     BEIJING-Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  
network compatibility (兼容) for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics
giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.
     According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with
third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for
the company to begin official sales in China. The device, listed under model number "A1396", is
compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by
Apple's local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
       China Unicom declined  to comment.
       Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers
Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland. Still, consumers in China, which according to
research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world's largest PC market in the second quarter, have been
purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.
       Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said on Sept 6 that the company's first Hong Kong
store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city's central shopping and business district in the
International Finance Center's upscale (高檔的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot
along the city's waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter,
which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.
       Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of
any Apple stores in the world. The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the
market.
       The new stores reflect Apple's confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones
and tablet computers. Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (增長(zhǎng)) the
company's third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July. China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.
       "This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we're just
scratching the surface right now," Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China. "I see an
incredible opportunity for Apple there."
       From China Daily 2011-09-08

A. WCDMA is not the only 3G standard in the world.
B. Apple Inc sells its products in the market of the Chinese mainland all by its own stores.
C. The consumers in China can only get iPad2 of Wi-Fi versions.
D. Chinese mainland is the second largest PC market in this year's second quarter.

         請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題紙上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

John Davis doesn’t use his GPS system in his car. Instead of guiding the direction, the Delaware farmer uses it to determine where and how much fertilizer to use on the crops on his 4,000-acre family-owned farm. Technological advances like that last year helped Davis and other Ohio farmers set a record for corn product. Ohio's corn crop in 2009 totaled 546 million bushels(蒲式耳), despite a cooler and wetter than normal spring, a dry summer and a delayed, wet harvest. Davis said. “I knew it would be a good crop, but it was much better than we expected.”

A farmer can map his fields on GPS, spotting where soil turned out to be least fertile（肥沃的） and using more fertilizer the next year in those areas where corn didn’t grow as well.

Although Ohio farmers produced more corn, it was grown on less land than in past years. Total area used for corn in Ohio was 3.35 million acres, about the same as in 2008 but down from 3.85 million acres in 2007, said Dwayne Siekman, director of the Ohio Corn Growers Association. “When you look at the total number of acres in Ohio used for corn, it’s clear that farmers are able to do more with less,” he said. “American farmers can grow five times more corn on 20 percent less land than they did in the 1930s, saying that modern farming techniques are necessary for a growing demand in the world today.” That technology includes using improved seeds that can withstand(忍受) greater temperature extremes and pests, Siekman said.

Farmers aren't the only ones who benefit. Consumers(消費(fèi)者) do, too, as food costs reduce in the face of “enough supplies of corn,” said Fred Yoder, who runs a 1,500-acre corn, soybean and wheat farm in Plain City. “This is the best, highest-producing corn crop that I've raised in 30 years,” he said.

1. Most people usually use the GPS system for ______.

    A. driving their cars    B. telling the position   C. mending the car   D. supplying the sunshine

2. The farmers in Ohio use GPS to ______.

    A. check if the soil is fertile in some areas                       B. control the rain of the place

    C. water the crops if the weather is dry                                            D. draw the map of all the crops

3. Why did Ohio farmers produce more corn?

    A. Because they expanded more land to grow corn

    B. Because they turned to technological advances

    C. Because they used more and more fertilizer.

    D. Because they supplies themselves with more money.

4. From the passage, we can know _____.

    A. John Davis hadn’t expected a good harvest.

    B. farmers grew less land than in the 1930s

    C. improved seeds cost much more money

    D. the output of corn in the same field is increased.

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday．

People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study

of 60,000 people in Singapore found．

Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other

poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study．

“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰島素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”P(pán)ereira said in a statement．

Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and colleagues

said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years．

Over that time，140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer．Those who drank two or

more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got

pancreatic cancer．

Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。

“Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are

eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．

But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．

“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of

cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not�！眘aid Mayne．

who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for

Cancer Research．

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In

the United States，37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die

of it．

4 1．According to the text，who is in control of the health study?

閱讀理解: 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?

They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.

The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.

1. Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival ____.

A. is organized by a middle school

B. is as famous as the Toronto Festival

C. shows films made by children

D. offers awards to film school students

A. It helps young filmmakers to make money.

B. It provides arts projects for young people.

3. The underlined word “shorts” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.

A. short trousers  B. short kids   C. short films   D. short stories

4. Movies to shown in the festival ____.

A. cover different subjects.

B. focus on kids’ life

C. are produced by Global Action Project

D. are directed by Ms. Gardner

5. At the end of this film festival, there will be ____.

     Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
     A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The
dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as
good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩).
     In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into
20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In
four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists
believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
     In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with
seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word
the dog had never heard before.
     The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer
by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even
more impressive.
     Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品種)
known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names
since the age of nine months.
     It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk
back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in
return!
1. From paragraph 2 we know that _____.
A. animals are as clever as human beings
B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
C. chimpanzees have good word-learning skills
D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
2. Both experiments show that _____.
A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
B. Rico can recognize different things including toys
C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics
D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.
B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.
C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.
D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.
4. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. To train your dog.
B. To talk to your dog.
C. To be friendly to your dog.
D. To be careful with your dog.
