21、 What is the most powerful word in the English language? The. It's everywhere. We use it in English without always noticing or appreciating it. It's not much to look at. It isn't descriptive, emotive or inspiring. Technically, it's meaningless. And yet this dull and harmless-seeming word could be one of the most powerful words in the English language.
“The” tops the lists of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100 words used. But why is this? The answer is two-fold. The principle of least effort plays a major part. So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning. Words' are split into two categories: expressions with a semantic (语义的) meaning and functional words like “the”, “to”, “for”, with a job to do.
Although “the” has no meaning in itself, “it seems to be able to do things in subtle and miraculous ways,” says Michael Rosen, poet and author. Consider the difference between “he scored a goal” and “he scored the goal”. The inclusion of “the” immediately signals something important about that goal. Perhaps it was the only one of the match? Or maybe it helped a team win the championship? Context very often determines sense.
This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guard’s utterance of “Long live the King” is soon followed by the ghost: “Looks it not like the King?” Who, the audience may wonder, does “the” refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of confusion is the kind of “trick” that writers use to make us surprised and amused, a bit uneasy even. “‘The’ is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen.
【1】Which of the following describes the word “the” correctly?
A．It is often overlooked.
B．It is useless in practice.
C．It is dull and descriptive.
D．It is in every English sentence.
【2】The word “the” is frequently used because it is _____.
A．brief and functional
B．popular and unique
C．effective and emotive
D．meaningful and expressive
【3】What does the example in Paragraph 3 imply?
A．“A” is not as important as “the”.
B．It's impossible to understand a single sentence.
C．Words should be understood in the context.
D．Some words have a clearer meaning than others.
【4】Why did the writer of the play stress “the” in “Looks it not like the King”?
A．To show his confusion.
B．To add drama to the scene.
C．To repeat the guard's words.
D．To help the audience understand.
22、 The jaguars(美洲豹) didn't bother me much during the day. Adonis, our local guide who was leading us deep into the Guatemalan jungle, guaranteed that we wouldn't come under attack from the jaguars. The most recent time he had seen one was more than a year ago. Last week, he had spotted some jaguar tracks, which was probably about as close to the animals as we would get, he said.
But his guarantee meant little that night as I cowered in my hammock(吊床) under the Central American stars. Now my mind turned every soft sound of waving leaves into a moving big cat full of murderous intent(probably to get back at the rude human who had interrupted its life.)And, if it wasn't a jaguar ready to attack, it was a poisonous snake, picking which of my bottoms to sink its long sharp tooth into.
Tiredness calmed my overactive imagination and I slept slightly. Next day, big surprise: no death by either snake bite or jaguar attack and injury. We packed up our stuff and continued toward our destination Mirador, the site of the tallest temple in the Mayan world.
Although we may have questioned why we had left a perfectly nice beach to come here, that night no doubts remained. Just before sunset we took our places at the top of the temple hill. A Mayan astrologer(占星家)had probably sat in the same place 2,000 years before and improved his knowledge of the Milky Way.
Tonight, as with every night, spectacular pink shades marked the western skyline. The sky darkened and, one by one, the stars shone with a soft light into life.
【1】What did the guide think of the jaguars?
A.They were difficult to find. B.They were aggressive killers.
C.They were tough to deal with. D.They had close relations with man.
【2】What does the underlined word “cowered” in Paragraph 2 most nearly mean?
A.Shrank. B.Skipped.
C.Relaxed. D.Danced.
【3】What message is the author trying to convey in the last paragraph?
A.We should show respect to nature.
B.Traveling in the jungle can be dangerous.
C.The ecology problem requires urgent attention.
D.The universe is lasting while human life is short.

24、Tips on How to Survive the Exam Season
When it comes to the exam season, a lot of you may feel stressed, depressed or even want to escape. Here we have pieces of advice to help you get it through.
【1】
During the semester, going to lectures and taking a lot of notes are the first steps in the learning process. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took during the week and run through your notes quickly,【2】 If yes, great. If not, you have a lot of time left to understand before the exams take place. You can ask a friend, a teacher, you can look it up on the Internet or go to a library. This takes a little effort, but the results are great.
Switch between different types of revision.
【3】 Something that really helps is to plan different types of active studying while revising. You can, for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on the summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.
Make the facts more relatable.
There are many different ways to do so. I'm going to give you two examples and the first one is to create vivid images, which can be really helpful for studying history.【4】 The second is to make yourself familiar with new words by looking for words that look alike in other languages.
Teach and learn outside of the classroom.
In my experience, teaching is the most efficient way of studying. By explaining the materials to yourself or to someone else, you'll remember them a lot better.【5】 The idea is to sit down and take turns explaining certain topics of the study material.
Test yourself with past papers.
At the end of the whole study process, you should prepare yourself to do past papers properly. Time yourself, don't cheat, and mark it as if it were your real exam. Pay attention to the mistakes and revise the part you didn't do well on until you can't get it wrong any more.
