13.The revised edition of the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese has just been released,with more than 100new terms added to it.The new terms include weixin,or WeChat etc.There are also some older words recently used again and repurposed for contemporary(当代的) use,such as tuhao.Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel,tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in China:people who are"extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values."
But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut,while other popular terms were shut out?Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi,shengnü,and baifumei.
Li Xingjian,the chief editor of the dictionary,said about 30language experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms.They took into account three main considerations:whether the term has entered public topic,whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a minimum level of tastefulness.
"We considered and discussed a huge list,"Mr.Li said."A term like diaosi is not very tasteful,and it's unlikely to be used for much longer.And shengnü,we thought it wasn't that significant.It's used a lot by young people online,but otherwise people don't really use it."
"On the other hand,tuhao has always been around.It has a mocking(嘲弄的) meaning,but it's not necessarily negative,"he said."We think it'll stay around for a while,because in real life there really are these kinds of people and therefore a need to describe them."
The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese,first published in 2004,is appreciated especially by scholars and those interested in contemporary usage.But it is not the first reference dictionary in China.That honor still goes to the New China Character Dictionary and the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary.Every five years,the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised,with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones.

A.Select.
B.Exclude.
C.Replace.
D.Explain.
67.How many aspects were taken into consideration to choose the new terms for the dictionary?B
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
68.Why was shengnü not chosen into the new Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese?D
A.Because it is never used in their daily life.
B.Because it is not popular on the Internet these days.
C.Because it is neither tasteful nor likely to endure long.
D.Because it is not so important and is mainly used online by young people.
69.Which is NOT True according to the passage?B
A.The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese was first published in 2004.
B.The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is the first reference dictionary.
C.The term tuhao will exist for some time.
D.About 30language experts worked for over three years to choose the new terms.

B.People think differently about the newly chosen terms.
C.Many new terms were chosen into the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese.

Radio began as a point-to-point communication device.In 1919,Radio Corporation of American would charge a fee if you sent a message from one radio to another.Either the senders or the recipients pay the fee.The purpose was basically to undercut the telegraph,and they made their money(51)C,not by providing radio as a (52)B but by selling hardware.
In about 1922,radio (53)A into a broadcast mechanism.For broadcasting,in the simple sense,there was a(54)D and it broadcast,and lots of people could hear it.But broadcasting was seen as a way to drive business to the radio hardware makers.The stations were(55)C by people who made radios or (56)A,by churches and universities that wanted to get their(57)B out but weren't going to make money.
And there was a lot of stuff which sounds very (58)C today about how this medium was going to(59)D.And in the 20s,Radio Broadcast Magazine (60)A a $500prize for the best essay that answered the question:"Who is going to pay for broadcasting,and how?"The winner suggested a (61)B on radio listeners.Now,it sounds a little strange to us,but that's actually the British model.The BBC supports itself by a tax on TV and radio sets.
There was some discussion about(62)B,and Herbert Hoover,the Secretary of Commerce then,was strongly against this idea.He said it was (63)D that we should allow so great a possibility for service (64)C by advertising chatter.The Commerce Department was(65)A radio at the time.After the creation of national radio networks then the pressure-advertisers wanted to go on with it,people who owned the radio network wanted to sell ads,and that's how radio developed as an advertising medium.

8.Holi,also called the Festival of Colors,is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India,Nepal,Bangladesh.It is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month.
Holi originally was a festival to celebrate good harvests.It developed to honor a legend from the Hindu Mythology(神话).The story focuses on a cruel king,who hated his son,Prahlada.He attempted to kill his son but failed each time.Finally,the king asked his sister Holika,who was said to be safe in fire,to get rid of his son.However,when the aunt tried to burn Prahlada,it was the prince who ended up being safe in fire while the aunt herself was burnt to death.Holi honors this event every year and huge bonfires(篝火)are burnt on the eve of Holi.The festival spreads over 16days.During these days people often have fun and play with colored powder and water.Holi is also celebrated with exciting parades which are companied by folk songs and dances.
The festival begins on the night of the full moon.Bonfires are lit on street corners to drive away the air of evil spirits and bad feelings,and to symbolize the destruction of bad Holika,after whom the festival was named.In the morning,the streets are filled with people running,shouting and laughing.
At noon,the craziness comes to an end and everyone heads to either the river or the bathroom,then relaxes and enjoys candies.A tired and contented silence falls over India.

2.Law enforcement agencies across the United States are using cameras to take pictures of automobile license plates.The idea is to build a computerized collection of information detailing the daily travel of millions of Americans.
      Detective Mohammed Tabibi uses a license plate reader,also known as a LPR to look for stolen vehicles."It has somewhat paid.We have caught some people involved in some serious crimes because of the LPR,"said Tabibi.
      The use of LPRs is growing across the United States.Some are fixed to poles along Roadsides,others are placed in law-enforcement vehicles.Privacy groups are concerned about the growing use of these devices.Jay Stanley is with the American Civil Liberties Union  ( ACLU)."What they  are  also doing  is  storing everybody's time,place,and  location.And  many police departments are holding that information indefinitely.You know in our society,the government doesn't follow you and invade your privacy and track you unless it has a specific  reason that you are involved in wrongdoing,"said Stanley.
      Kevin Rearden served as Captain of the Arlington county Police,who also headed the county's Homeland Security Department before he retired.He said county policy called for the  LPR information to be kept for six months."We originally had a two-month period,and the  detectives requested the chief extend it to six months because they found in so many investigations,keeping it for two months wasn't long enough,"said Rearden,"but other law  enforcement agencies that use the information may store it for unlimited periods of time."
     Supporters of privacy rights say they have no problem with police departments taking pictures of license plates to investigate crimes.But Jay Stanley says they're against storing the  information for long periods of time.
     However,Captain Rearden disagrees,"They  keep saying the word'tracking'.I would be  lucky if I could find you in a few places in Arlington at a particular time.By no stretch of the  imagination would I be able to track you."

3.As a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to life in the United States,an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder.
Project X is a program that uses drama,dance,poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers.A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.
Wanjiru Kamau,coordinator of White Oak's African Club said it's important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school."It comforts those who are uncomfortable,and it discomforts those who are comfortable,"Kamau said of Project X.
Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems,such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk.When most of the kids join the club,they speak little or no English,Kamau said.Each week,the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X programme.
"We are going to express ourselves through our words and our actions,and that's powerful,"said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.
One student,Frank Ketchouang,13,wrote,"I am from the world; I am love,"which drew oohs and aahs from the group.Ketchouang has been in the United States for less than a year,said Program Coordinator Chad Dike.When Ketchouang started attending Project X,he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English.Now he's one of the group's most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group's newest member,who is from Haiti.
Many people will give up when there's a language barrier,"but these students prove them wrong".Kamau said."You do have something to give.You are important.When TV,media,etc.are bringing them down,this program is bringing them up."

41.Project X is intended for helping the young African immigrants toC.
A.get over language barriers                   B.enrich after-school life
C.overcome tough problems                      D.become more creative
42.How well the members learn in the Project X program is shown byA.
A.their annual creative performances          B.their annual scores gained at school
C.the comments of friends and family          D.the comments of the program teachers
43.What do we know about the Imagination Stage?B
A.It's established by Kamau for Project X.
B.It's a cooperative partner of White Oak'S African Club.
C.It's a project designed by White Oak Middle School.
D.It's operated once at the end of each year.
44.According to the author,what Franck Ketchouang wrote wasC.
A.silly        B.simple      C.excellent     D.contradictory
45.The passage is written mainly toA.
A.introduce the Project X program           B.inspire immigrants to never give up
C.advocate White Oak'S African Club        D.call for more attention to immigrants.
