27、00)六、Bpassage 1/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Motorola Inc., the worlds second-largest mobile phone maker, will begin selling all of the technology needed to build a basic mobile phone to outside manufacturers, in a key change of strategy. The inventor of the cell phone, which has been troubled by missteps compo
28、unded by a recent industry slump in sales, is trying to become a neutral provider of mobile technology to rivals, with an eye toward fostering a much larger market than it could create itself. The Chicago area-based company, considered to have the widest range of technologies needed to build a phone
29、, said it planned to make available chips, a design layout for the computer board, software, development tools and testing tools. Motorola has previously supplied mobile phone manufacturers with a couple of its chips, but this is the first time the company will offer its entire line of chips as well
30、 as a detailed blueprint. Mobile phones contain a variety of chips and components to control power, sound and amplification. Analysts said they liked the new strategy but were cautious about whether Motorolas mobile phone competitors would want to buy the technology from a rival.The company, long kn
31、own for its top-notch (等级) engineering culture, is hoping to profit from its mobile phone technology now that the basic technology to build a mobile phone has largely become a commodity. Motorola said it will begin offering the technology based on the next-generation GPRS (Global Packet Radio Servic
32、e) standard because most mobile phone makers already have technology in place for current digital phones. GPRS offers faster access to data through “always on“ network connections, and customers are charged only for the information they retrieve, rather than the length of download.Burgess said the n
33、ew business will not conflict with Motorolas own mobile phone business because the latter will remain competitive by offering advanced features and designs. Motorolas phones have been criticized as being too complicated and expensive to manufacture, but Burgess said Motorola will simplify the techno
34、logy in the phones by a third. In addition to basic technology, Burgess said, Motorola would also offer additional features such as Bluetooth, a technology that allows wireless communications at a short distance, and Global Positioning System, which tracks the users whereabouts, and MP3 audio capabi

39、passage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Hurricanes are violent storms that cause millions of dollars in property damage and take many lives. They can be extremely dangerous, and too often people underestimate their fury.Hurricanes normally originate as a small area of thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean west o
40、f the Cape Verde Islands during August or September. For several days, the area of the storm increases and the air pressure falls slowly. A center of low pressure forms, and winds begin to whirl around it. It is blown westward, increasing in size and strength.Hurricane hunters then fly out to the st
41、orm in order to determine its size and intensity and to track its direction. They drop instruments for recording temperature, air pressure,and humidity (湿度), into the storm. They also look at the size of waves on the ocean, theclouds, and the eye of the storm. The eye is a region of relative calm an
42、d clear skies in the center of the hurricane. People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived, only to be caught in tremendous winds again when the eye has passed.Once the forecasters have determined that it is likely the hurricane will reach shore,they issue a hurricane wa
43、tch for a large, general area that may be in the path of the storm.Later, when the probable point of landfall is clearer, they will issue a hurricane warning for a somewhat more limited area. People in these areas are wise to stock up on nonperishable foods, flash light and radio batteries, candles,
44、 and other items they may need if electricity and water are not available after the storm. They should also try to hurricane-proof their houses by bringing in light-weight furniture and other items from outside and covering windows. People living in low-lying areas are wise to evacuate their houses
45、because of the storm surge, which is a large rush of water that may come ashore with the storm. Hurricanes generally lose power slowly while traveling over land, but many move out to sea,gather up force again, and return to land. As they move toward the north, they generally lose their identity as h
46、urricanes（分数：10.00）(1).The eye of the hurricane is _.

47、rease in wind velocity. B.A hurricane watch is more serious than a hurricane warning. C.Falling air pressure is an indicator that the storm is increasing in intensity. D.It is safe to go outside once the eye has arrived.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? _. A.How to Avoid Hurricane Damage B.
