The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to    1  students’ strong interest in computers?

Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different     2  giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is     3  about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.    4  ,?views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success     5  whether they can make use of computers effectively.

Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see    6  difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject    7  .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the    8  that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it     9  to see the policy through.

Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to    10  the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.

Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools    11  IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very     12  in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to    13  from the very beginning. They will become    14  and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have     15  all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching     16  or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then    17  the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his    18  through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning    19  .   20   the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.

The 115-year-old prestigious (有名望的)Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like“shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern Chinese language.

As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the Chinese language is forever developing, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet lively language.

For instance, the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs(名牌仿制品)of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos.

Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage slave” —a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities where well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage.

All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English –Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary that was unveiled(公布于众的)in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week.

The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month.This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation.Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press—worked together on the project.According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s editors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers.

“We don’t want to make it florid(绚丽的), we want it to be modern and conversational...many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use,” said Kleeman.“The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago...Precise, native and practical—that is our main advantage,” she said.

Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace.The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide.The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said.

1. According to the above passage, we learn that ________.

A.knockoffs can be found in China but not very often.

B.the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid.

C.most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English.

D.well-educated youth in China’s big cities have difficulty buying houses.

2. The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that ________.

A.book versions can’t keep up with the changes of language.

B.the computer network is available everywhere.

C.book versions can’t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide.

D.computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.New Chinese terms like “shanzhai” and “fangnu” have got into Oxford Dictionary.

B.The latest Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English Dictionary is on the market.

C.Oxford Dictionary has become more fashionable due to the Chinese language.

D.Beijing International Book Fair was where the new Oxford Dictionary was published

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.

We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.

The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.

49. If a person on Comera island is ill,      .

  A. others will phone the doctor in town

  B. whistle language will pass the news to the doctor

  C. his family will take him to the doctor

  D. people will take him to the hospital

50. From the passage we know radio and TV       at that time.

  A. killed the special way of speaking

  B. whistled all the news and opinions

  C. helped Comera people to communicate

  D. did not appear on Comera island yet

51. Comera island is special in that      .

  A. it attracts visitors every year

  B. no visitors have ever been there

  C. people there have special ears to hear whistles

  D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other

52. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

  A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.

  B. The whistle language can only be found in Comera.

  C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.

D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.

Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don’t have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States.  Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.    

I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn’t help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help hem succeed in the U.S. she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation was born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents’ country, they will probably feel different from other people there too. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.

We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children understand their background by teaching them the parents’ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity. 

According to the text, what is the problem of the first generation immigrants?

A. They have lost their identity.

B. Their children are losing their identity.

C. Their children speak different languages.

D. They cannot speak their native language.

My aunt taught her children Korean____.

A. so that they knew they were of Korean origin

B. so that they would be more successful in the U.S.

C. because she didn’t want them to speak English

D. because she wanted them to respect her

The writer’s cousins felt different in their parents’ country because they____.

A. had never been there before        B. behaved quite differently

C. couldn’t understand the language    D. had different facial appearance

According to the text, the native language is important and valuable to immigrants in that____.

A. it gives them self-confidence and better chance

B. t makes the second generation love motherland

C. it helps the second generation to understand their parents

D. it strengthens the family ties and reminds them of their identity (BCABD)
