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 persons 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.3“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 childrens 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】 本文主要对“ghost”一词进行了深入探索。 4The basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is _ Athe secret of another person Bthe spirit of a dead person Cthe color of ones face Dthe origin of intelligence B B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第一句“However，today，the wordghostusually means the soul of a dead person.”可知，ghost 现在的基本含 义是“一个死人的灵魂” 。 5If someone says “you dont have a ghost of a chance to win the match” ，he means_ Awithout doubt you wont lose the match Bthe match is unlikely to happen Cits impossible for you to win the match Dyou are too scared to win the match C C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“People use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.”可知，题干中引号内的意思是“你 不可能赢得比赛” ，故选 C。 6What can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage? AKids dressed in a white cloth like ghosts can win a costume competition. BA bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness. CIt was Carolyn Keene who ghostwrote the childrens stories. DA person devoted to his job is unlikely to ghost from his job.
