15.Did you know that,in 2016,over 18million people attended classical concerts in Germany?That's more people than those who went to main league football matches!Earlier this year,Germany continued its celebration of classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg.Germans are incredibly proud of it and it's the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit.

The main concert hall seats over 2000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world.Two smaller concert halls arc used for jazz,world and contemporary music.In addition,if you're unbelievably rich,you can buy one of the 45 luxurious apartments lying within the building.
Construction began in 2007 with a budget of?241 million and a two-year period.Fast forward ten years,the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!
I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg,but unfortunately I haven't yet been able to attend a concert.Everything is sold out for six months!For now,I'm content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive views over the clocks and see the innovative architecture up close.Hopefully one day soon,I'll be lucky enough to grab a last-minute concert ticket!

10.With modern technology,much written communication tends to focus on the keyboard,but handwriting is still a necessary and important skill. (36)FHere are some tips for you to improve your handwriting.
Examine Your Handwriting
(37)GLook through your writing to decide what makes it difficult to read or what makes it unattractive.Perhaps you write your letters too small.Check on spacing of letters and words,and proper formation of letters.If your letters are small,put more effort into writing larger letters.If certain letters trip you up,practice those letters separately and within words.
Write Correctly
Positioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks.Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers.Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers.Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. (38)D
(39)ALetters are formed from several basic strokes(筆劃).Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them.Strokes found in letters include vertical lines,horizontal lines,and circles.Build on those to practice specific letters.
Write for a Purpose
Teach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts.Use that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing.Keep a journal daily with slow,correct strokes. (40)EThese true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.

A.Build on Basics.
B.Practice makes perfect
C.Focus on improving your correctness instead of speed
D.Writing at a slower speed also helps you focus on letter formation
E.Put a handwritten letter in the mail to surprise a friend or a relative
F.Handwriting requires your brain,eyes and hands to work together to form letters.
G.Before you can improve your handwriting,you need to know where you're falling apart.

7.What is big data exactly?Good question.After all,we've always had large amounts of data.As Laurie Miles,head,of analytics for big data specialist SAS,says,"The term big data has been around for decades and we've been,doing analytics all the time.It's not big; it's just bigger."Most traditional data was structured,or neatly organized in databases.Then the world went digital and the Internet came along.Most of what we1 do could be translated into data capable of being recorded,stored,searched,and analyzed.There was also so-called unstructured data generated by all our digital interactions (互動),from emails to online'shopping,text messages to tweets,and Facebook updates to YouTube video's.
Some say that about 90% of all the data in the world today has been created in the past few years."About 75% of data is unstructured,coming from sources such as text voice and video,"says Mr Miles.
"Big data is not just historic business intelligence,''says Mr,Miles."It's the addition of real-time data and the ability to combine together several data sets that makes it so valuable."Practically,anyone who makes,grows and sells anything Can use big data analytics to make their manufacturing and production processes more efficient arid their marketing more targeted and cost-effective.
And many businesses are only just beginning to realize that data is something that they need to protect and use."Banks only use a third of their available data because it often sits in databases that are hard to access,"says Mr Miles,"We need to find ways to make this data more easily accessible."
Who owns it all?Social media platforms will often,say that their users own their own content,but then lay claim to how that content is used,reserving the right to share it with third parties!So when you tweet you effectively give up any control over how that tweet is used in future,even though Twitter terms and conditions say,"What's yours is yours."Privacy (隱私) and intellectual property1 laws have not kept up with the pace of technological change.

32.According to the first paragraph,big dataD.
A.is also called modern data                         
B.means we don't have enough data
C.gets its name from a research institute        
D.has been researched for many years
33.What contributes greatly to the development of unstructured data?B
A.The increasing number of databases.
B.Our increasing exposure to digital activities.
C.A great decrease in structured data.
D.The lack of people who can translate data.
34.What is the third paragraph mainly about?B
A.The future of big data.
B.The value of big data.
C.The protection of big data.
D.The problems of big data.
35.Why do banks only use a small part of their data?D
A.Because it has different resources.
B.Because the speed is too slow.
C.Because the cost is very high.
D.Because it is difficult to obtain.
