解析本题考查逻辑关系。句意：大多数人不会改名字，_____他们对自己的名字不满意。由此可以判断前后分句是让步转折意义的，所以答案为even if“即便，即使”，其他的选项都没有转折意思，尤其要注意even是副词，不可以用于句首引出从句。 (2) 解析:本题考查固定搭配take action“采取行动，采取措施”。句意：有些人，尤其是艺术家们，会付诸这种行动。 (3) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：什么使得艺术家们想要改名呢?有时候，这完全是原因。根据后面such O．S后所举的例子知道，某些人改名字完全出于个人原因，故选择pe~onal。obvious意为“明显的”，economic意为“经济上的”，own意为“自己的”。 (4) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：他改名字是为了不让父亲_____他在写诗这件事。四个选项，know意为“知道，了解”，understand意为“理解”，recognize意为“认出”，observe意为“察觉、观察”。分别代入后，选项B比较符合语境。 (5) 解析:本题考查固定词组at other times“在其他的情况”。句意：在其他情况下改名的原因可能是奇怪的。 (6) 解析:本题考查定语从句。句意：以葡萄牙诗人Femando Pessoa为例，此人用过75个不同的名字写作。分析本句结构，应该是非限定性定语从句对“此诗人”做出补充解释，故用who。that不能用于非限定性定语从句；which不能表示人，只能表示物；whom是宾格形式，只能作宾语不能作主语 (7) 解析:本题考查逻辑关系。此空前后都有逗号，需要填一个副词表示转折，四个选项中只有however放在句子中间时前后要加逗号。 (8) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：大家改名字有社会、历史、政治和文化等方面的原因，下面是几种最、原因。四个选项，scientific意为“科学的”，common意为“常见的，普遍的，共同的”，technical意为“技术的”，average意为“平均的，普通的”。四个选项分别带入后，选项B比较符合语境。 (9) 解析:这里考查固定结构too…to…“太……而不能……”。句意：某些人的名字太长、太难不好记。 (10) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：Madonna Louise Ciccone不像Madonna那样_____记。根据上下文知道，本句是想说简单明了更容易记住。因此选用easy一词，与前句的difficult宋对应，而后一句话中的easierto remember也可以帮助我们选择easy。 (11) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：有时候改名是为了营销_____。此题后三个选项都能表示“目的”，但各有不同，end往往表示最终目的，而且常常用于指与手段相对应的目的；goal则更多的是指个人或者某群体决心要达到的目标，通常指一般的趋势或方向而没有最终的具体目标；而purpose则主要是指所向往的结果，是行为、行动的缘由。 (12) 解析:本题考查词汇。根据前一句中的marketing purposes一词可以判断此句是想说“把名字改成在市场上更好识记的”，因此选market，而不是在某部电影、某本书或者是某个城市中更容易辨识。 (13) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：或者，可能艺术家的名字听起来不够吸引人一Chad EvereR比Raymond Cramto_____好很多。根据前半句里的doesn’t sound可以判断此处应该选用sound来表示“听上去怎样”，其他三个选项的词意都不恰当。 (14) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：艺术家有时候_____自己所欣赏的人的名字。四个选项，choose意为“选择，选用”，give意为“给”，change意为“改变”，mention意为“提到，提及”。分别代入后，选项A比较符合语境。 (15) 解析:本题考查词汇。句意：为了_____情况，她们有时候会取个男人的名字。根据前一句“在过去女性很难出版自己的作品”可知avoid“避免”比较符合语境。其他选项admit意为“承认”，assure意为“确认”，affect意为“影响”，都不符合语境。
