21．Apple announced its new iPhones last week, but competitors’ mobile phones can do many of （6分）the same things for less money.
The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging, edge-to-edge glass screen and double cameras. But all
of these features are already available in smart phones from China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.
At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.
Media MarktSaturn is Europe’s biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. ’’ She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.
Chinese manufacturers’ fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number from just three years ago, according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA．
Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closer to second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 16. The phone will have artificial intelligence features such as instant translation and image recognition and will cost less than $1,000.
Other Chinese companies are looking to enter the high-end smart phone market. 1、What is the text mainly about?
A．Smart phone’s manufacturers. B．Apple smart phone’s features.
C．Asian phone makers’ fast growth. D．Competition among Asian phone makers. 2、Which is NOT among the top 3 phone makers in the world? A．TCL. B．Samsung. C．Apple. D．Huawei. 3、What do we know from the text?
A．Huewei will have overtaken Apple by later 2017. B．Chinese makers’ phones with high-end features cost less. C．The top-10 smart phones are to enter the high-end competition. D．40 percent of Asian smart phones are exported now. 4、What is the writer’s attitude towards Asian phone makers? A．Doubtful. B．Concerned. C．Optimistic. D．Uncertain.
22．（8分）Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary. Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the world’s first licensed armless pilot.
The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word \
Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in communications. Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license, to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses.
Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005. Cox earned her pilot’s certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet.
“She's a good pilot. She's rock solid,” said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.
Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, \amazing young woman and change your vocabulary. 1、What can we learn from the first paragraphs? A．Oxford and Cambridge felt a little disappointed. B．No armless people had got a pilot certificate before. C．Jessica Cox wasn’t allowed to use the word “can’t”.
D．The word “can’t” would disappear from the English dictionary. 2、What do you think of Jessica Cox ?
A．She is a clever and brave girl. B．She is positive and determined.
C．She is indeed a poorly educated girl. D．She only takes interest in aircraft. 3、What does the underlined word “prosthetic mean in Paragraph 3? A．artificial B．damaged C．unusual D．abnormal
4、After graduating from university, Jessica Cox _____. A．suffered failure when searching for jobs. B．made a start to take training to become a pilot C．decided to use her feet as most people use hands.
D．tried her best to take care of herself in her daily life.
23．To make room for agriculture, trees and other plants are often cleared away so that farmers （8分）have space to grow crops. The clearing of forests forces many animals from their homes. They often flee the area in search of a new place to live. There is a big downside to that. Some of those animals are natural predators. They control pest populations. They can help to clear the fields of rats, mice, and other rodents that eat and damage crops.
This happened at one small farming village in Indonesia. After land was cleared for farming, rats and mice began appearing in large numbers. Villagers tried to target the animals by smoking them out and hunting them. But the villagers were unsuccessful.
So, one farmer decided to try another method- a natural one.
Pujo Arto brought owls to his farm. Owls, after all, are experts at hunting rodents. It is what they do. And it worked! However, Pujo Arto didn't stop with his own field. He set up a Natural Predator Program. Now, owls are busy catching rats and mice in the fields around the village of Tlogoweru. There is a huge upside: no need for chemical pesticides which can harm not only rodents, but other creatures.
In 2011, the Indonesian man began setting up boxes where the owls live. He is also raising owlets in the village. After about four months, the young birds are released. These facilities have raised more than owls. They have also raised awareness in the community about the importance of owls. They raised awareness within their community by building homes for those owls. At the same time, government officials helped to create laws to protect those owls.
In addition to controlling pests naturally, there is another upside to the program. His village is now a popular stop for eco-tourists. People interested in learning more about owls, wildlife protection and natural pest control come to his village to learn more.
1、Why did the owls get away from the land around the village? A．There was no food to eat.
B．There were too many rats and mice. C．They were smoked away. D．They had no place to live.
2、Natural Predator Program is . A．to use owls to catch the crop-damaging rodents B．to attract eco-tourists to the village C．to raise awareness of protecting forests D．to control pests by using chemical pesticides
3、Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?
