21、Garden parties are one of the traditions that began in the United Kingdom and France a number of centuries ago. Both the British and French versions have roots in the weekend getaways that were enjoyed by the upper classes. In the afternoons and evenings, the grounds of the estates (房产) would be softly lit with candles and lanterns, food prepared and set in long buffet tables for the guests, and comfortable seating always within reach.
People tended to dress up for these types of outdoor events, which made them quite a festive occasion. String bands often provided a graceful melody that served as one of the ways that the elegant tone of the occasion was set and maintained.
Today, the concept lives on around the world. No longer just an event for the well to do, the garden party is a weekend gathering in many neighborhoods. Neighbors are invited to come enjoy the outdoors by attending a cookout, complete with plenty of grilled food, lots of seating, and usually plenty to drink. It is not unusual for a few simple games to be available as well, depending on the size of the space. Music does not necessarily have to be provided by a live band anymore, although some people prefer the chatter and laughter of people enjoying themselves to any type of musical accompaniment.
The modern version can be very free form, or use a special occasion or theme as the basis for the event. For example, a birthday is a great reason to throw this type of party. Major patriotic holidays often provide the theme, with the decorations revolving around the national colors and other symbols. Fun times, such as Valentine’s Day or and Easter egg hunt, can also be the reason for putting together a party. As long as the event takes place outdoors, has people to interact, and includes food and drink, the event is complete.

22、 A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.
If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr.Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure.Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use,he told New Scientist magazine.
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.
However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.
【1】Why did Dr.Elliott come up with the program?
A.To learn more about outer space.
B.To develop a new language.
C.To help translate the messages for aliens.
D.To compare an alien language to human languages.
【2】According to Dr.Elliott, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?
A.Coming up with a program. B.Knowing a structure.
C.Understanding aliens. D.Discovering aliens.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Some necessary conditions for making the program work.
B.Dr.Elliott’s findings about different kinds of languages.
C.Three important functions of the program.
D.The number of sentence structures of human languages.
【4】How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?
A.Mix the message with 60 human languages.
B.Translate the message and send it to the database.
C.Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.
D.Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.
【5】What can we infer from the story?
A.Not all languages have their own structure.
B.The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.
C.To translate alien languages, there is much work to do..
D.Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.
23、A social phobia (恐惧症) in an anxiety disorder with strong fear in social situations. 【1】 when other people are around. Here are some suggestions to overcome social phobia.
Learn to relax. People with a social phobia often have anticipatory (预期的) anxiety. 【2】. For this, we have to learn to relax instead of having the fear of the future situation.
【3】. If we always avoid social situations out of fear, it is very difficult for us to be able to overcome them. If we try to relate to the outside of our usual circle, we will feel more comfortable little by little. In this way, when a social event arrives that we want to attend or take part in, we will be better able to be comfortable in it.
Imagination can play tricks on us in social situations. In most cases you are afraid of things that have not happened or are not happening. 【4】.
Be yourself. To some degree, social phobia is caused by the belief that we have to be perfect as others expect. 【5】. So we do not have to focus so much on what others may think of us, but on feeling comfortable with ourselves without having to be perfect.
A．Look for social situations
B．Be imaginative in solving social issues
C．Perhaps you have a phobia about flying
D．We have to learn to accept and trust ourselves
E．In other words, they worry about the situation before it happens
F．We have to be worried about what we think others may be thinking of us
G．People with social phobia feel fear, as well as nervousness, pain or shyness
24、A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.
As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.
It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(链球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).
Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸张的语句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.
Police took the man into custody(监护). He will appear in court on Monday morning.
Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.
Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”
【1】How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?
A. Two B. Four C. Seven D. Eleven
【2】What is the text mainly about?
A. Usain Bolt along with seven other competitors
B. A female Dutch judoka sitting behind the starting area.
C. The lane belonging to Yohan Blake before 100 final.
D. A beer bottle thrown at Usain Bolt before 100 final.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the athletes for the 100-meter final?
A. Critical B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving D. Positive

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。
Karen, Judy and I were the last ones back in the school room after lunch. All of the other students were already outside, since it was a pleasant spring day.
“Look what I found this morning in the storage cupboard when I was getting out some art supplies for Mrs. Eiffler” . With a wicked (调皮的) smile on her face, Karen held up a wooden box filled with short pieces of chalk in every color of the rainbow.
“Wow! What fun it would be to write on the blackboard while everyone is outside!” Judy's eyes twinkled with expectation.
“But Mrs. Eiffler doesn't want us to write on the blackboard, I responded, already feeling guilty, although we had not yet done a thing.
“Don't be such a coward (胆小鬼)，Janet. No one will ever know. ” said Karen, reaching into the box and drawing out a piece of chalk.
I reluctantly joined my friends in the artwork, wanting to be part of what was going on, but afraid of being caught. I knew well that we were breaking not one, but two class rules. The second rule was that no one was allowed to stay inside at noon without a written excuse from home if the weather was nice.
Trying various colors, we drew houses, trees and three-dimensional boxes. It was fun!
Then Judy had an idea. “We're all right-handed. Let's see who can write her name best using her left hand.”
Judy and Karen picked up their chalk and started writing. I chose a white piece from the box and wrote my name. The handwriting was a bit shaky, but no one would doubt that it said “Janet”.
“I think Judy is the winner;” said Karen. “Hers is the best.”
“We'd better get this board cleaned off before Mrs. Eiffler comes back.” said Judy, eyeing the clock. She picked up an eraser and began erasing our handiwork from the board.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
Everything came off... But my name!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mrs. Eiffler never asked about the abrasion (磨损) on the blackboard and maybe never noticed it, but I did.
