BEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving up market and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (發(fā)布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 4, 499 yuan ($575), less than half the 5,488 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.

Xiaomi, founded in 4010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.

Xiaomi “is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following” in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.

“Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand,” said Blair. “The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market.”

Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 5 billion yuan ($14.4 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.

Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents（專利）.

In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a “rite of passage” (成年禮) for a young company.

試題分析：本文是關(guān)于介紹中國國產(chǎn)小米手機及其公司的一篇文章。文章指出小米手機作為中國新興手機發(fā)展速度很快,小米手機以其價格低為優(yōu)勢和三星等國外品牌競爭,占據(jù)了一定的國內(nèi)市場,并且獲得了巨大的經(jīng)濟效益。

【1】 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Xiaomi, founded in 4010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year ...”可知小米手機銷量在去年第二季度超過三星,而不是去年一年,故A錯。根據(jù)第一段第二句“The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (發(fā)布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper.”可知應(yīng)該是小米手機更薄、更輕,故B錯。本篇文章沒有提到小米手機拓展歐美市場,故D錯。根據(jù)根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知小米手機的優(yōu)勢是價格便宜。故C正確。

【2】 A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.”可知蘋果手機去年銷量為4500萬部,并且仍在增加,故A對。其余選項都未明確指出。故A正確。

【3】 C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段整段分析,本段給出很多數(shù)據(jù)來說明事實,可知應(yīng)是通過提供數(shù)據(jù)來完成文章的。故C正確。

【4】 C 態(tài)度觀點題。根據(jù)最后一段“In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a “rite of passage” (成年禮) for a young company. ”雷軍描述印度事件是對于年輕公司的成年禮,即通往成熟與成功的一個重要標(biāo)志。由此可知雷軍的態(tài)度應(yīng)是積極的。故C正確。
