For instance,the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs（名牌仿制品）.Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”,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(按揭贷款).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. 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 dictionarys chief editor,most of the firms editors were Chinese,while about one fourth were native-English speakers. “We dont 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 practicalthat is our main advantage,” she said.She added the dictionary also has a sidebar section that explains words which contain too much cultural information,like “hutong”, a traditional architecture style of Beijing.Kleeman said in the future newer updated versions will be only available online as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep up with.The online version will also offer a Chinese pronunciation guide. The online version,allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPhones,will be ready “as soon as possible”,Kleeman said.28.Why will Oxford Dictionary include popular new Chinese terms?A.To develop the international working language,English.B.To attract those who want to get a better understanding of Chinese.C.To keep up with the development of the world economy.D.To interest people and sell at a higher price.29.We can use the following words to describe this new dictionary EXCEPT_.A.accurate B.practical C.flowery D.native30.The newer updated versions will be only available online because_.A.they can keep up with the quickly changing languageB.book versions cant offer a Chinese pronunciation guideC.book versions are too expensive to buyD.they will allow access in different languages31.What can we learn from the text?A.Oxford Dictionary has a history of more than 100 decades.B.the word “shanzhai” can be only found in online versions.C.Most of the dictionarys editors are native English speakers.D.Oxford Dictionary will be modern,practical and multifunctional.DWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education priority (优先).This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it,it reflects their thinking and values,as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings talk to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,our discoveries,and our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music,we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering,celebration,the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.32.According to Paragraph 1,students_.A.disagree with their parents on education B.regard music as a way of entertainmentC.view music as an overlooked subject D.prefer the arts to science33.According to the passage,the arts and science_.A.explore different phenomena of the worldB.approach the world from different anglesC.express peoples feelings in different waysD.explain what it means to be human differently34.In Paragraph 2,the author uses jazz as an example to _.A.show music reflects a society B.compare it with rock musicC.introduce American musical traditions D.prove music influences peoples lifestyles35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Music is an effective communication tool.B.Music education makes students more imaginative.C.Music education deserves more attention.D.Music should be of top education priority.笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every single decision we make shapes our current reality. 36 So if youre unsatisfied with your life right now, making the effort to change your decisions will be the key to creating the life you want to have in the future.Realize the power of decision making. 37 When you decide to pick up a cigarette,that decision might result in you picking up another later on.But if you decide not to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention somewhere else, your desire will eventually weaken and you will become smokefree. 38 When you make a decision,act on it.Commit to making a real decision.What s a real decision It s when you decide on something,and that decision is carried out through action.Its pointless to make a decision in your head,but not doing anything about it.Thats the same as not making a decision at all.Tell others about your decisions.Sometimes telling other people what we re going to do will make us follow through.Ive been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible.So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6A.m.and stay up. 39 Have fun making decisions. 40 I know decision-making might not be a fun thing,but when you do it often,youll learn a lot about yourself on the way,and youll become more confident,and making decisions will just become so easier that you wont even think about it.A.Carry your decision out.B.Enjoy the process.C.Any decision you make causes a chain of events.D.Examine the decisions you now have.E.Before making a decision,you have to understand what a decision does.F.Within two days,I was able to accomplish doing this.G.But we often go through life unaware what actions we are taking.笫三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Ive read lots of stories about family memories.In those
