2．BEIJING-Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple's iPhone．The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled （發(fā)布） a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner，lighter and much cheaper．The phone starts at 2，299 yuan （＄375），less than half the 5，288 yuan（＄865）price of an iPhone 6 in China．
Xiaomi，founded in 2010，passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co．in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold．The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe．
Xiaomi"is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following"in China，said analyst Brian Blair，who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities．Apple is still a relatively small player in China，selling about 45 million iPhones there last year，Blair estimates，but will continue to grow．
"Apple is very much a premium （高端的） brand，"said Blair．"The company that's more at risk is Samsung，which has been losing share in that market．"
Privately held （私人控股的） Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61.1 million phones and revenue （收益） more than doubled to 74.3 billion yuan （＄12.2 billion）．The company，based in Beijing，recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at ＄45 billion，making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands．
Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents．
In a blog post earlier this month，Lei called the case a"rite of passage"（成年禮） for a young company．

B．Compared to Xiaomi，Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter．

D．The company is expanding into the United States or Europe．

A．More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year．
B．Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China．
C．He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple．
D．Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market．
（3）How is the 5th paragraph developed？

3．In 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt．Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like．He took a picture，and the mystery Daniel（神秘）the Yeti-a Sherpa word for"wild man"一cast a spell over the world．Danile Taylor，author of Yeti：The Ecology of a Mystery，has been searching for signs of this"Abominable Snowman"in the high Himalayas since he was a child．
Talking from his home in West Virginia，Taylor explains what he thinks made that humanlike footprint，how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park，and why，in an age where we have become disconnected from nature，we have a deep need to believe in mysteries．
The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951．
The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier，west of Mount Everest，on the Nepal-Tibet border．Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints．Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers，so if he is bringing back a print，it is a real print．Nobody ever questioned that．But what is it？Human，a King Kong type we expect them to give us．
What was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp．The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster（石膏）．The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint，but with a thumb．So，you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time．Its enormous size-13 inches-also suggests a large of image!
Many expeditions（探險隊）were sent out in search of the Yeti，a brief timeline．
（1）Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt．Everest？
A．To explore it．
B．To take photos．
C．To work as a guide．
D．To look for the Yeti．
（2）What can we know about Daniel Taylor？
A．He took a photo of the human-likefootprint．
B．He is devoted to the exploration ofMt．Everest．
C．He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti．
D．He thinks people should have belief in mysteries．
（3）Which word can be used to describe the Yeti according to the text？
A．Sharp．
B．Creative．
C．Huge．
D．Fierce．
（4）What is the author's attitude toward the search for the Yeti？
A．He thinks nothing．
B．He thinks it is a waste of time．
C．He is eager to know the result．
D．He doubts the effort of explorers．組卷：1引用：1難度：0.7
