2、 Jun Lei said is comparable to Apples 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 Koreas Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as
3、 the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold.

4、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 thats more at risk is Sam
5、sung, which has been losing share in that market.Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last years 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
6、it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the worlds most valuable technology brands.Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Swedens LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.In a blog post earlier thi

10、nly once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary(任意的、武断的) circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.It h
11、appened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job
12、 so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about ha
13、lf past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and h
14、e was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.“But what for?” I asked.“Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence.” he said.“What offence?” I asked.“Theft.” he said.“Theft of what?” I a
15、sked.“Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!“Oh,” I said.It turned out there had been a lot of petty（小规模的）thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps. Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded
16、 myself as part of the sixties “youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?” in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of s
17、ituation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable（品行不端的）character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.“Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and dont move them.”They got in on either side of me. It wasnt funny any more.At t
18、he police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them Id been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, “unemployed”.Eventually, I was officially charged and told to
19、 report to Richmond Magistrates Court the following Monday. Then they let me go. I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher f
20、rom school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didnt get that far. The magistrate（法官）dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.And s
21、o I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the “right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure natu
22、re of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyers case quite obviously revolved（回转）around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic
23、record”.Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. “You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully（责备地）.What did he mean? P
24、robably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who youre talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!” Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my
25、 way.51. The first man who came up to him was _.A. a uniformed policeman B. a policeman in plainclothesC. not a policeman D. a good joker52. The court never asked the authors English teacher to give evidence because _.A. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes onlyB. the author wanted
26、to conduct his own defense in courtC. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stageD. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness53. The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if _.A. the magistrate had been less gentle B. he had really been out
27、of workC. he had been born in a lower class family D. both B and C54. In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if _.A. he had protested strongly at the time B. he had begged to be allowed to go homeC. he hadnt wandered aimlessly D. h
28、e had tried to look cool55. We can see from the passage that the author _.A. has broken the law only onceB. has never broken the lawC. has broken the law on more than one occasionD. once broke the law without knowing itC Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many fr
29、ee things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.All of Londons major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of Londonwhere you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love thewhich shows English domesti
30、c interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.I regularly hear people tell me theQueen Marys Rose Gardens in Regents Parkis their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. Jamess Park as it offers one of the best views of. Hyde Park is
31、 enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playgroundand the. No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queens Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates ofBuckingham Palaceat 11.30am every day in the summer and ev
32、ery other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.Trafalgar Square is one of Britains greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including and theNation
33、al Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous , to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis.21.

B . advertise some free places in London.C. recommend some free places in London. D. expose some free places in London.D Love to sink into you
36、r chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons!
37、Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.Among them are educators from the College Station Independent Scho
38、ol District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.All 25 teachers involve
39、d in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact
40、 that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen simi
41、lar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europes first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and stu
42、dents, have been extremely encouraging.The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.32.

43、e first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _.A. they have to exchange desks with each otherB. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seatsC. there are no seats for them to sit in classD. the officials show no sympathy to them at all33.
