     Apple designs the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod. Each of Apple's products sounds cool and has
become a fad(時尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i" and many other
brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer , which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the
Internet , adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear ( popular in the US and UK ) that plays music and
video is called "iTeddy". A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper came out last
week under the name "i". In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when
terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
     Most "i" products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of Independent "i",
it is no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name. But it's hard to see what's so special about
the letter "i" . Why not use "a", "b" or "c" instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language
Center at King's College, London, "i" works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple
uses "i", no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Mr.Thorne told
BBC Magazines,     "Even when Apple created the iPad, it seems it didn't have one clear definition ,
However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (輕便)." Clearly the letter "i"
also agrees with the idea that the      Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes
they have their own needs, and they love personalized products for this reason. Along with "Google"
and "Twitter", readers of BBC Magazines voted "i" as one of the top 20 words that have come to define
the last decade.
     But as history shows, fads come and go. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with "2000" in their
names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However,
as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.

1. People use the iPlayer to _________.

A. listen to music                    
B. make a call
C. read newspapers                    
D. watch TV programs online

2. From the passage We know that the Independent " i "  is aimed at _________.

A. old readers                    
B. young readers
C. fashionable women                  
D. engineers

3. Nowadays, the "i" term often reminds people of the products which are _________.

A. portable.                          
B.  advanced        
C. recyclable                        
D. environmentally friendly

4. The author of the passage would probably agree that __________.

A. "i" products are often of high quality
B. all "i" products have something to do with Internet
C. the popularity of "i" products may not last long
D. the iTeddy is a live bear

I ran across an old photo of him the other day, thinking of some old things. He’s been dead for 25 years. His name was Rex.

11【題文】  With its budget of $80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast(明星云集的演員陣容), Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows.

But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.

And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy(偵探)and an innocent northern soldier. The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.

Clocking in at(結(jié)束于)around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained(精疲力竭) as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.

41.By expressing “boy oh boy” in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _______.

A.the film characters are like boys who are childish.

B.the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience.

C.the film is suitable for younger boys to watch.

D.the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn’t watch it.

42.When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao?

A.When he read the history story about Cao Cao.

B.When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju,

C.When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies.

D.When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy.

43.The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except_______.

A.high budget

B.leading roles

C.a(chǎn)ctors and actress

D.conversations

44.From the passage we can infer that_______.

A.the author is a football fan in a foreign country.

B.Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football.

C.the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours.

D.the author was very tired after about two hours’ battle.

13【題文】The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.

Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T(美國電話電報公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."

The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network.

57.The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______

A.It looks and feels better

B.It has a faster network

C.It is easy to locate a place

D.It is too expensive for people to buy

58.Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time? ______.

A.Because iPhone 3G is just a toy.

B.ecause he prefers Verizon phone better.

C.Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there

D.Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time

59.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage. ____.

A.App Store will offer you great fun.

B.many apps have been developed for the iPhone.

C.Most apps are very expensive.

D.Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites.

60.From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____.

14【題文】Birds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.

Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.

Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.

Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.

“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.

The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.

Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.

Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.

65.According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______.

A.they have to watch out for possible attacks

B.their brain hemispheres take turns to rest

C.the two halves of their brain are differently structured

D.they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions

66.What is implied about the example of a bird’s sleeping in front of a mirror?

A.An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.

B.Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.

C.The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.

D.A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.

67. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______.

A.a(chǎn)lert themselves to the approaching enemy

B.emerge from water now and then to breathe

C.be sensitive to the ever-changing environment

D.a(chǎn)void being swept away by rapid currents

68.By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______.

A.half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather

B.the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved

C.most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers

D.half-brain sleep may exist among other species

15【題文】People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.

For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He's a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.

"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."

China's President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.

Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan's independence, human rights and Tibet.

Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China's slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.

But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University's Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong.

He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before."

Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his

predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it's a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.

73.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?

A.Mr. Obama was popular with many students in Beijing mostly because he will take office soon.

B.Economic slowdown is the big problem that the world is facing and looking forward to solve except US

C.China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Obama on his victory within hours.

D.Through Obama’s being elected, we can see all is possible in US and a new relationship may come.

74.What is not mentioned in this passage?

A.What Barack Obama is expected to do in dealing with the US-China relationship.

B.Why Barack Obama will maintain a good relationship with China.

C.How Barack Obama will deal with the current economic slowdown.

D.What image Barack Obama has given to Chinese people.

75. What does “ a sticking point”( in para.7 ) mean?

A.a(chǎn) twist point

B.a(chǎn) disputed point

C.a(chǎn) good beginning

D.a(chǎn) understanding point

76.What is the best title for this report?

A.US-Chinese Cooperation Under the Current Economic Slowdown

B.Obama, Seen As A Popular Winner In China

C.Chinese Want Stronger Ties With US Under Obama Administration

D.The Current Economic Problem faces China As Well As US

     The iPad is an Apple tablet computer. The device sits somewhere between a laptop and a
smart phone, according to Apple's chief executive, Steven P. Jobs, and does certain things better
than both of them, like surfing the Web, reading e-books and playing videos. The iPad went on
sale on April 3, 2010, and Apple said it had shipped 500,000 units in the first week. The handheld
device puts Apple on a direct collision course with the Kindle from Amazon, which Mr. Jobs ever
considered as pioneering the category.
     It is common knowledge that media companies hope the iPad will finally lead to available way
for them to charge for news, books and other materials. The half-inch thick, 1.5-pound device
features a 9.7-inch multi-touch screen and is powered by a customized(訂制的)Apple microchip,
which is called A4. It has been designed with an exposed screen and without a camera or separate
keyboard. The iPad has the same operating system as the iPhone and also has access to its 140,000
applications.
     The price of the device starts at $499 for the most basic model, with a Wi-Fi wireless connection.
More expensive models with more memory and with 3G wireless access will cost $629 to $829,
depending on storage size.
     Because Apple is attempting to popularize a new kind of computing device, acceptance among
consumers is expected to be slower than with previous Apple devices. Critics assume that some
buyers are waiting for future versions of the iPad to appear, perhaps with a camera or USB ports
(端口).
     On its first day on sale, iPad users downloaded more than one million applications from the
company's AppStore and more than 250,000 electronic books from its iBookstore. A new wave
of apps is expected in response to the iPad. For an application developer, having an application
accepted for a highly desired Apple product means reaching a passionate group of consumers.
The potential income is huge: the apps market for the iPhone and iPod Touch alone is already
worth a billion dollars a year in sales.
1. In Mr Job's opinion, the iPad              .
A. is a standard computer
B. is better than a laptop in any function
C. helps Apple to beat Amazon
D. is a "revolutionary" product between a laptop and a smart phone
2. Which of the following is NOT true of the iPad?
A. It is expected to benefit media companies.  
B. It has a lot of similar features to a laptop.
C. It has a virtual keyboard.                
D. It has the fastest Apple microchip.
3. The different prices of the iPad are determined by              .
A. the size of the screen
B. the size of the memory
C. the speed of the microchip
D. the Wi-Fi wireless connection
4. What do we know from the fourth paragraph?
A. Some consumers hope for an iPad with more functions.
B. Buyers can improve their iPads with USB devices.
C. The iPad is basically different from conventional computers.
D. The iPad is accepted faster than former Apple products.
5. It is implied in the passage that              .
A. people may download any application from the App Store
B. people would prefer to buy an iPad rather than an iPhone
C. owning an Apple product means that you will be respected
D. the Apple company will make more profit from the iPad

classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is wipe your fingers on
your phone screen and download some Apps, which can make your  study more fun and efficient.
Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy--and with the following few  apps, it'll
be tough to tell the two apart.
        Evernote
        Use: note-taking
        Can be used on: Phone/iPad/iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, PalmOS and Windows Phone 7
        Price: free
        It's hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a
notepad, pencil, and highlighter-and take notes in class. While it's not an actual planner or calendar App, if you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you. The main thing about Evernote is that all of
your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云儲存平臺上)--and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evernote App or a web browser. Evernote also support audio and
photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. 
But, of course, ask for permission first.
        Wikpanion
        Use: research database
        Can be used on: iPhone/Pad/iPod touch
        Price: free (Wikipanion Plus for$4, 99, or 31. 87 yuan)
        Now, you don't necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do
research work for your paper anymore.  You can get  access to the research databases just on your
smart phone or tablet. Wkipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipeda without leaving out any of
the site's extra features. The normal links that you'd see to each section of an article xre no longer on the
mainscreen. Instead,there's a small icon located at the bottom of the app, which can be used to access
all the sections of an article.  You can also open the links in Safari(蘋果)Safari(瀏覽器). According to
the developers' site, loading Wikipedia pages with  Wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia
site from the iPhone's browses. To be honest, we agree.
        Conquering Bilingual News Listening in 7 Days
        Use: Engtish learning applicationCan be used on: iPhone/iPadiPod touch
        Price. For a limited time you can get the App for onty $ 0.99--half price.
        Still learning Engtish with a workbook? if so, you are behind the times. Get 21th Century
Newspaper's new iPhone App, “Conquering Bilingual News Listening in 7 Days”.When you download
the App on your iPhone, you can listen to the hottest bilingual news selected from the newspaper's
official website(www, i2lst. cn) and read by native speakers.  Users can enjoy the audio bilingual news

閱讀理解。
     The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved,
but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily
find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.
     Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of
the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek
speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster
than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and
surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G
network of AT&T(美國電話電報公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active.
That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one
of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just
a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."
     The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the
hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find
tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and
mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York
Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on
the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the
programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and
UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location - provided by the iPhone 3G's
GPS chip - to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network.
1. The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______
A. It looks and feels better
B. It has a faster network
C. It is easy to locate a place
D. It is too expensive for people to buy
2. Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time? ______.
A. Because iPhone 3G is just a toy
B. Because he prefers Verizon phone better.
C. Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there
D. Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage. ____.
A. App Store will offer you great fun.
B. many apps have been developed for the iPhone.
C. Most apps are very expensive.
D. Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites.
4. From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____.
A. doubtful
B. appreciative
C. optimistic
D. pessimistic
