单选题Directions:After reading the following passage, you will
find 5 unfinished statements or questions. For each statement there are four
choices marked A, B, C and D, you should make the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
center. A proud father has named his son after a
computer software term. Jon Blake Cusack, from Mocjogam, told a
local newspaper the US traditional way of adding "Junior" or "II" after a boy's
name was too common. So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name
Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade. Mr.
Cusack admitted that it took him months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept
the idea. Mrs. Cusack said she asked several friends whether they could accept
this name or not. All the men, she said, felt the name was "cool." However, her
women friends did not think so. "I think the women end up like it," she
said. Mr. Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from
a film called "The Legend of 1900," in which an abandoned baby is given the name
1900 to remember the year of its birth. "I thought that if they
can do it, why can't we?" he said. After little Jon version 2.0
was born, Mr. Cusack even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends
designed to look as though he and his wife had created new software.
"I wrote things like there are a lot of new features from Version 2.0
with additional features from Jamie," he said. And he is already planning for
his son's future. "If he has a child, he could name it 3.0," he said.
