[简答题]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In 1857, when Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, became an apprentice river pilot, steam boating had been a part of the Mississippi scene for a quarter of a century. The steamboat dominated life along the old river. How well Sam knew the magic cry. S-t-e-a-m-boat are-coming, which woke his sleepy little hometown of Hannibal Missouri. Ten minutes before a steamboat touched the dock, the town would be dead, and ten minutes after the boat had departed, the familiar boatman’s sounding call “mark twain", meaning that the river depth measured two fathoms, or twelve feet of water, could still be heard.
Twain’s first experience as a cub pilot was aboard the steamer Paul Jones, out of New Orleans, and his instructor was the strict Horace Bixby.

[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
It was going to have roughly the effect of a neutron bomb attack on high streets and shop ping malls. The buildings would be left standing but the people would vanish. Such was the superior efficiency of selling things via the Internet that brick-and-mortar stores would be unable to compete on price, choice or even service. Book and music sellers had already been "Amazoned". Soon web-based "category-killers", in everything from toys to pet supplies, would overwhelm their physical-world competitors. Shoppers would never be more than a mouse-click from the best deals. Traditional retailers, terrified of cannibalizing (同类相食) sales and destroying the value of their expensive properties, were already too late to meet the challenge. "In some categories," said Mary Meeker, a seer (预言家) of the Internet at Morgan Stanley, "it’s already game over."
