7.One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now is no doubt tuhao,a sarcastic,light-hearted term referring to rich people of little education,bad taste or lacking self-awareness.
This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning.The term,which literally means"country bully",has been around since ancient times,when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural landlords.
However,the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was adapted a few years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game"World of Warcraft"to refer to rich players who spend big money buying powerful virtual weapons.Because they don't improve their skills by playing,these players are considered silly,uncultured,and unprofessional.
But that is not the end of tuhao's new life story.The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with(同時(shí)發(fā)生)the emergence(出現(xiàn))of the Chinese"nouveau riche"一a generation of businessmen and women,property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly accumulated large amounts of wealth in recent years.
Similar to the many rags-to-riches stories in human history,many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from well-educated or prestigious(聲望很高的) backgrounds.Rather,they achieved financial success through powerful connections,smart investments,and by riding out China's economic boom.Many of them don't shy away from throwing their money around,yet we are often reminded of their lack of manners,taste and cultural sensitivity.
As a result,a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation.
Trendy,young Internet users,who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao一not wealthy,but well-educated and cultured一have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations.For example,the phrase"let's be friends,tuhao,"became hot after it appeared in an online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk.
When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September,Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the great popularity of the new golden-colored models among Chinese consumers,and named it"tuhao Gold",to make fun of the taste of rich Chinese people.

15.A failed plot to kill Barack Obama,uncovered by US federal agents recently,has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers.
Two white American Neo-Nazi racists (新納粹種族主義者) had planned to kill 88African Americans,before finally assassinating (暗殺) Obama.The number"88"is equated with"HH",initials (首字母) for the Nazi greeting,"Heil Hitler"."H"is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
Many people were not familiar with the Neo-Nazi importance of 88,but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known,if not always believed.The number 13,for instance,is considered deeply unlucky.
In the US,many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13.They instead label it 12A,or use the letter M,which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet.New York's John F.Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13.And the popular Irish flight carrier,Ryan Air,has banished (摒棄) row 13from all its planes.
Last year when Brussels Airline put 13dots in their new logo,the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their"unlucky logo"and add an additional dot.
The fear comes from a Bible story,which states that Judas Iscariot,the disciple (門徒) who betrayed (出賣) Jesus,was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper.
But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th.It's a day of double bad luck.In the US,many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th.According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US,an estimated 17to 21million Americans are affected by a fear of this day.

51.From the first two paragraphs,we can know thatC.
A.a(chǎn) lot of Americans want to kill Barack Obama
B.the number 88is equated with 13
C.there are still racists in the US
D.the two white Americans had killed 88African Americans before killing Barack Obama
52.When you go aboard the Ryan Air,you will probably find thatD.
A.row 13is replaced with 12A
B.there is no gate 13
C.passengers complain that there is 13dots on its logo
D.none of their planes have row 13
53.If you are in the US,you will probably notA.
A.live on the 13th floor   B.a(chǎn)ttend a wedding on Saturday the 14th
C.see a floor numbered 3   D.have an M floor
54.From the passage,we can know that the Brussels AirlineB.
A.doesn't have row 13                B.has 14dots on its logo
C.has no flight take off on Fridays   D.was once stuck in a flood
55.From the last paragraph but one,we can learn thatD.
A.Jesus wrote the Bible
B.Judas was the 13th disciple of Jesus
C.Judas read a Bible story in the Last Supper
D.Judas betrayed Jesus.

19.Do you know that the first documented use of OMG (oh my god) was in 1917,or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960?That's what the world learned when OMG,LOL and FYI (for your information) were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week.This dictionary is considered by many people to be the reference book that defines the English language.
    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,OMG and FYI are initialisms(首字母縮略詞),which can be said aloud letter by letter.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 thought that the words were 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 the 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 600,000 words.That adds up to more than 21,730 pages!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.
68.The passage is mainly about the fact thatA
A.expressions like LOL and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary
B.many English words change their meanings with the time passing by
C.the English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn
D.the Oxford English Dictionary breaks Guinness World Records   
69.What cannot be used to prove that the Oxford English Dictionary has been updated?D
A.Some online terms are added to it.
B.Graphic symbol is first introduced into it.
C.Some slang words are collected in it.
D.Some outdated words are left out by it.
70.Before any new word is added to the update of the Oxford English Dictionary,itC
A.must be spread widely on the Internet
B.must be used commonly by the editors
C.must be used widely in either spoken or written language
D.must be shortened with large letters
71.It can be inferred that the Oxford English DictionaryB
A.includes all words from all languages

17.Men have always believed that they are smarter than women.Now,a study has found that while this is certainly true,men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
In the study,scientists measured the IQ of 2500brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent,but also in the bottom two percent.
The study's participants were tested on science,maths,English and mechanical abilities.
Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group,there were also twice as many men among the bottom.
The aggregate(總數(shù))scores of men and women were similar.
One of the study's authors,psychology professor Timothy Bates,said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their homes.
"The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.,"the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates,of Edinburgh University,as saying.
The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics.Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds,while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.

61.The purpose of the passage is to tell us thatC.
A.man are smarter then women
B.man are more stupid the women
C.a(chǎn) new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
D.men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
62.According to Timothy Bates,less women are in the smartest group becauseB.
