An Unforgettable ChildhoodBThe composing career (作曲生涯）of Albert Roussel got off to a changeable start, and received one of its biggest successes from a lie.Roussel became an orphan (孤儿)）at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano. Three years later Roussels grandfather died, and his mothers sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside added a second love to his life - the sea. He studied to be a soldier in the navy, but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, he and two friends found time to play the music of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public appearance as a composer. That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to a famous conductor, Edouard Colomie. When Roussels friend returned with the manuscript(手稿)， he reported that Colonrie had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.Not long afterward, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied the qualities that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Edouard Colonnes inspiring advice that Roussel should devote his life to music, Roussels naval friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussels manuscript to the conductor.60. What information can we get from the second paragraph?A. Alberts grandfather died when Albert was eight years old.B. Alberts aunt arranged for him to take piano lessons.C.

The word caught the attention of the dictionarys editing team after BBCs recent program on influential Chinese words. If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words, said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in Chinas countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apples new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by Chinas rich people. The color became known as tuhao gold. The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words dama and hukou which may also make it into the dictionary.People can have an intuitive (直观的）grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary, she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means connection; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time, according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.64. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Dama and hukou have made it into Oxford English dictionary,B. Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBCs recent programs.C. tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.D. John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.65. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?A. Give orders to others B. Get ready to help others.C. Go on a diet. D. Put on weight.66. Tuhao becames more popular in September partly because _ .A. it is very likely to appear in Oxford English DictionaryB. it is often used by the online communityC. people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaningD. Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone67. The main idea of the text is that _ .A. tuhao may end up in Oxford English DictionaryB. sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understoodC. tuhao has a new meaning at the present limeD. Oxford English Dictionary includes new words faster than beforeDUnemployment in Europe has recently hit record highs. Although Denmark has been protected from economic problems thanks to its low public debt, qualified(有资格的） professionals are still finding it tough to get a job. Danish marketing firm ReputationCopenhagen has come up with a way of helping academics get noticed - putting them on display(展示)）in storefront windows.Many highly-trained professionals, ranging from former CEOs to lawyers and tax experts, are currently finding it increasingly difficult to find proper employment on the Danish job market. Some of them have been trying for years, leaving their resumes(简历）with dozens of companies, without ever hearing back from them, and are now at a point where they are willing to try anything, even putting themselves in display windows like goods, hoping to get noticed.Alexander Peitersen, managing director of Reputation Copenhagen came up with the idea of using his companys office as a storefront for the campaign(活动)，as there are many businesses nearby that might be interested in the talents on display. So he set up a small desk, put up the an available academic is sitting here sign and asked the unemployed to just sit in the windows like goods. It seems like a pretty desperate measure, but at least it works. According to the agencys website, three of the job-seekers in their window display got a job in a day or two.Peitersen says he came up with the idea after realizing human resource managers get hundreds of job applications every day, which look more or less the same, and that creative thinking is required in order to increase the chances of finding employment. Apart from companies interested in qualified job-seekers, the campaign has also attracted the attention of both local and international media.68. Which of the following words can be used to describe Peitersen?A. Independent. B. Creative. C. Sensitive. D. Cautious.69. Some job-seekers are willing to put themselves in the windows to display in that _ .A. they think it is fashionableB. their parents ask them toC. its increasingly difficult to get hiredD. they find its interesting70. It can be inferred that _ .A. no companies show interest in the qualified job-seekers in the windowsB. both local and international media dont agree with the campaignC. human resource managers have to reply to hundreds of applicantsD. to some degree the window displays help people find jobs71. What is the text mainly about?A. Job-seekers are displayed in the windows hopi
