21、   Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”？ It's like the promise of a sweet hereafter following what seems like a lifetime of toil (劳累). It's the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day - until by Friday, we're practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.

The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you're getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That's when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can erase any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.

That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd, there's even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even Monster.com - a website that specializes in yoking humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle -admits it's a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really bad” Sunday night blues.

For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can't stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resist - staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.

But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it's because the counter is reset, and the weekend, or happiness, seems at its furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don't much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don't leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.

【1】What do we know about weekend in paragraph2?

A．It is hard-earned.

B．It doesn't bring joy as expected.

C．It adds to people's anxiety.

D．It provides good time to relax.

【2】Why does the writer mention Monster.com in the text?

A．To support his idea.

B．To clarify a question.

C．To show its popularity.

D．To provide more information.

【3】What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?

A．Tolerant.

B．Conservative.

C．Practical.

D．Unwise.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Why Monday Takes a Bite Out of Sunday

B．Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays

C．Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult

D．Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives

22、For those looking for a relief from the excitement of Myrtle Beach’s representative boardwalk and beachfront, this uniquely American city has plenty more to offer. Here are four fantastic places you won’t want to skip when you visit Myrtle Beach.

Atalaya Castle

Hidden away in Huntington Beach State Park is the beautiful Atalaya Castle. Built in the 1930s, this castle is an amazing example of Great Depression-era architecture. With a rich and varied history — it’s been a military camp, a studio, a state park and now a national landmark — there’s plenty to explore at this incredible estate, where you are sure to feel relaxed.

Brookgreen Gardens

Just across the road from Atalaya Castle lies Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve covering 9,100 acres. For a relaxing afternoon, take a walk among the towering oaks (橡树) and breathtaking fountains and view the sculptures from great artists like Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk

Located away in an historic fishing village, the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is a half-mile stretch of boardwalk that winds through scenic wetlands. It also features year-round live music and delicious options for waterfront dining, so it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing evening out.

Myrtle Beach State Park

Myrtle Beach State Park follows one mile of wooded coastline and features a nature path, top-class surf fishing, a fishing wharf (码头) with an ice cream shop and an unspoiled beach. And for those seeking to escape from the stress of urban life, this is the ideal camping place to sleep under the stars.

23、   In this most unusual year, the gift of giving will feel especially good. These tips can help make the season merry and bright for everyone.

What’s Different This Year

Hot Ticket Items May Be Extra Hot: Some companies have scaled back their holiday ordering this year to trim inventory, so popular products might sell out fast — in stores and online. So if you see a good price for an item on your list, be sure to grab it. And plan to ship gifts at least two weeks before Christmas Eve.

Online Sales Will Start Early

This year, it maybe more like Cyber Season, with online promotions and sales starting right after Halloween. With concerns about crowds, retailers will likely save a lot of their inventory for online sales. To avoid parking lot chaos, try to pick up your purchases first thing in the morning or later in the evening, when wait times should be shorter.

Outlets Are Online Too

If one of your holiday shopping traditions is a trip to the outlets, you can still experience the thrill of the bargain hunt—from home. Shoppremiumoutlets.com is the virtual version of the country’s largest outlet company. In someways, it’s even better than an in-person trip because you can shop by item or category and immediately see what different retailers have in stock, rather than going store to store .

When to Shop

Not on Thanksgiving: Many stores that opened their doors on the holiday last year have announced that they will be closed this year. One upside for shoppers is rock-bottom prices as some stores liquidate (清仓). The downsides: They might not be around if you need to return something or use a gift card. In other words: Bankruptcy buyers beware.

【1】Which is the best time to send gifts?

A．October 30.

B．December 9.

C．December 15.

D．December 24.

【2】What can we learn about holiday shopping this year?

A．Shoppers can only buy items online.

B．Shopping on Thanksgiving is the best choice.

C．Popular products might sell out fast only in stores.

D．Shoppers may see a good price for an item right after Halloween.

【3】Who will be most interested in this passage?

A．People who are money-less.

B．People who like shopping at home.

C．People who are retailers.

D．People who are fond of bargains.

24、No spacecraft will ever land on the sun. the sun is a flaming ball of gas that reaches thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. But next year, a ship from Earth will fly closer to it than any man made craft has flown before. The mission(任务)is a big development for scientists and, maybe, for everyone else.

In September 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million miles, it will fly within 3.8 million miles of the sun. within two months of launching, the probe is expected to reach the sun’s corona(日冕). That’s the sun’s outer atmosphere of gases.

Getting there won’t be easy. Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the sun’s heat has proved difficult. But that hasn’t stopped engineers from trying. Temperatures in the corona can reach millions of degrees. The probe will limit itself to regions where things get no hotter than 2,500oF. That’s still a heavy heat load for a spacecraft. But a 4.5-inch-thick heat shield(罩)will protect the probe’s camera and scientific instruments.

NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars. Our sun is special to us. But as a star, it’s rather common. So the better we understand how it works, the better we understand all stars of its mass and color.

Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms. During solar storms, charged particles stream through the solar system. They can disable communications satellites and shut down powder systems. One study has found that a very intense solar storm could cause up to $2 trillion in damage in the US alone. It could also black out the East Coast for a year.

Understanding solar storms might allow us to predict them and protect ourselves. That could make even a mission with a billion-plus price tag one of NASA’s great bargains.

【1】What can we learn about the probe?

A. It’ll fly closer to the sun that the previous ones

B. It’s the first man made instrument to fly to the sun

C. It’ll get to the core of the sun in nearly two months

D. It’ll fly about 3.8 million miles to reach the corona.

【2】What is the challenge for the engineers?

A. Directing the probe to collect data

B. Reducing the temperature of the probe

C. Building a shield against the heat

D. Limiting the probe to proper regions

【3】What might be the best title?

A. Exploring the stars   B. Getting close to the sun

C. Designing a spaceship   D. Protecting the earth

【4】Where does the value of the mission lie?

A. Monitoring satellites   B. Exploring solar energy

C. Developing scientific instruments   D. Forecasting solar storms

25、Last July I got a job at a theater I admire. I was feeling lucky. But something, wasn't _________.

My daughter was going to leave for university in the fall and I wasn't _________ for her to go. Our household is small and tight-knit (关系亲密的). It's just the two of us.

I could touch the floor, and that was reassuring (安心的). I looked around to make sure the other people weren't watching my awkward strokes. "No one is watching," I ____________ to myself. No one cares if you look like a baby elephant swimming for the first time. No one cares if your heart ____________ when all of her things are packed up and she ____________. Somehow, in that moment, this was ____________.

I swam slowly from one end to the other, feeling a ____________. I found myself crying. Thankfully, no one could tell my ____________ from the water running down my face. Afterward, I headed for the changing rooms, smiling and feeling proud that 1 faced this ____________.

When I got home, my daughter said that 1 looked ____________.

The next day, 1 was up early, swimming bag in hand. 1 was ____________ afraid of drowning. I was breathing easier. I was feeling better.
