阅读理解。

      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver.   
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone.   
     Parents often pick names that can be shortened (缩写). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
(私人的) way.   
     For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz.   
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
because of the fame (名气) of the footballer David Beckham.

据专家权威分析,试题“阅读理解。 Every year in English-speaking countries, people ..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下:

历史文化类阅读

考点名称:历史文化类阅读

  • 历史文化类阅读:
    本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
    阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

  • 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧:
    一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理,阅读时要去掉杂念,心绪要安定,精神要专一,要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
    切不可一遇到几个生词难句,就心烦意乱,失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们,任何恐慌,过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
    因此,遇到困难一定要从容不迫,心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰,理解深刻。

    二、要提高视读的速度,考阅读理解,从另一个方面来说,考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时,要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
    切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭,只要全篇理解了,个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测,去推断。

    三、对文章的评价分析,一定要坚持“词不离句,句不离篇”,要理解文章作者的原意,而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
    切记:一想当然,就会出错。
