5．Why Doesn't Anybody Copy Apple？
Apple's products are the envy of the world．They have been amazingly successful and are widely imitated，if not copied．The minute Apple launches a product，everyone knows how to compete．This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable．When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry，it becomes obvious what needs to be built．But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple？
I can think of two reasons．Firstly，Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful； secondly，Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process．
There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption．The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price．Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past，and it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future．Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation？If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly，why should one bother？
When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful，the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical．The fabulous part of this assumption is the"chief-sorcerer"theory of success which places one magician，like Steve Jobs，in charge of casting all the right spells（符咒）．
What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick？Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration（一体）of hardware，software and services as unique Apple advantages．It's a better explanation．Integration is something that can take a long time，but it is possible with great effort．A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction，but efforts are half-hearted．There is no"move the Earth"feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung，Google or Microsoft．
My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out．However，as Tim points out，it's not a formula．It's complex，it's subtle，but it's not magic．It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage．

32．When a new product of Apple comes out，often itA．
A．starts a revolution of an industry
B．ruins an industry dramatically
C．puts itself in an unbeatable position
D．is soon overtaken by imitated products
33．According to the passage，other companies don't"copy being Apple"becauseD．
A．Apple is not a successful company
B．they have no access to relevant resources
C．it's hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs
D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts
34．We can infer from Para.5 thatC．
A．other companies are dedicated to integration
B．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages
C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry
D．other companies don't have an extraordinary team as Apple does
35．What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement？B
A．Doubtful
B．Acceptable．
C．Unbelievable
D．Disappointing．

4．There is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt．All high school graduates ought to go，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become"better"people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go．
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone．And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending，those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and more obvious．College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis； college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools．Others find no stimulation （激励） in their studies，and consequently have to drop out，which is often encouraged by college administrators．
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that's a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole，and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right．We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds．But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds，either．
Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school．We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down，it seems，and through the rosy（玫瑰般的） glow of our own remembered college experiences．Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things-maybe it is just the oth er way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy （异端邪说） to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better．But contrary evidence is beginning to come up．

28．According to the first paragraph，D．
A．people now no longer challenge college education．
B．people still have a low opinion of college education．
C．the author thinks youngsters should all go to college．
D．people have great expectations for college education．
29．More young people drop out of college becauseA．
A．they are no longer motivated in their studies．
B．they can start selling shoes and driving taxis．
C．they compete for admission to graduate schools．
D．college administrators encourage them to do so．
30．Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhappiness？D
A．young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much．
B．our society that can't offer enough jobs to college graduates．
C．our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates．
D．young people as well as our society are to blame for all this．
31．Which of the following sentences is TRUE about those surveys and statistics？C
A．They proved wrong as being contradictory to our college experiences．
B．They are so convincing that we think of our rosy college experiences．
C．They may have been misread because of our rosy college experiences．
D．They prove high school graduates are smarter than college gratuates．
32．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragragh 4？B
A．It is a different way
B．It is just the opposite．
C．It is the wrong way．
D．There's no other way．
33．What's the main purpose of this passage？C
A．To inform young people college education is no longer important now．
B．To prove college education doesn't make young people more intelligent．
C．To argue against the idea that college is the first choice for all youngsters．
D．To tell young people that there's something wrong with college education．

3．Let's face it．No one drinks diet sodas for the taste．People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it．Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect，according to a new study．
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas．"What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank，the more weight they were likely to gain，"said Sharon Fowler．
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large，ongoing research project，where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years．
While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations．
Nutrition expert，Melanie Rogers，who works with overweight patients in New York，has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas，they don't lose weight at all．"We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily，and that was confusing to us，"said Rogers．
So why would diet soda cause weight gain？No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas，and so over-compensate（弥补） for the missing calories．
A related study found some sweeteners （甜味剂） raised blood sugar levels in some mice．"Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky，"said Helen P．Hazuda，professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas．"They may be free of calories，but not of consequences．"

25．People drink diet sodas toC．
A．enjoy its taste
B．stay in fashion
C．achieve weight loss
D．gain more energy
26．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．regular sodas make people lose more weight
B．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C．diet sodas do help reduce calories
D．most blood diseases come from diet sodas
27．The underlined word"They"in the last paragraph probably refers to"B"．
A．sweeteners
B．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
C．sodas
D．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers．

2．Nowadays，parents are faced with more pressure while bringing up their kids，we want our children to reach their full academic potential．We read to them，encourage their special talents，and support them when they have problems．If they choose to participate in music or sports，we also help them reach their potential in those areas．These are all good goals．
    There is，however，an even more important goal．It is a goal more difficult than excellence in arithmetic or soccer or the violin．Parents are responsible for providing their children with a moral compass．They need to nurture and treasure goodness in their children．Every child has the capacity to become a good，decent human being．To fulfill this capacity，children need the guidance and support of parents and other adults．Raising good，moral children is the most important job we will have．
    What is a good，decent human being？While we may differ on some details，most would agree that respect for others，kindness and caring，honesty and honor，and a reverence （尊重）for life are key．Good，decent human beings are people with a firm sense of direction and purpose，a moral compass to guide their lives．Children need our help to develop these characteristics and values．
    However，goodness is not easy for an adult，and it is even more difficult for a child．They do not have the knowledge，experiences，or cognitive skills to understand the impact and consequences of their actions．
Reinforcement is sometimes an efficient approach to building positive behavior．The child behaves in a desired way and the parents provide reinforcement．The behavior then typically increases in frequency．This approach works for teaching"Please"and"Thank you"．The new behavior is maintained，because it helps the child get along in the world．
    Loving，everyday interactions are the beginning of raising moral children．The child falls and receives adult concern learns how to treat others kindly when they stumble（绊倒）．The child who makes a mistake and is encouraged to try again learns how to support others．When parents intercede （调解）graciously for their child，the child can see the basis for friendship．When we treat children with respect and care，we provide a positive model of how to behave．These early experiences establish patterns for their treatment of others．

32．What are adults supposed to do to make children become good，decent human beings？C
A．support their children when they have problems
B．encourage their children to be a man with high honesty
C．set a good example and give positive instructions to children
D．encourage their children to learn more knowledge about sports or music
33．Why is it difficult for a child to act with honor and kindness？B
A．Because it is difficult for adults to do so．
B．Because a child is not mature enough to do so．
C．Because a child does not understand the abstract concept of"goodness"．
D．Because a child does not have a model to follow．
34．Why does the author talk about leaching"Please"and"Thank you"in Paragraph 5？A
A．To demonstrate that reinforcement is an efficient approach to building positive behavior
B．To demonstrate that politeness is the nature of a moral compass．
C．To demonstrate that politeness helps the child gel along in the world．
D．To demonstrate that saying"Please"and"Thank you"is a good habit．
35．Which of the following can express the main idea of the last passage？D
A．Adults should treat children with love．
B．Adults should have more positive communication with children．
C．Adults should treat children with respect and care．
D．Adults should provide a positive model of how to behave for children．

1．Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men，in which he looked millions of years ahead．He told of different men and of strange civilizations，broken up by long"dark ages"in between．In his view，what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men．In 2000million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men．
    However，most of our ideas about the future are really short-sighted．Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years．But the next hundred？The next thousand？The next million？That's much more difficult．
    When men and women lived by hunting 50，000 years ago，how could they even begin to picture modern life？Yet to men of 50，000 years from now，we may see as primitive（原始的）in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us．Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels，or struggling with their ballalators through the tribe．These words，which I have just made up，have to stand for things and ideas that simply can't think of．
    So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future？Here are two reasons：First，unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole history，we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are．If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome，our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us．
    Second，by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future，we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves．For example，if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming，we can think of trying it now．So，set your imagination free when think about future．

28．A particular mention made of Stapledon's book in the opening paragraphC．
A．shows the popularity of the book
B．serves as a description of human history
C．serves as an introduction to the discussion
D．shows a disagreement of views
29．The text discusses men and women 50，000 years ago and 50，000 years from now in order to show thatD ．
A．human history is extremely long
B．it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
C．life has changed a great deal
D．it's difficult to tell what'll happen in the future
30．"Spundels"and"ballalators"are used in the text to refer toA．
A．unknown things in the future
B．ideas about modem life
C．tools used in farming
D．hunting skills in the Stone-Age
31．According to the writer of the text，imagining the future willC．
A．help us to improve farming
B．enable us to better understand human history
C．serve the interests of the present and future generations
D．make life worth living．
