However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8,Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed-- this is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords-- instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your passwords. This is not only practical but also extremely cool! Windows 8 experience-- apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smartphones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8，besides using the keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.1.

Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate(迁徙）north. Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100，many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004，a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply, not enough data.1. What is the major function of Paragraph 1 ?A. To arouse the reader’s concern.B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.C. To summarize the whole passage.D. To state how climate changes.2. What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?A. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.C. To show the damage earthquakes caused.D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.3. Which of the following is NOT true of climate changes’ effects?A. Animal and plant species may not be able to adapt enough and could disappear.B. It could lead to the spread of diseases.C. Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.D. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.4. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.B. There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.III. 完形填空Ricardo Semler became boss of his father’s business Semco in Brazil at the age of 21.
