Devil, V8, Anal, Christ; these are among the baby names【C1】______by New Zealand’s department of internal affairs, who recently【C2】______a【C3】______list of those disallowed by registrars in the past ten years.
Few decisions are more【C4】______than the naming of offspring. Yet laws【C5】______the choice of both first names and surnames are not【C6】______around the world. Denmark expects new parents to choose from a register of acceptable names; Portugal lists banned and approved ones. German registrars prohibit the use of most nouns and place-names, and also frown【C7】______any that do not clearly imply a gender: bad luck, Kim.
Governments argue that these rules prevent children being【C8】______with absurd names that may cause them problems in later life. They also aim to block names that might cause【C9】______to others. In 2009 a couple in New Jersey lost custody of a boy they had named Adolf Hitler.
【C10】______concerns play a role, too. Government databases may struggle with long names: New Zealand allows 100 characters for all first names; the state of Massachusetts has a【C11】______of 40 for each. Chinese face a particular difficulty: their language has tens of thousands of characters, but a name that uses【C12】______or rare ones can mean computer problems.
Whether these decisions make any difference is another matter. A study in 2002 suggested that individuals may be influenced by their first names, without even being【C13】______of it. A disproportionate number of girls named Georgia live in the American state that【C14】______their name; boys named Dennis may be slightly【C15】______likely to become dentists than those called Walter (and Georges seem to have a【C16】______for geology). Academics with surnames in the【C17】______half of alphabet are more likely to get good university jobs (the authors of papers are listed alphabetically). Ballot papers that list politicians’ names that way also show a【C18】______effect.
But reinvention beckons. Britain’s chancellor was born Gideon Osborne; aged 13, he became George. The UK Deed Poll Service, a legal firm, in 2011 helped 60,000 Britons rename themselves (fees start at £33, around $50); it was only 5,000 a decade before. American courts report similar trends. Some such applicants may wish to【C19】______their parents’ expectations, while others may regret they were not given a more【C20】______name.
【C4】
选项
A、individual
B、specific
C、personal
D、humane
答案
C
解析
横线处后面几句话都在讲法律对于名字的管制,横线处的这句话和后面的语句之间用yet连接,说明是转折关系。因此横线处这句话应该是在强调取名字不该由法律控制,也就是强调取名字应该是个人的事情。[A]individual和[C]personal都可以表示个人的,但是individual做形容词一定要放在名词前面,而personal作为形容词可以单独作为表语出现,因此,本题的正确答案是[C]。
