(1)Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman instead.
(2)In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children wacky names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like—the only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words.
(3)Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. Equally, names related to sport are fairly common—since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.
(4)Other parents like to make up names, or combine names to make their own unique version, a method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Tidamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers). She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added to make the name "more exotic".
(5)Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child—no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. As a result a couple were recently banned from calling their baby @.
(6)In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the wacky ones. The top names are fairly traditional—Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls. [br] Jordan invented the name Ti谩amii for her daughter in order to ______.
选项
A、make the name different from any others
B、commemorate her daughter’s two grandmothers
C、demonstrate a special way of naming
D、make a foreign name
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Jordan和Tiáamii定位到第4段第1、2句。原文该段提到Jordan的例子是为了说明该段第1句的观点,该段第1句提到一些父母喜欢将一些名字组合成一个独特的名字。由此可见,本题应选A。如果Jordan只是将两位祖母的名字合并为她女儿的名字,那么我们应该选B,但Jordan在合并的基础上运用了发音和拼写的重复,这时B就不适合了;C并不是Jordan给女儿起这样一个名字的目的:该段中的exotic一词应该理解为“奇异的”,而不能理解为“外来的”,对这个词的正确理解有助于排除D。
