Sir Ernest wa
20、s chairman of Racal Electronics, the owner of Vodafone, and his son was making the first-ever mobile phone call in the UKLater that morning, comedian Ernie Wise made a very public mobile phone call from St Katherines Dock, in East London, to announce that Vodafone was now open for business. A few da
21、ys later, its only rival, Cell-net, a joint venture between BT and Securicor, was also in business.At the time, mobile phones weighed almost a kilogram, cost several thousand pounds and, in some cases, provided only 20 minutes of “talk time“. The networks themselves were small; Vodafone had just a d
22、ozen masts covering London and the area west of London, while Cell-net started with a single mast, stuck on the BT Tower. Neither company had any idea of the huge potential of wireless communication and the dramatic impact that mobile phones would have over the next quarter century.“We projected the
23、re would only be about a million ever sold, and that we would get about, 35% of the market. BT projected there would be about half a million mobile phones sold and that they would get about 80% of the market,“ remembers Sir Christopher Gent, former Vodafone chief executive who was at St Katherines D
24、ock a quarter of a century ago. “In the first year, we sold about 15,000 to 20,000 phones. The portable Motorola was about 3,000 but most of the phones we sold were car phones from companies such as Panasonic and Nokia. “Hardly anyone believed there would come a day when mobile phones were so popula
25、r that there would be more phones in the UK than there are people. But in 1999 one mobile phone was sold in the UK every four seconds, and by 2004 there were more mobile phones in the UK than people.The boom was a result of increased competitionwhich pushed prices lower and created innovations in th

28、0)Alices Adventures in Wonderland (often shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is generally thought of as one of the greatest books for children in the history of English literature, and has also been enjoyed by many older readers. It was written by the English writer Lewis Carroll (a pseudonym: his rea
29、l name was Charles Dodgson) in 1865, but still seems original today and was recently made into a successful film by the American director Tim Burton.The story of Alice in Wonderland takes place in a strange fantasy world that is sometimes amusing and sometimes a bit frightening. It contains all sort
30、s of strange characters, including many talking animals. Few events seem to follow any logic, many characters talk in an odd way or ask questions that are impossible to answer, and nothing appears real.The main character is Alice, a seven-year-old girl. One summer day she is sitting by a river with
31、her sister when she sees something very strange: a white rabbit wearing a coat and a watch. Curious, she runs after the rabbit and arrives at a large rabbit hole in the ground, which she decides to enter. She starts falling down the hole, and when she gets to the bottom she finds herself in a differ
32、ent world.Among the many bizarre things Alice finds in this different world are a liquid that makes her very small when she drinks it; a talking caterpillar sitting on a mushroom; a smiling cat that disappears but leaves its smile behind ; a tea party that never ends ; a game of croquet where the ma
33、llets are flamingoes and the balls are hedgehogs ; and a playing card, the Queen of Hearts, that has come to life and has a very bad temper.At the end of the story Alice is suddenly back by the river again, with her sister telling her she has been asleep. We then understand that her strange journey
34、was a dream.One big difference between the book and Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland is that in the film Alice is nineteen, not seven. The film also has some characters and events that are not from Alices Adventures in Wonderland but instead from the sequel that Lewis Carroll wrote in 1871 : Through
35、the Looking-Glass.（分数：10.00）_十一、Section C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Tens of millions of television viewers around the world have become familiar with the musical talent show The X Factor, which originated in Britain in 2004 and has since become an international franchise. In some countries the name is differen
36、tfor example, Factor X in Spain and XSeer A1 Najah in Arabic-speaking countriesbut the format is usually the same: aspiring pop singers or groups compete in front of a small group of judges, and a large studio audience, for the prize of a lucrative recording contract.The British version of the show
37、has been enormously successful. Broadcast on Saturday evenings between August and December, it is watched by an average of around 13 million people more than a fifth of the population. The studio audience is extremely enthusiastic ( at times almost hysterical) and the four judges, who give their opi
38、nions immediately after each performance, are usually jeered if they make negative comments. The TV audience votes by telephone for their favourite singer, and on Sunday evening the results are announced in a follow-up show. The two singers who receive the fewest votes from the public normally have
39、to perform again in the follow-up show, and then their fate is in the hands of the judges. The competitor the judges think has sung better stays in the competition, but the loser is eliminated.As the competition progresses, the performers are in the public eye far longer than two evenings a week. Th
40、eir talents (or lack thereof) , personalities and off-stage behaviour are also discussed endlessly by gossip magazines and tabloids, their faces frequently appearing on the front pages. Feelings run so high that campaigns for or against certain contestants are launched on social networking sites.In
41、Britain, winning The X Factor guarantees that a singer or group will be able to make a lot of money from their music, at least in the short term. In most years, for example, a debut single by the winner, released in December, has reached the top of the singles charts by Christmas.Some people, howeve
42、r, think the programme has too much influence on the music-buying public, which is why in 2009 there was a successful campaign to encourage people to buy an alternative single and thereby ensure the song by The X Factor winner wouldnt be number one at Christmas. The campaign is being repeated this y
43、ear. In another kind of protest against the 2010 competition, a lot of people tried to undermine it by voting every week for the contestant with by far the worst singing voicehe was finally eliminated only in late November.（分数：10.00）(1).The winners of the The X Factor competition will receive_.（分数：2

Wh

Without that, you will be occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can drop out of grade school and still be successful.Get a college degree, if possible, because with a BA, you are on
