题型:不详难度:来源:
Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8. The computers that use the XP system are not as safe as before.
The "demise" of Windows XP will have the greatest influence on China because it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world. Microsoft"s decision to "kill" Windows XP, a product with hundreds of millions of users, has a certain purpose to show its strong position in the operating system market.

At the same time, the "death" of XP has created opportunities for China"s IT companies to grow and develop.
In fact, shortly after Microsoft announced the “demise” of XP,some Chinese IT security(安全)providers were willing to offer safe solutions for XP users who do not change into a new system.
Information security is crucial for the IT companies, and the key to safeguarding information is the core technology, which very much depends on innovation(革新).
Although China has some well-known IT companies, it still does not have the core technology to develop an operating system. Many people are always complaining about and criticizing.  Therefore, only by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation can China break the monopoly(垄断)of international IT giants and protect the internet security.
小题1:根据短文内容完成句子填空。(每空限填一个单词)。
From the first paragraph of the passage, we know Microsoft has __________ __________ providing service for Windows XP.
小题2:根据短文内容完成句子填空。(每空限填一个单词)。

小题3:根据短文内容回答问题。
According to the passage, how can China break the monopoly of international IT giants and protect the internet security?
小题4:把短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

_______________________________________________________________________________
答案

小题1:given up
小题2:300 million
小题3:Only by having information technology and policy that encourages innovation.
小题4:事实上,在微软宣布停用XP之后,中国IT安全软件供应商很快就愿意为没有换新系统的XP用户提供安全措施。
小题5:The “demise” of Windows XP has influenced China/ Chinese IT companies.
解析

试题分析:这篇短文主要讲述的是今年4月8号起,微软公司停止向全世界的用户提供Windows XP的服务,这对中国有很大的影响,因为中国使用XP的用户占了全世界微软用户的70%。但是中国的安全软件供应商已经做出回应,愿意给那些没有更换新系统的用户提供安全措施。只有通过信息技术,鼓励革新,中国才能打破国际互联网巨头的垄断。
小题1:根据短文第一句话Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8可知,从4月8号起,微软公司已经停止了提供Windows XP服务。由此可知,这里我们应该用give up放弃,即停止做某事了。
小题2:根据短文第二段中The "demise" of Windows XP will have the greatest influence on China because it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world可知,在中国,Windows XP的用户有2亿1千万,占世界市场的70%,由此我们可以计算,在世界上Windows XP的用户是大约3亿。故填300 million。
小题3:根据短文的最后部分Therefore, only by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation can China break the monopoly(垄断)of international IT giants and protect the internet security可知,只有通过拥有信息技术和鼓励革新中国才能打破IT巨头的垄断,保护互联网的安全。
小题4:in fact 是一个固定的短语,意思是事实上,实际上;shortly after在……之后不久;be willing to do sth.愿意去做某事;句中who do not change into a new system 是一个定语从句,修饰名词XP users。
小题5:这篇短文主要讲述的是今年4月8号起,微软公司停止向全世界的用户提供Windows XP的服务,这对中国有很大的影响,因为中国使用XP的用户占了全世界微软用户的70%。但是中国的安全软件供应商已经做出回应,愿意给那些没有更换新系统的用户提供安全措施。

Since January 2013, many cities in China have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾). What’s the difference between fog and smog?
According to scientists, fog is made up of tiny (微小的) drops of water and also ice particles (颗粒) during very cold conditions. Smog is dirty air that looks like a mixture of smoke and fog, caused mainly by smoke from cars and factories in cities.
An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the main problem with air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to pollution with small particles 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter (直径).
According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two main factors that cause PM 2.5 are motor vehicles and the burning of coal.
Poor air has done harm to people’s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Children’s Hospital shows that from January 5 to January 11, 2013, half of the patients in the hospital came for respiratory (呼吸道的) problems.
To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action.
Beijing announced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration. They suggested that cars with large emissions (排放) should be banned and factories should be closely watched.
Three students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise to fight the air pollution. “We hope more people will join us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,” said Shi Yucong, 15, one of the three students.
小题1:The underlined phrase “were free of” means ____________.

It’s duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. If the man is too lazy to work, he will usually become a not useful man. Everyone, when he is young, should learn some useful work.

信息归纳(本部分为5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There were no modern machines, either. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills fish and affects(影响) our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and louder. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It affects every living thing in the world.
The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid(避免) a serious worldwide water shortage later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. But even if we purified(净化) and reused the water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do is to make use of the vast reserves(储备) of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
Paper comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
