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 evolving attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant 充满生气的 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 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 mortgage All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English Chinese Chinese English dictionary that was unveiled 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 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 practical that is our core 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 41 According to Kleeman one of the features that distinguish Oxford English from other dictionaries is that A it has a long history of 115 years B it includes ancient but vibrant language C it is the largest English dictionary ever published 用心 爱心 专心5 D it offers native precise and practical language 42 According to the above passage we learn that A well educated youth in China s big cities have difficulty buying houses B the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid C most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English D knockoffs can be found in China but not very often 43 The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that A the computer network is available everywhere B book versions can t keep up with the changes of language C book versions can t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide D computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language 44 What is the main idea of the passage A The latest Oxford English Chinese Chinese English Dictionary is on the market B New Chinese terms like shanzhai and fangnu have got into Oxford Dictionary 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 B In today s society a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn For instance the IT world is constantly changing Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years The point is to learn to learn Blogging works exactly the same way And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal If you re trying to make money this is abundantly clear There s always more money to be made If you re teaching on a subject you are constantly looking for new information to share Even if you re just sharing your words with others for pleasure you re continuously improving your writing and storytelling so people don t get bored of you This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out They forget this They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain They get comfortable Then they start to run out of juice Sure at times it seems that some bloggers just have it They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever But this is not true Pay attention Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning The point is apparent Don t think you ve succeeded There are plateaus but there are no peaks What happens when someone thinks they ve hit the peak They quickly begin sliding down the other side Always be learning from your experiences See what posts work for your readers Which get the best 用心 爱心 专心6 response Which are completely ignored Which bring in the most Google traffic or get the most Absence clicks Don t settle or your blog will close for good eventually 45 Judging from the article if you have got a college degree say in engineering it means A you re good at engineeringB you ve finished learning engineering C you ve chosen to learn engineering D you can find work relating to engineering 46 The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to A be constant learnersB have academic degrees C keep on writingD know everything before starting 47 Which is NOT a possible purpose of people s blogging A To increase their income B To help others to learn C To entertain the readers D To keep private records 48 The writer uses the word it in the underlined sentence Sure at times have it to refers to A the failure in keeping on writingB the knowledge needed for blogging forever C the ability of constant learningD the comfort enjoyed from blogging 49 The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to A learn from their experiencesB learn from others C update their knowledgeD reach blogging peaks C In people s minds Beijing women are taller bold and uninhibited while Shanghai women are smaller in figure and always speak in a soft voice The image 形象 of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women s However it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai even at a grand party but in Beijing it s usually the men s treat And it is also impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out even if you promise to see her home that night The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at all All their cellphones will ring one after another at 12 o clock sharp at night The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear Where have you been Do you remember that you ve got a home Now who s with you and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call Shanghai women could never understand this If it s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy or drunk perhaps The Shanghainese go Dutch in life and they 用心 爱心 专心7 appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying I don t depend on any men Thus no men can command them for example to force them to come back home before 10 pm Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life anyhow How can a couple be addressed as a couple when they don t know where the other has been last night They wondered 50 The underlined word uninhibited in Paragraph One probably means A relaxed enough to do as they like B very cautious about their behavior C always doing what they are told to D not having courage or confidence 51 By mentioning men paying bills for women in Beijing the writer wants to show that A Beijing women are respected B Beijing women lack independence C Beijing men are generous D Beijing men possess gentle manners 52 The conditions of Beijing men are no better because they A often stay out late at night B have women call them at midnight C are treated the same as Shanghai men D enjoy no more freedom than the women 53 Shanghai women could never understand why A Beijing women behave like that B Beijing men behave like that C Shanghai men think so differently D Shanghai women don t copy Beijing women 54 Which of the following may be the title of the article A Lifestyle difference between Shanghai and Beijing B Physically strong may mean spiritually weak C Big Shanghai women and little Beijing women D Can a couple go Dutch in life D I began reading words when I was eight months old By the time I was two I had read Charlotte s Web My parents thought it was odd but because I didn t have any siblings for them to compare me with they didn t realise just how odd At pre school in Northport New York I quickly overtook everyone At seven I was going into high school for my classes but still doing all my social activities with kids my age But when I was nine the public school administration said that I had to go to high school full time with 16 year olds I didn t want to because some kids there were always teasing me it 用心 爱心 专心8 was pretty horrible when they called me a know it all and tried to grab my homework My parents tried to find me another school but in the end because I was so advanced the only place that was on the same level as me was State University of New York at Stony Brook The admissions people said that if I thought I could manage I could have a place as long as my mother accompanied me to classes So aged 10 I started an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics I was frightened on my first day but I was also excited that I was going to attend my first real physics class Most of the teachers were nice but one or two didn t like me One professor said that just because I did as well as the other male students it didn t mean I was as good as them But the students were supportive and my parents always made sure that I had a group of friends of my own age they didn t want me to be a social misfit I graduated summa cum laude with the highest honor when I was 14 the youngest student ever to do so in the US I was a perfectionist I don t think I would have settled for less than that I went on to Drexel University and at 17 I was awarded a Master s and continued to study for a PhD But that was when I grew disillusioned with the science world I saw bad conduct and realised that some professors weren t motivated by a love of science I fell out with the adviser who was supervising my Ph D I charged Drexel University in a civil lawsuit and the case has now gone into private binding arbitration 仲裁 I believe my adviser applied for grants and patents using my ideas and took credit for them He denies this and has accused me of stealing his work Even though the university has cleared me of plagiarism 剽窃 it has still refused to award me my PhD At the time I was fully expecting to receive my PhD I applied for a post teaching advanced technology fusion at Konkuk university in Seoul When I was appointed I was just under 19 so I made it into Guinness World Records In South Korea I was treated as a minor celebrity People stared at me wherever I went on campus and I was asked to give inspirational talks to teenagers But I didn t renew my contract I d had a great year but I wanted to come home I still don t have my PhD and I am angry and disappointed about that I worked so hard all my life and my research ended up going nowhere There s always hope but the experience at Drexel has derailed me If a university gave me a place to complete my studies I would take it But I am someone who is suing her former university so a lot of colleges are afraid to touch me For now I m enrolled in law school and training to be a lawyer I want to combine legal and science knowledge so that I can protec
