It defines the noun as “a low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector.”The word first appeared two decades ago in The Washington Post, according to the dictionary. But executives at Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonalds say the definition is demeaning to its workers and say theyll ask dictionary editors to amend the definition. “Dictionaries are supposed to be models of accuracy. And in this case, they got it completely wrong,” said Walt Riker, a McDonalds spokesman. “Its a harmful action and incredibly demeaning to a terrific workforce and a company thats been a job and opportunity machine for 50 years.”In 2003, editors at the Merriam-Webster Dictionary refused to remove or change their definition of “McJob” after McDonalds balked（妨碍） at its inclusion（包括） in the books 11th edition. Instead, the Springfield, Mass. publisher said the word was accurate and appropriate. Amanda Pierce, a spokeswoman for McDonalds U.K. operations, refused to comment on the details of the companys newest campaign, but said it will kick off in May with the goal of changing what she called an “out-of-date” definition. She said she did not know how long the campaign would last, saying that depended on “how far and wide the campaign goes.”36. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, McJob means _.A. a job with few futuresB. a job with high payC. a job with great rewardsD. a job with great potential37. McDonalds Corp. will launch a campaign in the U.K. with the purpose of _.A. excluding McJob from the dictionary B. changing the definition of McJob C. promoting new productsD. expanding its service sector38. In the opinion of Walt Riker, the current definition of McJob is _. A. ridiculousB. incorrectC. appropriateD. updated 39. Which is the best title of the passage?A. How McJob came into being?B. McJob = a job with few prospects C. McDonalds Corp. seeks to redefine “McJob” D. The Oxford English Dictionary refused to change the definition of McJob 40. What does the underlined word “demeaning” mean in the passage?A. Making people have less respect for.B. Wonderful.C. Horrible.D. Making people pay attention to.BOlympic volunteer hopefuls from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan stand a better chance if they are bilingual(能使用两种语言的).Priority（优先权） will be given to applicants who have “special skills” and can speak languages other than English and Chinese. “We expect those people from above-mentioned areas, who are qualified for being a volunteer, to put in an application,” Liu Jian, office director of Beijing Olympic Games Volunteer Work Coordination Group, said. Liu made the remarks on March 28, 2007 at a press conference to officially launch the volunteer recruitment（招募）drive from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and foreign countries for the 2008 Games. Volunteer requirements can be found at the official website www.beijing2008.cn, or by calling the hotline on 8610-12308. Recruitment for volunteers in Beijing began on August 28, 2006. In areas outside the capital, it began on January 19 this year. To date, more than 400,000 people have sent in applications, more than 270,000 of them from Beijing. “According to the latest application results, we still need a lot of volunteers with foreign language skills other than English,” Li Binghua, executive vice-president of BOCOG, said.

At this point, I think our tiredness was blocked out by our excitement as we quickly made our way through the customs （海关）line. In no time we were rolling along towards downtown London and Victoria Station. It was fascinating when we are listening to all of the different languages and accents （口音） of the other travelers on the train. We were pleased to see how nice the hotel and our room were. We were starting to feel the effects of getting no sleep, so we each took a shower. We were determined to stay awake all day so we could get on our new sleep schedule.We hiked up to the street and wandered around Leichester Square, finally ending up at a nice little pub. We got cheese and salad filled with pork and apples. They were messy, but delicious. We decided to keep moving to avoid getting more sleepy. We noticed that the London Eye was right across the riverThames, so we crossed the bridge and walked under this enormous Ferris wheel (大转轮). Its much larger than it appears in pictures or on television. We had somehow lost our London guide book. Back in our room, we were dangerously close to falling asleep, so we decided to get coffee outside our hotel. The coffee revived us, so we walked down to Hyde Park to enjoy the nice weather and watch the sun begin to set. At last we headed back to the hotel. We were worn out, but very happy to be in London.46.

The citys residents live in hydrogen-powered hover (盘旋) vehicles, and renewable energy resources provide the citys power. Thats how Jake Bowers, 12, Emily Ponti, 14, and Krisha Sherburne, 12, envisioned their future city. The students took first place for their design last week in the 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition held in Washington, D.C. The students won a trip to the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Kids from 35 middle schools across the country made it to Washington. They had teamed up with teachers and volunteer engineers to develop cities. Each team began by creating a fictional city on SimCity 3000, a computer game that allows players to construct towns. The students then built a tabletop (桌面) model of the city, wrote an essay and presented their creation to a panel (小组) of judges. This years theme asked students to design fuel cell powered communities. Fuel cell technology works by using hydrogen and oxygen to produce power. The process is environmentally friendly. Organizers hope the competition provides a funny and educational way to arose young peoples interest in engineering. “As the number of graduates in engineering decreases (减少), its even more important to encourage students to build these skills at an early age,” says John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company. Shell is a sponsor (赞助商) of the annual Future City contest. Judging by this years competition, plenty of kids are getting the message. Some 30,000 students from more than 1,000 schools took part in the 2006-2007 Future City Competition.51. The underlined word “envisioned” means “ ”.A. built B. imagined C. described D. predicted52.

From the time youngsters(小孩)become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last year of high school in order to buy a car learning to drive and getting a drivers license may be one of the most exciting times of a young persons life. People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a repairman at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing(打蜡) their cars. For some families it is not enough to have one car. They often have two or three-one for work and one for recreation(娱乐)。 Many men and women in the United States need to have a car. Many need a car to go to work. Housewives need a car to go shopping or to take the children to school or other activities. In most states young people learn to drive in high school, where driver training is one of the most popular courses. At the end of the course the student must take a driving test to get a license.

Now I will tell you something about reading classics in our school. The majority of students in our school think reading classics can help us know about some cultures and customs all over the world. And it can also cultivate our minds and improve our characters. Besides, we can learn something from classics because they have something to do with life today. However, some students think the language used in them is quite different from that used today, which makes them difficult to read. They also think classics are old-fashioned and boring.Personally, it is necessary to read classics in our spare time. Because we can enrich our knowledge we cant get in our daily life.
