Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points) Section A

Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished

statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Researchers analysed the diet of 16,000 people in 52 countries and identified three global eating patterns. The typical Western diet, high in fat, salt and meat, accounted for about 30% of heart attack risk in any population. A \diet, high in tofu, soy and other sauces, made no difference to heart attack risk.

People who ate a Western diet had a 35 % greater risk of having a heart attack than those who ate little or no fried. The typical Western diet has been widely linked to heart disease. High salt in the diet can raise blood pressure and the wrong type of fat can clog(阻塞) blood vessels. Ellen Mason, a cardiac nurse for the British Heart Foundation, said: \or Bombay, or whether you like to eat British, African Caribbean or Asian foods. The vital thing is to reduce your intake of salty, fried, fatty food to a minimum but increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat. \

(21) Which of the following was NOT one of the three global eating patterns? A. A Western diet. B. A \ C. An Oriental diet. D. A popular diet.

(22) In what way does the typical Western diet do harm to our health? A. It makes people eat little or no foods and meat. B. It is high in salt without fried foods and meat.

C. It can block blood vessels with the wrong type of fat. D. It leads to the connection between foods and heart attack.

(23) What is the most important message the writer intends to get across in terms of keeping a

healthy diet?

A. Try to eat more British foods and vegetables. B. Eat less fruit and fewer vegetables.

C. Try to eat more African Caribbean foods.

D. Eat less salt and fat but more fruit and vegetables.

Passage Two

Before Moko the dolphin turned up, the beached whales were in clear distress. But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, their mood changed and they followed him to safety.

The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What's less well documented, however, is the communication between species. Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project, said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way. \instructions like ?Hey, buddy, the open ocean is over here. Follow me, ’\

Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphins-whistles, clicking and postures. A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin, just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically allow a form of basic interspecies communication. But just as it's possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal, it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it.

There are many reasons why different species communicate, says Vincent Janik, lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew's University. \

own benefits. Sometimes the benefits are the same for each, therefore they share information. Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other. Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food. \

(24) What happened after Moko the dolphin appeared at Mahia beach？ A. The beached whales still felt distressful. B. Moko led the whales back to the sea. C. The whales were still stuck on the beach. D. Moko and the whales swam together ashore.

(25) Scientists engaged in animal studies have collected 。 A. enough data on how animals speak human languages B. none of the data on animals' ability to communicate C. less data on how animals communicate between species D. some data on animals' tendency to talk to humans

(26) Dolphins communicate with one another, using all the following types of signaling

EXCEPT 。

A. gestures B. whistles C. clicking D. postures

(27) The whales stranded on the beach followed the dolphin to safety probably because 。 A. they understood the dolphin's instruction \ B. they had signals in common with one another C. they recognized some other animals not far away

D. they shared those inter-species signals with the dolphin

(28) Why do animals of different species communicate with one an-other? A. Because they like to set up their own communication systems. B. Because they want to take advantage of the other species. C. Because they tend to keep more food to themselves.

D. Because they benefit from using the information from other species.

Passage Three

Competition breeds excellence. Ask anyone who pays attention to the car industry and they will tell you that the family-sedan segment is just brutal, with manufacturers fighting tooth and nail over every sale. In fact, that market has become more competitive in recent years. It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy, but now you have new (Hyundai) and old (Ford) competitors, among others, joining the fight with interesting, well-made, compelling products. It's a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan.

Compare that with the state of the tablet market today. Hewlett-Packard is in retreat. Research in Motion is in a holding pattern. Motorola has been sold and its tablet is now an afterthought. Samsung fights the good fight, but it trails Apple's market share by 50 percentage points.

Apple is not just ahead of the pack, it almost is the pack. Now, some would say that this is also a simple result of economic laws at work.：Apple makes a superior product, therefore it gets most of the sales. But what would be really great is that, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and H. P. , locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy, are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace, and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip.

Apple is driving innovation and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases. But this isn't

about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet. This isn't about picking sides. As a consumer, I want there to be robust competition across the board. I want Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizmodo.

If you're a fan of Apple, you want there to be a worthy rival to push it, to keep its feet to the fire. If you don't like Apple, you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesn't suck all the air out of the room. And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot-scorching to its competitor that another company would do to it.

(29) The phrase \ . A. competing fiercely with one another

B. beating one another with their tooth and nail

C. extremely careful about the family-sedan segment D. paying more attention to their tooth and nail

(30) Why is it a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan? A. Because competition is more interesting and compelling. B. Because Hyundai and Ford are joining the competition.

C. Because customers have enough quality cars to choose from. D. Because the Camry and the Accord are competing for supremacy.

(31) What are the tablet makers strategically doing, facing the brutal competition? A. Developing new products and reducing prices. B. Analyzing the results of the economic laws. C. Adapting to the furious pace of development.

D. Providing best possible services for their products.

(32) The author brings in the pairs of \

Gizmodo\ .

A. a comparison B. a contrast

C. an abstraction D. an exemplification

(33) What does the phrase \ A. To place Apple's feet close to the fire.

B. To pressure Apple into intensifying its competition. C. To force Apple to dance hard on the fire.

D. To advise Apple to strategically drop its side products.

(34) Why does the author start with the car industry before he focuses on tablet market? A. Because he treats the car industry as the key point for his writing. B. Because the car industry is more important than tablet market.

C. Because he uses the car analogy for a more effective argumentation. D. Because the model of the car is far more popular in the market.

Passage Four

So what are books good for？My best answer is that books produce knowledge by encasing it. Books take ideas and set them down, transforming them through the limitations of space into thinking usable by others. In 1959, C.P. Snow threw down the challenge of \pursuing their separate, unconnected lives within developed societies. In the new-media ecology of the 21st century, we may not have closed that gap, but the two cultures of the contemporary world are the culture of data and the culture of narrative. Narrative is rarely collective. It isn't infinitely expandable.

Narrative has a shape and a temporality, and it ends, just as our lives do. Books tell stories. Scholarly books tell scholarly stories.

Storytelling is central to the work of the narrative-driven disciplines-the humanities and the nonquantitative social sciences--and it is central to the communicative pleasures of reading. Even argument is a form of narrative. Different kinds of books are, of course, good for different things. Some should be created only for download and occasional access, as in the case of most reference projects, which these days are born digital or at least given dual passports. But scholarly writing requires narrative fortitude, on the part of writer and reader. There is nothing wiki about the last set of Cambridge University Press monographs (专著) I purchased, and in each I encounter an individual speaking subject.

Each single-author book is immensely particular, a story told as only one storyteller could recount it. Scholarship is a collagist (拼贴画家), building the next road map of what we know book by book.Stories end, and that, I think, is a very good thing. A single authorial voice is a kind of performance, with an audience of one at a time, and no performance should outstay its welcome. Because a book must end, it must have a shape, the arc of thought that demonstrates not only the writer's command of her or his subject but also that writer's respect for the reader. A book is its own set of bookends.

Even if a book is published in digital form, freed from its materiality, that shaping case of the codex (古书的抄本) is the ghost in the knowledge-machine. We are the case for books. Our bodies hold the capacity to generate thousands of ideas, perhaps even a couple of fulllength monographs, and maybe a trade book or two. If we can get them right, books are luminous versions of our ideas, bound by narrative structure so that others can encounter those better, smarter versions of us on the page or screen. Books make the case for us, for the identity of the individual as an embodiment of thinking in the world. The heart of what even scholars do is the endless task of making that world visible again and again by telling stories, complicated and subtle stories that reshape us daily so that new forms of knowledge can shine out. (35) According to the author, the narrative culture is .

A. connectable B. infinitely expandable C. collective D. nonquantitative

(36) Storytelling can be regarded as the essence of all the following EXCEPT . A. the humanities B. the reference books C. the social sciences D. the pleasures of reading

(37) What does the phrase \ A. Nothing casual about. B. Nothing stimulating about. C. Nothing referential about. D. Nothing controversial about.

(38) Why is each single-author book immensely particular according to the passage? A. Because it enriches and restructures our knowledge in its own way. B. Because it puts together the particular stories we need. C. Because it tells single-handedly how we should perform.

D. Because it helps to make the map for our travel in particular places. (39) We may think highly of a writer if his or her work helps A. to haunt us like a ghost in the knowledge-machine B. to publish books in a narrative structure C. to review a book on the page or screen

D. to illuminate us in a new form of knowledge

(40) Why does the writer think that even argument is a form of narrative? A. Because it can be accessed and downloaded anywhere anytime. B. Because it is born digital or it might have dual passports.

C. Because it has the limitation of time both for the writer and the reader. D. Because it will remain a better and smarter version for us on the page.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The

blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

“Years ago，a friend of mine observed that 80 percent of the people in this country have too much self—esteem and 20 percent have much too little．That struck me as pretty accurate，but psychologists will tell you that self—esteem is not a constant．People?s appraisal of their own worth varies．．．．I have the impression that more people have unstable self—esteem than before．I say this because some of the traditional standards people used to measure their own worth have eroded(middle class respectability)，whereas more people now seem to measure themselves against celebrities and superstars．It would be interesting to know if anybody has studied changes in the criteria we use to measure self-worth．”

Comment 1：

You bring up an interesting point because I do believe values and beliefs have changed．It would be very interesting to see the criteria used for self—worth．I find it hard to believe that only 20％of people have low self-esteem．I?ve been following Brene Brown?s thoughts on the subject of self-worth，and low self—worth(on some level)seems much more common．

Comment 2：

If the quality of one?s self—esteem is going to be judged by comparisons with those who are celebrities and superstars，then the entire exercise is really pointless．

Comment 3：

Self—esteem solution：A happy marriage．

Comment 4：

Ego(self—worth)is proportionate to wealth．The more wealth, the more self-worth.

Comment 5 :

Benjamin Franklin said it best, and it applies to all facets of life. \rich just as discontent will make a rich man poor. \richest. It simply means once you've done your best be content with yourself, just as if you don't give your best effort discontent is sure to follow.

Comment 6 :

I've \

much probably motivated by trying to \satisfying.

Comment 7 :

A related concept you may be interested in is the \Mark Leary (Wake Forest). Basically it states that our self-esteem is determined by the amount of perceived social acceptance/rejection, and that determination is full of cognitive biases and errors. Awesome stuff.

(41) The main idea of the quoted blog is that .

A. most people in the country have too much self-esteem B. it is urgent to help those who have too little self-esteem

C. the criteria for people to measure their self-worth are changing D. the traditional standards make people feel unstable

(42) Among all the comments, which of the following choices brings in authoritative sources in their discussion?

A. Comment 1 and Comment 2. B. Comment 3 and Comment 5. C. Comment 1 and Comment 7. D. Comment 4 and Comment 6.

(43) What all the commentators try to respond to in their writing is . A. the respect for the traditional values B. the standards of self-worth measurement C. marriage, celebrities and social activities D. ego, contentment and social judgment

(44) Why does the writer of Comment 5 try to clarify Benjamin Franklin's saying? A. Because Franklin's saying is universally applicable.

B. Because contentment means \ C. Because if you do your best, you will be the richest.

D. Because misunderstandings might occur of Franklin's saying.

(45) What is the writer's attitude toward the \ A. Affirmative. B. Objective. C. Detached. D. Negative.

Directions : In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose is the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Teachers using red pen to mark students' work could be harming their psyche as the color is too aggressive, according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government.

The \Mental Health Rocks\kit, which was distributed this month to about 30 schools in Queensland state, offers strategies such as \different color. \

Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day, apologizing to students when necessary and asking students to conduct a \skills audit\where they focus on their individual strengths rather than their weaknesses.

The kit, designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health in the classroom, suggests that social and emotional wellbeing has been linked to young people's schooling, among other things.

The education aid has sparked a row in parliament, with deputy opposition leader Mark McArdle calling it \

But Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department devised the kit, said youth suicide was a serious issue.

Passage Two

If you start each day desperately wishing for an extra hour in bed, the following is likely to leave you feeling even more bad-tempered. Scientists have identified a \elite\--a small group of people for whom a lie-in is a waste of time.

Rather than being tired, bad-tempered under-achievers, they are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of shut-eye a night.

If that were not irritating enough, they tend to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time，and breeze through their extra-long days without needing caffeine pick-me-ups(咖啡因提神物)or cat naps．

Working out how the gene cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could help in the design of drugs that give US all a few extra hours in our day．

The bad news is that while many of US get by on a few hours? sleep a night，just one to three people in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite．

The research team is now appealing for members of the lucky group to come forward to allow their DNA to be studied．

University of California researcher Ying—Hui Fu said：“My long—term goal is to someday learn enough so we can manipulate the sleep pathways without damaging our health．Everybody can use more waking hours，even if you just watch movies．”

Many of those who have already volunteered share fascinating characteristics．They are thinner than average，relentlessly upbeat(兴奋)and seem to have a high tolerance for physical pain and psycho—logical set—backs．

Researcher Dr．Christopher Jones told the Wall Street Journal：“Typically，at the end of a long—structured phone interview，they will admit they have been texting and surfing the Internet and doing cross—word puzzles at the same time，all on less than six hours of sleep．” (27)Which of the following could be the title of this passage?

Most people think women are more affected when a relationship hits a rocky patch. According to a new study on over 1,000 break-ups, it is the opposite.

The research also showed how differently men and women dealt with problems. Women show their feelings more by crying and talking about how they feel. Men find this hard to do because they need to be \Simon said the more relation-ship problems a guy went through, the more likely he was to become dependent on alcohol or drugs.

Directions: In this section, you are required to read several excerpts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed by four questions or unfinished statements, each with

four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Excerpt 1 .

Sales of e-readers surged during the Christmas holiday season, according to a Pew Research Center report, which showed that the number of adults in the United States who owned tablets nearly doubled from mid-December to early January.

Excerpt 2 :

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, controls 73 percent of the market, while Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. are among companies making constant improvements on tablets without bringing services that cut into the market share, Sarah Rot-man Epps, an analyst at Forrester, said in the report. Excerpt 3 :

Under Square's year-long pilot program, an iPad would be in-stalled in the space where Taxi TVs currently sit, and the driver would have an iPhone to process credit-card payments. The technology would allow drivers to accept a passenger's card at any point during the ride, then enter the amount later. The system charges drivers less in credit card transaction fees than the current rates. Excerpt 4 :

When Apple introduced the iPad tablet computer in 2010, it was doing what it likes to do best. creating a new category to dominate, as it had done with the iPod and iPhone. By the end of the year, the company had sold nearly 15 million iPads, generating about $ 9. 5 billion in revenue.

Just two years later, the chief executive of Apple, Timothy D.Cook, has a prediction, the day will come when tablet devices like the Apple iPad outsell traditional personal computers. Excerpt 5 :

Apple has made its first attempt to quantify how many Ameriran jobs can be credited to the sale of its iPads and other products, a group that includes the Apple engineers who design the devices and the drivers who deliver them--even the people who build the trucks that get them there.

On Friday, the company published the results of a study it commissioned saying that it had \American job market goes far beyond the 47,000 people it directly employs here. Excerpt 6 :

People who read e-books on tablets like the iPad are realizing that while a book on a black-and-white Kindle is straightforward and immersive, a tablet offers a menu of distractions that can fragment the reading experience, or stop it in its tracks.

E-mail lurks tantalizingly within reach. Looking up a tricky word or unknown fact in the book is easily accomplished through a quick Google search. And if a book starts to drag, giving up on it to stream a movie over Netflix or scroll through your Twitter feed is only a few taps away.

(42) What is said about Apple Inc. with its tablet devices like iPads? A. It doubled its sale of e-readers during the Christmas season. B. It controls 73 percent of the tablet device market.

A. its rivals succeeding in cutting into the market share B. failing to process credit-card payments with an iPhone C. e-book readers being distracted from their normal reading D. misleading the trucks that get them to the tablet market

Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points) Section A

Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B. C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Childhood exposure to a group of chemicals, which are used widely in a variety of products, including water-resistant clothing and microwave popcorn, could reduce the effectiveness of common vaccines, a new study has found.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston looked at over 580 children and found that those who had higher concentrations of these perfluorinated (全氟化的)compounds (PFCs) in their blood had lower immune responses to diphtheria(白喉) and tetanus(破伤风) vaccinations.

An insufficient immune response to a vaccine can mean a child is actually vulnerable to catching

a disease even though they have been vaccinated against it, the researchers said.

\we take our kids to the doctor's office to get their shots, we expect that the vaccines are going to work. What we found was that there was an increasing risk that they didn't work if the kids had been exposed to the PFCs,\(21) What makes the children's common vaccines less effective ac-cording to the new study? A. The exposure of chemicals they used in childhood. B. The reduction of a series of chemicals in childhood~ C. Childhood consumption of chemical products. D. Childhood contact with chemical products.

(22) The Harvard School of Public Health experts found that there was relation between concentrations of chemical deposits in blood and immunity. A. no direct B. an unilateral

C. a direct D. an unpredictable

(23) The word \ 3) is closest in meaning to“ . ” A. difficult to be affected B. impossible to be affected C. possible to be affected D. easy to be affected

(24) The increasing risk of low immunity which children face is caused by . A. their exposure to chemicals

B. their refusal of getting shots of vaccines C. the doctors' irresponsibility D. the poor quality of vaccines

Passage Two

In our society, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses or stand in football match queues, we are likely to have conversations in which we give information or opinions, and sometimes have our views challenged by other members of society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things above others have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, photography, and so on. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communications industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing， broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with their informing, educating and entertaining functions.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

(25) The author probably means that speech on a person-to-person basis is the means of communication.

A. primary B. secondary C. auxiliary D. optional

26) According to Paragraph 2, with the rapid communication speed, .

A. local and national news reach people at the same time B. national news reaches people even faster than local news C. local news reaches people faster than national news

D. two factors make the face-to-face contact the only form of communication 27) The word \ \ . \ A. limited B. confirmed C. related D. concealed

28) According to Paragraph 4, which of the following is NOT what modern communication does? A. Influencing people's mode of life. B. Transmitting information. C. Broadening people's horizons.

D. Keeping people interested in industries.

(29) The last paragraph implies that the mass media as the vast modern network of communications is likely to face or have more .

A. criticisms B. praises

C. condemnations D. opportunities

Passage Three

Recruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task. Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And, as every HR manager knows, it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to employ them.

The HR manager's first decision is whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company. Internal applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail or newsletter. Further-more, they are easy to assess and know the company well. However, they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position. Moreover, a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the company.

Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly, it has to decide where to place the advertisement. Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular. The decision normally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management positions in national papers or professional journals, while the Internet is one of the best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. How-ever, with the Internet there is a risk of receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world.

An agency can be either a commercial business or a government employment center. A company often uses a government agency to recruit blue-collar workers but normally prefers a commercial agency for its white-collar staff. However, a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are

less likely to stay with the company for a long time.

(30) The central idea of the first paragraph is that . A. finding the right job applicant to fill a vacancy is never easy

B. removing an undesirable employer is more difficult than hiring him

C. personal problems can come up if the manager employs a wrong candidate D. every HR manager knows the troubles and expenses of recruitment (31) The advantage of internal recruitment is that . A. it is easy for the company to evaluate the internal applicants

Passage Four

This month is expected to see that seminal (有创意的) moment when digital cinema will outstrip the 35mm technology that has been the dominant projection format in movie theatres for over 120 years. In 2009, digital accounted for only 15% of global screens. But the movie Avatar changed all that.

3D movies required digital, and Avatar's phenomenal success with 3D pushed cinemas to adopt digital screens. IMS Screen Digest Cinema Intelligence Service estimates that by the end of 2012, digital will account for 63% of screens, and by 2015, 83 %.

A majority of those screens will be based on Texas Instruments' digital light processing (DLP) technology, a technology that uses millions of tiny mirrors on a tiny chip, each of them capable of moving thousands of times per second to create a digital image. That same technology today is also beginning to be used in cellphones and digital cameras to project images in those devices onto ordinary surfaces.

That will be a bigger opportunity, says Kent Novak, Texas Instruments' senior VP for DLP products, who was in Bangalore recently.

Cinemas are moving rapidly to digital screens. Why?

The first digital movie was premiered(首演) in 1999. Initially it was thought moving to digital would give better picture quality and cost savings, but it took many years for a few systems to get

deployed. And then Avatar happened. That was really the tipping point. In 2008,15 3D movies were released; in 2009, it was close to 50. Theatres were able to get more people and get a higher price for the ticket, so it became a significant revenue generator. We have seen more conversion of film to digital in the last two years than in the previous ten.

You are now bringing the technology to smaller devices.

We are moving to put these chips into cellphones, digital still cameras, camcorders, laptop accessories, tablets, docking stations, media players. We've been hearing of pico (handheld) projectors for some time now. But we don't really see products in the market. The technology has only recently reached a tipping point in terms of lighting efficiency and total brightness. Three years ago, 1 watt of power could get the brightness measurement of about 5 lumens. Today that 1 watt can give 20 lumens (making the projected image brighter). We designed the chip to be more efficient. Also, the industry driver for efficiency is LED. The amount of investment going into LED is enormous. As technology has improved, volumes have gone up, and cost has come down. Micromax and Spice in India have put projection even in some of their feature phones~ Samsung has put projection on some of their phones. Nikon has DLP embedded in some of their digital still cameras, Sony has them in camcorders. What are the use cases that you see?

You can use your phone to show video clips, pictures, power point presentations, and make it a shared experience. India has been more progressive in adopting the technology because feature phones are a phone during the day and become the primary entertainment source in the evenings. India also has mobile TV phones with pre-loaded Bollywood movies that can be projected out of the phone.(35) The word \ “ .”

A. take off B. outlive C. surround D. surpass

36) The success of the 3D movie Avatar brought a(n) in- crease in the digital global screens. A. limited B. subtle C. ambiguous D. dramatic

37) What makes the digital screens possible, according to the passage? A. Digital light processing technology.

B. Use of millions of tiny mirrors on the chip.

C. The chip capable of moving thousands of times per second. D. The American movie entitled Avatar made in Hollywood.

38) Why are cinemas moving rapidly into digital screens according to the author? A. Because digital screens can bring owners of cinemas much more profits. B. Because owners of cinemas are in favor of new high technology devices. C. Because digital screens can give film viewers a better picture quality. D. Because more and more 3D films like Avatar are released in recent years. (39) The word \ . ” A. adventure B. income C. ventilation D. motion

Japanese businesses are divided into two main categories. The first is that \the major corporations that work closely with the Minis-try of International Trade and Industry. These large Japanese corporations employ approximately one third of the Japanese work force. Approximately 30 percent of Japanese firms are in this category. The second category, comprising 70 percent of Japanese firms, is that of smaller businesses employing the other two thirds of the work force. Smaller companies often have ties to the large companies and do subcontracting work. Companies in the second category do not offer
