The iPhone has been called a magical product because of its success over the years. However, now the iPhone seems to have lost its attraction. Apple recently announced its financial results for the company’s first quarter of 2019, with a total income of $84.3 billion. It’s the company’s worst performance in about a decade. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, explained that the decline(下降) was mainly because of the weaker demand in China. However, people believe that Apple itself is largely responsible for the decline. Gene Munster, from US research company, told CNN that “one- third of the issue” comes from the company’s move to sharply increase the price of its entire new products. This has made people less willing to change to the latest iPhones. For example, iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s latest smartphones, costs $1,450 in the US before tax, and costs much more in other countries. Apple has also failed to introduce features that excite consumers in a forward-thinking technology market. The iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max are being criticized for lack of any real notable new software features, reported CNBC. Meanwhile, Apple also faces challenges from smartphone makers in China such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which have introduced less expensive but still quality smartphones. In 2018, Huawei introduced a triple-lens(三镜头) camera on its P20 Pro. The triple-lens camera is a popular feature that the iPhone lacks. “In the past few years, the technology in Apple’s phones has not had any big breakthroughs, while the technology in domestic(国内的) phones has gotten better and better,” Feng Yin, a 32-year-old engineer in China, told The New York Times. “The difference is getting smaller.” It’s not just Chinese consumers that have developed belief in domestic smartphone brands. Gregory from Paris bought his eighth Huawei phone in 2018. He also successfully persuaded his 56-ycar-old aunt, Jankowski, to buy one. “I wasn’t really worried about the fact that it was a Chinese brand,” Jankowski told The New York Times about her Huawei phone. “We know that they make amazing technological products.” 【1】What’s the reason for the sales fall of Apple according to Gene Munster? A.The weaker demand in China. B.Expensive new products. C.Failing to introduce new features. D.The challenges from Huawei. 【2】Which of the following statements is True according to the text? A.Apple has lost its market in China. B.The technology in Huawei has gone beyond Apple. C.Many people complain that the iPhone updates too quickly. D.More consumers begin to believe in Chinese smartphone brands. 【3】How does Jankowski feel about her Huawei phone? A.Content. B.Curious. C.Worried. D.Disappointed. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.Markets Call for Reform. B.Is Huawei Taking Off. C.Price Determines Sales. D.Is Apple Losing its Appeal. |

It’s not often sunny in Paris, but people still love to walk along the bank of the Seine. They love the view of the city’s old buildings, especially Notre Dame Cathedral, with its iconic spire(标志性塔尖). Unfortunately, that view has been forever changed. On April 16 a fire destroyed the spire of the 850-ycar-old wooden Notre Dame Cathedral built in 1163, and two-thirds of the roof. The fire shocked and saddened Parisians. Citizens gathered around the giant church, singing hymns(赞美诗) and praying for the hundreds of firefighters who fought the flames. “The importance of Notre Dame, not only to Catholics (天主教) but to all Parisians, cannot be underestimated,” wrote French author Bernard-Henri Levy. “For many in France, it’s more than a house of worship. It’s a symbol of French culture, architecture and history.” The church is also home to many religious artworks, paintings and sculptures. Luckily, its world-famous colored glass windows survived the fire. These windows are made of many small pieces of glass and feature various Christian images. Despite its long history and many treasures, the cathedral needed the help of a writer to become truly famous. Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, presented the building to a wide audience of readers. The book’s ugly lead character, Quasimodo, serves as a symbol for Paris’ forgotten Gothic(哥特式的) architecture. Hugo wrote the book to remind people of it, with the hope that they would work to protect the beautiful old buildings of Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron has promised to reconstruct the historic building. “Notre Dame is our history, our literature and it’s our imagery,” he said in a public speech following the fire. 【1】Which of the following is True about Notre Dame Cathedral? A.It is a representative architecture of France. B.It is made of wood and metal. C.It is a place for entertainment. D.It will be rebuilt in a different style. 【2】What does the underlined word “underestimated” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Undertaken. B.Undercharged. C.Undervalued. D.Understood. 【3】What makes the Cathedral known to the world? A.Its famous spire. B.Its colored glass windows. C.Victor Hugo’s novel. D.Religious treasures inside. 【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the damage to the church? A.Uncaring. B.Regretful. C.Negative. D.Optimistic. |

Almost everyone has heard the expression, "the calm before the storm". It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s. They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static(平静的) and the winds would drop. But why is it often so calm before a storm? According to the US website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and wet air from the surrounding area. As the air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong circling winds. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is, First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good judge is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away. However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms are proceeded (领先) by calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and icy winds. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature’s temper. 【1】What does the 3rd paragraph mainly tell us? A.How a storm comes into being. B.Why research is done on storm clouds. C.Why a peaceful period occurs before a storm. D.How dangerous a storm can be in certain situations. 【2】How far away is the storm if you count 18 seconds between a lightning flash and a thunder clap? A.Three kilometers. B.Four kilometers. C.Five kilometers. D.Six kilometers. 【3】What can we learn from the text? A.Storms have a big influence on life. B.It is not always quiet before a storm. C.Weather reports may fail to predict a storm. D.Heavy storms don’t usually last for a long time. 【4】Where is the text probably taken from? A.A science report. B.A weather report. C.A touring guide. D.An advertisement. |

As high school students, we must spend the vast majority of our time in class and reading books. Still, spending time with friends is also necessary and good for us. Without a friend, our world would be a wilderness. What kind of friends should we pick? 【1】 Here are some of my opinions. We need to be careful. 【2】 We may consider some to be nice and feel like making friends with them. However, not all good people are matches for us. Rather than make friends with the popular students, we should spend time with those we have things in common with, or who will be there to listen to us. Moreover, we should be careful about students with many bad habits, since they could pass those habits on to us. 【3】 No one is perfect. A friend without faults will never be found. Therefore, we should accept friend’s shortcomings and be patient with them when they make mistakes since we’re all on a journey to becoming better people.

I listen to English songs and watching English movies, as I think using different media for study are a good idea. But my parents are strongly opposed this learning method. I think that the language in some English movie and songs is unconventional. It might harm my efforts to learn to speak proper. They believe that it is not a efficient use of my time and that because I should mainly learn from textbook. So, I’m confusing about the way I lean English. I wonder whether I should follow my parents’ advice and stick to my own ideas. |
