【題目】

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn't it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China's Huawei both showed foldable phones, The Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the "foldable future", The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in unusual ways. These devices, due to their foldable screens, give us the larger screens we want. At the same time, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they're "the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device".

The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modern cities, they will help us to make full use of available space.

In a keynote speech, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen "the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow". "It's a piece of white paper for us to paint something beautiful on together," he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future?

According to technology news website Android Authority, the necessary displays* were difficult to produce. At present, these foldable devices cost too much. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.

But if the foldable device isn't going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, "Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom."

1Paragraphs 3 and 4 are mainly about _________.

A.arguments on the foldable screen.B.shapes of foldable screens in the future.

2What can we learn from Justin Denison's words?

【題目】

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a cafe or simply walking down the street.

I'm not saying that I am not an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. With the constant upgrade of technology we can now do practically anything on a device which can fit in the palm of our hands. But has it gone too far? Do we spend too much time on our mobiles and not enough time talking to people 'in real life'?

For example. I recently visited London and travelled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people asleep, almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see exactly what they are all doing. Of course, being underground it is difficult to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the internet, but there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music, and I am sure that as soon as they emerged from the train station they would start texting or calling or checking their emails. There is a constant connection to everyone in the world, as long as you have a mobile phone in your hand.

Recently, my smart phone broke and had to be sent off to the warehouse for repair for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was sending text messages, making calls and playing one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the internet, and I really didn't mind not having constant updates about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It was quite refreshing and it allowed me to spend more time taking in my surroundings-I could enjoy my time in London more, for example, and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.

However. I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back I would be one of those people once again, obsessed with finding out what everyone is doing and wasting my time playing games or checking social network sites. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back···

1What's the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To lead in the topic of using phones,B.To tell us where to use phones.

C.To interest us in phones.D.To tell us how many people are using phones.

2What can we know from the third paragraph?

A.People are trying to connect their friends on the tube.

B.The writer complains there's no signal on the tube.

C.People rely on their mobile phones too much.

D.We'd choose a proper place for texting or using the internet.

3What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A.The reasons why he liked to use his smart phone.

B.The advantages and disadvantages of an old, basic phone.

C.What he could do on his old, basic phone.

D.How the writer felt when he wasn't controlled by his smart phone.

4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Are mobile phones taking over our lives?B.Are smart phones more useful than old ones?

C.Talking to people face to face or on mobile phones?D.Sending text or talking on mobile phones?
