Yasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人) are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.
The iPad’s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyou. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. “Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”
James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered, ” Cordwell says. Senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”
Seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.
小题1:The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______ .
A.a sudden attackB.a heavy burdenC.quite popularD.very familiar
小题2:Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?
A.It has intuitive interface.
B.It is easy to operate.
C.Beginners can use it without similar experiences.
D.People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.
小题3:What can we learn from the text?
A.People above thirty are Apple’s largest customer group in Japan.
B.The traditional customers of Apple’s products are usually the young.
C.Seniors will soon grow into Apple’s largest customer group.
D.Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.
小题4:What is the text mainly about?
A. iPad leading Apple to seniors.      
B. iPad influencing the customer group.
C. iPad’s arrival causing Japanese to think. 
D. iPad beating the traditional PC.

The world’s biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be King of the Web. Users can download “Google Wi-Fi” software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since last Tuesday.
Wi-Fi is short for “Wireless Fidelity”(无线上网). It allows laptop computers and personal digital assistants to the Internet at high speed by radio signal.
A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network’s access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google has already set up two “hotspots” in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fi service.
The Wi-Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks.
Wi-Fi is still limited to a few cities, where there are “hotspots”. But its capability(容量)of sending information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G(Third Generation Telecommunication Technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G.
In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Wi-Fi has other advantages compared to mobile phones. Wi-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using cell phones, you don’t need to change computers to use Internet phones when you go to other places and most importantly, many Internet phones cost you nothing at all.
小题1:Wi-Fi is not available in cities without _______.
A.a computerB.a radioC.a cell phone D.a hotspot
小题2:Which of the following is NOT true of Wi-Fi?
A.The high speed Internet connection.

C.Being used in all the US cities.

小题3:Some scientists started to call Wi-Fi 4G, because _______.

Four million children are caught up in the war in Syria. Thirteen-year-old Rabia is one of them. Tall and thin, she sits shaking in a yellow T-shirt at the Al Marj settlement, close to the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Home for Rabia was once a two-story house near Damascus. Now it is a tent shared with her nine family members.
Rabia’s face is covered with dirt, and she is tired and cold. She has just finished work, picking up potatoes that fell from a truck. Her typical day starts at 4 a.m., and she works a double shift that lasts about 16 hours, putting potatoes into bags. The only choice for her is that she can choose the first eight hours or the second eight hours. For this, she gets paid about $8 a day.
Working means Rabia misses school. Back in her village, she was the best in her class and good at everything. Her favorite subjects were Arabic literature and math. But, like many children now living in the settlements—there are no official refugee (难民)camps in Lebanon —that was Rabia’s old life. Life before war, before her family moved five times to escape the bombs, before leaving behind her bedroom, her toys and her friends without packing a bag, before “half the people I know”were dead.
The old life was full of laughter with her sister, Wala. But Wala, 14, got married two days ago to an 18-year-old Lebanese. Rabia is happy for her sister. Life in the settlement is tough— the children have nowhere to play, the bathing is poor and sexual abuse is out of control. You can’t blame parents —often confused, illiterate (不识字的)and poor—who want to marry off their daughters. They fear for their safety.
Increasing numbers of Rabia’s girlfriends are getting married. Once in rural Syria, a girl got married at 16. According to UNICEF, the age is now dropping to 12 or 13. It is no secret that Lebanese men want to marry Syrian refugee girls, who work hard and don’t ask for anything.
小题1:Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?
A.A news report.B.A book review.

小题2:The underlined word “shift”in Para. 3 probably refers to _____.
A.the extra taskB.the low pay
C.the potato factory.D.the working period
小题3:The writer"s purpose for writing Para. 4 is to ________.
A.present the dream of RabiaB.show the damage of the war
C.predict the future of Syrian girlsD.compare the life before war and now
小题4:Why are so many young Syrian girls getting married?
A.They have no good friends to play with.
B.They want money from the husband family.
C.Their parents are worried about their safety.
D.Their parents are confused,illiterate and poor.
