21、 Recently a new network word “ghost” is popular on line, which refers to a sort of Internet social behavior that your net friends or loved ones don’t answer your online messages or phones on purpose as if leaving the earth. Thus you often wonder whether those chatters are ghosts or pretending to be dead. This behavior is called ghosting in the English world, which means “playing with disappearance”.
“Ghost” is better known as a noun referring to spirits of the dead, but “ghost” used as a verb which means “to disappear suddenly like a ghost”, or “play with disappearance” is relatively unknown. Finally, owing to its high using frequency online, this usage has been added to the Oxford Dictionary of Contemporary English.
Playing with disappearance or ghosting also has different grades. Wendy Walsh, a professor of psychology from Boston University told us, “There are different grades of ghosting: If you just read on social software but never answer, you are only a lightweight ghosting player; if you meet a person several times but try to avoid him, you are an ordinary ghosting player; if you let your partner fall in love with you, but you suddenly disappear; which will give the other a heavy blow, you are a heavyweight ghosting player.”
Why are some people accustomed to this kind of escapist social behavior? The Times reports that ghosting has a lot to do with how comfortable people feel and how they deal with their emotions. When they are in a complex interpersonal relationship, or it is too heavy for their weak mind to carry, they will have to choose to escape.
When you find yourself being ghosted, you may lose your self-respect, question yourself, or even hesitate to start the next friendship or love. How to get out of this emotional trouble? It’s important to remember that when you’re ghosted, it’s the other’s fault rather than yours. In addition, it’s good to risk telling others how you really feel, even if it’s not what they want to hear. Have you ever been ghosted? What do you think of this way of dealing with a relationship?
【1】Which sort of the following Internet social behavior can be described as ghosting?
A．Leaving your friend after a quarrel.
B．Love breaking up after a fight.
C．Missing after getting friends’ money.
D．Not replying to net friends on purpose.
【2】According to professor Walsh, if you just read but never reply online, you are a(n) ________ player.
A．heavyweight ghosting
B．non-ghosting
C．lightweight ghosting
D．ordinary ghosting
【3】Which paragraph tells us the reasons why people are used to ghosting?
A．Paragraph 2.
B．Paragraph 3.
C．Paragraph 4.
D．Paragraph 5.
【4】How should you deal with it when you are ghosted according to the writer?
A．Search out their identification on the Internet and reason with them.
B．Never blame yourself and pour out your trouble to others bravely.
C．Keep the trouble in mind and never tell others about it.
D．Turn to psychologists or police for help rather than feel upset.
22、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear.【1】. However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend. Here are three reasons.【2】Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends?【3】. If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action.

Now, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do?【4】.Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters (过山车)?【5】Same for horror movies.So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve your situation. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?

B．Don’t fear to be wrong.
C．They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.
D．It frightens us in a mostly safe way.

23、Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test?
Many students say that a lack of concentration(注意力)is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract(make less concentrated)you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it. Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees. Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months. Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too. When you arrive in the examination room find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
【1】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．You should study in a different place every day, so you don't get bored.
B．Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C．Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
D．Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
【2】What does the underlined word "it" refers to?
A．Your study desk or table.
B．Your textbook.
C．Your dictionary.
D．The equipment you need.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．You shouldn't look at everyone else during the test.
B．You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
C．You'll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
D．If you feel tired during study, you can't walk around for a few minutes.
【4】What is the most important points that the author wants to tell us?
A．How to get rid of bad study habbits.
B．What to do before an exam.
C．Where to study.
D．Test taking skills and study methods.
24、A wooden ship reaches the shore after crossing the Atlantic Ocean to this remote spot. The explorers aboard hope to establish a settlement here, in what is now Newfoundland, an island in eastern Canada. They’ll build homes and repair ships-perhaps preparing for more voyages farther into this unknown land. So who are these mysterious travelers? They are Vikings.
The word “Viking” means “pirate” (海盗) in their Old Norse language, and they lived up to the name. They were fierce invaders who lived between A. D. 750 and A. D. 1050, attacking lands outside their native Scandinavia (modern-day Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). Their voyages were recorded in stories called the Norse sagas (挪威传说).
The sagas tell of Vikings sailing west, likely toward Newfoundland. “Newfoundland has always been a focus in the search for Norse settlements,” Viking expert Neil Price says. “It’s one of the closest points to Greenland, where Vikings were known to trade.”
In 1960 archaeologists followed descriptions in the sagas to Newfoundland’s L’Anse aux Meadows. There they unearthed several artifacts, including foundations of longhouses, a type of building found in European Viking settlements. This made L’Anse aux Meadows the first confirmed Viking site in North America.
Archaeologist Sarah Parcak became interested in the search for North America Viking sites after the 1960 discovery. “If the sagas are true, then there must be other sites,” Parcak says. “But where are they?”
After studying the Canadian coastline, Parcak zeroed in on Point Rosee, some 400 miles south of L’Anse aux Meadows. Parcak’s team conducted a magnetic scan, or an X-ray of the ground. It showed high iron levels. Turns out that Vikings used iron to make their tools. Parcak’s team has done some digging, but they’re still waiting on test results to confirm what they’ve uncovered.
One thing they haven’t found is any flint (打火石) or pottery, which the Vikings did not use. Those items would’ve instead connected the site to Native American tribes or other European settlers.
If Parcak’s work confirms that Point Rosee was a Viking settlement, it helps fill in the map of where these explorers staked their claims. “A settlement there would suggest the Vikings explored more of North America,” Price says. “It might have served as a rest stop for trips farther south and west.”
【1】What can be learned from the passage about the Norse Sagas?
A．They were the first to refer to the Vikings as “pirates”.
B．They gave archaeologists clues about where the Vikings went.
C．They criticized the Vikings for their invasion into other countries.
D．They recorded the Vikings’ most voyages except those to America.
【2】What made Parcak’s team focus on Point Rosee?
A．Its being mentioned in the sagas.
B．Its unusual ground.
C．Its being close to the sea.
D．Its high iron levels.
【3】According to the Parcak, why is it important that they haven’t found flint or pottery?
A．It is evidence that Vikings may have lived there.
B．North America were not home to such advanced tools.
C．Flint or pottery turned out to be what the Vikings looked for.
D．The Vikings arrived long before flint or pottery came to be used.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Vikings turn out to be better explorers than we used to think.
B．New discoveries concerning Vikings throw light on their origin.
C．Archaeologists find a possible lost settlement of Vikings in Canada.
D．Stories about Vikings have been unearthed somewhere in North America.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
All through school, I had only one close friend. We spent years together, essentially joined at the hip. But then Greg moved away, and I never thought it would take more than 40 years to bring us together again.
As children, Greg and I dove into everything with passion. At that time, we were pure and kind, full of curiosity and expectation for life. We raced our bikes and illustrated our own comic books. We even became attracted to the same blonde girl from around the corner, a sixth-grader named Joanne who barely knew we existed.
The last time I saw Greg was sometime in 1966. It was so short a meeting that I couldn't recall saying goodbye before he moved. Since then, we lost touch.
But then, a few summers ago, I saw a familiar woman. "Excuse me. Would your name happen to be Joanne?”
“Uh, yes…” She didn't recognize me until I explained who I was. We hadn't exchanged more than a few dozen words in our entire lifetime. “Have you stayed in touch with Greg?” she asked. I was surprised she even knew of our friendship.
“No. I haven't,” I admitted. “I wish I had.”
Back at the cabin I checked my messages. I glanced at one email, and then read it from start to finish. The email was from Greg.
Greg had tracked me down through social media. He was now married, had two children and had become a musician and entrepreneur（企业家）. We exchanged several emails before connecting by phone. A month later, my wife and I drove to meet Greg and his family in person.
