A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.

“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That’s right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”

Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised...”

Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”

These days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you’ll get laughed at. Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them. Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:

Surf at speed

    Cell phones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.

Listen as you go

The problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.

Say cheese

Camera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel (百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.

Portable TV

You say you like “watching TV”? That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes — for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940. The NEC model lets you watch public TV — no fee.

The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator ... So what is there that a cell phone can’t do?

68. Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?

A. Samsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620.

B. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Samsung’s SPH-V5400.

C. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940.

D. Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940.

69. What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?

A. It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed.

B. It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.

C. It can hold as many as 150 songs.

D. It lets you watch public TV for free.

70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely new.

B. Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.

C. It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near future.

D. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer.

71. This passage may be ________.

A. an introduction to some new models of cellphones

B. an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphones

C. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attention

D. a survey to find the development of cellphones

Dear Xiao Ming

    Glad to write to you! Last time I told you that I wanted to be a volunteer in the 2010 Shanghai Expo.

A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline. And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.

46. Which of the following about the FCX is not true?

A. It may be the most expensive car in the world.

B. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.

C. It releases dangerous gases to pollute the air.

47. According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?

A. Gases from FCX.                           B. Water vapor from cars.

A. works by water                       B. has a history for over two hundred years

C. works by electricity                 D. has been widely used since the 1800s

49. We can infer from the passage that ______.
