Chinas new term， tuhao， may be in next years Oxford English Dictionary. 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.endprint

In Chinese tu means uncouth （笨拙的） 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 goldcolored 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 Chineselinked 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 exchiefeditor John Simpson.

Look， this is the first plane in the world to be created using the new technology of “3D printing”. The airplane was built using only a computer—but it can fly at a speed of 100mph and has a twometer wingspan.endprint

It was produced using a special nylon laser printer that builds up something layerbylayer. The parts were made separately and attached using a “snap fit”（搭扣）technique so the aircraft could be put together without tools in minutes.

No fasteners（扣件） at all were used in the manufacture of the plane. Unmanned and electrically powered， the plane can travel in near silence and is also equipped with a small autopilot system. The special production process used is known as “laser sintering（激光烧结） ”and allows the designers to create shapes and structures that would normally include costly manufacturing techniques. This technology allows a highlytailored aircraft to be developed from your own design to first flight in days， while using traditional materials and techniques would take months. And because no tooling is required for manufacture， major changes to the shape and scale of the aircraft can be made with no extra cost.

Professor Jim Scanlon， who led the team， said， “The process allows the design team to revisit historical techniques and ideas that would have been too expensive using traditional manufacturing.” He added， “This form of structure is very firm and lightweight， but very complex. If it was manufactured traditionally it would require a large number of individually tailored parts that would have to be connected or fastened at great expense.”

The new printed plane is known as the Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft—or SULSA for short—and is part of a wider project using cuttingedge manufacturing techniques. The University of Southampton has been at the leading position of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle development since the early 1990s.

32. What does the passage mainly talk

about？

A. New Designed Airplane with New Techniques.

B. Scientists Create Aircraft with High Speed.

C.The Worlds first 3D printed Airplane.

D. Revolutionary Breakthrough of 3D Printer.

33. Which of the following is NOT advantage of the plane？

A. It produces little noise while flying.

B. It is manufactured in quite a short time.

C. It only requires simple and cheap tools.

D. It neednt extra cost if changes are made.

34. How does the 3D printed plane fly？

A. A pilot controls it using a remote control.

B. It should be controlled by an autopilot system.

C. It should be controlled by “laser sintering”.

D. A pilot with high techniques controlledendprint

35. According to Professor Jim Scanlon， plane manufacturers can with their techniques.

A. produce firmer and lighter real planes

B. connect and fasten tailor parts for real planes

C. copy earlier planes to study their techniques

Around the world there is an increase in the demand for reforestation. This is because the consumption of the forests has affected not only the animals living in the area but also the people. And reforestation is about the rebuilding of the forests that have been severely destroyed.It can offer a lot of benefits when the recreation is successful.

36This includes collecting seedlings（幼苗） that are native in the area to make sure that there is a natural reconstruction of the area. Some additional trees which are not native in the area also need to be planted. 37The importance of having multiple species of trees is considered to make sure that the needs of other species that will live and grow in the area are met.

Destroying a forest is easy but rebuilding it is really hard.38 The plan must include accurate spacing on plants and trees. This is to ensure that they wont cover each other while they grow. 39

The forest greatly helps in the reduction of the air pollution. Trees are responsible for the production of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide.40 It is there for a reason just like everyone else on this planet.

There cannot be a better way to restore the balance of nature than to increase the forest area. We must remember that the forest is a natural habitat of wide variety of animals and plants. In this manner， there is no substitute for reforestation.

A. Keep in mind that you cant just plant the seedlings anywhere.

B. And global warming will speed up the destruction of forests.

C. Recreations wont work until all these details have been considered.

D. So a good plan is needed to make the reforestation a successful one.

E. There are many things to be done when it comes to this type of effort.

In the age of the keyboard， some people think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of the teachers say they are required 61 （teach） handwriting.

One study 62 （publish） this year suggests that about three quarters of the teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing 63 （instruct） for 10-15 minutes a day， and then other teachers basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day， 64 really for handwriting is pretty much.

Many adults remember learning that way— by copying letters over and over again. Todays thinking 65 （be） that short periods of practice are 66（good）. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead， they say it should be used 67a way to get students to express ideas.

Steve Graham says word processing is 68 （rare） done in elementary school， especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print， 69 then to write in cursive（草体字）， which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from 70 spokeswoman for the College Board， which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
