To make cycling__31_____(safe) and more appealing, the Dutch have built the widest cycling network in the world. The country has over 40,000 kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths, which are clearly marked, have smooth surfaces and include separate signs and lights for those on two wheels.

A lot of the things we once thought were unique about us – language and tool use, recognizing ourselves in the mirror and so on – have since been seen in other an imals.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call ―amusic.‖ People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (⾳调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. ―I used to hate parties,‖ says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn‘t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can‘t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. ―When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ?No thanks, I‘m amusic,‘‖ says Margaret. ―I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.‖65. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.66. According to paragraph 3, a person with ―defective hearing‖ is probably one who __________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system67. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics68. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics‘ strange behaviours.B. Some people‘s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.B14days from just ￡2,090ppFully inclusive from the UKPrice cover international airfares, departure taxes, fuel charge, local transportation all meals, entrance fees, guides, daily tours and visas for UK citizens.◆Days 1-3 UK-ShanghaiFly to the great city of shanghai and in the evening sample traditional shanghai food.

The tourists will stay in Beijing for three nights before leaving for the UK CFind Which Direction Is SouthDo you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.It‘s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it‘s still morning. If you don‘t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you‘ll need to be patient.①Find a straight sick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.②Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can.

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well —she had a great job, a beautifulflat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been leaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.

I could never go back to city life now."81. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived _____life.82.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices —education, career, lifestyle —life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is in progress, but aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living.And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and innocent.Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.66. The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _____.A. end poverty and make school beautifulB. find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselvesC. end poverty and solve the problems about environmentD. find a wonderful place and clean it up67.

The passage is primarily written to _____.A. encourage people to try the new productB. instruct people how to use a new toolC. provide the latest health informationD. illustrate the importance of good sleep habit(C)Although websites such as Facebook and MySpace experienced rapid growth during the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, some users remain unaware of the fact that the information they post online can come back to haunt them. First, employers can monitor employees who maintain a blog, photo diary, or website. Employers can look for controversial(引起争议的) employee opinions, sensitive information disclosures, or wildly inappropriate conduct. For example, a North Carolina newspaper fired one of its features writers after she created a blog on which she wrote about the strange things of her job and coworkers without signing her real name.The second unintended use of information from social networking websites is employers who check on prospective employees. A June 11, 2006 New York Times article reported that many companies use search engines and social networking websites such as MySpace, Xanga, and Facebook to conduct background checks on college campuses. Although the use of MySpace or Google to check a student’s background is somewhat unsettling to many undergraduates, the Times noted that the use of Facebook is especially shocking to students who believe that Facebook is limited to current students and recent alum(校友).Corporate employers are not the only people interested in college students’ lives. The third unintended use of social networking websites is college administrators who monitor the Internet — especially Facebook — for student bad behavior. For example, a college in Boston’s Back Bay expelled (除名) its student Government Association President for joining a Facebook group highly critical of a campus police sergeant. In addition, fifteen students at a state university in North Carolina faced charges in court for underage drinking because of photos that appeared on Facebook.Although more users of websites such as Facebook are becoming aware of the potential dangers of online identities, many regular users still fail to take three basic security precautions(警惕). First, only make your information available to a specific list of individuals whom you approve. Second, regularly search for potentially harmful information about yourself that may have been posted by mistake or by a disgruntled(不满的) former associate. Third, never post obviously offensive material under your name or on your page, because, despite the best precautions, this material will likely make its way to the wider world. By taking these simple steps, members of the digital world can realize the many benefits of e-community without experiencing some of the damaging unintended consequences.74. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. explain the growth of the digital world from the view of privacyB. discuss the risks of the digital world and suggest ways to protect yourselfC. propose steps Facebook, MySpace, and Google can take to protect user privacyD. illustrate potential unintended uses of private information75. The writer implies that users should take all of the following actions to protect their online privacy EXCEPT _____.A. know to whom you make your online information availableB. actively hunt for damaging information posted about you or under your nameC. speak with employers to inform them of any misinformation published about youD. avoid uploading information that would be extremely damaging if it were discovered76. According to the passage, which of the following does the author imply?A. Information obtained unwillingly from the Internet is permitted in court.B. It is impossible to protect yourself from unintended uses of information online.C. Even if you restrict who can view your data, the government may still access it.D. Done properly, posting offensive information about oneself brings no risk.77. In the last paragraph the author mainly _____.A. offers detailed examples to support previous viewpointsB. further explores the ill-effects of the Internet on the protection of privacyC. summarizes the points of the above paragraphsD. provides suggestions to overcome the previously mentioned problemsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.New technology links the world as never before. Our plant has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often help support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.”He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(流行的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employer at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN SIX WORDS.)78. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind”in paragraph 3 probably means ________________.79. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?80. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations inemploying people today?81. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can __________________.第II卷(共47分)I.

Reading comprehensionSection AOn the list of items people worry about, money is almost always at the top.Within hours of a recent major stock market __50__, I telephoned my Ford dealer and ordered the car that I test-drove the day before. As my friends pointed out, it seemed the Dow Jones Industrial Average（道琼斯工业平均指数）didn't have much to do with my financial situation and shouldn't affect my __51__. Besides, my old car had caused me headaches for months. Still, I spent the evening asking myself: Could I afford a new car? Should I be saving __52__ spending?A study in the Wall Street Journal found that 70 percent of the public lives from paycheck to paycheck. Mortgage(抵押贷款) debt has increased 300 percent since 1975. Most marriages that fail __53__ financial problems as a leading factor.When the Dow fell 554 points last October, millions of people lost billions of dollars, on paper anyway. There was expert __54__ on Wall Street and old-fashioned worry on Main Street as well. Our reaction confirmed what we already knew: We are a people __55__ by financial stress.As the Bible tells us, worrying about money — or anything else for that matter — won't do us any __56__. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Jesus asked. __57__, it is an unusual person who can live free from __58__ stress, or who can spend money on others as easily as he __59__ it on himself.John Wesley was one of that __60__ breed. The founder of Methodism had the highest earned income in 18th century England, but he gave it all away. His philosophy about money was simple: “Earn all you can, save all you can, __61__ all you can.”For most of us, financial security is an elusive（难以达到的）goal. No matter how much we have, it's not __62__. Kahlil Gibran put it this way: “The fear of need is the thirst that can not be satisfied.” When the stock market falls, we can panic and __63__ whether we have enough.

Children in some countries “learn time slowly”because “they don’t wear watches”and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time.” The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults —— and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course —— it’s the Flik Flak made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marked as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course; it merely “captures their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue” minute on the dial, while Flak point to red hour number. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it “kidproof”: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.The author doesn’t seem to believe ______________.A the Flik Flak can capture children’s imaginationB a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell timeC children will be on time if they have learnt how to tell timeD children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches66 The underlined word “handicap” (Para 1) means _________.A displeasureB disadvantageC disappointmentD discouragement67 Flik and Flak in the passage stand for ________.A a tall boy and a beautiful girlB the designers of the watchC the Swiss watch companyD the minute hand and the hour hand68 The United States sales manager calls the new watch “kidproof” because _________.A it is designed to teach children to be on timeB it proves to be effective in teaching children timeC it is made so as not to be easily damaged by childrenD it is the children’s favourite watch69 Which of the following is discouraged by the Friends organization?A To bulid massive complexes for public amusement.B To prevent possible damages to the National Park.C To help protect and improve the Park for all to enjoy.D To sponsor publication sand projects in local school.70 One of the benefits for members of Friends is to .A have Friends’ goods free of chargeB visit any place not open to the publicC take part in work parties if they want toD give talks in their fields on current issues71 The purpose of this poster is to invite more people to_______________.A raise money for the Friends organizationB join the Friends organization and be members of itC work as managers for Pembroke shire National ParkD enjoy the landscape of Pembroke shire National Park(C)Feeling blue about world? “Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he’s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good．And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book．The Rational Optimist．He views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years．He backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of research．Here’s how he explains his views．1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone．Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better ears, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us．This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be．2）Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper．Take one example．In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work．In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for．In 1950 it was eight seconds．Today it’s half second．3）Let’s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating（减轻）climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself．A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel electricity is forbidden by well - meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change．If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose - bleed by putting a tourniquet（止血带）around our necks．71 What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?A．Weakness of human nature．B．Concern about climate change．C．Importance of practical thinking．D．Optimism about human progress．72 How does Ridley look at shopping?A．It encourages the creation of things．B．It results in shortage of goods．C．It demands more fossil fuels．D ．It causes a poverty problem ．73 The candle and lamp example is used to show that ．A ．oil lamps give off more light than candlesB ．shortening working time brings about a happier life ．C ．advanced technology helps to produce better candles ．D ．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods ．74 What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A ．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost ．B ．Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous ．C ．People ’s health is closely related to climate change ．D ．Careless medical treatment may cause great pain ．Section C76.What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation.77.There are many occasions for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one ’s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.78.Emotions like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada andelsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift isunique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.79.Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special”. We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.80.People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come. Section DThis was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry”. This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing—the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meani ng doesn’t happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informational charts as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.” But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. Why was this class very unusual?82. The experiment was designed to help teachers find out ________.83. The poetry class was different from science and engineering classes in that __________.84. What influence did the experiment had on those professors?第II 卷(共45分)I. Translation这座历史上出名的庙当地人很熟悉。

Oh，God! My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"（1）Paddy cried because he thought．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character（2）The underlined sentence "She half﹣rose before sinking back…" in

between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish（3）What can be inferred from the passage？A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer's Sentence of Life Imprisonment．B．The police found Gumming unconscious，heavily struck by Frank．C．The family didn't find out what had happened to Frank until 3years later．D．Frank didn't want his family to know the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．（4）What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．（6分）Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to

and in November．6．（8分）The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing ﹣Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn，but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn't have any physical product at all．What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives．Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May's enemies are currently plotting？It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns，but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy．For one thing，it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy．By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace，to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem，too．Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for thebenefit of the digital giants．Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed，so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield．Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫）feed；Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes．It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its．A．digital productsB．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities mayA．worsen political disputesB．mess up customer recordsC．pose a risk to Facebook usersD．mislead the European commission（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A．they are no defined as customersB．they are not financially reliableC．these services are generally digitalD．the services are paid for by advertisers（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrateA．a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB．a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC．the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD．the relationship between digital giants and their usersSection C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.

Summary Writing 10%8．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the main point （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．The benefits of having a higher education are manifold（多样的）and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises，below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve asjustification for a higher education．For many high school students，it is hard to imagine what the long term benefits of a college education might be．College is demanding；the work seems challenging，and meeting all new people seems overwhelming．However，what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values，You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences．As opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education．These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students．Therefore，one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person's life．Besides，the fact that you'll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education．Indeed，a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force，it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you．Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college．This is a time of exploration，and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent．One more justification for higher education could be that its best way to enhance yourself in an all﹣round way．Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement，because perhaps more than anything else，what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future．You never know where your talent could reach．So higher education can provide you can with the chance to realize your personal value．Therefore never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education，which surely will bring you something beyond expectation．V.

out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine （疫苗）．But the disease is making a comeback，caused by a growing anti﹣vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly．Already this year，115 measles cases have been reported in the USA，compared with 189 for all of last year．The numbers might sound small，but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend．When vaccination rates are very high，as they still are in the nation as a whole，everyone is protected．This is called "herd immunity"，which protects the people who get hurt easily，including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons，babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work．But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in．When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride，immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger．That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County，California，where 22 measles cases were reported this month，to Brooklyn，N．Y．，where a 17﹣year﹣old caused an outbreak last year．The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades，and it is driven by a real but very small risk．Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer．Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out （决定不参加）of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten．Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免），sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine．Now，several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out．But no one does enough to limit exemptions．Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons．Butpersonal opinions？Not good enough．Everyone enjoys the life﹣saving benefits vaccines provide，but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks．（1）The first two paragraphs suggest that．A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC．anti﹣vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD．information about measles spreads quickly（2）Herd immunity works well when．A．exemptions are allowedB．several vaccines are used togetherC．the whole neighborhood is involved inD．new regulations are added to the state laws（3）What is the main reason for the comeback of measles？A．The overuse of vaccine．B．The lack of medical care．C．The features of measles itself．D．The vaccine opt﹣outs of some people．（4）What is the purpose of the passage？A．To introduce the idea of exemption．B．To discuss methods to cure measles．C．To stress the importance of vaccination．D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment．18．（6分）Suppose you're in a rush，feeling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send"．You freeze in horrors and burn with shame．What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．Clicking "send" too soonDon't waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologizing for yourmistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture（i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．Clicking "reply all" unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal（透露）to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light﹣hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly﹣see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．（1）If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best to．A．apologise in a serious mannerB．tell the receiver to ignore the errorC．learn to write the name correctlyD．send a short notice to everyone（2）What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email？A．Try offering other choices．B．Avoid further involvement．C．Meet other staff members．D．Make a light﹣hearted apology．（3）What is the passage mainly about？A．Defining email errors．B．Reducing email mistakes．C．Handling email accidents．D．Improving email writing．19．（8分）Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents．Sir Alexander Fleming did not，aslegend would have it，look at the mold （霉）on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then．He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery．Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error．Innovation is like soccer；even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score．The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal﹣and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity．The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach．Everybody gets ideas，but innovators work consciously on theirs，and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise．What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions，professional innovators see as solid possibilities．"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there's no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done．" Wrote Rudolph Flesch， a language authority．This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient："How come nobody thought of that before？"The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears．Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything．Faced with getting from A to B，the average person will automatically set out on the best﹣known and apparently simplest route．The innovator will search for alternate courses，which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends．Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer．（1）What does the author probably mean by "untaught mind" in the first paragraph？A．An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident．B．A person who has had no education．C．A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity．D．A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation．（2）According to the author，what differs innovators from non﹣innovators？A．The way they present their findings．B．The way they deal with problems．C．The intelligence they possess．D．The variety of ideas they have．（3）The phrase "march to a different drummer" （the last line of the passage）suggests that highly creative individuals are．A．unwilling to follow common ways of doing thingsB．diligent in pursuing their goalsC．concerned about the advance of societyD．devoted to the progress of science（4）The most suitable title for this passage might be．A．The Relation Between Creation and DiligenceB．To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human CreativityC．What Are So Special about Creative IndividualsD．Discoveries and InnovationSection C Directions：Completethefollowingpassagebyusingthesentencesgivenbelow．Eachsentencecanbeusedonly once．Notethattherearetwomoresentencesthanyouneed．20．（8分）A．So if they're not building by imitation or carrying out instructions，how is this knowledge getting passed around？B．Crafting tool is a kind of culture，which can be passed down from generation to generation by crows．C．However，the crows only got treats when they popped in a paper "coin" of a certain size．D．These birds，native to the islands of New Caledonia east of Australia，are known for their ability to craft tools．AB．Seeing this in action is important because it supports the idea that New Caledonian crows are capable of building﹣at least when it comes to crafting tools．AC．Jelbert and her team then gave the crows paper to let them cut into proper size．There's no denying crows are smart．They can remember where food has been hidden，recognize faces and craft tools．And，according to a new paper in Scientific Reports，some crows can even make those tools from memory．This skill may point to these clever corvids having a sort of culture of their own．Researchers，led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge，worked specifically with New Caledonian crows．（1）But experts haven't been able to make sure where the crows pick up their skills．A bird in one area can construct the same tool as another bird miles away ﹣but there's no evidence bird one watched bird two build the gadget in order to copy it．And New Caledonian crows don't really have a language，either．（2）Jelbert and her team had a hunch（预感）that it was because the birds were building based on the memory of tools they'd seen．To test this，the group trained eight crows to place pieces of paper into a pseudo﹣vending machine （really just a wooden box）to get a treat．（3）Once they learned which sizes were rewarded，Jelbert and her team then gave the feathered participants large cards；the birds could fashion these into the coin sizes they'd picked up on earlier．Importantly，the crows didn't get any sort of template（模板）when they were working with the big cards．And the birds snipped them into pieces that were similar in size to the coins they'd learned would get them treats．Given the lack of a template to copy，it seems the crows were able to construct mental images of the coins and use it to replicate a tool．（4）These birds can see something and not just build it from memory，but potentially make improvements in their designs．"Most importantly，" the authors say in the study，"an improvement made by a crow during its lifetime could become part of the template learnt by subsequent generations，leading to an increase in tool complexity over time．" And this progression is a key component of cultural progression．Jelbert and her team recognize there's still work to be done to see if their hypothesis is solid，like testing how long the crows can remember their mental images of the tools．I．Summary（15%）21．（15分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated．Use your own words as far as possible．Are your children getting on your last nerve？Did a coworker's comment rub you the wrong way？There's no need to plug the steam coming out of your ears．In fact，science now gives you full permission to release those emotions；you might actually be happier for it．If that seems counterintuitive（违反直觉的），hear us out．A new study suggests that people tend to be happier if they can feel and express emotions as they want．That goes for unpleasant emotions like anger and hatred，too．An international team of researchers recruited 2，300 university students from the United States，Brazil，China，Germany，Ghana，Israel，Poland，and Singapore．They then asked the participants to tell them which emotions they desired and which ones they actually felt，and then compared those responses to how the participants rated their overall happiness or life satisfaction．The results showed an interesting trend．While participants wanted to experience more pleasant emotions，they reported higher life satisfaction if the emotions they experienced matched those they desired．More surprising still，11 percent of people wanted to feel lessof positive emotions，such as love and empathy，and 10 percent of people wanted to feel more negative emotions，such as hatred and anger．At first glance，these results might seem confusing．But there's a simple explanation，according to the study's authors．Happiness is "more than simply feeling pleasure and avoiding pain，" they write．It is also learning to release negative emotions when you feel them，instead of ignoring them or bottling them up．"If you feel emotions you want to feel，even if they're unpleasant，then you're better off，" lead researcher Dr Maya Tamir from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem told the BBC News website．Translation （15%）Directions：Translate the following sentences into English，using the words given in the

Each passag e is following by several questions or unfinished statements. Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the formation given in th e passage.ASometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others unti l you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you c an’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Rob erts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lo t harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a po sitive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includ es the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold ab out us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative t han they should be. Thus changing the way you think about you rself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. Tha t is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great thi ngs you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly becaus e you aren’t good at maths, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If y ou think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, bu y a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it do esn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing th e way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!56．You need to build a positive self-image when you _____________.A. dare to challenge you rselfB. feel it hard to change yo urselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of y ourself57．According to the passage, our self-images __________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions 58．How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A. To keep a different im age of others.B. To make your life succe ssful.C. To understand your o wn world.D. To change the way you think.59．What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for yo ur success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positiv e self-image.D. How to develop your go od qualities.60．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parent s.B. Adolescents/Teenagers.C. Educators.D.

Fathehp ur SikriCSometimes pollutants and diseases can rob people of their se nse of smell, says Richard Doty. He leads a team who has studi ed the problem since the 1980s.Back then, people knew little about what and how well people could smell. Doctors simply lacked a tool to measure people’s scent detection. So Doty developed a smell test, based on 40 di fferent cards. Each card carries a different odor( 气味). A person’s score equals the total number of correctly identif ied scents. The cards allow doctors to measure how many scen ts people can detect and thus determine whether they lose the sense of smell. Today, this test is used by laboratories around t he world.In the project, Doty’s team used the cards to test smokers. Th e test showed that the more cigarettes people smoked, the poor er their ability to identify chocolate, rubber, apple and other sce nts. In another, Doty tested 99 people who breathed in smoke a nd dust. He found their sense of smell was generally not as sen sitive as that of other people. The study showed certain pollutan ts can harm our sense of smell.Actually, the major interest for Doty is the link between the se nse of smell and Parkinson’s disease, which strikes millions of mostly older people worldwide. It causes shaking in patients an d makes it difficult for them to walk, talk, eat and smell. So a sm ell test could help diagnose the disease much sooner than usua l. That could give patients access to early treatment.Doty’s research team is also working with patients who have b egun taking medication for Parkinson’s disease. They give smel l tests to the patients and scan their brains, using an imaging de vice called SPECT.“So far, the smell tests are proving to be more sensitive than th e brain scans, ”Doty says. The findings suggest it may be possi ble for doctors to use inexpensive smell tests to diagnose Parki nson’s disease even before the disease shows up in far more e xpensive brain scans. While the research is under preparation, Doty says, it has a bright future.66. The 40 different cards’ test was developed by Doty in order to___________.A. guide the doctors to help the older people better.B. measure people’s ability to identify scents.C. help people know how they could smell better.D. check if older people will lose their sense of smell.67. Two examples are mentioned in the third paragraph to sho w that____________.A. the card test has shifted Doty’s attentionB. the card test has benefited the doctors a lotC. the card test is widely used all over the worlds.D. the card test brought Doty’s team unexpected findings68. According to the passage, what interests Doty most is _____ ________.A. how the sense of smell limits people’s behaviorsB. how smokers are losing their sense of smellC. how the sense of smell is linked to Parkinson’s diseaseD. how Parkinson’s disease makes it difficult to walk69. How does the test help older people who suffer from Parkin son’s disease?A. By offering them cheaper medicineB. By giving them access to early treatmentC. By diagnosing their disease much more carefullyD. By offering them a second chance to scan their brains70. We can infer from the passage that the research is________ ____A. hopefulB. negativeC. uncertainD. imaginativePart Four: Writing(45’) Section A (10’)Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO M ORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Volunteer vacations are short-term service opportunities abroad or in another culture or destin ation at home. The main purpose of a volunteer vacation is to p ut yourself at the service of the local community, and to contribu te to community development projects. Meanwhile, a volunteer vacation combines volunteer work and travel, and you’ll want to have a good time as well as explore places which are unfamilia r to you.On a volunteer vacation, you serve others on a wide variety ofmeaningful work projects, and at the same time have various u nforgettable experiences. As you are working, you will experien ce from inside the community the local culture that you would n ever receive on a typical vacation. You will meet new people an d develop friendships that may last a lifetime. You will do somet hing new, different and worthwhile. When you return home, one thing is certain: you will know that you have changed yourself i n some way as a result of the volunteer work you have complet ed.Here are tips to ensure your volunteer vacation abroad will be s uccessful and enjoyable.Researching the location is quite necessary. Take the local clim ate into consideration before making your decision. If you hate r ain, for instance, you probably don’t want to work in a place wh ere it rains every day. Do you prefer to work in an urban setting or physically-challenging environment?Then you’d better do some research into the social environment . Try to gain an understanding of the political climate of where y ou’re heading to avoid any possible trouble. You’ll also want to l earn as much about the local culture and language as possible. Learning even simple phrases like “thank you” and “hello” is a step in the right direction. Become knowledgeable about local c ustoms so you don’t show disrespect to your hosts.ExperiencesTitle:717277to put oneself at the service of the local community to make contributions to 73to have a good timeto explore 7475meeting new people and developing friendships doing something new, different and worthwhile76 as a result of volunteer work78Consider the local climateConsider the working environmentResearch the social environment79 the political climateLearn about the local culture, language and 80Section B (10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questio ns according to the information given in the passage.The history of bowling can be traced back to the Stone Age. The first evidence of the game was discovered by the Briton Si r Flinders and his team of archaeologists in in the 1930s. He fo und a collection of objects in a small child’s grave that appeare d to belong to the origin form of the game. However, some have argued that the game evolved much later than that. William Pe hle, a German historian, claimed that it started in around 300 A D, having its origin as a religious ceremony.In , bowling began as early as the 1100s. Throughout , sev eral kinds of bowling existed during the mid 1300s, but the first written mention of the game was made by King Edward III in 13 66. He banned playing it among his troops, because it was distr acting them from training, Later, during the times of King Henry VIII, the game’s popularity increased, and it became a symbol o f nobility and high social status.Bowling has been popular in since Colonial days. During t he 17th century, English, Dutch and German settlers imported t heir own version of the game to . At that time, it consisted of nine pins ( 保龄球等的木瓶), and was regularly played in an area of New York City still k nown as Bowling Green.The American Bowling Congress was formed on Septemb er 9, 1895, and made contributions towards standardizing bowli ng in the United States and organizing the first official competiti on. The Women’s Bowling League followed in 1917.Over the years, the game has changed a lot. A variety of t actics (策略) have been developed. The invention of automatic pinspotter ( 保龄球自动服务机) in the 1940s changed both the game and the industry. Curr ently, the sport is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than nin ety countries worldwide.81. What is the origin of the game of bowling? ( no more than 5 words)82.

Oh，God! My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"（1）Paddy cried because he thought．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character（2）The underlined sentence "She half﹣rose before sinking back…" in Paragraph 6 shows that．A．Fee was so heart﹣broken that she could hardly stand upB．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see FrankD．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish（3）What can be inferred from the passage？A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer's Sentence of Life Imprisonment．B．The police found Gumming unconscious，heavily struck by Frank．C．The family didn't find out what had happened to Frank until 3years later．D．Frank didn't want his family to know the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．（4）What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．（6分）Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to

years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn't have any physical product at all．What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives．Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May's enemies are currently plotting？It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns，but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy．For one thing，it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy．By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace，to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem，too．Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for thebenefit of the digital giants．Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed，so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield．Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫）feed；Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes．It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its．A．digital productsB．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities mayA．worsen political disputesB．mess up customer recordsC．pose a risk to Facebook usersD．mislead the European commission（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A．they are no defined as customersB．they are not financially reliableC．these services are generally digitalD．the services are paid for by advertisers（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrateA．a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB．a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC．the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD．the relationship between digital giants and their usersSection C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.

Summary Writing 10%8．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the main point （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．The benefits of having a higher education are manifold（多样的）and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises，below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve asjustification for a higher education．For many high school students，it is hard to imagine what the long term benefits of a college education might be．College is demanding；the work seems challenging，and meeting all new people seems overwhelming．However，what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values，You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences．As opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education．These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students．Therefore，one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person's life．Besides，the fact that you'll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education．Indeed，a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force，it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you．Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college．This is a time of exploration，and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent．One more justification for higher education could be that its best way to enhance yourself in an all﹣round way．Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement，because perhaps more than anything else，what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future．You never know where your talent could reach．So higher education can provide you can with the chance to realize your personal value．Therefore never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education，which surely will bring you something beyond expectation．V.
