19、ears ago I met an advertising executive in New York who explained the difficulty of advertising a new brand of deodorant(除臭剂)to consumers. “Most people never change their deodorant, “I remember him saying. “They pick one brand when they are young, and stick with it for a long, long time. If it works

20、, why switch?“ 1 Once they have picked a type of phone, whether it s Apple iOS, Google Android or something else, its difficult, and often expensive, to switch. Consumers become comfortable with the interface and design of the phone and the apps they have purchased on that platform. 2 That is why th

21、e race to pull in smartphone buyers is going to be especially severe over the next 18 to 24 months. 3 there are still hundreds of millions of mobile phone owners around the world who have yet to move from a standard mobile or feature phone to its smarter, more intelligent big brother; the smart phon

22、e. Yet the change is happening at a much quicker pace than technology analysts and companies originally theorized.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1._An embarrassing experience It was the small hours of the morning when we

33、 reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state

34、 that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?“ I replied with extreme foolishness,“

35、Yes, hundreds of times. “ “And you have nothing to declare?“ “Nothing.“ “How long have you been out of this country?“ “About three months.“ “And during that time you have acquired nothing?“ “Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.“ He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The

36、 attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected. “Where did you get that watch?“ I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for t

37、welve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey. I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement. “It

38、is not a question of confiscation,“ he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?“ It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.（分数：10.00）(1).When did the writer ar

39、rive at London airport?（分数：2.00）A.In the early morning.B.Late at night.C.At noon.D.Late in the morning.(2).What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?（分数：2.00）A.He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.B.He must have noticed the writers ugly w

40、atch.C.He wanted to embarrass the writer.D.He must have noticed the writers tiredness.(3).What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?（分数：2.00）A.He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.B.He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.C.He didnt like the watch at all.D.

41、He was indifferent to the watch.(4).What must have happened to the writer in the end?（分数：2.00）A.He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.B.He must have been given a fine as a punishment.C.His Rolex must have been confiscated.D.His cheap watch mus

42、t have been confiscated.(5).What do you think is the tone of the story?（分数：2.00）A.Humorous.B.Sarcastic.C.Solemn.D.Matter-of-fact.You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you“ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesnt love you ba

43、ck? Or if they do say it but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play i

44、t cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,“ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.“ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, th

45、e rot will set in. “That feeling of Ive always loved you more may be sub verted (颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). “ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is o

46、ften the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,“ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the o

47、ne who says Im bored with you first. “ Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you“ is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when theyre drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ? By saying I love you, they reall
