B Apple announced its new iPhones last week, but petitors mobile phones can do many of the same things for less money.

But all of these features are already available in smart phones from Chinas Huawei and Oppo, and Koreas Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less. At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.Media MarktSaturn is Europes biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that, “Huawei is seen as a relevant petitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. She also said that the Chinese panies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores. Chinese manufacturers fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones.

B.Concerned.C.Optimistic. D.Uncertain.C Life is difficult. What do you think about life? Maybe most people say that life is difficult. But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead, they plain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon (强加于) them or their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are unfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to wele the pain of problems.9.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A.show his opinionB.argue with readersC.give an exampleD.get readers attention10.According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to _.A.encourage them to solve problemsB.teach them to fear the pain of solving problemsC.help them learn to deal with painD.teach them how to respect problems11.The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt instruct.” suggests that _.A.we do not learn from experienceB.we do not learn when we are in painC.pain teaches us important lessonsD.the pain of problems is not wele12.The passage mainly tells us that _.A.we bee stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeB.life is difficult because our problems bring us painC.people like to plain about their problemsD.everybody has problemsD One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing puter games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a puter game should be frowned(皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren? Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing puter games is a very effective way of exercising the brain. When personal puters were first introduced, most older people didnt believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now puters have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually bee more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. Its not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate. ” Another development that has favored “grey games” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and plex strategy(策略) and simulation(模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm. Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply dont have the skills required for puter games, and that teenagers are better. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most puter games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction times. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.13.The second paragraph is intended to _.A.show the best way to exercise the brainB.stress the importance of good healthC.explain why grey gamers existD.teach how to play videogames14.The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is_.A.offering analysesB.giving examplesC.making parisonsD.providing details15.By saying “This couldnt be further from the truth.” in Paragraph 5, the author means_.A.mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB.children should improve their skills with practiceC.playing puter games requires analytical thinkingD.older people can perform well in some puter games第二节：（10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you looking for information about the importance of physical education in schools and why it should be emphasized?
