All authrities n the style f English essays agree that gd writing is brief. Careful writers say what they mean in as few wrds as pssible.
A classic statement f this principle appears in the famus little bk f William Strunk, Jr., and E. B. White, The Elements f Style :“Vigrus(有力的) writing is brief. A sentence shuld cntain n unnecessary wrds, a paragraph n unnecessary sentences, fr the same reasn that a drawing shuld have n unnecessary lines and a machine n unnecessary parts.”
It fllws that any wrds which perfrm n useful functin in the sentence——that is, which add nthing t the meaning——shuld be edited ut.
Almst every text that has been translated int English frm Chinese,(r that has been written directly in English by a native speaker f Chinese) cntains unnecessary wrds Draft translatins are cmmnly full f them, and even plished final versins are rarely free f them.
Read anything that has been published in English fr freign readers——a magazine article, a news stry, an advertisement——and yu are likely t find unnecessary wrds. Re ‘even the shrtest f English texts——the label n a fd prduct, a billbard n the street,’: cmpany name n the frnt f a building——and, if yu are n the alert t recgnize the chances are that yu will find wrds that culd and shuld have been left ut. Unnecessary wrds are the typical quality f Chinglish.
Unnecessary wrds can be any part f speech——nuns, verbs, adjectives, adverb prepsitins, articles(冠词), and s n. In the fllwing chapters we shall cnsider the 'imprtant types, starting with unnecessary nuns and verbs, which ften g hand in he
28. What des the bk The Elements f Style advcate?
A. A sentence shuld be as shrt as pssible.
B. Unnecessary wrds shuldn't be in a sentence.
C. A drawing shuld have vivid clrs.
D, A machine shuld functin perfectly.
29. What is the main idea f the last three paragraphs?
A. Unnecessary wrds is a cmmn issue.
B. Only Chinglish cntains unnecessary wrds.
C. Readers shuld be careful abut unnecessary wrds.
D. Plished sentences culd avid unnecessary wrds.
30. What is the authr's attitude twards unnecessary wrds?
A. Tlerant. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.
31. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing desn't cntain unnecessary wrds?
A. ... t accelerate the speed f ecnmic refrm,
B. ... there have been gd harvests in agriculture.
C. We shuld adpt a series f measures t ensure that. ..
D. ... living standards in urban and rural areas cntinued t rise.

Several years ag, nt lng after we welcmed a puppy int the family, my. shulder became stiff(僵硬) and sre. It quickly changed int “frzen. shulder”——a cnditin that cmmnly strikes wmen in their 40s and can be triggered(触发) by repetitive pressure. I assumed it was frm the dgs cnstantly pulling n their leads like an ut-f-cntrl y-y(溜溜球).
My husband f nearly tw decades was, f curse, sympathetic abut the burning pain that sht dwn my arm whenever I reached fr smething slightly ut f range. But then, a few mnths later, a strange thing happened: my husband develped a frzen shulder in his left arm, t. It wasn't frm the dgs——I did mst f the walking.
I wuld have chalked it up t cincidence, but when I started experiencing:tendnitis6肌腱炎) in my right arm last year—likely a result f t many hurs spent n my laptp——my husband began cmplaining abut pain in his arm at the same time, and he rarely sits at; a desk all day lng. What were the chances?
A quick Ggle search turned up a stry abut hw lng-term cuples have a tendency t becme very similar in health ver time. “Peple have been aware f this phenmenn fr the last half century—that we're cnnected——but nw we have sme methds t begin t mdel these dynamics(相互作用) in new ways,” says Shannn Mejia, an assistant prfessr f the University f Illinis Urbana-Champaign.
T explain hw my husband and I bth became stricken with a frzen shulder within mnths f each ther, Prfessr Mejia suspects that the same behaviur ver the years might have led t similarities in psture and fragility, which culd have resulted in the same shulder injury. Called “pstural synchrny(同步性)”in psychlgy circles, urs is a mre extreme case f tw peple whse feet fall int step while walking r wh lean int ne anther like mirrr images t shw interest n a date.
32. Why des the authr mentin the cuple's similar symptms in the beginning?

C. T satisfy the readers. D. T illustrate her pint.
8. What des the underlined expressin“ chalk it up t ” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prevent. B. Ignre.
C. Blame. D. Tackle.
Accrding t Prfessr Mejia, what accunted fr the cuple's similar symptms?
A. Naughty pets. B. Deep devtin.
C. Strng beliefs, D. Identical lifestyle.
35. What is the best title fr this passage?
A. Serius Issues Between Cuples
B. Appraching Science.
C. Great Cuples Feel Alike
D. A Mystery T Be Addressed
