The past week was possibly the most eventful in the history of customer technology markets, or to be precise, the 7-inch (17.8-cm) tablet (平板電腦)market. Never before have three of the biggest players in the industry scheduled what could be truly historic product launches (上市）so close together.

Despite its name, the 7.9-inch iPad Mini is one of the largest among the mini-tablets. It's got all the aesthetics of its earlier 9.7-inch iPad and is unbelievably thin-just 7.2 mm, 23 percent thinner than the iPad.

Google may have been forced to cancel its Android event in New York City on Oct 29 due to the threat of hurricane Sandy, but that isn't stopping it from making same big announcements. For starters, Google has confirmed (證實(shí)）that the Nexus 10 will be running Android 4.2 out of the box, so get excited. It will also come equipped with a 10-inch display running at an impressive 2560x1600 resolution. On the inside, it'll have a A15 dual-core (雙核）processor running alongside 2GB of RAM (內(nèi)存)，so expect the Nexus 10 to be a speedy little tablet.

Microsoft's Surface is a bold product with some great touches. It doesn't feature a camera and focuses on Office software, which suggests Microsoft is focusing this product on an executive toy. There's no 3G connection (only Wi-Fi) so owners won't have to worry about an extra contract.

The real delight, however, is Metro, the impressive navigation interface (導(dǎo)航界面).It is beautifully designed with brightly colored squares for navigation. Pre-orders for Surface in the US sold out over the weekend, so it would seem customers are excited.

試題分析： 過(guò)去一周可能是電子消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)歷史上，或更準(zhǔn)確地說(shuō)，是7英寸（約17.8厘米）平板電腦市場(chǎng)上的多事之秋。有史以來(lái)，該行業(yè)的三大巨頭首次撞車(chē)般地相繼發(fā)布了具有歷史意義的產(chǎn)品。誰(shuí)將稱(chēng)雄平板電腦市場(chǎng)？下面我們來(lái)快速比評(píng)一下。

1.推理判斷題。文章第一段的意思：過(guò)去一周可能是電子消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)歷史上，或更準(zhǔn)確地說(shuō)，是7英寸（約17.8厘米）平板電腦市場(chǎng)上的多事之秋。有史以來(lái)，該行業(yè)的三大巨頭首次撞車(chē)般地相繼發(fā)布了具有歷史意義的產(chǎn)品。分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng)：A 三個(gè)最大的公司在一起制造了一個(gè)新產(chǎn)品，錯(cuò)，應(yīng)該是各自研發(fā)了新產(chǎn)品；B一項(xiàng)技術(shù)被引進(jìn)到平板電腦行業(yè)，不是；C三大公司幾乎同時(shí)發(fā)布了他們的新產(chǎn)品，與文章內(nèi)容相符；D平板電腦市場(chǎng)，在十月份失控了，文章為提交。故選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。文章第二段的意思是：盡管名字叫做“迷你”，但這款7.9寸屏的iPad Mini卻是迷你平板電腦中的巨人之一。它可以同此前的任何一款9.7寸平板電腦相媲美。7.2毫米的超薄機(jī)身，比iPad要輕薄23%。但同其他平板相比，美中不足的是，它只搭配了1024x768的顯示屏，未采用視網(wǎng)膜顯示技術(shù)。iPad Mini型號(hào)眾多，分為16G、32G以及64G，所以集成存儲(chǔ)不成問(wèn)題。不過(guò)，它的最低售價(jià)也高出競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手許多。排除C價(jià)格選項(xiàng)；而與巴諾Nook HD 1440x900的分辨率，或是與谷歌Nexus7以及亞馬遜Kindle Fire HD1200x800的分辨率相比，其1024x768的分辨率遜色了不少。由此排除A Wi-Fi版本、B操作系統(tǒng)。所以7.9寸屏的iPad Mini 對(duì)消費(fèi)者的主要貢獻(xiàn)是它的個(gè)頭大小。故選D。

3.細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。 根據(jù)文中第三段對(duì)Nexus10的介紹：盡管受颶風(fēng)桑迪影響，谷歌公司不得不取消本定于10月29號(hào)在紐約舉行的安卓產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會(huì)，但卻未阻止它發(fā)布一個(gè)同樣重量級(jí)的消息。谷歌正式推出了由三星公司打造的Nexus10平板電腦，此前大多數(shù)的傳聞都被證實(shí)為真。首先，谷歌已證實(shí)，1. Nexus10平板電腦將創(chuàng)造性地搭配安卓4.2系統(tǒng)，這無(wú)疑是個(gè)令人振奮的好消息。2.它配有10英寸顯示屏，分辨率達(dá)到2560x1600，著實(shí)令人贊嘆。3.內(nèi)置A15 雙核處理器，2GB內(nèi)存。所以，想象一下吧，Nexus10會(huì)是一臺(tái)高速的迷你平板。由此判斷有三項(xiàng)技術(shù)被引入Nexus10。故選D。

4.細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。分析文中32GB Wi-Fi的價(jià)格：A. Price of Microsoft's Surface(32GB M-Fi): $499

B. Price of Apple's iPad Mini(32GB Wi-Fi): $429；C. Price of Google's Nexus 10(32GB) : $449；D.A15dual-core processor. （A15雙核處理器）；故選A。

 (10·四川D篇)

Somali pirates(海盜) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.

Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡邏)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．

The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．

“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”

  "This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer．

  The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．

Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

53.The pirate attack reported in the text happened            ．

w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

A．far out in the Indian Ocean

B．in the normal patrol area

C．near the Somali, coastw_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

D．in the south of Africa

54．According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?

A．More goods on board are lost.

B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.

C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.

55．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?

w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

A．The patrols are of little effect.

B．The patrols are more difficult.

C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.

D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.

Weighed down by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life ? Frightened by the possible war ? Well, you’re not alone. Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine-----laughter.

In the past year, more than 15 laughter clubs have been set up across the country. People of all ages go to release their stress with an hour group laughs. “People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh. They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while. So they come,” said 40—year—old Jocelyne Le Moan. She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle---aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day. Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh”and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak”to each other in different ways. And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter. At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”, when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.

“I love it. It’s an experience that has changed my life. Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,”Said Romain Jouffroy, 24. “US President George W. Bush should give it a try. He has lost his laugh,”she joked . Like Jouffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and why not ? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day.

The average adult only a day seven to 15.

The physical benefits of laughter are already well—recognized. Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood—stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage（按摩）the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.

“A full hour is like having your inside go jogging！One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized（產(chǎn)生新活力. And on top of that , you’ve had a laugh,”said doctor Alexisd’ Estaing.And many participants in Paris also emphasize the psychological benefits. They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident.

1.Which of the following is not included among the benefits of laughing?

A．It can make people rediscover their children’s laugh.

2.The writer suggested that you should_____________.

A．take the world’s best medicine.

A．Jocelyne Le Moan is a teacher of the club.

B．the members are mostly middle---aged white collars.

C．people always need some way to relax in life.

D．laugh freely and everything goes well.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：重慶市2010年高三下學(xué)期沖刺試卷（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

Summer is a busy time for travel. For years, people have wondered whether they are safe from viruses when they travel in small, enclosed areas. They worry about close contact with others who may be sick.

The current spread of a swine flu(豬流感) virus has added to these concerns. Recently, the World Health Organization raised its warning about the new H1N1 virus to its highest level. W.H.O. Director-General Margaret Chan declared the sickness a pandemic–a disease that has spread to many nations. Given this information, many people want to know how safe it is to travel?

The answers people are getting may seem conflicting. For example, a W.H.O. statement urged nations not to close their borders or limit trade and travel. Director-General Chan said cases are generally not that serious for most people. Still, W.H.O. officials continue to report new cases across the world.

In the past, the W.H.O. and experts noted guidance for disease spread on airplanes. The experts said you could get infected only if you sit within two rows of someone who is sick. That would be a distance of up to three meters from the sick person. And this was true only if you sat there for more than eight hours.

But a travel-health expert says this guidance may not be helpful for swine flu. He suggests steps that could help prevent getting swine flu on an airplane. His advice includes keeping the airflow over your seat on the “l(fā)ow” position. The doctor says you should point the equipment so the flow of air is just in front of your face.

Doctors say anyone with pain, swelling(腫脹) or red skin on a leg during or after a long trip may have a blood clot(凝塊). Anyone with such signs should see a doctor as soon as possible. The condition many times can be treated with drugs that thin the blood and stop the clot from moving through the body.

68．The underlined word “conflicting” is closest in meaning to ________.

A. in disagreement        B. not true                           C. the same                          D. unbelievable

69．According to Director-General Chan, the swine flu is ________.

A. a disease spread on airplanes                                B. a very dangerous disease

C. a disease requiring limit travel                              D. a widely spread disease

70．Which of the following is the travel-health expert’s opinion on traveling in an airplane?

A. It’s safe to sit within two rows of a sick person.

B. It’s helpful to keep air flowing right before your face.

C. It’s important for a passenger to stay in a plane within 8 hours.

D. It’s certain that a passenger will have a blood clot after a long flight.

71．What would be the best title for the text?

A. Stop Traveling in Case of Swine Flu                  B. Experts’ Arguments Over Swine Flu

C. Prevention of Swine Flu on the Trip                   D. No News Is the Best News
