Its not a scene in a TV drama. Tying up their hair and putting on the cotton shoes, about 60 young people gathered in a Beijing teahouse Monday to perform traditional dances, music and poetry readings. The event was set up by Haanen, a non-governmental organization founded in xx. It has more than 24,000 members worldwide. They all love traditional Chinese culture and believe that wearing the Han costume（服装）is the best way to show love for China. Active members are mostly in their 20s or 30s.Chen Ye, a 19-year-old student, said it made her feel bad that Koreans have hanbok and Japanese have kimono while Chinese dont have a typical traditional dress. “Most people may think the cheongsam(旗袍) could be a representative, but I dont think so,” said Chen, from Capital University of Business and Economics.Chen said Han costume is the one for China. It is the traditional dress of Han nationality. It had been worn for thousands of years before it died out at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This is not the groups first activity. In the past two years, some of the members have dressed up in traditional clothes and visited sights in the downtown areas of many Chinese cities. It helps raise peoples awareness of traditional Chinese culture. Gu Xiaoming, history professor with Fudan University, said the trend（倾向） is an attempt to hold on to traditional identities in a changing world. “Its a youth movement perhaps springing up against the background of globalization.” 56.

What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The groups first activity.B. Dressing up in traditional costume.C. Visiting sights in Chinese cities.D. What the group has done so far.59. What is the passage mainly about?A. How important the Han costume has been in the history of China.B. Which costume should be regarded as the traditional dress of China.C. Why the Han costume reappears in some young peoples life.D. What a youth group has done to promote traditional Chinese culture.BBe sure youre at the xx Super Conference, the 88th national meeting of the Canadian munity Newspapers Association. Ian Morrison, a futurist and author, will share his long-term forecasting on changing business environments and throw light on the development of the newspaper business model. Later in the day, you wont want to miss David Wilkins, the American ambassador to Canada, as he discusses affairs affecting U.S.-Canada relations. Both presentations take place May 9the opening day of the conference.On Thursday, May 10, meet Rob Curley, vice-president of product development for the Washington Post, an online innovator (革新者) whose earlier work at the Naples, Florida Daily News, the small market Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas, and with Morris munications has made him an innovative legend at age 35. His creativity has changed traditional thinking about newspaper web sites, allowing for very local munity web sites and multimedia features. In xx, Editor & Publisher named the 19,000-circulation(发行量) Lawrence Journal-World one of the ten newspapers in the U.S. that “do it right.” On Friday, May 11, speakers Juan, Media Consulting Group and André, Gesca Ltd., will explore the trend（倾向）towards free and closely-related newspapers, which is not only a European phenomenon, but has also appeared in North America. They will be followed by Leon Levitt, vice-president of digital media for Cox Newspapers, and others. They will address partnerships such as the one Yahoo! and several large U.S. newspaper panies have created, which are widely greeted as win-win for both organizations.For further information, and to download the full program and registration form, visit munitynews.ca/convention/xx/.60.

The xx Super Conference is mainly about _.A. developing newspaper businessB. forming newspaper organizationsC. improving newspaper qualitiesD. promoting newspaper partnership CBy the end of this year, the contents of all 1,800 courses taught at one of the worlds most famous universities will be available online to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world. Learners wont have to register (注册) for the classes, and everyone is accepted.The cost? Its all free of charge.The Open Course Ware(OCW) movement, begun at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in xx and now spread to some 120 other universities worldwide, aims to spread knowledge to anyone who has an Internet connection and a desire to learn.OCW provides free access to course materials such as video lectures, notes, homework and so on. By giving away their content, the universities are not discouraging students from joining them. Instead, the online materials appear to be only attracting more.The MIT site, along with panion sites that translate the materials into other languages, now average about 1.4 million visits per month from learners in every single country on the planet.So-called “distance learning” over the Internet is not new. Students have been able to pay for online courses at many institutions, either to receive credits（学分） or simply as a noncredit adult-learning experience. Many universities also offer free materials delivered through the Internet. But the total number and variety of the educational materials being released (发布) provided by MIT is simply shocking. For example, each of the 29 courses that Tufts University in Medford, Mass., has put online so far is exactly the size of a textbook. The material provides much more than an outline of a course. Visitors to Tufts OCW course on “Wildlife Medicine” call it the most plete website on that topic in the world.What OCW is not, its supporters agree, is a substitute for attending a university. For one thing, OCW learners are not able to receive instructions from a professor or to discuss the course with fellow students. It is believed that a college education is really the total package of students working with other students, forming networks, municating with teachers, and that whole environment of being associated with the school.64. The purpose of the OCW movement is _ . A. to help reduce the expenses of university educationB. to win for MIT an advantage over other universitiesC. to provide educational materials through the InternetD. to make knowledge available to learners on the Internet65. According to the passage, what OCW learners wont have is _.A. free online course materialsB. credits after attending the coursesC. a non-credit adult-learning experienceD. normal munication with teachers and classmates66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _.A. OCW cannot take the place of normal university educationB. OCW is believed to be a perfect match for attending a universityC. OCW can offer students more materials than attending a universityD. OCW can help learners plete university education at a low cost67. The passage is written mainly to _.A. excite young peoples learning desireB. praise MIT for spreading knowledgeC. inform people about the OCW movementD. tell people how to go to MIT for freeDBesides news reports that tend to focus on war or election, Americans generally dont hear much about people in other countries. One reason may be that very little foreign-language literature is translated into English. In the United States, just a few of the titles, mainly translations of foreign novels, short stories, or poetry, make it into English. However, a number of efforts have taken root to try to bring more global literature to US audiences.The online magazine of international literature, Words Without Borders, was founded by Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y. The nonprofit site, now in its fifth year, offers modern writing from places such as Argentina, China and Italy, often for the first time in English. It gets about 200,000 page views per month and counts roughly 8,000 subscribers (订阅者) , more than one-quarter of whom live in the US.“Theres a wave of interest right now,” says Jill Schoolman, publisher of Archipelago Books, a small nonprofit press in Brooklyn, N.Y., opened in xx to publish world literature in translation only. “People are hungry for ideas from other countries.” Rainmaker Translations a Las Vegas-based nonprofit was formed two years ago to support the publication of more top-quality global writing here in the US. They put out their first three titles, translated from Arabic, Chinese, and Russian, in the spring of xx and plan to aid up to four more in the ing year.In March, the Center for the Art of Translation, a nonprofit started in 1994 in San Francisco, will publish Two Lines World Library, focused on writing from some particular areas published over the last several decades.Dalkey Archive Press, a century-old nonprofit publisher in Champaign, Illinois, has upped the number of translations on its publication list since xx, from 25 percent to nearly 80 percent.In recent years, more nonprofits have applied to the National Endowment for the Arts for help to publish literary translations. The agency is also trying to increase the availability of translated prose (散文) and poetry in the US, such as publishing partnerships with foreign governments.68. The main purpose in founding the magazine Words Without Borders is _.A. to pete for page views and subscribers onlineB. to get American literature better known to the worldC. to help advance nonprofit world literature translationD. to introduce more world literature to readers in the US69. What do the publishers mentioned in the passage have in mon?A. They mainly publish top-quality world literature in translation.B. They dont aim at making money by publishing global writing.C. They provide their translation and publication services online.D. They have published a number of literary works in translation.70.
