After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program,her mother recalled,Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother,Rosemarie Colvin,said from the family home.“So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said,‘You have to let me in .’ ”

“Impressed-she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil-Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978,where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.

On Wednesday,Marie Colvin,56,an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London,was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs.She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.

“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”,Mrs.Colvin said.“Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out.She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”

Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones.“If you knew my daughter,” she said,“it would have been such a waste of words.She was determined,she was enthusiastic about what she did,it was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was,absolutely who she was and what she believed in :cover the story,not just have pictures of it,but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.

24.What can be the best title of the text ?

A.Covering Stories in a Dangerous Conflict Area.  B.Applying for Top Universities,a Successful Case

C.Choosing Lifelong Careers Based on Your Own Interest.  D.Recalling Her Daughter,a Journalist Killed in Syria.

25.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1,we can infer that ________.

A.Yale was her last choice  B.Marie Colvin was confident of herself

b.She was admitted to Yale University.

c.She studied in Brazil as an excellent student.

d.She was hired by The Sunday Times of London.

The 115-year-old famous Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like “shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”,as part of the modern Chinese language.

As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy,the Chinese language is forever developing,attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet powerful language.

For instance,the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs（名牌仿制品）.Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”,a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities where well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage(按揭贷款).All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English –Chinese,Chinese-English dictionary.that was unveiled(公布于众的)in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week.

This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese,Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation.Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China-the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press worked together on the project.According to Julie Kleeman,the dictionary’s chief editor,most of the firm’s editors were Chinese,while about one fourth were native-English speakers.

“We don’t want to make it florid（绚丽的）,we want it to be modern and conversational.Many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use.” said Kleeman.“The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago.Precise,native and practical—that is our main advantage,” she said.She added the dictionary also has a sidebar section that explains words which contain too much cultural information,like “hutong”, a traditional architecture style of Beijing.

Kleeman said in the future newer updated versions will be only available online as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep up with.The online version will also offer a Chinese pronunciation guide.

The online version,allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPhones,will be ready “as soon as possible”,Kleeman said.
