Addiction(沉溺) to computer games has been on the increase with its rise in popularity. It is not a physical disease or mental illness. A person with this type of addiction sets aside all other activities in favor of playing computer games almost 31 . Computer games addicts tend to isolate themselves from normal, face-to-face human 32 . They spend hours playing the online games, without much for those around them. They also do not 33 to fulfill the responsibilities awaiting them and they are more likely to feel depressed. The fact that computer games reduce time available for family and friends may 34 for the drop in well-being. Faceless, bodiless "virtual" communication may be less 35 satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. In addition, exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less 36 with their lives.
Many addicts spend as long as 100 hours a week playing computer games. Such a lifestyle will result in decreased job or 37 performance. Late nights and days spent playing the games make the addict unable to perform as well as he would have. Some gamers even spend real money on virtual products to make their characters 38 from others.
Computer games addicts have unwittingly(不知不觉地) developed a set of habits. These habits have become part of their lives and if not dealt with, their jobs, relationships and careers may collapse. However, 39 these habits is easier said than done. Sometimes these habits could lead to depression, stress and other emotional problems. Therapy, counseling programs can be helpful to them. The earlier treatment is sought, the greater the 40 it will be successful.
III. Reading comprehension (45分)
Section A
Directions: Read the following passage. The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
The sights, sounds, and smells of the modern marketplace are rarely accidental. More likely they are tools of an evolving strategy of psychological marketing called “sensory marketing” to create an emotional association to a(n) ____41____ product or band.
By relating to people in a far more ___42___ way through everyone’s own senses, sensory marketing is able to affect people in a way that traditional mass marketing cannot.
Traditional marketing believes that consumers will systematically consider ___43___ product factors like price, features, and utility. Sensory marketing, by contrast, seeks to resort to the consumer’s life experiences and feelings. Sensory marketing believes that people, the consumers, will act according to their emotional urge more than to their ____44____ reasoning. By this way, an effective sensory marketing effort can result in consumers choosing to buy a lovely but expensive product, rather than a plain but cheap ____45____.
In the past, communications with customers were mainly monologues --- companies just “talked at” consumers. Then they evolved into dialogues, with customers providing___46____. Now they’re coming multidimensional conversations, with products finding their own voices and consumers responding ___47___ to them.
Based on the implied messages received through five sense, consumers, without noticing the trend to apply human-like personalities to brands, leading to intimate relationship and, hopeful for the brands, persistent ___48___. And that’s the very thing brands are dying to foster customers rather than instant trend or profits. Most brands are considered to have either “sincere” or “exciting” personalities.
“Sincere” brands like IBM and Boeing tend to be regarded as conservative and relative while “exciting” brands like Apple, and Ferrari are imaginative and ___49___. In general, the consumers tend to form ___50___ relationship with sincere brands than with exciting ones, this explains the relatively enduring history of the “Sincere Brands”.
Certainly, with the eyes containing two-thirds of all the ___51___ cells in person’s body, sight is considered the most important of all human senses. Sensory marketing uses sight to create a memorable “sight experience” of the product for consumers which extends to packaging, store interiors, and printed advertising to form a(n) ___52___ image for the brand.
In other words, no aspects of a product design is left to ___53___ anymore, especially color. Brand acceptance is lined closely with the appropriateness of the colors on the brand --- does the color ___54___ the product at all? If not, customers, though not realizing it themselves, will ____55___ the brands in all possible ways-sales, reputations, etc. Therefore, brands, isn’t it time now to study the new field of marketing?

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Dear Alcohol,
You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely,
Me

The Internet of Thing (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerator, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow then to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet - connected devices and objects will be sending over date by 2020.
Specific Benefits
The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.
Some Fears
Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smart-phone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet - connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that’s outdated.
A Positive Example
Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug, needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!
Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.
60. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking?
A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.
B. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.
C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.
D. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.
61. What else do critics worry about the IoT besides its probably ending up being a fashion?
A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smart-phone.
B. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.
C. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.
D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.
62. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric received a recall notice, they _______.
A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update
B. were required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairs.
C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed
D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company
(C)
For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to appreciate music or recognize musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two-songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their ability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complicated, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t sec certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks. I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

63. Which of the following is true of amusics?
A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.
B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.
C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.
D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.
64. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _____.
A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything non-musical
C. has a hearing problem D. lacks a complicated hearing system
65. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that _____.
A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
C. her problem could be easily explained
D. she were able to meet other amusics
66. What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A. Amusics’ strange behaviors. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics.
Section C
Directions:?Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.?Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
B. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.
C. In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.
D. Professional boxers are much more at risk than their amateur counterparts.
E. Furthermore, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing.
F. It is likely to threaten personal safety of people.
Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programs on TV frequently cover boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. ___67___
However, there is a negative side to boxing. ____68____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. ___69____ Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it.
___70___ I think it would be better if less time were given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
