english dictionary was also one of its most unusual. in 1879,oxford university in england asked prof. james murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the english language. it would include every english word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used.this was a huge task, so murray had to find volunteers from britain, the united states, and the british colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in english. hundreds of volunteers responded, including william chester minor. dr. minor was an american surgeon who had served in the civil war and was now living in england. he gave his address as broadmoor, crowthorne ,berkshire, 50 miles from oxford.minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to murray. over the next 17 years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors.but he was also a mystery. in spite of many invitations ,he would always decline to visit oxford. so in 1897, murray finally decided to travel to crowthorne himself. when he arrived, he found minor locked in a book-lined cell at the broadmoor asylum(精神病院)for the griminally insane.murray and minor became friends, sharing their love of words. minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. murray continued to visit minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.in 1910, minor left broadmoor for an asylum in his native america. murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the oxford english dictionary was completed. the 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 56.according to the text, the first oxford english dictionary a. came out before minor diedb. was edited by an american volunteerc. included the english words invented by murrayd. was intended to be the most ambitious english dictionary57. how did dr. minor contribute to the dictionary? a. he helped murray to find hundreds of volunteers. b. he sent newspapers, magazines and books to murray. c. he provided a great number of words and quotations. d. he went to england to work with murray.58.why did dr. minor

the rules., plan- ning your next move, acting as a team member., these are all game ideas that you will come across throughout your life.think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide- and-seek. such games are entertaining and fun. but perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .many childrens games have a practical side. children around the world play games that pre- pare them for work they will do as grown-ups. for instance, some saudi arabian children play a game called bones. which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.many sports encourage national or local pride. the most famous games of all, the olympic games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. peo- ple who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. for countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an olympic win can mean so much.sports are also an event that unites people. soccer is the most popular sport in the world. people on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. nicolette iribarne, a californi- an soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. he created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 61.through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to a. be a team leader b. obey

from the passage?a. games benefit people all their lives. b. sports can get all athletes together. c. people are advised to play games for fun. d. sports increase a countrys competitiveness. cin the past two decades, the chinese economy has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. these reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to chinese citizens, now, researchers at the university of missouri (mu)have found about 30 percent of chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit card adoption has been an average of 40 percent per year between 2004 and 2009. rui yao, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at mu, says that this large growth in such a small amount of time has positive and negative implications for the chinese economy. with more and more people taking advantage of credit in china, it certainly increases potential consumer buying power, yao said. however, we found that more than 90 percent of noncredit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60 percent had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt. thus lack of knowledge could create problems as credit card ownership is expected to grow at a rate of 1 percent a year. yao found that would 72 percent of chinese credit card holders were never late on their payments, only 55 percent were able to pay the full balance. she also found that 70 percent of clones credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending. yao believes the chinese could benefit from facial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is important for the chinese economy. appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases. yao said.66. why did china allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to chinese citizens? a. to increase chinese citizens confidence in economy. b. to improve competitiveness in the international market. c. to respond to the urgent demand for financial reforms. d. to persuade more chinese citizens to accept credit cards.67. what is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? a. the potential market purchases in. the future. b. weaknesses caused by lack of credit risks. c. advantages and disadvantages of using credit. d. the rapid growth in credit card ownership.68. a lot of figures are used in the text in order to _ a. provide concrete evidence b. record the valuable data c. introduce a research method d. give a detailed description69. the underlined word spur in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _ a. control b. promote c. delay d. discourage70. it can be inferred from the text that _ a. overspending is mainly brought about by credit cards b. education is the only solution to future financial issues c. some chinese citizens lack knowledge of credit risks d. most chinese credit card holders cant pay the balancedmany people have low iron in their blood. but pregnant women need extra iron for their own health and their babys health. iron is important to the development of a babys brain and central nervous system.in poor countries, however, providing all pregnant women with iron supplements (补品)can be a financial issue. some experts say giving supplements to babies after they are born is enough.someone who disagrees is parul christian,a nutritionist at the johns hopkins school of public health in maryland. she and other scientists have been doing research in nepal. she says their latest findings should settle any question about the value of making sure every pregnant woman receives iron supplements.iron is a micronutrient(微营养素). micronutrients are important substances that are found in small amounts in foods.the researchers first completed a study among poor women in nepal ten years ago. during pregnancy some of the women received supplements containing iron and another micronutrient,folic acid.professor christian says that study showed the supplements could improve child survival.now the children are older. the researchers returned to nepal and tested their neurological (神经的 )development. they found improved intellectual (智力的)and fine motor abilities among those whose mothers had received iron and folic acid during pregnancy and for three months after.the findings appear in the journal of the american medical association.another new study, published in the journal pediatrics,looks at levels of vitamin d in babies. it says newborns with the lowest levels were twice as likely to develop respiratory infections(呼吸道感染)as those with normal levels of vitamin d.vitamin d helps build strong
