While the __38__ of the Internet was definitely a __39__ factor to my decision, this was not the only reason I decided to fly __40__.

We __52__ ourselves and asked them what was happening around town. When this resulted in an __53__ to a beautiful Estonian home by a river where we enjoyed a 110-degree wood-stove sauna(桑拿), __54__ picked forest-mushrooms and the good __55__ of our five new-found Estonian friends, we sure were glad we had left our bossy aunt at home.

As Apple's long awaited iPhone X hit shelves around the world, Samsung's newest ad uses the opportunity to

make a mockery of the last 10 years of iPhone products. __①__

Samsung's latest advertisement, released through the company's YouTube channel, highlights how apparently late to the game Apple has been with each version of the iPhone over the last decade as compared to other smartphones, from waterproofing to the headphone jack. __②__

The video follows a character upgrading his Apple iPhone each year, and each year continuing to miss out on features like water-proofing, the headphone jack and more, as he compares to Samsung models that do have these features ahead of the iPhone.

Apple's iPhone X notch(V型切口) has been widely criticized by tech experts, who have called the design “odd” and “ridiculous.” The reason for the peculiar design is to accommodate a front-facing camera and facial-recognition technology in a device that Apple advertises as “all screen.”

__③__ In 2016, the South Korean firm made fun of its rival's phones as it launched the Galaxy Note 7, zeroing in on the lack of a headphone jack (which many Apple customers complained about). To go back even further, Samsung released videos on YouTube in 2014 and in a 2013 Superbowl teaser also, mocking Apple smartphones and watches.

The new Galaxy Note 8 by Samsung launched well before the Apple iPhone X, and comes with two rear cameras with two OIS, a much bigger 6.3-inch OLED full display with 18：9 aspect ratio, It also has a much bigger battery than Apple's iPhone X—although Samsung doesn't like to talk too much about batteries, given the fiasco with the Galaxy Note 7.

__④__ Apple may not be too troubled by the mockery conveyed by the Samsung's advertisement: the new iPhone is already sold out, and reports of strong demand around the world have driven the company's stock to new all-time highs in recent days. And, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery(恭维): a new trial has been ordered to determine how much Samsung should pay Apple for copying the look of the iPhone.

There's another irony to this battle: Samsung has a vested(既定的) interest in the iPhone X's success, given that Samsung supplies the OLED display, NAND flash and the DRAM chips in the iPhone.

( )58. Where should the sentence “The ad is not Samsung's first offence against Apple.” be placed in the passage?

A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④

( )59. The underlined word “fiasco” in paragraph 6 means ________． A. privilege B. creativity C. disaster D. suspension

( )60. According to the passage, which of the following statements may the writer be in favor of? A. Samsung's latest advertisement is nothing more than a made-up story.

B. Different versions of the iPhone have always taken the lead in waterproofing. C. Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8 copied the look of the Apple iPhone X. D. Samsung is likely to develop better through cooperation with Apple.

C

Competition is an ideology(意识形态) that spreads all over our society and misleads our thinking. But it means no profits for anybody, no meaningful differentiation, and a struggle for survival. We advocate competition, see it as necessary, and set its laws; and as a result, we trap ourselves within it—the more we compete, the less we gain.

Our educational system both drives and reflects our craze for competition. Grades alone are precise measurement of each student's competitiveness; pupils with the highest marks receive status and credits. And it gets worse as students rise to higher levels of the tournament. Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce competition with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turning into conformists (顺从者), students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in rapidly rising tuition. Why are we doing this to ourselves?

I wish I had asked myself when I was younger. My path was so tracked that in my 8th-grade yearbook, one

of my friends predicted—accurately—that four years later I would enter Stanford. And I enrolled at Stanford Law School, where I competed even harder for the standard badges(徽章) of success. The highest prize in a law student's world is unambiguous: the Supreme Court clerkship. I was so close to winning this last competition. If only I got the clerkship, I thought, I would be set for life. But I didn't. At the time, I was frustrated.

In 2004, after I had built and sold PayPal, I ran into an old friend who had helped me prepare my failed clerkship applications. We hadn't spoken in nearly a decade. His first words to me were not “Hi Peter” or “How are you doing？” But rather, “So, aren't you glad you didn't get that clerkship？” Because if I hadn't lost that last competition, we both knew that I never would have left the track laid down since middle school. Had I actually clerked on the Supreme Court, I probably would have spent my entire career taking depositions or drafting other people's business deals instead of creating anything new. It's hard to say how much would be different, but the_opportunity_costs_were_enormous.

Looking back at my ambition to become a lawyer, it looks less like a plan for the future and more like an excuse for the present. It was a way to explain to anyone who would ask—to my parents, to my peers, and most of all to myself—that there was no need to worry. I was perfectly on track. But it turned out that my biggest problem was taking the track without thinking really hard about where it was going.

( )61. Students compete at school because ________．

A. they are assessed by grades B. they are under peer pressure C. they want to find a secure job D. the tuition increases quickly ( )62. We can learn from paragraph 3 that the writer ________．

A. didn't have a clear plan for future B. did badly in study in the 8th grade C. wasn't a capable student in college D. didn't want to obtain the clerkship

( )63. The underlined sentence “the opportunity costs were enormous”(in paragraph 4) shows the writer ________.

A. is unsure whether his choice is correct B. regrets failing clerkship applications C. is happy about not getting the clerkship D. thinks he could have had a better career ( )64. The writer shares his life story mainly to argue that ________.

A. people shouldn't support competition B. grades cannot reflect students' ability C. failure can be a good thing sometimes D. we shouldn't follow other people blindly

D

This passage is adapted from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronté.

Seeing me, she recovered herself: she made a sort of effort to smile, and expressed a few words of congratulations; but the smile disappeared, and the sentence was abandoned unfinished. She put up her glasses and pushed her chair back from the table.

“I feel so astonished，” she began, “I hardly know what to say to you, Miss Eyre. I have surely not been dreaming, have I? Sometimes I half fall asleep when I am sitting alone and fancy things that have never happened. It has seemed to me more than once when I have been in a doze(打盹), that my dear husband, who died fifteen years since, has come in and sat down beside me; and that I have even heard him call me by my name, Alice, as he used to do. Now, can you tell me whether it is actually true that Mr. Rochester has asked you to marry him? Don't laugh at me. But I really thought he came in here five minutes ago, and said that in a month you would be his wife.”

“He has said the same thing to me，” I replied.

“He has! Do you believe him? Have you accepted him？” “Yes.”

She looked at me confused. “I could never have thought it. He is a proud man; all the Rochesters were proud; and his father at least, liked money. He, too, has always been called careful. He means to marry you？”

“He tells me so.”

She surveyed my whole person: in her eyes I read that they had there found no charm powerful enough to solve the mystery.

“It passes me！” she continued, “but no doubt it is true since you say so. How it will answer I cannot tell: I really don't know. Equality of position and fortune is often advisable in such cases; and there are twenty years of difference in your ages. He might almost be your father.”

“No, indeed, Mrs. Fairfax！” I protested(抗议), annoyed; “he is nothing like my father! No one, who saw us together, would suppose it for an instant. Mr. Rochester looks as young, and is as young, as some men of twenty-five.”

“Is it really for love he is going to marry you？” she asked.

I was so hurt by her coldness and skepticism, that the tears rose to my eyes. “I am sorry to make you unhappy，” continued the widow(寡妇), “but you are so young, and so little acquainted with men, I wished to put you on your guard. It is an old saying that ‘all is not gold that glitters’； and in this case I do fear there will be something found to be different to what either you or I expect.”

“Why？—am I a monster？” I said. “Is it impossible that Mr. Rochester should have a sincere affection for me？”

“No: you are very well; and much improved recently; and Mr. Rochester, I dare say, is fond of you. I have always noticed that you were a sort of pet of his. There are times when, for your sake, I have been a little uneasy at his marked preference, and have wished to put you on your guard; but I did not like to suggest even the possibility of wrong. I knew such an idea would shock, perhaps offend you; and you_were_so_discreet(审慎的),_and_so_thoroughly_modest_and_sensible,_I hoped you might be trusted to protect yourself. Last night I cannot tell you what I suffered when I sought all over the house, and could find you nowhere, nor the master either; and then, at twelve o'clock, saw you come in with him.”

“Well, never mind that now，” I interrupted impatiently; “it is enough that all was right.” “I hope all will be right in the end，” she said: “but, believe me, you cannot be too careful. Try and keep Mr. Rochester at a distance: distrust yourself as well as him. Gentlemen_in_his_station_are_not_accustomed_to_marry_their_governesses._”

( )65. The passage makes it clear that Miss Eyre and Mr. Rochester ________. A. will get married because they feel affection for each other B. do not really know each other well enough to become engaged C. will not live happily because they will be rejected by society D. have a relationship that is not typical in their society

( )66. Miss Eyre' feelings about her relationship with Mr. Rochester can be best described as ________.

A. confident B. unbelievable C. sensitive D. unreliable

A. a mystery that cannot be solved by her

B. an object that appears to be something but really is another C. a game used to entertain the innocent and naive

D. a shiny jewel that holds more value than it appears to

( )68. We may infer from the passage that Miss Eyre and Mrs. Fairfax are alike because they both ________.

A. believe that Mr. Rochester should not marry his governess B. believe that Mr. Rochester will break Miss Eyre's heart C. are of the same age and social class

D. believe that Mr. Rochester is fond of Miss Eyre

( )69. The phrase “you were so discreet, and so thoroughly modest and sensible” is used by Mrs.
