21、You are out with a few friends after a long day at the office. You are so relieved to be able to speak freely at last, with as much slang (俚语) as you like. Then another friend joins your group, contributing humorless and grammatically perfect sentences to the conversation. Are you at ease?

If you can imagine yourself in this situation, you can understand how a lot of young people feel when they receive a text with a big period (句号).

For the younger generation, using proper punctuation (标点) in an informal context like texting can give an impression of formality that borders on rudeness. The message-ending period establishes a certain distance. The punctuation is polite when you are speaking to someone older than you or above you at work, but unpleasant among friends. To put it simply, including a formality in informal communication makes people uncomfortable.

Think of a mother using her son’s full name when issuing a serious ultimatum (最后通牒). Or of an upset lover speaking to a partner in a cool, professional tone. People gain and express interpersonal comfort through unpolished self-presentation, and acting (or writing) too formally comes off as cold or distant.

It is also worth noting that more of our informal communication is digital now than ever before, so texting etiquette (礼仪) carries at least as much weight as speaking tone. It is generally accepted that many texters, especially young people, see end-of-message periods as unnecessary. It is clear that a message has ended regardless of its punctuation, because each message is in its own bubble. Thus, the message break has become the default (默认) full-stop.

This pressure to get one’s thoughts across increases when they are aware that the people that they are texting know they are typing—as with speech, both parties in the conversation are responsible for maintaining it To avoid keeping their friends waiting anxiously, therefore, texters send out single, often unpunctuated phrases rather than full sentences.

Adapting to this new custom may be difficult for older texters. However, this is not the first time that writers have repurposed standard punctuation. The new customs surrounding the period are just one episode in a centuries-long history of grammatical exploration.

【1】The two examples in Paragraph 4 are used to show ______.

A．using punctuation is practically rude

B．formality can create a certain distance

C．period is proper for elders and lovers to use

D．informal communication causes discomfort

【2】Why has the end-of-message period become unnecessary to young people?

A．More informal communication is digital now than before.

B．The message in its own bubble carries more significance.

C．They use unpunctuated sentences to keep a conversation going.

D．They want to escape the pressure of communicating their ideas.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the trend of changing punctuation standards?

A．Doubtful.

B．Critical.

C．Opposed.

D．Acceptable.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．No more periods when texting.

B．Periods or not, that’s a choice.

C．Standard punctuation when texting.

D．Texting etiquette among generations.

22、There are a number of different ways to learn how to repair a bicycle. Many people find that reading a book or looking online can give them the information they need. 【1】 Perhaps the quickest method of getting the hang of bicycle repair is to head to a library or bookstore and pick up a book on how to repair a bicycle. Most of these types of instructional books come with step-by-step descriptions and illustrations（插图）. 【2】 In addition, there are many online videos and informational websites that will provide similar information.

The advantage of these methods is that you can learn how to repair a bike on your own time schedule. 【3】 This type of learning by doing activity works well for people who want to store information by walking through the steps personally, rather than remembering what they see or hear.

Another way is to look into classes at the local vocational（职业的）school. As bike riding has become more popular in the last few years, courses in how to repair a bicycle have become more common. 【4】 This is a good choice for anyone who wants to learn bike repair, but would feel more comfortable doing so in a group setting.

A third way is to learn how to repair bicycles by getting a part time job at a bicycle shop. Here you can learn all the details of bicycle repair. The benefit of this type of learning situation is that experienced co-workers can interact with you on a one-on-one basis. 【5】

A．You can pick up a used bicycle to practice on.

B．Others take a class or learn on the job at a sales or repair shop.

C．If you are new to cycling, a beginner's bicycle repair class will suit you.

D．Generally, these classes are short-term，with six to eight periods to attend.

E．You will also learn early on what type of tools are needed to repair your bike.

F．The skills you will learn in a bicycle repair class may be different according to who is teaching the class.

G．This method will teach you a lot about bicycles, and also let you earn a few extra dollars at the same time.

23、   In China, poetry is an important part of the curriculum and, with recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education, the number of poems students will have to memorize and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy-two. Now, before you gasp in horror, let’s think about the reasons why studying so many poems, especially ancient poems, is important.

First of all, poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. 【1】It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to express—the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger. 【2】 .【3】In a few short lines, even something commonplace can become beautiful. Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes / on silent haunches (弓腰蹲着) / and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and mysteriously like a cat, and Sandberg captures that feeling and image, and makes it beautiful.

【4】 After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, especially Western poetry, was actually spoken before it was written. Take Homer’s Iliad, for example. The story was apparently told for hundreds of years in palaces and on street corners before Homer wrote it down.

The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” And poems are very concise—there is not a wasted word. 【5】

A.Few people read it for pleasure.

B.Poems can also express beauty.

C.Poetry is difficult to recite.

D.Of course, to really appreciate poetry, it has to be read aloud.

E.You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!

F.It is a pathway to understanding your history and your society.

G.A good poem can put those emotions into words and bring us self-understanding.
