TOKYO— At first glance, Japanese cellphones are young people’s favorites, with elegant design and quick access to the Internet. However, despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan’s cellphone makers have little presence beyond the country’s shores.
The only Japanese cellphone maker with any meaningful global share is Sony Ericsson, and that company is a London-based joint venture(合资企业)between a Japanese electronics maker and a Swedish telecommunications firm.
And Sony Ericsson has been hit by big losses. Its market share was just 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2009, behind Nokia of Finland, Samsung Electronics and LG of South Korea, and Motorola of Illinois.
This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called i-Mode, invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones could go global.
“The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person out there will have a very advanced phone, ”said Mr Natsuno. Japan has 100 million users of advanced third-generation smart phones, twice the number of the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access.
Indeed, Japanese cellphone makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate（支配）the age of digital data. But they were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the second-generation network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan quickly adopted a third-generation standard in 2001. However, it made Japanese phones too advanced for most markets.
Several Japanese companies are now considering a push into overseas markets, including NEC. Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and Fujitsu are said to be planning similar moves.
“Japanese cellphone makers need to either look overseas, or exit the business”, said Kenshi Tazaki, a managing vice president at the consulting firm Gartner Japan.
小题1:Through the first paragraph, the author intends to tell us that___________.

A．Japanese cellphones are popular with young people

B．Japanese cellphones don’t sell well abroad

C．Japanese cellphones are very advanced

D．Japanese cellphones are specially designed for young people

小题2:The cellphone company with the largest global market share is located in______.

A．Japan

B．America

C．South Korea

D．Finland

小题3:Why are Japanese cellphone makers a little too clever?

A．Because their technical standards are too advanced to be accepted overseas.

B．Because they only produce advanced cellphones.

C．Because they used the second-generation network earlier than others.

D．Because their phones are more advanced than PCs.

小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Japanese cellphone companies are unsuccessful.

B．Japan has more cellphone users than the US.

C．Japanese cellphone industry intends to expand overseas markets.

D．Going global—a difficult task for Japanese companies.

In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.
Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L"Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L"Enfant then planned the city. The president"s home was an important part of the plan.
A contest was held to pick a design for the president"s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.
President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.
In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.
After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.

Harvard University is on the both sides of the Charles River. The oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short of money.

Harvard also has schools of business administration (1908), medicine (1782), public health (1922), and dental health ( 1941 ). Radcliffe College for women is connected with Harvard; its students are taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard.

President Barack Obama nominated (提名) Utah governor Jon Huntsman as ambassador (大使) to China on May 16.
Huntsman, 49, is the son of a Utah multimillionaire (千万富翁). He served as ambassador to Singapore under former president George H.W. Bush. In 2004, he became the governor of Utah and was elected for a second term in 2008.
The governor has strong ties to China: He lived in Taiwan when he was a teenager and speaks fluent Chinese. One of his daughters was adopted (收养) from China. His family also has business ties with China through Huntsman Corp, a chemical company. It has operations (动作) in the country including a factory in Shanghai.
Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise in both countries.
“Jon Huntsman is a well-regarded politician (政治家) in the US…… his experience as ambassador to Singapore and his knowledge of China, plus his wonderful Chinese language skills singled him out from the large number of candidates,” Dai Min, president of the US-based Center for America-China Partnership (中美合作中心), told China Daily.
Obama appointed Huntsman “in order to seek China’s help and cooperation” on several international and regional issues, said Yuan Peng, professor of American Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (中国现代国际关系研究院).
Some people say that President Obama’s decision to name John Huntsman is a well thought out political strategy. Huntsman is a big player in the Republican Party, and a possible presidential candidate for 2012. If he really has joined the Obama administration, he has lost that possibility. Now, when Obama kicks off his re-election campaign, “ambassador” Huntsman won’t be a threat.
64.The nomination of Huntsman won praise on both sides for the following reasons EXCEPT that _________.
A. he has business ties with China
B. he can speak Chinese fluently
C. he is a very experienced politician
D. he knows China very well
65.Which of the following facts about Huntsman is NOT true ?
A. He was once ambassador to Singapore.
B. He was elected governor of Utah twice.
C. He has served two presidents as governor.
D. He spent part of his youth in Taiwan.
66.From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ____________.
A. Obama considers China America’s top trade partner.
B. By choosing Huntsman, Obama kills two birds with one stone.
C. Huntsman will probably run for president in 2012.
D. Huntsman will settle several international and regional issues.
