popular new chinese terms like “shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern chinese languageas china plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the chinese language is forever evolving, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant（充满生气的）languagefor 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 logosanother new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage （按揭） slave” a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities whereby well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgageall these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new oxford english-chinese,chinese-english dictionary that was unveiled(被揭去面罩) in the recently concluded beijing international book fair last weekthe dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this monththis dictionary is the largest single volume english-chinese, chinese-english dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparationsixty editors from the oxford university press and its partner in chinathe foreign language teaching and research pressworked together on the projectaccording 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 conversationalmany 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 agoprecise, native and practicalthat is our core advantage,” she saidkleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pacethe online version will also offer a chinese phonetic pronunciation guidethe online version, allowing access via different platforms from the pc to the ipad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, kleeman said63according to kleeman, one of the features that make oxford dictionary from other ones is that _ait has a long history of 115 yearsbit includes ancient but vibrant languagecit is the largest english dictionary ever publisheddit offers native, precise and practical language 64according to the above passage, we learn that _awell-educated youth in chinas big cities have difficulty buying housesbthe oxford university press made the dictionary without outside aidcmost chinese editors are also native speakers of englishdknockoffs can be found in china but not very often65the possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that _athe computer network is available everywherebbook versions cant keep up with the changes of languagecbook versions cant offer a chinese phonetic pronunciation guidedcomputer technology like the pc and the ipad keeps pace with language66what is the main idea of the passage?athe latest oxford english-chinese, chinese-english dictionary is on the marketbnew chinese terms like “shanzhai” and “fangnu” have got into oxford dictionarycoxford dictionary has become more fashionable due to the chinese languagedbeijing international book fair was where the new

university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called unplugged. it was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours. unplugged is being run by dr roman gerodimos，a lecturer in communication and journalism at bournemouth university. during the experiment，dr gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. he said：“theyre reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected. ”during their 24-hour test，three of the experiments participants were followed around by a bbc reporter plus cameraman. they were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. elliot day wrote：“today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. despite being aware of the social importance of the media, i was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers. ”from caroline scott，we read：“i didnt expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usuali didnt break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but its not something l would like to do again！”and charlotte gay wrote：“i have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device，its my main access point of communication. ”earlier in the year, a uk government study found that in the uk we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. so, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time
