Hikosaburo Yasuda of Nakano, Japan, plans to buy an iPad to keep up with junior members in his computer club．"It's important to always try new things, otherwise you get left behind," he says．  

        

       Yasuda is 95 years old．He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple （AAPL）'s iPad．The company has sold 3．27 million iPads since its launch in April, but doesn't break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them．However, anecdotal evidence suggests it's a hit with the elderly．

       The iPad's intuitive interface （直觀界面） makes it appealing to senior citizens around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because it's very forgiving of mistakes．" Miura's team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin the workforce．"Unlike the PC, it doesn't require previous knowledge," he says．

       James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad's popularity with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Elderly users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”

The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly receptive to the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japan's Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and stave off dementia. "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.

The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 2 may probably mean “      ”.

       A．a(chǎn) hard strike     B．a(chǎn) heavy burden       C．quite popular    D．very familiar

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad over the PC?

       A．It has intuitive interface. B．It is easier to operate.

       C．It is more accessible to beginners.   D．It is a good mental exercise.

What can we learn from the passage?

       A．The people under thirty are the largest consumers in Japan except for the elderly.

       B．The traditional customers of AAPL’s products are usually the yong.

       C．The elderly will soon grow into the largest customer group in place of the young.

       D．The elderly in Japan have great enthusiasm for latest hi – tech products.

What could be the best title for the passage?

      A．The iPad leads Apple to the elderly

       B．Ipad hits Japan’s store shelves

       C．Ipad’s arrival in Tokyo causes Uapanese to reflect

       D．AAPL attempts to balance the old and the yong

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年甘肅省高三第二次診斷考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills(泄露) on people, nature, and the environment.

        Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil. Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.

         Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious. Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material. In the end, it breaks down naturally. There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term.

         Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible. In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean. If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.

         Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage. Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run!

         We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil. Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power(太陽能), electricity, hydrogen, and so on. Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal.

         If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient(高效的) — and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient — we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year. If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too.

1.What is the passage mainly talking about?

   A. Oil spills pollution.                                                   B. What oil pollution is.

C. Oil tanker accidents.                                                    D. How to reduce oil pollution.

2.How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?

A. By giving a description.                                          B. By making an argument.             

C. By giving an example.                                                  D. By drawing a diagram.

3.What does the underlined word “risk” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Transportation depending more on oil.      B. Poisonous oil breaking down naturally.

C. Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea.   D. More environmental damage being caused.

4.Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?

A. We should build safer oil tankers in the near future.

B. We should develop new technologies to cut oil use.

C. Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines.

D. Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea.
