ourfamily toSouthern California.My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind.This would be our first NewYear away fromAlabama.My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake.My athletic little brother,Paul,was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I,however,was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation.My first day in the new class,I introducedmyself in a low voice.The moment I opened my mouth to speak,the whole class burst into laughter,“He talksfunny.”It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after

a New Year package.Sure enough,it arrived.Surprised at the box,largeenough to hold a small refrigerator,we eagerly tore it open.The smell of Grannys house filled the room:acombination of fried meat,sausages,furniture polish and decorations.Her house was tiny and always filledwithtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year.But in my childhood eyes,it was precious andfantastic.There were countless tins and containers.We open hem to discover piles of holiday treats.She even includedour traditional candy bats.The box was as bottomless as a magical box.There,beneath all these,was familiarholiday.Every New Year that we spent inCalifornia,the postal service would call and say our package wasarrived.Over the years,many treasures arrived in the

from GrannyCAt the age of 50,Nina Schoen expects to have a long lifeahead of her,but has thought a lot about deathandwhy people are so reluctant to talk about it:“Its going to happen to all of us,”she says,“but it should be a morepositive experience than the fear we put into it.”When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost(堆肥),“I was reallymoved by the idea,”says Schoen,who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based companycalled Recompose,the countys first funeral home to offer human composting.Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil,more formally known as natural organic reduction.Before that,end-of-life options in the U.S.were limited to burial or cremation(火化),both of which come withenvironmental costsU.S.cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into theatmosphere everyyear.Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes ofoffering people a greener option for death care.“I wondered,What if we had a choice that helps the planetrather than harms it?”Spade tells PEOPLE.“To know that the last gesture youll make will be gentle and beneficialand it just feels like the right thing to do.”After she had her own two sons,she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death.A friendwho knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows,andthatsparkedan idea for her theory:“If you can compost a cow,you can probably compost a human,”she thought,and she set about designing a facility to do just that.“This is about giving people another choice,”Spade says.“At first,people react with shockYou really can dothat?But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth.This is a popular thing because whenyou die,you can give back to the planet.”8.How do people react when it comes to death according to paragraph 1?A.They are unwilling to comment.B.They

Seattle.C.It was founded to resist cremation.D.It has spent 10 years composting bodies.10.What does the underlined word“sparked”probably mean?A.Changed.B.Compromised.C.Quitted.D.Inspired.11.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A.A little things in our life can bring in big outcomes.B.We human beings should do all we can to help the earth.C.Composting is so popular that we should reserve a spot soon.D.We should reject burial because of its harm to environment.DIn many countries of the world,people can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city,but mostpeople who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwouldnot be able to explain what the name of their citymeans.The name of every British town and city,however,has a long history.Two thousand years ago,most people living inBritainwere Celts.Even the word“Britain is Celtic(凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called“castra.This is why there are so manyplace names inEnglandwhich end in-chester or“-casterManchester,for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland,and many placenames there are Celtic.For example,Welsh placenames that begin with“Llan come from the Celtic word for church.After the Romans leftBritain,it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that isnowGermanyandHolland.The names of their villages often ended in“-ham or“-ton.Some got their names fromthe leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example,means Beormunds village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them,so we have villages calledUpton(village on a hill)a good place to build a village and Moreton(“village by a lake”)where floods couldmake life hard.Place names that end in“-ford(a place where you could cross a river)also describe the location ofAnglo-Saxon villages.Finally,in 1066EnglandbecameNormantheNormansgave us the place name grange,which means farm.And how aboutLondon?Experts cannot agree.The Romans called the city Londinium,but they were not thefirst inhabitants(居民).People once believed that theUnited Kingdoms capital city got its name from the castle ofa King called Ludbut this is very unlikely.Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic wordmeaning a fast-flowing river.Like a number of British place names,its history is lost in time.12.The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because ofA.the death of local languagesB.the long lost history of the namesC.their lack of interest in itD.the frequent changes to the names13.According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town.A.on a hillB.near a castleC.beside a riverD.with a church14.Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants inBritain?A.The CeltsThe RomansTheNormansThe Anglo SaxonsB.The CeltsThe RomansThe Anglo SaxonsTheNormansC.The RomansThe CeltsThe Anglo SaxonsTheNormansD.The RomansThe Anglo SaxonsThe CeltsTheNormans15.What doesLondonmean in Celtic?A.RiverB.LondiniumC.LudD.Castle第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Both men and women usually smile and shake hands
