Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed herself as she did nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate (巨頭) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a latelife career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international bestseller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography, Moonwalk.
Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.
25. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ________.
A. became fond of reading after working as an editor
B. was in charge of publishing 100 books
C. promoted her books through social relations
D. gained a lot from her career as an editor
26. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.
A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First Lady
B. Jacqueline's life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor
C. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady
D. Jacqueline's role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor
27. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Jacqueline's two marriages lasted more than 20 years.
B. Jacqueline's own publishing firm was set up eventually.
C. Jacqueline's views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.
D. Jacqueline's achievements were widely known.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations —UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
28. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.
A. promote global languages
B. search for language communities
C. rescue disappearing languages
D. set up language research organizations.
29. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Living with the native speaker.
B. Telling stories about language users.
C. Writing books on language teaching. D. Having full records of the languages.
30. What is Turin’s book based on?
A. The cultural studies
B. His personal experience in Nepal.
C. His language research in Bhutan.
D. The documents available at Yale.
31. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?
A. Collect, protect and reconnect.
B. Write, sell and donate.
C. Record, repair and reward.
D. Design, experiment and report.

A meeting between Alibaba Group Chairman Jack Ma and US President Donald Trump last Monday signals that Trump, whose tough attitude towards China has east dark clouds over China-US trade relations, left a door open for pragmatic(務實的)cooperation with Chinese companies, Chinese experts said.
The Chinese billionaire reportedly held a meeting with Trump in New York last Monday to discuss how the Chinese e-commerce giant could create jobs by allowing US businesses to sell products in the Chinese market.
This was the first meeting of the US president with a highly noticeable businessman from China, following a series of tough speeches and actions, including threats to impose a 45 percent tax on Chinese goods and selection of China critics for trade positions.
Though details of the meeting as to what was specifically discussed remain sketchy, it is a positive signal for China-US trade relations under Trump, following the recent turbulence(動蕩), according to Bai Ming, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.
“This is sign that Trump is leaving the door open for pragmatic cooperation with Chinese firms, which he thinks could help the US economy and create jobs.” Bai told the Global Times.
It is important that ALibaba strikes a balance between expanding overseas and strengthening its base in China, Mei noted. Bai said the meeting also offers a pattern that other Chinese companies can follow in expanding to the US under Trump. “They have to stress how many jobs you can create in the US in talking with Trump,” he said.
32. Under President Trump, China-US relations may be _______.
A. a little troublesome
B. more harmonious
C. completely unchanged
D. extremely hopeless
33. According to the passage, we know __________.
A. Jack Ma devoted himself to bettering China-US relations
B. the meeting set up a bridge for China-US trade
C. Jack Ma aimed to create more employment through cooperation
D. the specific details discussed at the meeting were clear
34. Bai Ming’s remarks were quoted mainly to stress ________.
A. Jack Ma’s success
B. the effect of the meeting
C. Trump’s attitude
D. the pattern to follow
35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
