is it the harry potter series or secret garden? according to the guinness world records, the xinhua dictionary, published by the commercial press in china, is the worlds most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.in 1950, chinese language experts(专家) and scholars, wei jiangong and ye shengtao, started to edit(编辑) the xinhua dictionary. there was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, peoples daily reported. many peoples hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.in 1953, the first xinhua dictionary was published. today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.however, revisions (修订) to the dictionary continue to be made. according to yu guilin from commercial press, editors(编辑) usually summarize (总结) the meaning of words again while revising. if the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “to give a correct explanation of the word 焗油 (deep condition) , one editor went to a barber shop (理发店) to experience it for himself,” yu told the beijing times. so far, the xinhua dictionary has been revised 11 times.to keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. for example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “晒工资 (show off salary)” and “晒照片 (show off pictures)” were included.all these efforts create the “national dictionary” of china. the xinhua dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of chinese people. it also helps foreigners who are learning the chinese language and culture. 36. according to guinness world records, the best-selling book is _. a. secret gardenb. the harry potter series c. the xinhua dictionary d. guinness book of world records37. whats the meaning of the underlined word “scholars” in the second paragraph? a. 校长b. 学长c. 学生 d. 学者38. which of the following is not true about the first xinhua dictionary? a. the editors had a lot of discussions, did research and paper work. b. wei jiangong and ye shengtao edited it. c. the first xinhua dictionary was published in 1950. d. the editors checked the hand scripts again and again.39. while revising the dictionary, the editors _. a. just need to read and correct the printing mistakes b. have to change all the examples of the words c. have to go to a barber shop to experience deep conditioning d. make new examples for the words40. according to the article, the xinhua dictionary _. a. has to include internet wordsb. tries to keep up with the times c. is better than any other dictionaryd. is little help for foreign learnersc a good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. theres more to learn understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar. being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an ice-breaker for a language learner who wants to build friendships with native (当地的) speakers. “i always felt that humor was a ceiling (上限) that i could never break through(突破),” said hannah ashley, who once studied spanish in madrid. “i could never speak to people on the same level as i would speak to a native english speaker. i almost came across(被理解) as quite a boring person because all i could talk about was facts.” in fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. chinese-american comedian (喜剧演员) joe wong (huang xi) found this out first-hand (亲身经历). he had achieved great success doing stand-up comedy (美式单口相声) in the us, but when he returned to china in 2008 for his first live show in beijing, he discovered that his humor didnt translate. people didnt think his chinese jokes were as funny as his english ones.in australia, many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “the hardest jokes are related to rugby (橄榄球) because i know nothing about rugby,” said melody cao, who was once a student in australia. “when i heard jokes i didnt get, i just laughed along.” in the other two major english-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. british comedian simon peg believes that while britons use irony (讽刺)basically, saying something they dont mean to make a jokeevery day, people in the us dont see the point of using it so often. “british jokes tend to (倾向于) be more subtle (微妙的) and dark, while american jokes are direct with their meanings, a bit like americans themselves,” he wrote in a newspaper.41. by using the underlined sentence, the writer means that _. a. you need to learn about a culture to understand its jokes b. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better c. making jokes can help you form friendships with native speakers d. understanding jokes requires excellence(优点) in vocabulary and grammar42. what can we guess about hannah ashley? _ a. she feels confident in using spanish. b. she believes that its better to tell the facts than jokes. c. she thinks that spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor. d. not being able to understand their humor makes her seem boring to spanish people.43. joe wong is used as an example to _. a. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes b. show that there are cultural differences in humor c. show that your language ability influences your sense of humor d. suggest that bilingual people (双语者) have no problems making people laugh44. what are american jokes like?

with risk and excitement mixed together, skydiving might just change your life. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。46. how often do thousands of people try skydiving? _47. how many choices are there for the beginners?
