Google's New Music Service Google outstripped its arch-rival, Apple, with the launch of a subscription music streaming service on Wednesday while simultaneously mounting a threat to other providers such as Spotify. The service, labouring under the full name of Google Play Music All Access, was unveiled at Google I/O, the tech giant's annual developer conference in San Francisco. 【R1】 1 Revealing the music service, Chris Yerga, Google's engineering director, said users would be able to stream from a vast library on any device, using the Android operating system. "This is radio without rules. It's as 'leanback' as you want to, or as interactive as you want to," said Yerga. 【R2】 2A "listen now" feature will create a mix of favourite artists or genres based on previously listened-to songs. In the US, All Access will cost $9.99 a month after a 30-day free trial. Spotify Premium, a similar service, costs $9.99.【R3】 3There was no immediate announcement of pricing in other territories. Google has signed licensing deals with music companies including, Sony, Universal and Warner, and millions of songs will be available for the service, which will go live from Wednesday. 【R4】 4The tech giants have become increasingly interested in subscription services thanks to the popularity of Spotify, which has more than six million paying subscribers and more than 24 million active users in 28 countries. Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the UK-based BPI, which represents record labels, welcomed the announcement by Google. "【R5】 5There are more than a million paying subscribers and millions more enjoying free and ad-supported music." he said. The entry of a player with the reach of Google will persuade many more consumers to experience having millions of songs to play instantly on their phone, tablet or PC." Google's announcement was greeted with loud applause by developers in San Francisco.【R6】 6Larry Page, the Google CEO, who has been suffering from a vocal-cords defect, made an unexpectedly long appearance at the conference, where he bemoaned the "negativity" which he believes is holding back the technology industry. The company revealed that more than 900 million devices using Android had now been activated, up from 400 million a year ago.【R7】 7The 900m figure does not include tens of millions of smartphones in China which also use Android's basic software - called "Android Open Source Platform" - but do not connect to Google's services, and so cannot contact its "activation" servers. Google unveiled new tools for developers including the ability to track people's physical activity when they are carrying an Android device, a move that will usher in a new generation of fitness applications. Brian McClendon, Google's head of maps, said its mapping service had been rebuilt "from the ground up". Google Maps will pay greater attention to each individual's personal use of the maps, highlighting places they frequently visit and making suggestions for other venues. The maps will change as they are used. Clicking on a museum will highlight other museums in the area, and users' photos will also be displayed in the maps. 【R8】 8A Users who sign up by 30 June will get a reduced price of $7.99 per month.B The announcement comes as Apple considers its own music service.C And delegates also heard about significant updates to its mapping services.D They began lining up to attend the sold-out Google I/O at 5 a.m.E Users will be able to search for an artist and add tracks to their library.F The new functions will be rolled out in the coming months.G Hugo Barra, vice-president of Android product management, said 48 billion Android apps had now been installed worldwide.H Streaming is the fastest growing part of the ￡330m digital music sector in Britain. 【R1】

Read the following article and answer questions 9~18 on the next page. Happy 75th Birthday, Social Security1. On its 75th anniversary Social Security is once again under attack and so are its defenders. Those who would axe benefits are spreading myths designed to make you think there is a looming crisis. Well, it is just not true. The stark reality is that it will be several decades before the program encounters any financial problems. The program's trust fund will have a $4.3 trillion surplus by 2023, and can pay all its obligations for decades to come. And strengthening Social Security is easy — making the very rich pay their fair share by lifting the cap on contributions by the wealthy would allow the program to pay all its obligations indefinitely.2. Social Security was a centerpiece of FDR(Franklin Delano Roosevelt)'s New Deal reforms that helped this country recover from the Great Depression. These programs provided Americans a measure of dignity and hope and lasting security against the vicissitudes of the market and life. FDR therefore accomplished what the venerable New Deal historian David Kennedy says is the challenge now facing President Obama — a rescue from the current economic crisis which will also make us "more resilient to face those future crises that inevitably await us."3. This anniversary is also a reminder of how major social reforms in this country have come about — in fits and starts. As former Clinton adviser Paul Begala observed in a Washington Post op-ed, "No self-respecting liberal today would support Franklin Roosevelt's original Social Security Act... If that version of Social Security were introduced today, progressives like me would call it cramped, parsimonious, mean-spirited and even racist. Perhaps it was all those things. But it was also a start. And for 74 years we have built on that start."4. Indeed when Social Security was first passed it left out African Americans and migrant workers. It was an imperfect piece of legislation but one that progressives built on to create the program we know today — a program like Medicare — that people feel an emotional connection to and will fight to protect. A new campaign from MoveOn and Campaign for America's Future will tap into that energy, enlisting candidates to pledge their support to Social Security this election season — opposing any cuts in benefits, including raising the retirement age. And these candidates would be wise to pay attention: A just-released poll shows that 65% of voters reject raising the retirement age to 70. And a separate AARP(American Association of Retired Persons)poll shows the vast majority oppose cutting Social Security to reduce the deficit, and 50% of non-retired adults are willing to pay more now in payroll taxes to ensure Social Security will be there when they retire.5. Progressives can also mark this anniversary by not only rededicating themselves to defending Social Security, but also going on the offensive to expand and improve our social security system to provide economic security for everyone.Questions 9-13(10 marks) For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from the box below.

Read the following passages, eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A~H the one which fits each gap. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A~H)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. Today's career assumptions are you can get a lot of development, challenge and job satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role. A new malady is running rampantly in corporate America: management phobia. 【R1】 1 " I hated all the meetings," says a 10-year award-winning manager, "and I found the more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected." 【R2】 2 With technology changing in a wink, you can never slack off these days if you're on the technical side. 【R3】 3 In addition, the Dilbert factor is at work. With Scott Adams's popular cartoon character — as well as many television sitcoms — routinely portraying managers as morons or enemies, they just don't get much respect anymore. Supervising others was always a tough task, but in the past that stress was offset by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. 【R4】 4 But in today's global, more competitive arena, a manager sits on an insecure perch.【R5】 5There are far fewer rungs on the corporate ladder for managers to climb. In addition, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim, if any, financial paybacks and perks. Furthermore, managers now must supervise many people who are spread over different locations, even over different continents. 【R6】 6 In an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. 【R7】 7 Management layoffs have done much to erode interest in managerial jobs, of course. 【R8】 8A. Many people don't want to be a manager — and many people who are managers are, frankly, itching to jump off the management track — or have already.B. It's a rare person who can manage to keep up on the technical side and handle a management job, too.C. Restructuring have eliminated layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of competencies rather than hierarchies.D. They must manage across functions with, say, design, finance, marketing and technical people reporting to them.E. I was a counselor, motivator, financial adviser and psychologist.F. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things.G American Management Association surveys say three middle managers are laid off for every one being hired. H. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive perks: stock options, company cars, club memberships, plus the key to the executive washroom. 【R1】
