A Special Day: Microsoft’s 40th Anniversary
Early on, Paul Allen and I set the goal of a computer on every desk and in every home. It was a brave idea and a lot of people thought we were out of our minds to __41__ it was possible. It is amazing to think about how far computing has come since then, and we can all be proud of the __42__ role Microsoft played in that revolution.
Today I am thinking much more about Microsoft’s future than its past, though. I believe computing will __43__ faster in the next 10 years than it ever has before. We already live in a multi-platform world, and computing will become even more spreading. We are nearing the point where computers and robots will be able to see, move, and interact naturally, unlocking many new __44__ and enabling people to do even more.
Under Satya’s leadership, Microsoft is better positioned than ever to lead these advances. We have the resources to drive and solve tough problems. We are __45__ in every aspect of modern computing and have the deepest commitment to research in the industry. In my role as technical advisor to Satya, I get to join product reviews and am __46__ by the vision and talent I see. The result is evident in products like Cortana, Skype Translator, and Holo Lens -- and those are just a few of the __47__ that are on the way.
In the coming years, Microsoft has the opportunity to reach even more people and organizations around the world. Technology is still out of reach for many people, because it is
complex or expensive, or they __48__ do not have access. So I hope you will think about what you can do to make the power of technology accessible to everyone, to connect people to each other, and make personal computing __49__ everywhere even as the very intention of what a PC delivers makes its way into all devices.
We have accomplished a lot together during our first 40 years and enable countless businesses and people to realize their full __50__. But what matters most now is what we do next. Thank you for helping make Microsoft a fantastic company now and for decades to come.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More Light
Solar photovoltaic thermal energy systems (太阳能光伏热能系统), or PVTs, produce both heat and electricity, but until now they haven’t been very good at the heat-producing part __51__ a stand-alone (单机的) solar thermal collector. That’s because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells (晶体硅太阳能电池), which lets the silicon produce more electricity but isn’t a very __52__ way to gather heat.
That’s a problem of economics. A solar-electric system is run at a comparatively lower __53__, while good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy. And it’s also a space problem: photovoltaic (光伏的) cells can __54__ all the space on the roof, leaving little room for thermal applications.
In a pair of studies, Joshua Pearce, an associate professor of materials science and engineering, has designed a __55__ in the form of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon. His research partners are Kunal Girotra from Thin Silicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queen’s University, Canada.
Most solar panels (电池板) are made with crystalline silicon, but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon (非晶体硅), __56__ known as thin-film silicon. They don’t create as much electricity, but they are lighter, flexible, and cheaper. Because they __57__ much less silicon, they are more environmental friendly and have a greener footprint. __58__, thin-film silicon solar cells can be easily damaged and are breakable.
“That means that, when you expose them to light, their efficiency __59__ ---- pretty much the worst possible effect for a solar cell,” Pearce explains, which is one of the reasons thin-film solar panels make up only a small __60__ of the market.
However, Pearce and his team eventually found a way to improve the __61__ of solar panels by uniting thin-film silicon into a whole in a new type of PVT after many experiments. You don’t have to cool down thin-film silicon to make it work and improve its working efficiency. __62__, Pearce’s group discovered that by heating it to solar-thermal operating __63__, near the boiling point of water, they could make thicker cells that largely overcame the __64__ effect. When they applied the thin-film silicon directly to a solar thermal energy collector, they also found that by baking the solar cell once a day, they __65__ the solar cell’s electrical efficiency by over 10 percent.

(A)
Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British people drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
66. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. British people were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
B. It was not until the 17th century that British people had tea.
C. British people got expensive tea from India.
D. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
67. What does this passage most probably talk about?
A. It talks about how British people got the habit of drinking tea
B. It talks about how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C. It talks about the history of tea drinking in Britain
D. It talks about how tea-time was born
68. People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because ______.
A. tea with milk stopped people getting a sinking feeling
B. people followed the way a French lady drank tea
C. tea with milk was then a fashionable curiosity
D. tea with milk tasted much more pleasant
69. We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of ______.
A. the upper social class B. the ancient Chinese
C. a famous French lady D. people in Holland

It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers — but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses (假设). It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized parts and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the edge, which can drive the less-experienced or less-determined students away.
The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding camps has become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to adjust lessons to things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook.
Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn — how to think logically through a problem and organize the results — apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the only purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers — in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes — for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want — the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that — the better.
74. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to ______.
A. remodel the way of thinking B. perfect artwork production
C. formulate logical hypotheses D. complete future job training
75. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ______.
A. have to be upgraded when new technologies come
B. need improving when students look for jobs
C. help students learn other computer languages
D. enable students to make big quick money
76. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to ______.
A. stay longer in the information technology industry
B. become better prepared for the digitalized world
C. bring forth innovative computer technologies
D. compete with a future army of programmers
77. The word “coax” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. misguide B. challenge C. frighten D. persuade
I. Translation

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Here’s the news. A man will appear in the city court this morning charged with firing a gun. Near the center of the town last night, a team of armed police was called out at 8:30 p.m. after a motorcyclist reported a man had fired at him with a gun and the bullet glanced off his crash helmet while he was riding along Palm Street. An hour later a car driver was stopped by a man and asked for money on North Street. The robbery was unsuccessful and the driver escaped unhurt. After receiving further information around 10:30 p.m., the team of armed police surrounded a house on Main Street where a 30-year-old man was arrested. No one was injured in either of the incidents, nor during the arrest of this man.
(Now listen again.)
Questions:
11. What will the man be charged with?
12. Which of the following is true according to the news?
13. When was the man arrested?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Supermarkets are big stores that provide a wide choice of foods and other products. In the United States, traditional supermarkets are facing competition from even bigger stores. They are also facing competition from stores with more choices of fresh, natural foods.
Many supermarkets are chains, stores owned by one company. Price competition is fierce in the grocery industry. Most Americans still spend the most money at supermarkets. But traditional supermarkets have lost some of their business. Many people are changing where they buy groceries. They are also changing the kinds of groceries they want.
New competitors are winning business because they are even larger than supermarkets. And they have lower prices. Wal-Mart Supercenters sell groceries as well as clothes, tools, electronic equipment and everything else. Costco membership stores are also known for low prices. Discount stores like Wal-Mart and Costco buy their goods in huge amounts and sell at prices that supermarkets usually cannot equal.
Competition has also come from stores, like Whole Foods Market, that sell natural foods.
Yet supermarkets are changing too. Many have cut prices. And many are offering more fine foods and organic products which are free of added chemicals or drugs. Since two thousand, Americans have bought more organic food from supermarkets than from any other kind of store. Also, supermarkets are able to offer greater choices of similar products than might be found at their discount competitors.
(Now listen again.)
Questions:
14. Which of the following are the strongest competitors of supermarkets?
15. Which statement is not true according to the passage?
16. What does the passage mainly tell us?
