27、   Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season.

“Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money or buy at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology."

Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group's latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. "Here in 2012, $252 on average the technology spend for consumers this year.”

From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. "It's kind of hard to make a decision."

Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products. He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apple's biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199.

“Its hardware is more powerful than what's in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple's maps.

But Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. "If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don't really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest robust group of apps（应用软件）that's where the iPad and Apple's ecosystem shines the most.”

Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through WiFi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera.“You can literally take a picture and upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things."

Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smart phones, laptops and tablets.

【1】According to Brian Tong, why may people prefer the iPad Mini to the Google Nexus 7?

A. Because it is cheaper.

B. Because it has more functions.

C. Because you can read books and surf the Internet with it.

D. Because it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple's maps.

【2】What does "Its hardware" in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The hardware of tablet computers. B. The hardware of the Apple iPad.

C. The hardware of the Google Nexus. D. The hardware of the iPad Mini

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. people will spend most of their money on electronics.

B. photos can be uploaded from the camera when connected to a computer.

C. streaming media box is a box which can contain CD.

D. Most people would like to buy electronics as gifts.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Electronics: People's Most Favorite Gifts this year

B. Which is More Popular, the Apple iPad Mini or the Google Nexus 7?

C. Latest Technology Products

D. Mo re Electronics to Choose from

28、   Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learned was so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.

The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.

I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.

The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!

I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.

【1】What do we know about fika?

A.It is a waste of time. B.It is a way to balance life and work.

C.It is all about drinking coffee. D.It is a Swedish social tradition.

【2】What does the author think of Swedish people?

A.They are friendly. B.They seem a bit cold.

C.They appear really rude. D.They are interested in other's life.

【3】Why does the author like walking?

A.It is fun and not very tiring. B.It is good exercise on cold days.

C.It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D.It gives her the chance to eat the local food.

【4】What's the author's advice for students going abroad?

A.Be confident. B.Be careful.

C.Be open- minded. D.Be hard- working.

29、I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos（商标） in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one﹣it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald's, Apple, and Mercedes Benz own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.

Nike

In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for﹩35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.

McDonald's

The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped （拱形的） signs on the side of the company's then walk﹣up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968.

Apple

There are different stories behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's "rainbow apple", a rainbow﹣colored silhouette （轮廓） of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow﹣colored apple was replaced by the one﹣colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.

Mercedes Benz

The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three﹣pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz Cie and DMG in 1926.

【1】What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?

A．They are boring.

B．They are attractive.

C．They are out of date.

D．They are practical.

【2】We can learn that Apple's present logo is ___.

A．a bitten apple with only one color

B．Newton's sitting under an apple tree

C．the religious story of Adam and Eve

D．the rainbow﹣colored bitten apple

【3】Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?

A．Nike ﹣ McDonald's ﹣ Apple ﹣ Mercedes Benz．

B．Mercedes Benz ﹣ Apple ﹣ Nike ﹣ McDonald's．

C．Mercedes Benz ﹣ McDonald's ﹣ Nike ﹣ Apple．

D．Nike ﹣ Mercedes Benz ﹣ McDonald's ﹣ Apple．

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.

Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for  protection  from  his  creditors  via  bankruptcy,  and  with  the  help  of  Henry  Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.

Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the  “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of  American literature”.
