【原創(chuàng)】On Sunday, Samsung used the 2015 installment of Mobile World Congress to announce the latest models of its Galaxy line of smartphones: the S6 and S6 Edge, aiming to retake its throne.

Both devices take the Galaxy line in a completely new direction. The most apparent change is the noticeable lack of plastic formerly synonymous with Samsung smartphones. With the S6 lineup, Samsung chose to go with a combination of metal and a glass housing.

The S6 Edge features a curved display on both edges of the screen. A fingerprint sensor sits below the home button. The user only needs to place a finger on the button and wait for the scan to complete. The change makes the experience nearly identical to that of Apple’s Touch ID.

Sure to disappoint Samsung loyalists, the South Korean company rejected two features long used to mock(嘲弄)Apple’s AAPL 0.49% iPhone: expandable storage and a replaceable battery. Looking beyond the changes in appearance are a faster processor, higher-quality camera, curved display, and wireless charging capabilities.

The new feature called Samsung Pay is very appealing and will bring users more convenience.

And it has a leg up on Apple Pay, which is limited to working only at retail locations and outlets with the necessary equipment to process NFC payments. With Samsung Pay, users won’t be caught in the middle of a spat between competing payment platforms. So go right ahead.

Another thing: Each year when Samsung would announce the latest Galaxy device, it would announce some software-based features that served little purpose. With this year’s release, Samsung cut the fat. Any unnecessary menus were left out.

For years, Samsung’s flagship phones have been long on features, but short on follow-through. The new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge appear to lay the groundwork for a lineup of devices that are quite the opposite.

1. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The competition between Samsung and Apple.

B. The introduction of the latest models of Samsung.

C. The development of Samsung company.

D. The similarity between Apple and Samsung.

2.Which is NOT the new feature of the S6 and S6 Edge?

3.According to the passage, we can know Apple ______.

4.In which aspect may Samsung’s latest models disappoint its users?

A. It is more expensive than expected.

試題分析:本文主要介紹了三星Galaxy系列手機(jī)的最新力作：Galaxy S6和S6 Edge，而且從某些方面和Apple手機(jī)進(jìn)行了對比，比如S6的支付功能更加便利。Galaxy S6和S6 Edge代表了三星開始選擇另一條道路，并為以后的一系列機(jī)型奠定了道路。

1.Galaxy S6和S6 Edge手機(jī)。

2.】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段末句Looking beyond the changes in appearance are a faster processor, higher-quality camera, curved display, and wireless charging capabilities.和第五段第一句The new feature called Samsung Pay is very appealing可知選A。

3.】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段末句The change makes the experience nearly identical to that of Apple’s Touch ID可知B選項(xiàng)正確。而根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知Apple沒有可替換電池，故A選項(xiàng)錯誤；從第五段內(nèi)容可知蘋果手機(jī)有Apple Pay ，即支付功能，排除D選項(xiàng)。C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容沒有提及。

4.】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段Sure to disappoint Samsung loyalists, the South Korean company rejected two features long used to mock(嘲弄)Apple’s AAPL 0.49% iPhone: expandable storage and a replaceable battery.可知選D。A選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文章沒有涉及；而根據(jù)第五段首句可知三星的支付功能更加方便；排除B選項(xiàng)；再從第六段可知新款三星手機(jī)刪去了一些幾乎沒什么功能的軟件。

5.】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章對三星新產(chǎn)品的介紹可知三星新品注重了審美層面本變化，首次使用了“金屬+玻璃”的材質(zhì)組合，配備了更快的處理器、更高質(zhì)量的攝像頭、曲面屏以及無線充電功能和“三星支付”功能。將Galaxy系列產(chǎn)品帶向了一個全新的方向。由此推斷三星手機(jī)一直是長于功能，短于跟進(jìn)一直注重功能性，故答案選C。

When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it ought to be used. Eventually they boiled the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale（麥芽酒）as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.

Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals — breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, massive meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 — 1861) experienced a “sinking feeling” in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking the fields”.

The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common pattern of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine porcelain（瓷器）from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second pot (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small flame. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.

1. The story of the old couple in Paragraph 1 is to show ____________.

A. how impolite the old couple were

B. how English people cooked tea

C. how difficult it was to introduce tea to England

D. how little English people knew about tea in those days

2.The underlined phrase “sinking feeling” in Paragraph 2 refers to a feeling of ____________.

A. hunger B. loneliness

C. thirst D. anger

3.According to the passage, the key factors of a typical afternoon tea include ____________.

a. cakes and bread

b. a massive meal

c. tea d. ale

e. fine porcelain

f. silver tea pot

g. a small flame

A. a, b, c, d, f B. a, c, e, f, g

C. a, b, e, f, g D. a, c, d, e, g

4.We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.

A. leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in England

B. helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhood

C. is not only an additional afternoon meal but helps bring people together

D. contributes to the increasingly high price of tea and porcelain in England

Shirley Temple Black, who lifted America’s spirit as a bright-eyed child movie star during the Great Depression, peacefully passed away at her California home on Monday evening at 85, surrounded by her family and caregivers.

Temple, born on April 23, 1928, started her entertainment career in the early 1930s and was famous by age 6. Temple was 3 when her mother put her in dance school, where a talent scout spotted her and got her in Baby Burlesks, a series of short movies with child actors playing in adult movies.

Movie studio directors took notice of her and in 1934 she appeared in the film Stand Up and Cheer! and her song and dance caught people’s attention. Movies such as Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes featured her signature song. In 1935, she received a special Oscar for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the movie Stand Up and Cheer!

She made some 40 feature movies, including The Little Colonel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 10 years, starring with big-name actors like Randolph Scott, Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Durante. Temple was a superstar before the term was invented. She said she was about 8 when crowds shouting their love for her made her realize she was famous. “I wondered why,” she recalled. “I asked my mother and she said, ‘Because your films make them happy.’ ”

Her child career came to an end at 12. She tried a few roles as a teenager—including opposite future president Ronald Reagan in That Hagen Girl – but retired from the screen in 1949 at 21.

Temple was only 17 when she married for the first time to John Agar, who would eventually appear with her in two movies. Their five-year marriage produced a daughter. In 1950 she wed Charles Black in a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005. She and Black had two children. Temple’s interest in politics was sparked in the early 1950s when her husband was called back into the Navy to work in Washington.

1.For which movie did Shirley Temple win the Oscar?

A. That Hagen Girl

B. Little Miss Marker

C. Stand Up and Cheer

D. The Little Colonel

2.When Temple first caught the audience’s eyes, ____.

A. she hoped to play a role in a series of movies

B. her family was offered

C. her mother sent her to a local dance school

D. the United States was in fact in financial straits

3.After Temple got married to Charles Black, ____.

A. she might have begun her political life

B. she had to raise her two young children

C. she decided to work for the Navy

D. she ended her film career on screen

4.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ___.

A. people could find happiness in Temple’s films

B. Temple’s mother only focused on income

C. Temple disliked crowds shouting at her

D. Temple’s mother was worried about her
