    NEW YORK—Microsoft on Monday made another effort to challenge Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android in the exploding smartphone market—launching a wireless operating system，Windows Phone 7.
    Consumers will consider it“always delightful and thoroughly mine，”Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a launch event. Ballmer said last year that Microsoft had“screwed up”with its Windows Mobile operating system.For example，it failed to keep up with touch-screen innovations that make iPhones and Android phones easy to use.
    Microsoft fell from third to fourth place in market share this year，behind BlackBerry，iPhone and Android. Only 10.8% of smartphone owners used Microsoft’s system in August，down from 18% last December.
    But Windows Phone 7 is“a total departure from anything they’ve done”.Microsoft says it sought to simplify common activities. For example，you can instantly take a picture with a phone’s camera by pushing a button on the device. You don’t have to first awaken it from its sleep mode and launch the camera application. You also can program the phones to automatically upload photos to Facebook or other social network sites in a couple of seconds. Users can easily work with Microsoft Office contact and calendar information as well as documents created in Microsoft’s Word，Excel and PowerPoint.
    The phones will not show videos built on Adobe’s Flash platform，widely used by services including YouTube and Hulu.
    AT&T will offer the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone，the Samsung Focus，on Nov.8.Soon after，it will have the LG Quantum and HTC Surround. Each will cost S|  199.99 with a two-year service contract. T-Mobile will have two Windows Phone 7 models out for the holiday shopping season：the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. It did not say how much they’ll cost.
    小题1:What is the main idea of paragraph 4？
    A．Why Microsoft fell behind others.
    B．How to use Windows Phone7.
    C．Advantages of Windows phone7.
    D．Speed of Windows phone7.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase“screwed up”in the 2nd paragraph probably mean？
    A．To make a bad mistake.B．To make big progress.
    C．To achieve main goals.D．To keep up with others.
    小题3:Which of the following phones will NOT use Windows Phone 7 operating system？
    A．Quantum.B．Surround.C．Android.D．Focus.
    小题4:Why did Microsoft see a drop in market share last year？
    A．Because its operating system didn’t catch up with changes.
    B．Because its phones can’t show videos from YouTube.
    C．Because it was inconvenient to take photos using its phones.
    D．Because its system was based only on Microsoft soft wares.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？
    A．Smartphone Market Welcomes New Giant
    B．Microsoft to Fight Back on Smartphone
    C．Mobile Phones Getting Smarter and Easier
    D．Microsoft Proved a Failure in Smartphone

    The unimaginable earthquake in Haiti has shocked the world. Thanks to modern communication technology, the world has seen the scale of destruction by the 7.0- magnitude quake. Images on TV and the Internet show the Haiti capital has been reduced to rubble and helpless survivors waiting for relief.
    So far, at least 50,000 people are feared dead, and tens of thousands left injured or homeless in one of the poorest countries in the West. The number of dead is rising with each passing hour for a few days. Considering Haiti’s total population is only about 8.5 million, the extent of damage will reach every field of the country’s social structures.
    Rescuers from countries such as China, the United States, France and Dominican Republic have already reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food and medicines, life-detecting devices and other rescue equipment. Politicians，workers and Hollywood actors have opened their wallets and called for donations to help disaster relief. The whole world is ready to help them. The world is a village today where no one can remain indifferent when a neighbor falls in disaster.
    The suffering of people anywhere in the world strikes the hearts of Chinese people. The death of eight Chinese peacekeepers in Haiti has little to do with it. Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because just less than 20 months ago they were struggling to rise from the earthquake.
    Though Beijing and Port-au-Prince have no diplomatic relations, China was among the first nations to send a rescue team and to announce a donation. In the face of natural disasters, respect for human lives overtakes diplomacy and national boundaries. We share the pain of the Haitian people, and we believe China’s experience in rescue and operations and reconstructions will help reduce that pain.
    The most pressing task after a quake is the golden-hour rescue operation. Many Haitians are buried under rubble, and relentless efforts must be made to save as many of them as possible. Yet there remains a question on how effectively the flows of aid from around the world be managed. It is here that the UN can play the leading role, for it should be responsible for common humanitarian efforts from across the globe to reach the benefits to the maximum number of people.
    After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Asia, some experts said the UN needed to build a well-equipped and trained force disaster rescue specialists and keep it on standby to help people after natural disasters such as the Haiti quake. It is time the UN gave the idea a serious thought, for a life-saving force could play as important as its peacekeeping soldiers.
    60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A.The number of Haiti’s total population is about 8.5 billion
    B.Rescuers from many countries have reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food, water and medicines.
    C.Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because we have the same experiences.
    D.The flows of aid from the world has been managed well.
    61.The word “indifferent” underlined in the third paragraph most probably means ______.
    A.cruel         B.friendly        C.cold         D.warm
    62. We can infer that people around the world actively help the Haitians because ______.
    A.people among countries have close relations
    B.earthquake is a natural disaster, people respect human lives, and show common feelings to people in trouble
    C.people should be responsible
    D.people have ever been rescued by Haitians
    63.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A.The UN plays an important role
    B.We are with you, Haiti
    C.People share the pain with the Haitian people
    D.Modern communication technology is used widely

    TOKYO —Imagine a bicycle seat connected by mechanical frames(机械支架) to a pair of shoes for an idea of how the new wearable assisted-walking machine from Honda works．
    The experimental machine, showed on Friday, is designed to support bodyweight, reduce stress on the knees and help people organize steps and stay in crouching（蹲坐） positions．Honda showed a video of its employees wearing the machine.

    Chinese reports say the country’s vast pool of cheap labor is getting smaller, which could hurt an economy that heavily depends on labor-intensive manufacturing.
    The academy’s research shows that China’s rural labor surplus, the source of migrant workers for the country’s factories, is about 50 million people—far less than the previously estimated 150 to 200 million.
    Jonathan Unger, director of the Contemporary China Center at the Australian National University, says fewer rural residents are willing to leave their farms today. This is partly because there are more employment opportunities in rural areas, and because agricultural prices have gone up.
    “And at the same time taxes in the countryside, fees in the countryside have gone down because of new sets of government policies,” he explained. “So people are not eagerly forced in the way they were five, six years ago to leave the farm in order to earn enough money for their families.”
    The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says another reason for the reduced labor pool is the country’s population policy, which allows city residents to have just one child, and farmers up to two if the first one is a girl.
    A UN study predicts that China’s workforce will reach its top in 2015 and then gradually drop. Some of China’s major manufacturing areas, such as Guangdong Province, already face labor shortages.
    Some economists think these shortages are, at least for now, a regional rather than a national problem. Sun Mingchun, an economist with investment bank Lehman Brothers in Hong Kong, points out that there are still millions of people in China who can not find work.
    57. According to the academy’s research, China’ rural labor surplus today is about _______.
    A. 150 million      B. 50 million      C. 200 million      D. 175 million
    58. The reason why many rural residents don’t leave their farms today is ________.
    A. the farmers are older than before.
    B. the farmers are lazier than before
    C. the farmers have much more money
    D. there are more employment opportunities and agricultural prices have gone up
    59. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?
    A. A study of UN estimates China’s workforce will come to the top in 2015.
    B. No a study shows millions of people can’t find work in China.
    C. The country’s population policy isn’t a reason for the reduced labor.
    D. Five years ago, few farmers left their homes to earn money for supporting their families.
    60. According to some economists, the shortage of Chinese workforce __________.
    A. is a national problem                     B. is a regional problem
    C. is not a problem                         D. can be solved easily
