21、阅读理解。

The Japanese like parties.From ancient times, a party becomes enlivened (活泼) when someone starts singing and others keep applauding.Having such a custom, the Japanese can easily sing in front of others without feeling embarrassed.This seems to be one of the reasons that karaoke has been largely accepted in Japanese society.

It is now widely recognized that the use of karaoke started at a snack bar in Kobe City, one of the three biggest cities in Japan.It is said that when a guitarist could not come to perform at the bar due to illness, the owner of the bar prepared tapes of accompaniment recordings, and people enjoyed singing to the tapes.

It was at that time that karaoke appeared.Holding a microphone and singing a song to the accompaniment of an “orchestra (管弦乐队)”， you can feel like a professional singer.For soldiers living in a stressful society, there is no other entertainment activity that can make them feel so refreshed.

It is a typical way to relax for Japanese businessmen.They use it to take away their stress after work.However, there is an obstacle to this: since most Japanese houses are still made of wood, it would be very annoying to the neighbors to sing into a microphone at night.Seizing upon the opportunity, businessmen created the karaoke box, a roadside facility containing karaoke equipment.Karaoke boxes are soundproofed rooms, closed with a door, placed on roadsides where people can sing.The first “Karaoke box” was placed in a rice camp in the countryside in 1984.It was built from a converted freight car (改装的货运车).Now, the karaoke boom has even spread abroad and it has also been attracting the attention of the countries trying to improve their literacy rate (识字率) as a good educational tool.

22、   All my friends at school smoked.My dad smoked; he didn’ t want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid.They asked when I was going to grow up.So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn’ t stop.But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me.I couldn’ t run far, and I coughed every morning.I got very ill and decided to stop.It wasn’ t easy, but now I’ ve done it, and I feel better.Now I have money for other things.

If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack.And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be.For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.

What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure.The cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood.

Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen.Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.

So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy – – not to smoke.Don’ t copy your friends and other people who smoke.If you smoke, find out how to stop.Stopping isn’ t easy, but you’ ll be healthier, and…

24、After graduating from college, Tan Minyan decided to become a cemetery custodian (守墓人).

“With four colleagues, I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships,” the 22-year-old girl shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory (宿舍) and canteen are in the same building, the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.” Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.

According to the survey by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they bad mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.

Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing, is one of them. The 29-year-old young man told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school. To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.

“The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close,” he told China Daily. “Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.”

Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted (内向的), la ck confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic (生成创伤的) interpersonal relationships. Wang also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.

According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.

【1】Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?

A．To suggest an alternative career path.

B．To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.

C．To illustrate what young people value in their work.

D．To present people’s attitudes toward her profession.

【2】What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder?

A．They are unwilling to help others.

B．They find it hard to do everyday tasks.

C．They feel uneasy when asking for favors.

D．They always feel curious in public places.

【3】What does the underlined word “trivial” most probably mean?

A．Urgent.

B．Influential.

C．Unimportant.

D．Complicated.

【4】What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?

A．Join a social anxiety support group.

B．Go outside to relax themselves.

C．Seek help from a professional.

D．Engage in more social activities.

【5】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Tan Minyan feels as if she has retired early.

B．More than 4,000 college students questioned had mild social anxiety disorder.

C．People with the social anxiety disorder could speak confidently in front of large groups.

D．Most of the people with social anxiety disorder are introverted.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为80左右。

As Christmas was coming, girls were seen huddling (聚集) in the classroom and cheerfully whispering about what gifts to give to their friends. Giving and sharing is always the topic at this time of year. Everyone's face glowed with hope, expecting surprises. At lunchtime, Lisa and her friend Jasmine were talking about where they were going to spend the holiday. Jasmine blurted out, "Lisa, I've got a great idea. When I comeback from New York, I am going to bring you the best chocolate in the world." Lisa was greatly moved but embarrassed, "Um, I will just stay at home because my family cannot afford to go anywhere. But I promise I will give you the best gift I have ever had."

Lisa went back home for Christmas and told her mother about the talk with her best friend at school. "But I can't give you extra money because the Christmas food has already cost us a lot. You can buy a gift with the coins in your piggy bank," Mom suggested. Lisa thought it was a great idea and went to a gift shop and bought a pair of gloves with roses and golden silk with all the money she had. She had never worn such beautiful gloves. All she had was a pair of old ones knitted by her mother. She admired the glistening new gloves with smiley eyes, believing Jasmine would be very happy when she handed them to her.

When the holiday was over, Lisa happily went back to school and waited at the table for Jasmine to join her for lunch.

A few minutes later, Jasmine walked towards her with nothing in her hands.
