When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictinary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-cnstant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charlestn City Gazelle f Charlestn Ga first used it. “We d nt make the English language, and we merely recrd it,” the dictinary’s staff wrte in “Wrds f the Week”.
The wrd’s definitin, when we read it, wuld seem t be withut regard. Hwever, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nnstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. Accrding t Merriam-Webster,“Many peple find ‘irregardlless’ t be a ridiculus wrd, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; hwever, in this case it appears t make the meaning f ‘regardless’ strnger.”
“It’s nt a real wrd. I dn’t care what the dictinary says.” respnds authr Michelle Ray, wh teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning t mark “irregardless” as incrrect n her students’ wrk.
An American newspaper the Baltimre Sun, published the wrd in editr Jhn McIntyre’s cmmentary n Saturday: “ ‘Iregardless’ is als a wrd; yu just dn’t understand dictinaries. Peple get upset abut the dictinary because they think it is sme srt f fficial dcument. But actually, it’s nt . It’s just lexicgraphers (词典编撰者) identifying wrds that peple use and trying t find ut hw they are spelled, hw they are prnunced, what meanings they have and where they came frm.”
“The dictinary’s recgnitin desn’t enrll a wrd as crrect in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a wrd that a lt f peple use in English. And here’s what we knw abut it.” S it’s a wrd, but its use is still discuraged in frmal writing.
24．Why is the wrd included in the dictinary?
A．T recrd a new wrd “irregardless”.B．T criticize the use f “irregardless”.
C．T prmte the use f “irregardless”.D．T make a definitin f “irregardless”.
25．What can we learn frm the passage?

B．Michelle Ray thinks the use f “irregardless” frmal but incrrect.
C．Peple are still nt encuraged t use “irregardless” in frmal writing.
D．“Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-cnstant use befre 1975.
26．What is the attitude f McIntyre t the appearance f “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictinary?
A．Cnservative.B．Favrable.C．Indifferent.D．Ambiguus.
27．What can be the best title fr the passage?
A．“Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Frmal Writing

Nt nly des space travel present astrnauts with a lt f physical stresses, spending mnths r years in such a physically demanding place with limited space and the same peple can als raise lts f mental tests as well. Accrding t MIT Technlgy Review, scientists are wrking t ease sme f the mental challenges facing astrnauts by creating “an AI assistant that’s able t feel human emtin and respnd with empathy.”
While such a technlgy wuld prve itself useful by being able t predict the needs f the crew members in space and “intervene (介入) if their mental health is in danger,” it has the ptential t be life-saving when humans chse t explre beynd Earth’s gravitatinal (重力的,引力的) field and twards deep space.

The team’s final gal is t make a cmpanin named Fina the Future a reality, an emtinally intelligent crss-platfrm system. Rather than being limited t a physical rbtic device, it culd be digitally integrated int space statins and habitats n Mars and beynd. Fina, if all ges accrding t the JPL’s plans, will help keep astrnauts f the future mentally fit as they start their jurneys t deep space.
28．Why are the emtinal supprt rbts needed?

Eggs, bacn, bagels, and crissants, her favurite meal f the day sat right in frnt f her telling her t have mre, prbably just this ne day. Her hand reached ut fr the last crissant; “STOP” said her mind, “PLEASE” begged the nineteen-year-ld heart. Annie culd feel the tyres arund her waist, weighing her dwn, emtinally and physically. She pulled her hand back, eyeing the inviting crissant, which wuld have been hers, if nly she had nt decided t fllw her dream, a dream which seemed beynd her reach.
But there she was, she wanted it, and wanted it badly, a fantasy f a teenager t fit int the beautiful peacck green bikini. A trip had been planned, t the sunny beaches, by a grup f friends, and the trip included her. She used t sit depressed listening t her slim friends discuss abut the kind f clthes they purchased, and hw shrt each f their skirts were, and hw beautiful they lked. She wanted t see their expressin change frm surprise t admiratin, s she decided t g n diet and take fitness curses.
Weeks passed, and her patience started t die away. The fat was stubbrn and refused t melt fast, but the time went fast. N matter hw less she ate, she still lked awfully plump, which annyed her and she was ready t call it quits. She sat n her bed and wept an entire evening: ignring her dinner. Her tears dried up, and she lay dwn n her bed staring at the ceiling, letting randm thughts pass thrugh her mind. Then she heard tw wmen talking utside her windw. She heard ne wman saying: “My child is special, and every child is gd’s gift. It desn’t matter what’s n the utside, inner self is what matters.”
