(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 Tiaamii 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.
What is the passage mainly about?
选项
A、Various ways of naming children.
B、Unusual ways of naming children.
C、Rules of naming in various countries.
D、Popular names in different countries.
答案
A
解析
本文有6段,第1段和第2段讲的是“怪名”,第3段讲的是与文化有关的名字,第4段讲的是父母自己创造的名字,第5段讲的是各国有关命名的规定,第6段讲的是最近英国比较流行的人名,总的来看,所有段落都与“起名字”有关,选项A最能概括全文内容。其它选项只能概括某个段落的大意,不足以概括全文。
