ticket

a

3-month

train

pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I 36 all the

necessary stuff

—

37 the guidebook.

While the 38 of the Internet was definitely a 39 factor to my decision, this was not the

only reason I decided to fly 40 .

To be honest, I find the guidebook 41 a journey

—

like a bossy aunt who is always telling

you what to do, 42

she doesn’t always know

what’s best.

43 has taught me that there is a

clear 44 between a tourist and a traveler.

While waiting in a queue to see Michelangelo’s Statue of David in Florence, I met a man

who

showed

me

his

45

of

“Top

20

Things

to

do

in

Italy”

and

told

us

46

that

he

’

d

“seen”

everything Italy has to 47 in just four days.

The problem I had with this man’s way of

48 was that he was too focused on 49 the

boxes provided by his guidebook. He was 50 in the so-

called “must

-

sees” and blind to all

that was happening somewhere else.

So,

guidebook-less

as

we

were,

my

companion

and

I

traveled

to

Estonia.

Arriving

for

no

good reason, we had no option but to 51 some friendly faces for advice. We 52 ourselves

and asked them what was happening around town. When this resulted in an 53 to a beautiful

Estonian

home

river

where

we

enjoyed

a

110-degree

picked forest-mushrooms and the good 55 of our five new-found Estonian friends, we sure

were glad we had left our bossy aunt at home.

B

As

Apple’s

long

awaited

iPhone

X

hit

shelves

around

the

world,

Samsung’s

newest

ad

uses the opportunity to make a mockery of the last 10 years of iPhone products.

①

.

Samsung’s

latest

advertisement,

released

through

the

company’s

YouTube

channel,

highlights

how

apparently

late

to

the

game

Apple

has

been

with

each

version

of

the

iPhone

over the last decade as compared to other smartphones, from waterproofing to the headphone

jack.

②

The

video

follows

a

character

upgrading

his

Apple

iPhone

each

year,

and

each

year

continuing

to

miss

out

on

features

like

water-proofing,

the

headphone

jack

and

more,

as

he

compares to Samsung models that do have these features ahead of the iPhone.

Apple’s iPhone X notch

（

V

型切口）

has been widely criticized by tech experts, who have

called

the

design

“odd”

and

“ridiculous.”

The

reason

for

the

peculiar

design

is

to

accommodate a

front-facing

camera and facial-recognition

technology

in

a

device

that Apple

advertises as

“

all scree

n.”

③

In

2016,

the

South

Korean

firm

made

fun

of

its

rival’s

phones

as

it

launched

the

Galaxy

Note

7,

zeroing

in

on

the

lack

of

a

headphone

jack

（

which

many

Apple

customers

complained

about

）

.

To

go

back

even

further,

Samsung

released

videos

on

YouTube

in

2014

and in a 2013 Superbowl teaser also, mocking Apple smartphones and watches.

The new Galaxy Note 8 by Samsung launched well before the Apple iPhone X, and comes

with two rear cameras with two OIS, a much bigger 6.3-inch OLED full display with 18:9 aspect

ratio. It also has a much bigger battery than Apple’s iPhone X—although Samsung doesn’t

like to talk too much about batteries, given the fiasco with the Galaxy Note 7.

④

Apple

may

not

be

too

troubled

by

the

mockery

conveyed

by

the

Samsung’s

advertisement

：

the new iPhone is already sold out, and reports of strong demand around the

world have driven the company’s stock to new all

-time highs in recent days. And, as they say,

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

（恭维）：

a new trial has been ordered to determine

how much Samsung should pay Apple for copying the look of the iPhone.

There’s

another

irony

to

this

battle：

Samsung

has

a

vested

（既定的）

interest

in

the

iPho

ne X’s success, given that Samsung supplies the OLED display, NAND flash and the DRAM

chips in the iPhone.

58.

Where

should

the

sentence

“The

ad

is

not

Samsung’s

first

offence

against

Apple.”

be

placed in the passage

？

A. ①

D.

④

B.②

C.③

59. Th

e underlined word “fiasco” in paragraph 6 means

.

A. privilege

B. creativity

C. disaster

D. suspension

60. According to the passage, which of the following statements may the writer be in favor of

？

A. Samsung’s latest advertisement is nothin

g more than a made-up story.

B. Different versions of the iPhone have always taken the lead in waterproofing.

C. Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 8 copied the look of the Apple iPhone X.
