(2018·陕西西北六校模拟)With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program!
The MerriamWebster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language”. The first meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life

or intelligence”. And it still has that meaning in some expressions.
However, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul of a dead person. This meaning is based on the idea that a person’s spirit and body are separate. The spirit can continue existing long after the body has died.
During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very simple：just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance. People use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.
The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. This is used when people lose color in their face. Sometimes this happens when a person is scared. But a bad cold or flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.
“Ghost” can also be a verb. In the 1880s the term “ghost” meant a person who works in secret for another person. Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. They also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional writers.
And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books, like the children’s stories based on the teenage detective Nancy Drew. The series began in 1930. The author given credit was Carolyn Keene. But she was not even real! Ghostwriters did all the work.
Another expression using “ghost” as a verb is simply to ghost. This does not mean to die. It means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye” to anyone. You can ghost from your job. You can ghost from a party. Yon can even ghost from a relationship. This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are simply no longer interested in them.
But I will not ghost from Words and Their Stories.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去养老院看望90岁的奶奶。在那里的一次舞会中，作者与养老院所有的老奶奶都跳了舞。
1．were 解析：考查动词时态。分析句子结构可知，此处为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词people；结合句意可知，从句的时态应与主句的时态保持一致。所以填were。
2．worse 解析：考查形容词比较级。What’s worse意思是“更糟糕的是”，相当于副词短语Even worse/Worse still。所以填worse。
3．to recognize 解析：考查非谓语动词。句型It takes(took) sb.some time (money) to do sth.意为“做某事需要花费某人一定的时间或金钱”。所以填to recognize。
4．but/yet 解析：考查连词。根据空处前后句子结构可知空处应该填一连词；结合空前的“not a big fan of dancing”和空后的“a big fan of Grandma”可知，空处前后有转折含义。所以填but/yet。
5．invitation 解析：考查名词。根据空前的“accepted her”可知，空处应该是名词作宾语，意思是“接受她的邀请”。所以填invitation。
6．sitting 解析：考查非谓语动词。从句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词作后置定语，且主语an old lady与动词sit是逻辑上的主谓关系。所以填sitting。
7．what 解析：考查疑问代词。根据“疑问代词＋不定式”结构及空前的knowing可知，空处应该填疑问代词，意思为“不知道说什么”。所以填what。
8．particularly 解析：考查副词。空后是介词短语with Grandma，介词短语只能用副词修饰。所以填particularly。
9．the 解析：考查冠词。根据句意可知，此处的party特指上文中的“a dance party”。所以填the。
10．her 解析：考查人称代词。根据空前的losing同时结合句意可知，空处应该填人称代词she的宾格her。
