In this semester, Professor Van Rijnsoever of Utrecht University of the Netherlands is to teach" Dutch Culture in the World", in English.
The language is the university's choice. Actually sixty percent of masters' programs at Utrecht University are in English At higher degrees' level, no courses are taught in Dutch at al.
Utrecht is not alone.
The University of Eindhoven has even completely kicked the Dutch language out of its campus. Even the sandwiches in the stores there are sold as cheese rather than with the Dutch word "kaas".
As a result, the Netherlands has one of the world's highest levels of English proficiency （流利）among non-native speaking countries, second only to Sweden.
But not everyone is happy with that.
"I don't mind. Most of the literature is in English, "says Professor Van Rijnsoever. "As a teacher it's not that much of a problem because we also do research in English. For the students, you see they are struggling to express themselves properly. "
He added, "We aren't as good at English as they think we are. We shouldn't use a weaker language in education. If we use just English in higher education, Dutch will get worse. We add a bit of English and we lose a bit of Dutch. We cannot master Dutch and English at the same time. "
Actually, English is so widely used in Dutch universities that a group of lecturers are worried about a possible "linguicide" and demanded that the universities stop creating more courses in English until an official research has been carried out.
"Dutch is our mother tongue. Our culture is based on Dutch, "says Annette de Groot, a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. "What would happen to our identity（身份）if our mother tongue is no longer the main language of higher education "
"It is high time for an honest debate, "said a teacher from the University of Erasmus. 24. Which university teaches all its courses in English
A. Utrecht. B. Eindhoven. C. Amsterdam. D. Erasmus.
25. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 6 refer to
A. The highest level of English proficiency in the Netherlands.
B. The teaching of "Dutch Culture in the World" in English.
C. The kick-out of the Dutch language from all schools.
D. The widespread use of English in the Dutch universities.
26. What can we learn from Van Rijnsoever's words
A. The all-English courses might weaken the mastery of Dutch.
B. Students can learn two languages equally well at the same time.
C. The stress on English can help the spread of Dutch culture.
D. The students of Utrecht are happy with the all-English courses.
27. What is "linguicide"
A. The birth of a language. B. The loss of one's cultural identity.
C. The war between cultures. D. The popularity of a language.

Canada Day is the year's biggest national party. In many towns and cities, the government organizes a lot of events, often outdoors. These include parades, concerts, festivals, firework displays and ceremonies for new Canadian citizens. The celebrations often have a patriotic（爱国的）mood.

The celebrations in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, are especially grand and exciting.

On April 30, 2020, the world's most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenth International Jazz Day, with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as a unifying voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, the jazz audience continues to grow older because the music has failed to attract the younger generations. It's their job to help change that.
Jason Moran, the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, was one of the musicians. He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable.
"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite（胃口）. "Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "I hope that the younger generations understand that jazz is not black anymore. It's actually colorful, and it's actually digital. "
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music has been lost. "Today, the music can't be presented the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same. "says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party. "I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music. "says Moran. "For me, it's just to re-contextualize. Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context. It can be adapted to（适应）different situations. "
During the interview, he asked, "In music, where does the feeling lie Are we, as humans, gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Waller record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts "
He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continue those dialogues for the year.
32. Why did the musicians meet online on April 30
A. To celebrate the Jazz Day. B. To show the value of jazz.
C. To remember the birth of jazz. D. To protect different jazz cultures.
33. What does the underlined word "re-contextualize" in paragraph6 mean
A. To mix jazz with other music. B. To adapt to different situations.
C. To be performed by different bands. D. To play with more advanced instruments.
34. What does Moran think of jazz
A. It will disappear gradually. B. It should be black and white.
C. It has to keep up with the times. D. It has become more popular.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Rise and Fall of Jazz B. Goals Set for Jazz Day 2020
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. The New Problems With Jazz

It is also worried about the plastic pots that hold the plants and the type of peat（泥炭）that the plants are grown in.

W: Bill Bird is a shoemaker. He now cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of customers. He asks for more than 300 dollars for one pair of shoes. Customers travel hundreds of kilometers to have their feet measured. His shoe-making shop is in the countryside near London. He makes shoes for people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very narrow. The shoes are at least as good as those found in ordinary shops. Mr. Bird says, "My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers. Young people all seem to prefer to work with computers these days. We will lose the necessary skills soon because there are fewer and fewer shoemakers nowadays. I am 45, and now I want to teach young people everything I know about making shoes. It's a good job, and a lot of people want to buy beautiful shoes made specially for them. "He started working in the business 19 years ago and now he employs three other people. His customers pay about 500 dollars for their first pair of shoes. He says, "Our customers come because they want comfortable shoes which are exactly the right size. "Extra pairs of shoes cost between 320 dollars and 450 dollars as it takes one employee a whole week to make just one shoe.

One possible version:
With summer holiday coming, swimming safety becomes a big problem for all of us. I know swimming is a great way to relax and keep fit. However, not every place is suitable for us to swim. I'd like to give you some advice to keep off the danger.
The most important thing is that you are not supposed to swim in deep rivers. Besides, you'd better go with your friends or families. Before you swim you should do some warm-ups instead of jumping into water in a hurry.
What's more, you have to look after your partners while you are swimming. Of course you must avoid swimming for too long in case you and your partners will feel tired.
