Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language．People invent new words all the time，but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries．
Typed online or in text messages，LOL，F(xiàn)YI，and OMG are initialisms，which can be said aloud letter by letter，like LOL，which now stands for Laugh Out Loud．Faster to type than the full phrases，initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s．But these three online terms are now spoken outside the Internet too，making them different from other online lingo（ 行話）．Dictionary editors decided the words are used so commonly that they had to be defined this year．
Another important addition to the dictionary this year was?，as in"I?NY．"This is the first graphic （圖形的 ） symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary．The editors added?as a verb under the definition of"heart"，meaning"to love"．
Some slang words-informal language used more commonly in speech than in writing-were also added，like wassup，a shortened way to say"What's up"．Even words that have been in use for many years like biker and happy camper were finally added to the dictionary．
The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600，000words．That adds up to more than 21，730pages!Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world．The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds-popular，outdated，and even foreign words used by English speakers throughout the language's long history．

21．The text mainly tells us thatA．

B．English words change their meaning as time goes by
C．English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn

2．Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin（企鵝）at the California Academy of Sciences．Due to his old age，he was losing his feathers，which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool．Therefore，biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool．
Unlike marine（海生的）mammals，which have a layer of blubber（鯨脂）to keep them warm，penguins depend on their waterproof feathers．Without them，Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19peers played in the water．
"He was cold；he would shake，"said Pam Schaller，a  senior biologist．Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm．Then she got another idea：if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific，why not make one for Pierre？
Schaller designed the suit，which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his flippers （鰭）．
"I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps，and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable．"she said．
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit，but in fact，they accepted his new look．He swam freely and got along with others well，although he was the only penguin with a black stomach．
Schaller couldn't say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers，but"certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable"．
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back．
24．Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because ofA．
A．having few feathers due to old age    
B．not having a layer of blubber
C．having no wetsuit                  
D．others penguins rejecting him
25．The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came fromB．
A．total invention            
B．the use of wetsuit on humans
C．the use of heat lamp        
D．waterproof feathers
26．Schaller followed Pierre in order to seeD．
A．whether other penguins would reject him
B．whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering
C．if the wetsuit kept warm
D．if anywhere of the wetsuit needed to be cut and refit
27．The best title of the passage isC．
A．Unwilling to Swim             
B．Old Penguin Getting Bald（禿的）
C．Wetsuit for An old Penguin       
D．Strange Look of Pierre．

6．How Safe Is Your Bed？
Do you consider your bed a safe place of rest and calm？Do you sink into a mattress （床墊） after a hard day's work and feel tension and stress drain away as you rest your weary head on a soft pillow？Well，you might not feel so relaxed if you knew that tiny pests were hiding there!It seems that beds may not be such a good place for our health and happiness----they could actually be making us ill!
Recent studies have shown that bacteria，fungi and dust mites （螨蟲），some smaller than the diameter of a hair，live in our bedding．When we move around in our sleep，we disturb them and they are bounced up into the air--which we then breathe in as we sleep．According to the American Lung Association，four out of five households in the United States now have high levels of dust mites，although it's not the mites themselves that cause the problems，but their droppings．These are"highly allergenic （致敏的）"according to Dr William Berger，a fellow with the American Academy of Allergy，Asthma and Immunology．"Even if you aren't allergic…they can still irritate you，the way pepper would if it blew into your nose and eyes．"
Brendan Boor，Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering，who carries out bed research，also found that bed dust in the air leads to allergies--causing watery eyes，sneezing，coughs and asthma．He has recommended ways to limit our exposure to these boring allergens：
Firstly，he suggests vacuuming your mattress regularly-weekly，or even daily．He also recommends doing away with carpets and washing floors．Using allergen-proof bed covers，he says，can reduce the risk of getting allergies．In addition，washing bedding and pillows frequently can help，as can a portable air cleaner placed near the bed．
If you do as Brendan Boor suggests，you will breathe in cleaner air as you sleep …or will you？Is it really safe for you to go back in your bed？
Studies show that beds aren't a good place for your well-being and they can even make you sick．Mites，bacteria and other tiny living things in your beds can cause illness or irritate you．Therefore，experts suggest that cleaning carpets，washing floors，using allergen-proof bed covers，and washing bedding and pillows frequently can make your bed safe．．

16．Hobbies Help Cure Addiction to the Internet
While some parents have expressed concerns about the amount of time their children spent surfing the Internet during the summer break from school，it wasn't a problem for Yin Qiming．
Instead，the 37-year-old Shanghai resident and his daughter divided their vacation between cyberspace and the 8-year-old's other interests．
"My daughter has many hobbies and I and her mother respect her choices，so we accompany her to classes she enjoys，such as learning to play the drums and drawing，"he said．
"She loves to play outside with her friends，so she doesn't think the Internet is a must-have thing in her life．"
Yin added that he rarely imposes a time limit on his daughter's online activity．
"She sometimes uses WeChat（a popular instant-messaging tool） on my mobile phone，but only to contact her mother，"he said．"Once she has her own plans every day and realizes that the internet is just a part of life，she won't become addicted to it．"
Li Lin，a primary school teacher from Liaoning province，expressed a similar opinion．
"We do some homework online，including reciting stories，and the children use the Internet frequently every day of their lives，"she said，noting that the children's online activity is limited to 30minutes a day at school．
"We should make better use of the Internet to provide children with more knowledge and help them to grow up，"said Li，who has a 10-year-old son．
The key to preventing children，especially those at primary and middle schools，from becoming addicted to the Internet is to limit the time they spend online and to ensure that they know cyberspace cannot replace traditional forms of communication，she said．
Mao Feizhu，a psychologist from Fujian province in southeast China，said people overestimate the influence of the internet．
"Many people，even some parents，believe the Internet plays a big role in our daily lives，and many things can be completed online，but that's not completely right，"she said．
"We can use social applications to talk or play basketball games，and even share what we are thinking about，but sometimes it's impossible for our emotions to be accurately reflected in this way．What children need is emotional communication and real physical exercise．After all，love cannot be bought on the net，"she said．
Perhaps，the best way to stop young netizens spending too much time online is to encourage their other interests but also accompany them when they go online："We should use the Internet，not become its slaves．"

67．What bothers lots of the parents today is that their young childrenC．
A．enjoy chatting with friends online
B．a(chǎn)re addicted to playing cell phones deeply
C．spend too much time on the Internet
D．love playing computer games too much
68．How did Yin Qiming keep his daughter free of the Internet addiction？C
A．By inviting her to plan her own time limit of using the Internet．
B．By talking and playing with her frequently to spare the holiday．
C．By sparing time to accompany her developing her own hobbies．
D．By encouraging her to make enough friends in the real life．
69．According to Li Lin，the key to preventing the Internet addiction isA．
A．to limit their time online and encourage real life communication
B．to stress the importance of friendship and making friends online
C．to make rules on surfing online and offer more online time
D．to forbid Internet use and spend more time on book-reading

3．Do you know what is scarier than bees？Pirate bees!Scientists have discovered a new species of bee that survives by capturing hives（蜂房） made by other species．The behavior is usually seen in cuckoos（杜鵑），so the new species has been named the"cuckoo bee"．
Discovered by Dr．Jakub Straka of Charles University in Prague，and Dr．Michael S．Engel of the University of Kansas，the cuckoo bee was found during a journey to the Republic of Cape Verde is an island chain off the western coast of Africa．Cape Verde is an island that has not been visited before by scientists．Scientists believe the area may be home to a lot of undiscovered species．
According to Straka and Engel's report，the cuckoo bee enters a hive secretly．While the host is out collecting pollen（花粉），the female cuckoo bee enters the hive and lays her eggs on top of the host's．The cuckoo bee eggs hatch more quickly than the other eggs．Then，when they come out of their eggs，the newborn cuckoo bees immediately kill all of the host's eggs and young，and then eat all the stored food．Eventually，they gain control of the hive and live off its resources．
Physically，the cuckoo bees look like zebra，featuring mostly black-and-white patterns．Also，they are mostly quite large．But one species was only 5mm long，which is actually quite small for a bee．Engel and Straka believe the large size of most of the cuckoo bee species is the result of"island gigantism（島嶼巨型化）"，a phenomenon where a species can grow at an extreme rate when separated from the rest of its kind．
The researchers are now trying to explore the diversity（多樣化） of the cuckoo bees'hosts and also to understand their evolution across the islands．

32．Why is the bee called the"cuckoo bee"？A
A．It survives in a similar way to the cuckoo bird．
B．It looks like the cuckoo bird．
C．Its sound is similar to that of the cuckoo bird．
D．It is from the same island as the cuckoo bird．
33．What does the underlined word"capturing"in the first paragraph probably mean？C
A．Building．
B．Destroying．
C．Controlling．
D．Stealing．
34．The cuckoo beeA．
A．has zebra-like patterns    
 B．collects pollen before entering a hive
C．kills the host bee after entering a hive    
D．enters a hive in a group
35．What is the real reason for most cuckoo bees being larger？D
A．They can get plenty of food from other bees'hives．
B．Their habitat，Cape Verde，has not been polluted．
C．Their hosts are diverse．
D．They are separated from the rest of their kind．

2．Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend．He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave-and mighty（強(qiáng)大的）forces will come to your aid．
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed．It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all．On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again．
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat．And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces．They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize．
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones．But they are more important than physical ones．A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player．"In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，"said Tim．"I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子彈）-and stopped him cold．"
Boldness-a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be acquired overnight．But it can be taught to children and developed in adults．Confidence builds up．Surely，there will be setbacks（挫折）and disappointments in life； boldness in itself is no guarantee of success．But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds．
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities-and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed．
28．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past？B
A．He faced huge risks．
B．He lacked mighty forces．
C．Fear prevented him from trying．
D．Failure blocked his way to success．
29．What is the implied meaning of the underlined part？C
A．Swallow more than you can digest．
B．Develop more mysterious powers．
C．Act slightly above your abilities．
D．Learn to make creative decisions．
30．What can be learned from Paragraph 5？B
A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults．
B．Boldness can be gained little by little．
C．Repeated failure creates a better life．
D．Trying without success is meaningless．
31．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？A
A．To encourage people to be courageous．
B．To advise people to build up physical power．
C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success．
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities．
