All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map,and so people can ask?directions to them.Americans name a lot of bridges,too.
Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike,for example.Or,like?the George Washington Bridge,roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.
We make a big deal out of naming things,as when someone decided to name an airport after a U.S.judge.So?now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Many,if not most,of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to the?schools.And our sports centers took this idea a step further.Companies paid a whole lot of money for what′s called?the"naming rights"to U.S.Cellular Field in Chicago,for example,and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Now the governor(州长)of Virginia,Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state.He says not just companies,but also wealthy people,would help the Virginia transportation budget(预算)by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges,and thus on maps as well.
People hold different views,however.Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored(赞助).
Others disagree,considering the idea as the next step in the"companies of America."They wonder how far such an?idea might spread,and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean,perhaps.

Most of the roads need to have names so that__________.

A.they can remind people of the past
B.people can learn about them better
C.they can be easily recognized on maps
D.people can enjoy naming them

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.

People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.

Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.

In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes , women use their own name in some situations (情况)and their husband’s in other situations . And some use both their own name and their husband’s.

--It's class time, so she__________ in the classroom now.

A.can be
B.must have been
C.might have been
D.should be

答案:D
解析:
根据语境可知,句意为现在是上课时间,所以她应该是在教室里。should be表示“应该会,想必会”,符合句意。can表推测时一般用于否定句和疑问句中,must/might have done表示对过去的推测,均不符合题意。故选D。
