brother of the 100-million selling ipad product line. i think if steve jobs were still around, this product wouldnt exist (存在). he was strongly against a device (装置) this size. the technical details of the device may shake apples fans, and leave android fans pleased. here are four reasons you should not buy this new piece of apple hardware.the resolution (分辨率)the ipad mini is a thin, beautiful piece. visit the official ipad mini product page, and youll see it said to be “every inch an ipad.” unfortunately the 7.9 screens 1024 x 768 resolution is the same as the ipad 2 a device now two generations (代) old. i find it funny that apple is pushing their retina technology, while at the same time producing an ipad mini with a lower resolution. newcomers to the ipad will not be impressed, and existing ipad owners probably will not choose to buy the ipad mini as a second device.the priceapple asks for $329 for an ipad mini. however, googles nexus 7 is priced at $249, and the search giant includes a $25 voucher (优惠券). it used to be enough for apple to pull back the curtain on a new product to cause praise, but now the fierce competition has led to dirty marketing.the short life cycleapple has now proved they have no problem introducing a new revision (修订) of their products every six months. with the 4th generation ipad available (可以得到的) soon, its nothing less than a slap in the face to apple fans. we should expect a similar treatment of the ipad mini. by summer 2013, expect apple to roll out an ipad mini 2.the a 5 chip (芯片)this is the same chip powering the ipad 2 a device now two generations old and the ipod touch. apple is a brilliant technology company. some may call them a lifestyle company. the ipad is worth every bit of praise and success it has gained so far. but this time, apple didnt come up with a new and clever product.53.what would happen if steve jobs were still alive?a. apple wouldnt produce the ipad mini. b. he would make the ipad mini more popular.c. android fans would be happy for the new product.d. the technical details of the ipad mini would be better.54.which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the resolution of the ipad mini is high enough.b. using too many electronic devices is bad for health.c. google has similar products with a higher price.d. the newest ipad mini will go out of date very soon. 55. what is the passage mainly about?a. the failure of apple.b. an introduction of an ipad mini.c. reasons one shouldnt buy an ipad mini.d. the advantages and disadvantages of an ipad mini.56.what can you infer about the authors attitude?a. the author admires steve jobs very much.b. the author isnt much of a fan of the ipad mini.c. the author thinks apple isnt as good as google.d. the author considers all apple products useless.deveryone knows you must exercise regularly to keep good health. indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture. we consider that healthy people are attractive people. since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines and books offering to help us stay physically fit.unfortunately, however, our culture doesnt place the same emphasis (重要性) on mental fitness. although we tend to like men and women with strong, healthy-looking bodies, we dont have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated, mentally healthy people. this is a pity, because there are great rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.-年级( ) -班级( )-姓名( ) -装-订-线-if your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you. and if you are also well educated that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life. over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny (命运) and a much better life than otherwise. people who are poorly educated or who dont think well that is, people who are not mentally fit see things differently. their world is controlled by mysterious, often malevolent（恶意的）forces. such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow rules they will never understand. although it may not be obvious, most spend their lives being manipulated by others. they are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire（渴望）to in life. in my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well. for this reason, i want you to be able to concentrate, to solve problems, to understand complex ideas, and to think clearly and quickly. such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise lone-term decisions and appreciate music, art and literature.the key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself. 57. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the people who are not mentally fit often live a poor and mysterious life.b. learning is very important for being able to make good decisions in life.c. if you like to learn music and history, you will be a mentally fit person.d. physically healthy people are not as popular as mentally healthy people.58. the underlined word manipulated means_. a. controlled b. influenced c. effected d. forced 59. what can be the best title for the passage? a. mind helps you more b. use your mind c. make informed decisionsd. train your mind 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）a. and it broke up after seven years b. paul comes from an ordinary family c. he liked

“wings”, but it was never as successful as “the beatles”. 63 . since the 1980s paul has written pop music and has worked on films. he is one of the best songwriters and musicians that no rock fan will ever forget.八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）as everyone knows, the law in most countries nowadays demands (要求) that all children receive an education. however, do you know that a number of parents make special arrangements to educate their children at home? this happens mainly to the children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted (有天赋的).whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages of educating children at home. first, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects which they find difficult. second, it is easier for them to pay attention since they dont have the distraction (分心) of noisy classmates. finally, they learn more in
