Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

We all know that panic-stricken moment. You drop your mobile phone, frightened, as it drops towards the floor, fearing it will land screen-side down — with shattering results.

But now Apple plans to spare you that worry, with an invention that will stop your iPhone hitting the ground face first.

The technology giant was granted a patent last week on an invention that can detect when a phone is falling and ensure the screen doesn ’t hit the ground. The idea could also work with iPads and other devices.

Apple ’s design features on-board sensors that measure the speed at which the phone is falling and predict when it will land and which side of the phone will hit the floor.

If sensors calculate the screen or camera will hit the ground, a motor in the phone is caused to start working instantly. The motor then affects other parts of the device, making it turn quickly around a central point as it falls, so that it lands on a hard area. The effect is similar to how a falling cat always manages to land on its feet.

What ’s more, the patent even includes a system that would avoid damage to the connector.

Victor Seidel, a lecturer in science entrepreneurship at Oxford University, said, “This does what a lot of successful new approaches do: combine ideas in a way others had not considered. But integrating this idea into current slimline designs may be a challenge. Of course, no one will really know the possible benefits and limitations until Apple gets products into the hands of users — hands that are indeed sometimes clumsy.”

Industry insiders say an iPhone featuring the new technology may appear within three years.

11. What does Apple plan to do?

A) Recall mobile phones with broken screens. B) Invent a new way of protecting the phone.

C) Design a new type of smart phone. D) Produce new products in other fields.

12. We can know from the passage that ___________.

A) the patent will prevent the phone falling

B) the patent will make the screen more solid

C) the sensors can measure the phone ’s falling speed

D) the camera on the phone will record the falling process
