The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing — Amazon has just announced the
purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than
that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp
offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.
Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities,
but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages,
the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist,
what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are
currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the
records of which customers have purchased what.
Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one
thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been
addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is
a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to
consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are
not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook and Google, the two
virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.
The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants.
Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for
the data that our digital lives yield. Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids (蚜虫) feed; Gmail keeps
the spammers out of our inboxes. It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship, even if both sides benefit.
41. According to Paragraph1, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its________.
A. digital products B. user information
C. physical assets D. quality service42. Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may________.
A. worsen political disputes B. mess up customer records
C. pose a risk to Facebook users D. mislead the European commission
43. Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because________.
A. they are no defined as customers B. they are not financially reliable
C. these services are generally digital D. the services are paid for by advertisers
44. The ants analogy is used to illustrate_________.
A. a win-win business model between digital giants
B. a typical competition pattern among digital giants
C. the benefits provided for digital giants' customers
D. the relationship between digital giants and their users

Shelly hugged her husband."Be careful, Billy."
"Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a
three — day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '
"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter."
"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at
the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."
They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach,
"Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and
you know it.”
Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."
Their laughter broke the tension. "I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned
back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"
Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "Thanks，Billy.” It had been their
custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the
next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly - both made her smile. She wrote a reply and left it
on the kitchen table for him. Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.
She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty-five foot “Shelly Girl” and his crew
waited. He gave a final wave and climbed aboard.
Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view. "I love you, Billy.” she whispered. "Be safe." ①
That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of
the USA. Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a
raging winter storm. ②
Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table. The
phone rang."Hello."
“Shelly?"
"Hi Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew. “Have you heard the
weather?"
"Hang on a second. I just turned the radio on." Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major
winter depression had moved into the area. "Oh crap!"
"That's what [ said too.”
"They'll be OK, Gail. They're experienced fishermen." Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself
that her man would be safe. ③
Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and
water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a
challenge for the young captain.
The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy
Atlantic.
The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live. “Shelly!
He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface. ④
The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read. "Shelly, you are my life,, my love
and soon-to-be mother of our son 一 girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home."
Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket. Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on,
“________."
Her note sits on their kitchen table still — never read.
45. Why was Shelly worried too much when Billy go to sea this time?
A. Because she and their baby Billy Jean needed Billy's protection and care.
B. Because she knew from the radio that a major winter depression would come.
C. Because she had a feeling that Billy would never return home.
,D. Because she cared about Billy's safety in the sea, especially in winter.
46. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Billy could read Shelly's reply letter only when he returned home from the sea.
B Billy and Shelly wrote letters to each other since they got married.
C. Shelly read Billy's letter eagerly each time she got his letter.
D. They exchanged their letters with each other every time Billy went out.
47. Which word can be filled in the blank in the passage?
A. weak B. strong C. hard D. desperate
48. Where can the sentences "Shell sat in her favorite spot on the porch of their weathered beach house, the salty air
sticking to her heavy winter clothes. The oncoming storm blew sand across her winter boots.," be put in?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
49. Which of the following may be Shelly's reply to Billy's letter?
A. Billy, you were so brave, I always knew.
B. Billy, I always knew the ocean was your home.
C. Billy, I always knew, you would come back.
D. Billy, I love you, I would always wait for you.
50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

The GREATEST Journey
I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she
would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional
climb:
Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you
hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new
and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many
entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.
.Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the
case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you’ll
probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice
you’ve ever made.
If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with
your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that
organization your all.
Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at
least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of
the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.
In short, you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts. If not, you may find
that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before
they ever buy the product you’re selling.
Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same
organization.
Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to
have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.
Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to
which journey will be greatest for you.

第五部分 书面表达满分（25 分)
61.请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
Reading a paper book may be a forgotten luxury (奢侈) for many people thanks to today’s busy
lifestyles, but listening to a book, while shopping or jogging is a growing trend. Now, audio books can be easily
downloaded from the Internet at the same, if not lower, prices as the print editions.
Mary Beth Roche, publisher of Macmillan Audio, says many of their readers use audio books as a
“multitasking tool”, a way to consume books when their eyes are busy. For others, whose work may involve spending lots of time looking at the screen, audio books are a way to relax. “It’s sort of nice to
sit back and have a story told to you,” said Roche.
In the United States, audio books have long been a serious business, simply because Americans on average
spend so much time in their cars. “It is a good way for consumers to make the time in traffic quality time,” said Roche.
“Even way back when it was the cassette and then the CD, the number one place where people listened was in car.
When audio books became available in the digital format, people started using them during other activities—when
they are shopping, jogging, performing household tasks and so on.
