閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。

Over the past few years，software makers and independent developers have begun to offer a wide variety of business applications for free，but there is also software that is worth paying for．

Here are a few things to consider when deciding whether you go free or pay the fee．

Is the Software Mission Critical（關(guān)鍵的）?

If an application is critical to the day-to-day running of your business，it may be best to spring for the cost of licensing the software．Take Photoshop，for instance．If yon run a small design firm where you are working with the program every day to fill client orders ,it's probably worth paying for the desktop version with full functionality and support services．Photoshop Express may be great for occasional users and students but may not be the best option for heavy users．

Is the Software Client-Facing?

It might be a good idea to cut costs on an application such as PDF creation software，and there are a lot of free online tools that allow you to save files in the PDF format．However,many of these services place advertising within the PDF file．Sending documents to clients with ads from another company may not leave the best impression．

How much Support Do You Need?

Free desktop and server software sounds like a great idea；just think of all the money you’ll save．However, if you are tech savvy（通曉科技的），you may run into a few problems getting the freeware set up on your machine．When considering free software you should also keep in mind what kind of support you think yon will need．Paying for software with free support may be cheaper in the long run than getting free software and then paying someone to help yon use it．

Are There Limits to How You Can Use It?

Finally, free software is often a stripped-down（精簡(jiǎn)的）version of licensed software．It’s important to look closely at the capabilities of the free options to see whether

Consider how often yon will use the application and what kind of functionality you need before going with a free option．Yon may get lucky and find everything you need in a free application, but you may also find that when it comes to software. The best things aren’t free．

76．What is the main idea of the passage? （Please answer within 20 words．）

 

77．Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?

Perhaps users would not like to receive files including information to help sell products made by other firms．

 

78．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper phrase or a sentence to complete the sentence．（Please answer within 10 words．）

 

79．Do you think the free software is always good? Give your reasons．（Please answer within 30 words．）

 

80．Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese

 

76 Whether we should go free or pay the fee depends on whether the software fits our needs

／Making decisions on using a software for free or not.

／Paying or not for the software depends on how it fits our needs-

77．Sending documents to clients with ads from another company may not leave the best  impression．

78 they fit（meet／satisfy）your needs/you really need them／they are useful to you

79．NO．It might has its disadvantages，like limited permission of using its technique，being forced　to use its ads，additional supported needed，etc．／Because you may find that when it comes to software，the best things aren’t free．

80．如果你經(jīng)營(yíng)一個(gè)小設(shè)計(jì)公司，每天要運(yùn)用該程序來(lái)完成客戶的訂單，那就值得你花錢買下功能齊全且服務(wù)支持完善的桌面版本。

請(qǐng)閱讀下面某高三學(xué)生寫給編輯的一封短信，然后根據(jù)要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Dear editor．

　　I used to imagine the beautiful school life without any pressure, in the beautiful camps like heaven; we experienced lots of new things and enjoyed our youth．At that time I was really happy, even though what we did every day was just sinking ourselves in the boring books．

　　But, I knew I was totally wrong after I came to senior three．We were overloaded with various assignments; we had to memorize a lot of difficult English words so as to achieve higher scores on the exams．In addition, for the sake of our future, we had to take the coursed not only in our own major but also in some related fields．We felt that once we slowed down, we might fall into a low position in class．Too much pressure has injured our mental and physical health as we suffer from nervousness, tiredness, sleeplessness and depression．Many of us have tried very hard at school but they failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents．Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they have finished their study．I am just very upset with the present situation and I don’t know what I should do．

Yours sincerely
