mainly taught social skills. ‎ D. Preschool education will hardly affect kids in the long run.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Stop wasting your kid’s talents ‎ B. Stop teaching your kid to read and write C. Stop telling others your kid is "advanced"‎ D. Stop placing your kid under so much stress D When you let forth a big, embarrassing yawn during a boring lecture or concert, you give in to a reflex(反射) so universal among animals that Charles Darwin mentioned in his field notes. “Seeing a dog & horse & man yawn makes me feel how much all animals are built on one structure,” he wrote in 1838. Scientists still don’t agree on why we yawn or where it came from, but many of them believe it is a way to cool down the brain. Brains use a lot of energy to think, and they have a tendency to overheat. Breathing in a big breath of cool air cools the blood, and opening the jaw wide allows a rush of that blood into the brain. A new study, led by Andrew Gallup of the State University of New York at Oneonta, adds support to this popular theory.‎ ‎ The authors of the study assumed that if bigger yawns produce a greater cooling effect, then animals with bigger brains – and therefore more brain tissue to cool down—would experience more lasting yawns.‎ ‎ To investigate this possible brain cooling function of yawning, the researchers studied 29 mammals whose brain weights have been well documented in previous studies. They analyzed video ‎ of these animals and calculated the average length of their yawns. According to the data, gorillas, camels, horses, lions and walruses all have shorter yawns than human despite having larger bodies. This sustains the theory that the length of a yawn does not seem to be related to body size, but rather the size of the animal’s brain.‎ ‎ Other scientists, however, believe yawns have another purpose. Yawns are often contagious（传染的）, even among nonhuman animals. There is some evidence that yawns are passed along among animals when they witness another animal yawn. Because of this strange social reflex, some researchers believe that yawns are actually some kind of communicative signal that evolved for mental reasons, not out of physical necessity.‎ 32. What happens to the brain when an animal yawns?‎ A. More blood flows from the brain to the body.‎ B. More air flows to the brain to cool it.‎ C. Its brain instantly gets bigger.‎ D. Its brain uses more energy.‎ ‎33. How did the scientist determine the size of the animals’ brain they were studying?‎ A. By watching videos about the animals’ brains.‎ B. By measuring the animals’ brains in person.‎ C. By timing the animals’ yawns.‎ D. By using the previous data. ‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “sustain” mean?‎ A. support B. disapprove C. analyse D. continue ‎35. What is some scientists’ attitude to the theory mentioned in para.1 according to the last paragraph?‎ A. disapproving. B. uninterested. C. favorable. D. cautious 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 After VAR technology was used at the 2018 World Cup, now more countries are deciding to use it. ____36____.
