16.China's new term,tuhao,may be in next year's Oxford English Dictionary.The word caught the attention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC's recent program on influential Chinese words."If its influence continues,it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,"said Julie Kleeman,project manager with the editing team.In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich.It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China's countryside.The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple's new gold-colored iPhone,which is loved by China's rich people.The color became known as"tuhao gold."The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words-dama and hukou-which may also make it into the dictionary.
People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin,Kleeman said,adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.
"We have nearly 120Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,"she said.Some of them are:Guanxi,which means"connection"; Taikonaut,a mix of taikong,meaning outer space,and astronaut.
The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive.The online version is also renewed every three months."It at least broke our old rules.It used to take 10years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,"according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.

解答 BADA
64.B 细节题.由第一段第二句"…BBC's recent program on influential Chinese words."可知B项正确.A项,由第一段第一句"China's new term,tuhao,may be in next year's Oxford English Dictionary."可知,"tuhao"一词将出现在明年出版的 Oxford English Dictionary 里,而并非如A项所述已经进入 Oxford English Dictionary,所以A项错误.C项,由第二段倒数第二句"The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it."可知C项错误.D项,由文章最后部分"'It at least broke our gold rules.It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,'according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson."可知,John Simpson 认为打破陈规可以与时俱进,所以他对此事是支持的,所以D项错误.故正确答案为B.
65.A 推断题.划线句及其前一句"In Chinese tu means uncouth(笨拙的) and hao means rich.It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China's countryside."意为"在汉语里‘土'为‘笨拙'之意,‘豪'为‘富有'之意.‘土豪'一词原指‘中国乡村里富有并 _____ 之人'",将四个选项依次代入,只有A项"对别人颐指气使/发号施令"最符合语境.B项"乐于助人",并不符合中国传统农村里有钱之人的特性,C项"节食",D项"增重",都与文章内容毫无关联.故正确答案为A.
66.D 细节题.由第二段第三句"The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple's gold-colored iPhone …"可知D项正确,故正确答案为D.
67.A 主旨题.文章主要讲一些中国新生词语的强大影响力以至于 Oxford English Dictionary 都计划收录它们,并主要以"tuhao"举例,所以A项正确.B项,文章对"pinyin"只是一笔带过,所以B项错误.
