【題目】BEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (發(fā)布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.

Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.

Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.

"Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market."

Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.

Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents（專利）.

In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年禮) for a young company.

A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.

B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.

C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.

D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?

A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.

B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.

C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.

D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.

【3】How is the 5th paragraph developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By analyzing cause and effect.

C. By providing data.

D. By making comparisons.

【4】What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?

試題分析：本文是關(guān)于介紹中國(guó)國(guó)產(chǎn)小米手機(jī)及其公司的一篇文章。文章指出小米手機(jī)作為中國(guó)新興手機(jī)發(fā)展速度很快，小米手機(jī)以其價(jià)格低為優(yōu)勢(shì)和三星等國(guó)外品牌競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，占據(jù)了一定的國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)，并且獲得了巨大的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。

【1】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year....... ”可知小米手機(jī)銷量在去年第二季度超過(guò)三星，而不是去年一年，故A錯(cuò)。根據(jù)第一段第二句“The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (發(fā)布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. ”可知應(yīng)該是小米手機(jī)更薄，更輕，故B錯(cuò)。本篇文章沒有提到小米手機(jī)拓展歐美市場(chǎng)，故D錯(cuò)。根據(jù)根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知小米手機(jī)的優(yōu)勢(shì)是價(jià)格便宜。故C正確。

【2】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow. ”可知蘋果手機(jī)去年銷量為4500萬(wàn)部，并且仍在增加，故A對(duì)。其余選項(xiàng)都未明確指出。故A正確。

【3】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段整段分析，本段給出很多數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)說(shuō)明事實(shí)，可知應(yīng)是通過(guò)提供數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)完成文章的。故C正確。

【4】C 態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題。根據(jù)最后一段“In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年禮) for a young company. ”雷軍描述印度事件是對(duì)于年輕公司的成年禮，即通往成熟與成功的一個(gè)重要標(biāo)志。由此可知雷軍的態(tài)度應(yīng)是積極的。故C正確。

When I was at middle school, I have a nice classmate, that was the first foreigner I had ever met. She was friendly and very pretty. She was good in three languages, although he was born in China. It was interested that her father was a Frenchman while her mother came from England. All of them were teaching at a university at that time. She was crazy collecting stamps, listening to pop music, as well as playing the football. Her dream was to be an engineer, so she usually studied harder to achieve it. She often told funny stories in English to make us laughing. We all liked her.

【題目】Nowadays the U.S. students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting, playing video games, watching TV and using the media in other ways.

“Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal, Sleep Medicine.

But the relationship between youth’s media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis. “Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer ‘Why are school-age children sleeping less?’” said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.

There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers’ sleep, he wrote.

But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime.

Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students’ sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.

Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate（合并）bus routes might help explain U.S. students’ sleepiness.

“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said.

【1】Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

A. Kids benefit a lot from technology.

B. Several sleep troubles appear at school.

C. Some tips can help kids sleep well.

D. Several factors affect kids’ sleep.

【2】Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better?

A. Parents should be well educated.

B. Technology is forbidden at home.

C. Their playing time must be limited.

D. They are allowed to go to school early.

【3】Who are most likely to be interested in the text?

A. The teachers. B. The parents.

C. The officials. D. The researchers.

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 【1】 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 【2】 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

【3】 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 【4】

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動(dòng)的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 【5】

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
