A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes.There is “Circular Road” for one.Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes，like “Paya Lebar Crescent”.This road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

　　语篇解读：世界各地地名的命名方式都很相似。本句介绍了地名的四种命名方法。

　　1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that.

　　A.the government is usually the first to name a place

　　B.many places tend to have more than one name

　　C.a ceremony will be held when a place is named

　　D.people prefer the place names given by the government

　　解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Frequently it happens that a place has two

　　names...”一句可知，许多地方都有不止一个名字。故选B。

　　答案：B

　　2.What does the underlined phrase “die hard”in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

　　A.Change suddenly.

　　B.Change significantly.

　　C.Disappear mysteriously.

　　D.Disappear very slowly.

　　解析：词义猜测题。由上下文可知：在许多地区，旧的习惯不易立即改掉，在其意义消失很久以后，这些地方仍会被人们以非官方的名字称呼。故此处die hard“顽固”，同D意义接近。
