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(公布于眾的)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（絢麗的）, 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．

People often hear each others' voices without ever seeing the faces they belong to. "Nowadays we are talking away on the phone without meeting people," says Seung-Jae Moon. And from business conference calls to chat lines, people often imagine they would recognize the speaker if they saw him or her. Seung-Jae Moon, a linguist of Korea found that, under certain conditions, they're actually right.

Moon decided to see just how close those mental pictures match up with reality and if there was any relation to how people speak rather than what they are saying. He recorded 16 Koreans, half men and half women, reading the same passage, and took a full-body photo and head shot of each speaker. Then he played the tapes for 361 Koreans and 173 Americans who did not speak Korean and asked his subjects to match up voice and picture. The Korean participants viewing full-body photos were quite perceptive. A majority linked 6 of the 8 women to the correct voice and did so for 5 of the 8 men. With the Korean group shown only faces, accuracy plummeted, but more than 20 percent of the subjects selected the same incorrect picture. The Americans showed no accuracy in matching the foreign voices to photos, but they too were consistent in their errors. That disconnection reveals conflicting ideas of physical and vocal beauty. Moon asked people to pick a favorite face and voice. Seventy percent of the Koreans picked one voice, but there was no agreement on a face. Americans didn' t agree on either count. And over 65 percent of both Koreans and Americans did not match their favorite face with their favorite voice.

Moon hopes to use software to break voices into components like pitch and hoarseness to narrow down which elements trigger certain mental pictures. "If we can map which characteristics of the voice triggers what kind of linage, and it doesn't matter whether that image is the right or wrong one of the actual speaker, then we can create an image through voice,' he says. That capacity could help to create computer-synthesized voices tailored to conjure up specific associations — audio books for children that inspire motherly visages, or warning alerts that bring to mind a stern police officer.

1.People often think that they would ______ the speaker when they saw the speaker.

A．understand        B．recognize         C．like              D．surprise

2.Moon decided to do the experiment to ______.

A．see how close mental pictures match up with reality

B．how people speak

C．see if there was any relation to how people speak rather than what they are saying

D．both A and C

3.He asked ______ Korean women to speak and recorded their voices.

A．12               B．16               C．8                D．10

4.______ were more perceptive in recognizing full-body photos.

A．The Koreans                           B．The American women

C．The Korean women                      D．The Americans

5.______ percent of Koreans and Americans matched their favorite face with their favorite voice.

A．Less than 65       B．Less than 35       C．Over 65           D．About 20

A solar pump(太陽能水泵 ) was built in a desert small village. The pump used the deserts most common resource – sunlight, to increase its greatest need, water. Solar collectors were used to collect the sun’s rays. Flat collectors were used instead of concave (凹的) collectors. Flat collectors can be still and do not have moving parts, which can be broken in sandstorms. The system used the 20C temperature difference between the solar collectors and the ground water to work a steam engine which pumped water from under the ground.

Some of the social effects of the new pump were planed for. Children aged 6—15 used to meet the old men to receive the informal education there. In order to replace this, a school was also included in the project. But the project had not considered the traditional power structure of the village. As soon as the foreign experts left, the two richest men in the village took control of the pump and started selling water to everyone else. The result was that the majority of the people were poorer than before.

16. The basic function of the solar collectors is to ______

        A. pump water           B. gather the sun’s rays 

        C. start engine            D. raise the temperature

    D. A solar pump is a solar collectors.

        A. some new pumps were to built ,too

        B. children from aged 6—15 were required to meet old men.

        C. a new school would take the place of the informal education.

        D. the richest men in the village would control the pump.

20. From this passage , it can be inferred that_____.

        A. the project was good , but people there disliked it.

        B. only few rich men supported the project.

        C. the project was successful even though it only brought good social effects to fewer villagers.
