【題目】 The iPhone once was called a magical product (產(chǎn)品) because of it success over the years. However, now the iPhone seems to lose its attraction (吸引力).

Apple got only 84.3 billion dollars for the company’s first quarter (季度) of 2019. It’s the company’s worst sale result in the recent ten years. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, explained that the decline (下降) was mainly because of the weaker need in China.

However, people believe that Apple itself is largely responsible (有責(zé)任的) for the decline. For example, an iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s newest smart phones, costs 1,450 dollars in the US, while other phones usually cost no more than 500 dollars. This made people feel not so necessary to change their old phones for the newest ones.

On the other hand, Huawei, the biggest competitor (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者) against Apple, is always improving the technology (技術(shù)) in its phones. For example, Huawei put a triple-lens (三鏡頭) camera on its P20Pro in 2018 and a foldable (可折疊的) phone Mate X in 2019. However, Apple did worse in this part.

“It’s true that the technology in Chinese phones is getting better and better and more and more Chinese people would like to buy a Huawei phone. I’m one of them.” said FengYin, a 32-year-old engineer in China.

In fact, it’s not just Chinese customers that trust in Chinese smart phone brands (品牌). Tom from London bought his eighth Huawei phone in 2018. He also advised his 56-year-old aunt to buy one. “I wasn’t really worried about the fact that it was a Chinese brand, because we know that China is now making wonderful products with high technology.” Tom told New York Times about his Huawei phone.

【1】Did Apple have a good sale result during the first quarter of 2019?

【2】How much does an iPhone Xs Max cost in the US?

____________________________________________________________

【3】Why do people believe that Apple itself is largely responsible for the decline?

____________________________________________________________

【4】Do you like a Chinese brand or a foreign brand better when you choose a product? Why?

【答案】

【1】No, it didn't.

【2】An Phone Xs Max is 0dollars.

【3】Apple company’s price is high and Apple doesn’t improve the technology in its phones.

【4】Chinese phones. Because Chinese phones is getting better and better.

【解析】

本文講述了iPhone曾經(jīng)被稱為一個(gè)神奇的產(chǎn)品因?yàn)樗晒�，但是現(xiàn)在iPhone似乎失去吸引力。蘋果公司的首席執(zhí)行官蒂姆庫克解釋說是因?yàn)橹袊?guó)需求量降低，但是人們認(rèn)為iPhone價(jià)格過高，而且沒有華為公司手機(jī)功能強(qiáng)。iPhone這才是銷售量下降的重要原因。

【1】句意：蘋果在2019年第一季度的銷售業(yè)績(jī)好嗎?

根據(jù)“Apple got only 84.3 billion dollars for the company’s first quarter (季度) of 2019. It’s the company’s worst sale result in the recent ten years.” 這是該公司近十年來最糟糕的銷售業(yè)績(jī)。故答案為No, it didn't.

【2】句意：iPhone Xs Max在美國(guó)的售價(jià)是多少?

根據(jù)“For example, an iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s newest smart phones, costs 1,450 dollars in the US”售價(jià)是1450美元，故答案為An Phone Xs Max is 1450dollars.

【3】句意：為什么人們認(rèn)為蘋果公司要對(duì)銷量下降負(fù)主要責(zé)任?

根據(jù)“For example, an iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s newest smart phones, costs 1,450 dollars in the US, …This made people feel not so necessary to change their old phones for the newest ones”，“On the other hand, Huawei, the biggest competitor (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者) against Apple, is always improving the technology (技術(shù)) in its phones.”可知，此處是價(jià)格高和不提高技術(shù)，故答案為Apple company’s price is high and Apple doesn’t improve the technology in its phones.

【4】句意：當(dāng)你選擇產(chǎn)品時(shí)，你更喜歡中國(guó)品牌還是外國(guó)品牌?為什么?

根據(jù)“It’s true that the technology in Chinese phones is getting better and better and more and more Chinese people would like to buy a Huawei phone” 中國(guó)手機(jī)的技術(shù)越來越好，越來越多的中國(guó)人想買華為手機(jī)，故答案為Chinese phones. Because Chinese phones is getting better and better.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。 A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt( 融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
（1）Which is the best way to travel in Venice?
A.The waterways.
B.Taxis and cars.
C.400 bridges
D.Boats and rain shoes.
（2）What doesn't cause Venice to get lower and lower?
A.The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.
B.Seawater is everywhere around the city.
C.People used too much underground water
D.The temperature has become higher over the years.
（3）What can we infer from the last passage?
A.Venice is sure to stop getting lower.
B.High waters won't hit Venice any more.
C.Scientists can solve the problems easily
D.Some possible ways help to solve the problem.
（4）What's the best title of this passage?
A.The Places of Interest of Venice
B.The History of Venice.
C.The Specials and Problems of Venice
D.The MOST Project of Venice.
