13．Earlier this year，the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations-including The New York Times，The Guardian，and the BBC-to place news stories directly into users'personal Facebook webpage．Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher，who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn-at least for now．The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations，and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing-and has been for a while．
When Google News began in 2002，many saw it as the death of the newspaper．It had no human editor．Instead Google used，and still uses，a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader's personal interests．More recently，Associated Press and Yahoo!have been publishing computer-written articles．Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports-areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data．
Should we be worried about such developments？I think we should．One concern is that facebook，Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline，a way of putting people in front of advertisements．It isn't their primary function-so if it stops making them lots of money，they're likely to stop doing it．
There's also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all，because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex．A well-written news story puts information in context，offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge．
Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article-at least for daily news-I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet．

32．What is the main purpose of the article？C
A．To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook．．
B．To advise readers against reading computer-written news．
C．To express concern about recent trends in online news．
D．To describe the process of online news reporting．
33．Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance becauseD．
A．these are the most popular topics for online readers
B．there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
C．information on these topics is more easily available
D．writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas
34．What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 3refer to？A
A．Journalism．
B．Advertising．
C．Facebook．
D．Business．
35．In Paragraph 4，which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article？C
A．The information presented is up-to-date．
B．The author's opinion is clear．
C．Different views on the topic are presented．
D．The language used is vivid．

10．Thecriteria （标准） are so strict that it is difficult to get new ideas accepted unless they are truly novel．

17．Computer power is moving into the"cloud"-networks of data centers 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 devices respectively，was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud．Disruptive （捣乱的） newcomers are blooming：if Amazon's cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company，it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined．
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 their e-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"is even worse．Cloud providers go to great lengths 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 adventure 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 inhibit （阻碍） 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 their own data centers．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 can make data 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 centers
D．Google enables users to provide services and move data

11．I love charity（慈善） shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street．The charity shop is a British institution，selling everything from clothes to electric goods，all at very good prices．You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore．The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies，and you are not damaging the planet，but finding a new home for unwanted goods．
The first charity shop was opened in 1947by Oxfam．The famous charity's appeal（呼吁） to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations（捐赠物）．They  decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal．Now there are over 7，000charity shops in the UK．My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop，where I always find children's books，all 10or 20pence each．
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers，although there is often a manager who gets paid．Over 90% ofthe goods in the charity shops are donated by the public．Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops，although they don't encourage this，rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open．
The shops have very low running costs：all profits go to charity work．Charity shops raise more than￡110million a year，funding（资助）medical research，overseas aid，supporting sick and poor children，homeless and disabled people，and much more．What better place to spend your money？You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense．You provide funds to a good cause and tread（踩，踏） lightly on the environment．

12．There's no electricity or water and even no textbooks （61）either!I'm still trying to adapt to these conditions．However，one thing is for sure，I've become more （62）imaginative （imagine） in my teaching．Science is my most （63）challenging （challenge） subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments．In fact，there is no equipment，and （64）if I need water I have to carry it from my house in （65）a bucket!The other day I was showing the boys the weekly chemistry experiment when，before I knew it，the（ 66 ）mixture （mix） was bubbling over everywhere!The boys （67）who had never come across anything like this before started jumping out of the windows．Sometimes I wonder （68）how relevant chemistry is to these students，most of whom will be going back to （69）their villages after Year 8anyway．To be honest，I doubt whether I'm making any difference （70）to these boys'lives at all．
