The biggest safety threat
facing airlines today may not be a man with a gun
but the man
with the portable computer in
business class. In the last 25 years, pilots have
reported well over
200 incidents that (25)
__________ have been caused by electromagnetic
interference. Unclear
(26)______________ the
source of this interference remains, increasingly,
experts have found

RTCA, an
organization which advises aviation industry, has
suggested that all airlines ban
such devices
from (28) _____________(use) during “key” stages
of flight, particularly take-off and
landing.
Some experts have gone (29)______________ (far),
calling for a total ban during all
flights.
Nowadays, rules on using these devices are left up
to airlines. And although some airlines
ban
passengers from using such equipment during take-
off and landing, most are not willing to
enforce a total ban, if many passengers want
to work during flights.
The difficulty is
understanding (30)_____________ electromagnetic
fields might affect an
aircraft's computers.
Experts know that the portable devices give off
radiation, each (31)
______________(affect)
those wavelengths which aircrafts use for
communication. But, because
they have not been
able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory,
they have no way of knowing
whether the
interference might be dangerous or not. .
The
fact that aircraft may be in trouble because of
the interference raises the risk

systems in order to damage navigation(导航)
equipment. As worrying, though, is the
passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn
off his
radio because the music's too loud.

When retailers want to tempt customers to
buying a particular product, they typically offer
it at a discount. According to a new study to
be published in the Journal of Marketing, they are
missing something.
A team of researchers,
led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota's
Carlson School of
Management looked at
consumers' attitudes to discounting. Shoppers,
they found, much prefer
getting something
extra free to getting something cheaper. The main
reason is that most people
are useless at
__41__.
Consumers often struggle to realize,
for example, that a 50% increase in quantity is
the same
as a 33% discount in price. They
overwhelmingly __42__ the former is better value.
In an
experiment the researchers sold 73% more
hand lotion when it was offered in a bonus pack
than
when it carried an equivalent discount.
This numerical blind spot remains even when
the __43__ clearly favours the discounted
product. In another experiment, this time on
his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two options of
loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% off
the price. The discount is by far the better
proposition but the __44__ clever students
viewed them as equivalent.
Studies have shown
other ways in which retailers can __45__consumers'
innumeracy. One is
to confuse them with __46__
discounting. People are more likely to see a
bargain in a product
that has been reduced by
20%, and then by an additional 25%, than one which
has been __47__
to an equivalent, one-off, 40%
reduction.
Marketing types can __48__ lessons
beyond just pricing, says Mr. Rao. When
advertising a
new car's efficiency, for
example, it is more convincing to talk about the
number of extra miles
per gallon it does,
rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel
consumption.
There may be lessons for
regulators, too. Even well-educated shoppers are
easy to __49__.
Sending everyone back to
school for maths refresher-courses seems out of
the question. But
more __50__displayed unit
prices in shops and advertisements would be a
great help.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions: For each blank in the
following passage there are four words or phrases
marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with
the word or phrase that best fits the context.
History has not yet __51__ what we will
definitively call the postmillennial cohort

million people in the U. S. These kids and __53__
with no concept of life __54__ the Internet
have so far been called the App Generation and
Generation Z. They've been referred to as
Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of
terrorism. They've also been __55__ the
plurals, for their historic diversity, as well as
the
Founders, at least by MTV.
Whatever we
__56__ naming them, marketers and academics are
turning their attention to
this group, which
has billions in __57__ and is already shaping the
culture. This generation is
growing up
“totally and utterly connected,says California
State University psychologist Larry
Rosen.
Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids'
Google-inspired expectations that
everything
be __58__. They worry about their inability to
__59__ even five seconds of boredom.
And they
worry about the demands that come with __60__
several identities online, from
Facebook to
twitter to Snapchat. so much pressure on young
people, who are still
__61__ their identities,
to present this crystallized, idealized identity
online,
of Washington's Katie Davis.
Historian Neil Howe sees __62__ with the
Silent Generation, the spoilt, risk-avoiding,
generation of kids who grew up during the
Great Depression and World War II, although some
marked differences are found. Today's youths
are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble
and fears about the economy, he says,
__63__schools emphasize an intense far-reaching
sensitivity to other kids. He suspects this
__64__ will be known for being well behaved and
perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.

Section B
Directions Read the following three passages.
Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. 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
Many experts complain that
media too often take advantage of the science
fiction aspects of
nanotech. Reports of
nanotech often refer to K. Eric Drexler's book
Engines of creations, which
predicts an age
full of dominant molecular manufacturing and a
world without material scarcity.
Whatever
humans need will one day be built cheaply with
microscopic self-replicating machines
that put
atoms together to create copies of anything alive
in the world -- from trees to human
bodies.
In fact, the scientific community is deeply
divided over whether self-replicating machines are
possible. If they are, major dangers could
exist. Dr. Drexler himself thought that self-
replicating
machines could go out of control.
He writes in his book that man-made
more
efficient than today’s solar cells could win over
real plants crowding the earth with leaves
that are not suitable to be eaten. Tough
“bacteria could be more competitive than the real
bacteria, they could spread everywhere,
replicate swiftly, and reduce the earth to dust in
a
matter of days.
Critics of nanotech have
made use of such images, calling for a delay on
commercial
nanotech until regulations are
established. They also point to the possible
military uses of
nanotech. Bill Joy, the co-
founder of Sun Microsystems, wrote in a Wired
magazine essay in 2000
that if nanotech falls
into the wrong hands, it could bring dangers to
society.
Opponents say Mr. Joy is over-
reacting, a way, calling for bans on research,
into
molecular manufacturing is like calling
for a delay on faster-than-light travel because no
one is
doing it.
Professor Reynolds says it
is a good idea to regulate nanotech, but in ways
the government
would regulate any that could
be dangerous. Expert controls and certification
systems for
nanotech companies are examples.
US lawmakers lave put forth four bills on nanotech
research
and development.
66. K. Eric
Drexler in his book predicts a future world with
sufficient material, because ________.
A.
man-made plants could replace real plants and grow
more quickly
B. plants produced by nanotech
would be as sufficient as today's solar
C.
man-made bacteria would be wide-spread and capable
of self-replicating
D. humans could create
copies of anything alive with high technology
67. To call for a delay on commercial nanotech
critics of nanotech make use of _________.
A.
current social problems
B. science fiction
descriptions
C. disagreements in the
scientific community
D. the fact that no one
is doing molecular manufacturing
68. Opponents
of Bill Joy would NOT agree to_________.
A.
control nanotech expert
B. ban nanotech
research to avoid any possible dangers
C. put
forth bills on nanotech research and development
D. establish a certification system for
nanotech companies
69. Which of the following
is the main idea of the passage?
A. Nanotech
should not be put into wrong use in the military
field.
B. The government should regulate
products that could be dangerous.
C. Nanotech
regulations should be established in spite of the
divided opinions.
D. The media should not
take advantage of the science fiction aspects of
nanotech.

C
Colleges and
universities were once largely removed from the
marketplace as they dedicated
themselves to
the pursuit of ideas, discovery and truth, and to
the education of students for the
common good.
In exchange, they received from society academic
freedom, tax exemptions and
the public trust.
In today's world, Professor Derek Bok, former
president of Harvard, writes in his new book
Universities in the Marketplace: the
Commercialization of Higher Education, drug
companies pour
billions of dollars into
medical school, universities sell the right to use
their scientific discoveries
to industry, and
faculty members occupy such industry endowed
chairs as the Kmart professor of
marketing.
Where commercialism on campuses was once
largely restricted to athletics, it is now
booming in medical schools and research labs,
with their ever-increasing need for resources.
And,
Professor Bok writes, with a depressed
economy, federal deficits and state cutbacks in
higher
education all contributing to chronic
money shortages on campus, college and university
administrators are under intense pressure to
become yet more entrepreneurial.
Unless
institutions remain clear about their academic
value as they pursue new
opportunities to earn
and raise money, Mr. Bok writes,
the character
of the university in ways that limit its freedom,
sap its effectiveness and lower its
standing
in society.
“Company officials, he writes,
support be kept secret while the research is
going on and for a long enough time thereafter to
allow them to decide whether to file for a
patent.
information as unsuitable for
patenting, but as permanent trade secrets instead.
This sort of secrecy, he writes, is sharply at
odds with the academic values of openness and
collegiality, and will probably inhibit
scientific progress, at least to some extent, by
limiting the
flow of information and ideas
those investigators need in order to advance their
work. In some
instances, Mr. Bok writes, drug
companies have pressured researches to suppress
unfavorable
findings.
In his book Mr. Bok
holds up big intercollegiate athletics programs,
where some football and
basketball coaches
earn annual salaries of $$500,000, students are
enrolled only for their athletic
ability and
huge amounts of money are poured into stadiums and
training facilities, as the worst
example of
how commercialization can erode the values and
goals of the institution. “Athletics is
the
one case where you can see this develop over a
long period of time and observe the kind of
irreversible problems you can get
into,
73. According to the passage,
universities sacrifice financial prosperity in
exchange for ________.
A. financial security
B. academic freedom
C. public reputation D.
admiration of tax payers
74. According to Mr.
Bok, the reason why universities are more money
oriented could be the
result of ______.
A. an ever-increasing need for resources by
medical schools and research labs
B. a
temporary shortage of funds on campus
C. the
existence of more entrepreneurial university
administrators
D. the competition coming from
the outside
75. It can be learned from the
passage that some valuable information may be
__________.
A. in store for succeeding
generations B. for want of confirmation
C. at
the mercy of some company officials D. out of
proportion to efforts involved
76. In the eyes
of Mr. Bok, the worst example of the damage done
by commercialization is
________.
A.
medical schools receiving funds from drug
companies
B. extended time needed for
patenting
C. faculty members starting their
own venture capital companies
D. big
intercollegiate athletics programs.
77. Mr.
Bok believes that the danger of commercialism lies
in the fact that __________.
A. universities
are unable to resist the investment from drug
companies
B. it could erode the values and
goals of higher education
C. universities may
use their scientific findings to do evil at will
D. it would destroy scientific progress

On
February 18, 2016, Apple launched Apple Pay, its
mobile payments service, in China.
Apple Pay
was launched with a current and planned support of
19 of the country's largest
lenders.
Paying is simple with the touch of a finger
and can happen in one motion. In stores, instead
of scanning a bar code, Apple Pay users will
only utilize what is called near-field
communication
technology (NFC) and there's no
need to open an app or wake your display. With the
innovative
NFC antenna design, simply hold
iPhone near China Unionpay's Quickpass-enabled POS
terminals
with your finger on Touch ID to pay.
With Apple watch, just double click the side
button and hold
the watch face up to the
contactless reader to make a purchase right from
your wrist. Shopping
within apps accepting
Apple Pay has never been easier and there's no
need to manually fill out
lengthy account
forms or repeatedly type in shipping and billing
information.
The following are comments on

for deployment of Apple
Pay. Apple Pay is intended to create a deeper
reliance on and
relationship with the device.
The goal is to deeply engrain the iPhone into the
user's daily life to
create lock-in and
loyalty,commented Jordan-McKee, a mobile payment
analyst with 451
Research in Boston in an
e-mail.
Chinese market already has a number of
different mobile payment options, but it is
important to remember that Apple doesn't need
to supersede them to succeed. Apple Pay helps
Apple tie people into its devices and services
ecosystem and ultimately to sell more Apple
Products. If the launch of Apple pay ensures
its customers continue to buy its products, Apple
will
have succeeded
mobile payment
systems such as Alibaba's Alipay, Tencent's Tenpay
and Wechat Payment. To try
to compete with
them, Apple pay has partnered with China Unionpay,
a bankcard association that
dominates the
country's credit and debit card processing market.
Apple Pay is also currently
supported by 19
different Chinese banks, which means the service
can work with around 80
percent of China's
credit and debit cards, thus making the
competition easier
vice president of Apple Pay
told Reuters.

Apple Pay?
