Its elegant products and smart operating system, and its struggles against IBM and Microsoft in the 1980s, are especially appealing in a country that prides itself on being fashionable, clever and revolutionary. Apple’s two stores in central Paris lie in locations that are dear to French hearts—under the Louvre and directly opposite the Opera.But the love affair is fading—in official circles at any rate—as concerns grow that the technology giant’s market control does harm to a business in which French companies have been successful: designing app lications for mobile devices. The government has complained Apple’s eviction (逐出) from its application store of a popular product developed by a French start-upfirm—AppGratis. AppGratisofferes its users one free application a day, charging developers for making products known to a wider audience.Simon Dawlat, the boss of AppGratis, thinks the application performs a valuable service in providing “a continuous stream of editorial picks” of the highest quality from the complex world of applications. Around 12 million people have downloaded AppGratis, he says, and perhaps a quarter of them at least consider the chosen application each day. First marketed outside France in 2012, AppGratis has at times been the most popular free entertainment download for devices running Apple’s iOS operating system in 78 countries including the United St ates, according to App Annie, a market-research firm. In early 2013 AppGratis had raised more than $13 million for an expansion that has now been put on hold.Apple says AppGratis disobeyed its bans on promoting other publishers’ products and on using “push” notifications (通知) for paid marketing. Apple dislikes apps that serve as shopfronts for other ones. It worries that “app-discovery” products can help developers with deep pockets move their applications up the league tables and disturb the market. So it is rather puzzling that a version of AppGratis for iPads was approved less than a week before the mobile-phone version was evicted from the app store, and that other app-discovery applications are still available there. Perhaps AppGratis was growing too popular too quickly and that was its real fault.Fleur Pellerin, France’s digital-economy minister, blamed Apple on April 11th for its cruel treatment of AppGratis and spoke of tightening the regulation of giant Internet firms, in France and at European Union level. The country’s competition authority is looking into the relationship between app stores—Google’s no less than Apple’s—and developers. The French have a lengthening list of grievances (抱怨) against the Internet giants, including their failure to pay serious taxes, the refusal of Microsoft’s Skype to register as a telecoms operator and Twitter’s refusing to name those behind an outburst of racists. MsPellerin may not manage to cut them down to size; others have tried and failed. But for Apple and France, at least, it is looking increasingly like the end of the affair.59. Paragraph 2 mainly illustrates ____.A. Apple’s products have a significant place in French electronic marketB. the fierce competition between Apple and AppGratisC. AppGratis’s future development problemsD. France and Apple has had conflict60. What can been inferred from Paragraph 3?A. AppGratis is a branch company of Apple.B. AppGratis develops very well in France.C. AppGratis’ new application is considered a threat to Apple.D. The products of AppGratis are considered of low quality by Apple.61. In the last paragraph, many big Internet companies are mentioned to show that _____.A. French government is starting a new supervision policy toward these companiesB. these companies must cooperate with French companies to seek developmentC. the development of these companies prevents that of French domestic companiesD. big digital companies are facing a brighter future in France四、任务型阅读Do we need an “Ivy League”?China may soon have its own “Ivy League”, with a union of top universities.The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US. The Chinese version, which was officially started in mid-October, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs. The news of this Chinese “Ivy League” has received mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying ofi nternational practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the “Ivy League” is not necessary but that the union is a good idea, one that could promote academic development.So what’s your opinion on a Chinese “Ivy League”? Do we need one?Yes. Ivy League or not, nine of China’s best universities cooperating is a good thing.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research. It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons, improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.The term “Ivy League” carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage students’ and professors’ mental state and improve Chinese higher education, then there’s no reason not to do it.No. Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an “Ivy League” model.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were associated with the “Ivy League”, it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government. They’re quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn’t bring about as much potential ability as between, say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities. China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices. We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don’t apply well答案二1—5 CABCC 6—10 AACDA 11—15 BACCB 16—20 ADADC21-25 DABCA 26-30 BACDC 31-35 ACBDB P3 DBA51. northeast 52. recognize 53.
