this year.The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as theyused words,phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently.At the same time,graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason.Theirspeeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today,such as ufloatingclouds(meaning too small and of little importance to mention)and gelivable(meaning very helpful).Inthe speeches,these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all theaudiences.They were very different from the usual run of lectures.Many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from anadvising and preaching(说 教)mode to a more fashionable and funny approach.They try to use those wordspopular among young people in their speeches.In the past,university presidents*speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment.Now,they quote fashionable words in their addresses,reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes tostudents.The use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion.It focuses on the question of whetheruniversity presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.Supporters agree with the new approach.They consider it good to build close ties with students by using theyouths own words.Opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or significance for education but aremerely to please those leaving university.39.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Should University Heads Use Terms of YouthB.Must University Presidents Learn to Please StudentsC.Must University Presidents

words on formal occasions.CNowadays,more and more employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time,and thatnumber is continuing growing.It*s believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is awaste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.A large of group presentations,training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience.Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch anonline presentation by presenters.Besides,Web meetings can be recorded for later use.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting.Some Web meetingsoftware programs can monitor the users1 desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentationand begin working on other documents.If so the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention,and how long the distraction lasts.In this way,the presenters will know which parts of their meetings needimproving.Web meetings can work well because theyre hosted on a server（服务器）.Images from the presenters desktopare taken,uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server.Web meetingsrequire a powerful server to deal with several images a second and serve them back to thousands of users at thesame time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers.They can either buy a special Web meetingserver to host their meetings on-site,or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-siteprovider worry about hosting the meetings.The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Webmeetings,the average number of people attending the meetings,and the quality of engineering and informationtechnology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.With all thetechnologies today,the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.43.In what way do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By tracking the users*state.B.By giving useful suggestions.C.By sharing detailed technical data.D.By providing

residing in a nursing home she oversees.It is incredibly rare to find a Caucasian woman working as the director of a nursing home in Shanghai.But thefact that Anastasija Puzankova can even talk in Liantang,a Chinese dialect spoken only by residents in a smalltown in southwestern Shanghai,makes her one of a kind.“I had always wondered how the elderly were getting along with others,or if they were well cared for.Irealized that I could better serve them and understand their concerns if I spoke their dialect,says the 35-year-old,who also speaks Russian,English,Latvian,French and Spanish.Puzankova chose to study Sinology（汉学）out of her curiosity about China at the University of Latvia in2003.The next year,she traveled to Shanghai as part of an exchange program and then she

the nursing home,as an executive assistant.During that period,she performed so well in her nursing andmanagement training that she was appointed the director of the home after just one year.A caregiver,surnamed Cai,says the atmosphere at the home has changed since Puzankova took charge.She makes life in the nursing home uplifting and purposeful.says Cai.“She throws monthly birthday parties for the elderly,creates a festive mood in the home for every traditionalfestival and frequently organizes handicrafts classes and activities to stimulate the minds of the residents.When family visits and group activities were delayed during the novel coronavirus outbreak,Puzankova cameup with a similar idea at the home,purchasing vegetable seeds and growing them in the field near the nursing homeso that the residents can observe the plants growing from their windows.Just watching the plants grow can lift their spirits.We can also serve these organic vegetables to them.H sheexplains.Puzankova says,simply like communicating with people,understanding their personalities and offeringhelp when they are in need.Making an elderly person happy isnt hard.It just takes a little time,love and thought.47.Why did Anastasija Puzankova learn the Chinese dialect Liantang?A.To satisfy her superior.B.To research its history and popularity.C.lb communicate with the elderly better.D.To prove her language learning capacity.48.During the novel coronavirus outbreak,Puzankova.A.forbade family visits foreverB.created a festive mood in the homeC.organized some outdoor

breaks down barriers.D.Education is the key to success.50.The best title of the passage could be A.A foreign face with a local soulB.A language expert with a loving heartC.A nursing home with a woman
