21、 The practice of encouraging laughter with the sound of laughter itself dates back to the 16th century. During performances of Shakespearean plays, there were people who laughed at just the right moments. This would cause other members of the audience to laugh in a similar way, thus making the show seem funnier.
Centuries later, when comedy programs were popular on radio, the sound of a laughing audience was a natural part of performances that were aired live. To make sure his performances were aired at the same time in each time zone, actor Bing Crosby had his show prerecorded. Eventually, one of the show's writers realized that big laughs from old recordings could be added in to follow new jokes. So the world was introduced to canned laughter.
When TV came along, laugh tracks were recorded from the live studio audience that was present at a show. But sometimes, the audience didn't laugh at the expected time, making these moments seem dull to those watching at home. To fix this problem, TV audio engineer Charley Douglass invented a machine called the Laff Box.
Douglass' Laff Box was a collection of tapes connected to different keys. Each tape contained canned laughter that-was-carefully selected by Douglass for its particular quality. For example, one tape might have produced very soft laughs, while another produced loud cackles(咯咯笑). The machine could be played almost like a musical instrument: if the live audience didn't laugh enough, Douglass would “sweeten” the audio by adding the right amount and type of canned laughter. This technique could even be used when no audience was present, as with cartoons. Critics have long claimed that canned laughter is merely a trick to make people laugh at bad jokes. Live laugh tracks, however, can still be heard on popular modern shows like The Big Bang theory. Sometimes it's just more fun to share in the laughter - canned or otherwise.

22、Technology has changed almost everything. With the Internet and mobile phones, everyone is now connected. Mobile phones are no longer just a luxury (奢侈品). They have played an important part in people's lives. And today, there is a very long-standing debate about the use of mobile phones in the classroom.
First of all, mobile phones can keep students connected. With mobile phones, parents might be less worried since they can easily check on their children, and students can easily call their parents. Secondly, they encourage shared learning. Students can share notes and reminders faster and easier with mobile phones. Moreover, mobile phones can be used as memory support. Students can record their lessons by taking pictures and / or videos for future use. With smart phones, learning can also be more fun. Additionally, students can use their phones for taking down notes and creating reminders. Last but not least, smart phones are an excellent source of information. Students can search for information on the Internet, or use the dictionary and translation tools on their phones.
However, allowing students to use their mobile phones in the classroom has some big disadvantages. For example, students' attention can easily be drawn away when their phones ring, and the learning process comes to a complete stop when students start to send and read messages or make and receive calls. Moreover, with the appearance of smart phones, it is now easy for students to play on the Internet or shop online. Smart phones can also be used for cheating (作弊). Text messaging is the new note passing. Students can exchange test answers through text messages without the teacher knowing. Finally, mobile phones can cause health problems. Playing with phones for long periods of time can harm students' eyesight, and the radiation (辐射) emitted from mobile phones may be bad for students' health.

23、Peer pressure comes in when we get influenced by the lifestyles and the ways of thinking of our peers. Almost everyone, from different walks of life, must have experienced peer pressure in some way or the other at a given point in time. Every coin has two sides. Some people get positive influence from it whereas others tend to get negatively influenced.
On the one hand, peer pressure can actually leave a positive impact on your life if you carefully pick certain good habits from your peers. Your peers may teach you some good things about life and encourage you to follow them. For instance, if you see your peers doing something for a noble cause, you may also like to adopt their certain habit. This will help you to change yourself for the better. Adopting good habits of your peers can actually bring about a positive change not only in your life but also your way of thinking.
On the other hand, blindly following peers and not holding an opinion of your own might leave a negative impact on your life. There might be a particular idea, a habit, or a lifestyle which you personally dislike and would not like to accept. However, your peer group would want to force you to do something which is against your own will. Therefore, it is better to learn something from peer pressure by adopting good habits and avoid giving in to its negative side.
One of the easiest ways to get out of a peer induced situation is to simply say “NO” and walk away. You may not feel as cool at the time, but you will be thankful later on what you did. Take a stand for what you believe is right. Taking a stand is never easy, but it’s the right thing to do. Standing up for yourself demonstrates self-respect to your peers and is one of the key components of breaking the peer pressure cycle.
【1】What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?
A．Reserved.
B．Objective.
C．Critical.
D．Positive.
【2】How is Paragraph 2 developed?
A．By comparison.
B．By example.
C．By inference.
D．By experience.
【3】What suggestion does the author give to overcome peer pressure?
A．Go with the flow.
B．Escape from peers.
C．Submit to peers.
D．Stick to what is right.
【4】What is the text?
A．An official report.
B．A story description.
C．A phenomenon discussion.
D．A personal reflection.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
TCM Breaks New Ground
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is precious treasure of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress.
There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and Western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that cannot replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic (慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a shared opinion in Chinese society. The Chinese government has made policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.
As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.
