14．Computer power is moving into the"cloud"-networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services，from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis．
The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry．The old guard is suffering：
this week's 67billion merger （合并） between Dell and EMC，makers of computers and storage device
s respectively （分别），was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud．
The gains for customers have been equally dramatic．Compared with older IT systems，cloud computing is often much cheaper．It adds tremendous flexibility：firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software．In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes．Their applications can be updated continually，rather than just every few months．Individual users can reach theire-mails，files and photos from any device．And cloud services also tend to be more secure，since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers．
But cloud computing makes one problem worse．In the old IT world，once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database，it was difficult and costly to switch to another．In the cloud this"lock-in"（锁定）is even worse．Cloud providers try their best to make it easy to upload data．They accumulate huge amounts of complex information，which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider．
Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services，software and devices，which is convenient but only for as long as you don't venture outside their universe．Being locked in to a provider is risky．Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices．If a cloud provider goes bust （崩溃），its customers may have trouble getting back their data．
These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation．Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them．That is too heavy-handed，because strict rules will prevent innovation in what is still a young industry．The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers'demands-just as in personal computers，where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems．
In the meantime，a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in．Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected．So are those that keep their most important information in theirown data centres．Consumers can take precautions，too．Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers （Google does well on this score）．Cloud computing promises its users many benefits，but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven．
50．The author takes"the merger between Dell and EMC"for example to showA．
A．the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers
B．the miserable sufferings of old computer companies
C．the rapid development of new computer companies
D．the interaction between old companies and newcomers
51．With wide applications of cloud computing customers canB．
A．pay less for the older IT systems
B．gain more computing capacity quickly
C．know better about defeating the hackers
D．install software within weeks
52．The problem of"lock-in"can be dangerous becauseC．
A．it should ensure data can easily be moved to another provider
B．it can create a network of services connected with devices
C．it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data
D．it will discourage an argument about stricter rules
53．It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs thatB．
A．the European politicians'advice is perfect
B．customers'demands play a role in setting standards
C．lock-in is caused by firms'storing information in their own centres
D．Google enables users to provide services and move data

4．Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants，nurses，sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．
Many of these wage-earners return in the end．In the meantime，they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines'case，over 10% of its GDP．Between January and November，the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting （劳务输出） countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import （输入） labour，as in Europe，falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．
On January 13^th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） signed an agreement to help migrant （流动的） workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005study showed that 8.4million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries，but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．
Of the ten ASEAN countries，the Philipines，Indonesia，Myanmar，Cambodia，Vietnam and Laos export labour，Singapore and Brunei import it，and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that，in the next ten years，the total labour force of the worker-exporting countries should grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control．
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers，and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore，just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates （犯罪率）．
32．It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines thatC．
A．the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B．labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D．the country both exports and imports labour force
33．The flow of labour is a growing problem becauseA．
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
34．For the labour-importing countries，the flow of labour may lead toD．
A．higher birth rates
B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows
D．stronger job competition
35．The writer of the text seems toB．
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem．

11．Money is the root of all evil （邪恶） and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying．Scientists at the University of California Berkeley，US，announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things，such as lie or cheat，than poorer people．The scientists did a series of eight experiments．They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences （PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》）．
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley．They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks．Nearly 45percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30percent of people driving more modest cars．
In another experiment，a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations．Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change．Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly．
According to the scientists，rich people often think money can get them out of trouble．This makes them less afraid to take risks．It also means they care less about other people's feelings．
Finally，it just makes them greedier．"Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more，and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest，"said Paul Piff，lead scientist of the study．
Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest．He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts （本能） and values in different ways．

12．By saying"money is the root of all evil"，the author wants toB．
A．link wealth with bad behavior
B．draw readers'attention to the research
C．show how the saying proves the findings
D．defend rich people who do immoral things
13．According to the scientists，which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral？A
A．They welcome risks．
B．They have more desires．
C．They believe money talks．
D．They become more selfish．
14．Why did the scientists do the experiments？A
A．To show how social status affects people's morality．
B．To show people's instincts and values in different ways．
C．To test whether the saying"money is the root of all evil"is true．
D．To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people．
15．What does the passage really want to show us？D
A．The poor are respectable．
B．Money is the root of all evil．
C．All rich people are untrustworthy．
D．The rich are more likely to act badly．

8．We won't take action we believe things are getting better．（　　）

9．When Breath Becomes Air gives an autobiography about Paul Kalanithi's experiences as a doctor and as a terminally ill patient．The book discusses Kalanithi's longtime fascination with questions of human biology，mortality （死亡率），and meaning．It then examines how these questions are heightened by the author's own confrontation （冲突） with lung cancer，sickness，and death．
Kalanithi's father was a doctor from New York City．The family moved to Kingman，Arizona，so that his father could pursue his medical career when Paul was young．His father worked long hours and was rarely home，which convinced young Paul that the last thing he wanted to do was to become a doctor himself．Paul's mother was concerned about the weak school system in Kingman，and so gave a long list of literary classics which she made Paul and his brothers read．As a result，Paul became fascinated by literature．He attended Stanford University，from which he graduated in 2000 with a B．A．and M．A．in English Literature and a B．A．in Human Biology．He earned an M．Phil in History Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge．In 2007，Paul graduated from the Yale School of Medicine with the highest honors．He returned to Stanford for residency training （住院医生实习） in Neurological Surgery．As he neared the end of his 7-year residency he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer．The hopes and dreams he and Lucy，his wife，have held to are dramatically changed．
When Breath Becomes Air gives an account of Kalanithi's transformation from an innocent medical student troubled by the question of"what，given that all organisms die，makes a virtuous and meaningful life"into a young neurosurgeon （神经外科医生） at Stanford，guiding patients toward a deeper understanding of death and illness，and finally into a patient and a new father to a baby girl，confronting his own mortality．What makes life worth living in the face of death？What do you do when the future，no longer a ladder toward your goals in life，flattens out into a continuous present？What does it mean to have a child，to care for a new life as another fades away？These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this deeply moving，delicately observed autobiography．
Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015，while working on this book，yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all．"I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality，in a sense，had changed nothing and everything，"he wrote．"Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head：‘I can't go on．I'll go on．'"When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable，life-confirming reflection on the challenge of facing mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient，from a gifted writer who became both．

13．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？D
A．What led to the diagnosis of Kalanithi's lung cancer．
B．Why Kalanithi changed his mind to become a doctor．
C．When Kalanithi decided to follow in his father's footsteps．
D．How Kalanithi developed his interest in English literature．
14．Which of the following words can be used to describe the book？B
A．Discouraging．B．Reflective．
C．Delightful．D．Controversial．
15．Kalanithi began to seek the meaning of lifeA．
