阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
US president Donald Trump has popularized the phrase “fake news” But not too long ago these words in combination would have meant little to everyday English speakers.
Anatoly Liberman, a German, writes about the origins of the word “fake”. The word, it turns out, has a very dark

past. The best guess for how “fake” became mainstream, argues Liberman, is that it was a kind used by thieves in the London underworld. But“how it got there, nobody in the world knows, and probably nobody will ever know,” he tells Quartz.
Liberman is a professor at the University of Minnesota and the author of Word Origins and How We Know Them. He writes that early records of “fake” as an English adjective appeared around the middle of the 18th century. The word likely comes from cant, or thief jargon(行话).
The OED mentions “fake” as a verb starting in 1819, which basically meant‘to do”in jargon, but also“to kill , wound, or rob”. An entry from a dictionary that year reads :
“To fake any person or place, to rob them ;to fake a person may also imply to shoot, wound, or cut; to fake a man out and out, is to kill him.”
Liberman traces the word next to Chares Dickens, who used “cly-faker”，where “cly” means pocket, in Oliver Twist. This is how he believes knowledge of “fake”as a word that means to steal, spread. Eventually it became a commonplace English word.
21. The underlined word “fake” in Paragraph 1 probably means . A. lying B. true C. common D. interesting
22. What can we learn about Anatoly Liberman? A. He is skilled in some foreign languages. B. He is interested in all the English words. C. He lived in England for a long time.
D. He likes writing articles in English very much. 23. What is mainly discussed in this passage? A. The history of English words. B. Some stories about English words. C. The importance of the English word “fake” D. The origins of an English word. 24. What can we infer from this passage? A. We must focus on the words of Donald Trump.

B. We should study English words very carefully.
C. “Fake” likely comes from words used by a class of people. D. Anatoly Liberman likes to trace the commonplace English words.
B
Competition occurs naturally between living beings which co-exist in the same environment. In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣). Others say that competition is bad ;that it sets one person against another ;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success, he development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in die desire to succeed, others lake an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.
Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse :”I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove them-selves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition. 25. Which is the main point of this passage?
A. Competition is an interesting experience in one’s life. B. Competition is helpful to set up self-respect.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Different opinions about competition among people. 26. Why do some people value competition highly? A. They think it makes nations become rich. B. They think it helps to improve people’s abilities. C. They think it has the duty to push society forward.
