填空题(61) Apple's Ipad may be latest and greatest tech gadget, but oddly enough, it also represents a return to model that most tech companies long ago abandoned—vertical integration. Apple has designed its own processor, called A4, to power the Ipad. (62) That is a big deal so until now Apple has used chips made by others, like Intel and Samsung. (63) In addition the processor, Apple also makes its own operating-system software for the Ipad. (64) Moreover, the only way to get applications for an Ipad will be to buy it from Apple. The same goes for content. (65) To get movies, TV shows, books, music-or everything, really—you will not have to buy them from Apple's online store, and the Ipad itself will be sold only by Apple stores. (66) From top to bottom this is a closing device, completely controlled by Apple. Is that a good thing? (67) Vertical integration was the norm back in the 1970s with minicomputer manufacturers like Digital Equipment Corp, and Data General, and late on with workstation makers like Sun Microsystems. (68) But pretty much everyone decided long ago that vertical integration was a workable model. Why make your own processors and operating system when you can buy chips from Intel and Windows from Microsoft? (69) It was ironic which on the same day that Apple was announcing the Ipad, Sun was holding an event to announce the completion of its being taken over by Oracle—ironic because Sun's pricy vertical-integration model was a big reason for the company's decline. (70) Why is Apple defying the conventional wise and going vertical? For one thing, its CEO, Steve Jobs, is a control freak and hates relying on others. (71) Also, Jobs has been around long enough to know the advantages of a vertical integrated company. (72) If the A4 is as good a processor as people seem to think, Apple's Ipad will have a big performance advantage than all the other tablet computers that are about to hit the market. And what of Apple's risky bet on vertical integration? (73) Won't the highly cost of going it alone put Apple at a disadvantage compared to makers that buy chips and software from others? (74) Won't those other guys be able to charge more than Apple? The answer is, probably, yes. But again, most people, myself included, are happy to pay more for what Apple makes. (75) My take is that Apple's bet on vertical integration, that seems against the tide, is actually a stroke of genius. Part VI Writing Directions: Read the following paragraph and then write a response paper of about 250 to 300 English words. A lot of people today are animal rights advocates.

填空题Is Harvard worth it? Conventional wisdom says yes. But with the price of a degree from America's most famous university and other elite private colleges now surpassing $125,000, many families — and a number of economists — aren't so sure. Here's a look at the evidence. For American's high school, seniors, April is the cruelest month. That's when colleges flood the postal system with news of who has won a place in next fall's freshman class. For more than a few families, a difficult decision will follow: Is it worth paying some $125,000 to give their child an education at an elite best private college? Or would her future be just as bright if she went to less expensive school? 41. ______ Certainly many neurotic boomer parents — and their stressed-out resume-building teenagers — assume that it is always better to choose Harvard over Big State U. because of Harvard' s presumably superior educational environment, better alumni connections, and more lucrative (profitable) on-campus recruiting opportunities. 42. ______ It's also true that if you want a career in big leading firms in the US, a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage. Then again, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that an elite education is hardly necessary. The majority of top CEOs (chief executive officer) surveyed by FORTUNE in 1990 did not attend an elite college. 43. ______ The academic evidence is murky to start with the basics: College pays. On average, a person with an undergraduate degree now earns almost twice as much as someone with only a high school diploma, up from 1.5 times in 1975. The economic literature on the payoff of graduating from an elite college, however, as opposed to any college, is far less conclusive. Several studies during the past decade found a connection between higher future earnings and attendance at a college with high SAT scores. Most of the research concluded that for each 100-point increase in the average SAT score, a graduate could expect a 3% to 7% increased in lifetime's earnings. 44. ______ You would expect graduates of selective schools — which attract successful students — to have successful careers. (It would be stunning if they didn't.) What such studies do not measure is how an individual's earnings are affected by the choice of college. Researchers found that those who went to the more prestigious schools reported higher earnings. 45. ______ Admissions offices at elite schools include many other criteria in their decisions — grades, extracurricular activities, recommendations, essays, interviews. These factors may reveal abilities, like good communication skills, that are far more valuable in the workplace than a perfect 1600. Because economists have no data on these traits, they term them" unobserved." But they are hardly unimportant. Until recently, no one had tried to control for unobserved characteristics in measuring the effect of an elite education on earnings.[A] What is less clear to many parents and their college-bound youngsters is whether it makes economic sense to attend an elite school with a total four-year price tag big enough to buy a nice suburban house in many parts of the country.[B] So what kind of return is there likely to be on that $125,000 investment? And how does it compare with the return on a less expensive but also less prestigious education?[C] These questions have no easy answers. Of course, that's not the impression you get from the $500-million-a-year college-admissions industry, with its magazine rankings, test prep courses, and guidebooks.[D] But the studies compared schools, not people.[E] School selectivity, measured by the average SAT score of the students at a school, doesn't pay off in a higher income over time.[F] It's true that big law firms, major teaching hospitals, and investment banks — even the offices of FORTUNE — are stuffed with Ivy Leaguers.[G] But SAT scores are not everything.
