Question

【題目】Phone Folds in Half

Is it possible to fold（折疊）your phone screen? We probably didn't think about it a few years ago. Huawei's newest phone, the Mate X, is foldable. You can fold it in half as if you are closing a book. But what makes the Mate X different is that it is folded from the outside.

The Mate X is both a phone and a tablet（平板電腦）. When folded, it works as a phone. When unfolded, it can be used as a tablet. The phone is very thin. When opened, it is 5.4 mm thick, and when closed, it is just 11 mm.

The Mate X supports 5G, which means users can download a whole movie in just a few seconds. But users can only take selfies（自拍照）when the phone is folded. That's because the phone doesn't have a front camera. You have to turn over and use the rear camera instead.

With the growth of the economic level, there is more and more demand（需求）for the function（功能）of smart phones. The smart phone market is always changing very fast！Can the Mate X take the lead? “It will take years to make the consumers believe that foldable phones can bring them benefits and a better experience,” said Jusy Hong, an analyst（分析者）at IHS Markit, a market research firm.

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了華為公司推出了新款手機(jī)Mate X——是一部可以像合一本書一樣的可折疊手機(jī)，MateX既是一部手機(jī)也是一部平板電腦，機(jī)體很薄。文章指出MateX要想贏得消費(fèi)者的喜愛，占領(lǐng)手機(jī)市場(chǎng)的先機(jī)，可能還需要幾年的時(shí)間。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干意為：MateX的特別之處是什么？A項(xiàng)：它看起來(lái)很��；B項(xiàng)：它可以折疊；C項(xiàng)：它支持5G；D項(xiàng)：它可以拍自拍照。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“But what makes the Mate X different is that it is folded from the outside.”可知，它可以從外部折疊。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干意為：當(dāng)MateX合上的時(shí)候有多厚？A項(xiàng)：5毫米；B項(xiàng)：5. 4毫米；C項(xiàng)：11毫米；D項(xiàng)：11. 5毫米。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“When opened, it is 5. 4 mm thick, and when closed, it is just 11mm.”可知折疊的時(shí)候它是11毫米。故選C。

【3】詞句猜測(cè)題。題干意為：文章中的畫線單詞“rear”是什么意思？A項(xiàng)：前面的；B項(xiàng)：中間的；C項(xiàng)：上面的；D項(xiàng)：后面的。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句的前兩句“But users can only take selfies when the phone is folded. That's because the phone doesn't have a front camera.”中的關(guān)鍵詞“take selfies”和“front”可以猜測(cè)出rear的意思應(yīng)是“后面的”，因此其同義詞應(yīng)是back。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。題干意為：從最后一段中我們能知道什么？A項(xiàng)：目前，選擇MateX的消費(fèi)者還不是很多；B項(xiàng)：華為的最新手機(jī)Mate X即將推出；C項(xiàng)：Mate X已被大多數(shù)消費(fèi)者所接受；D項(xiàng)：消費(fèi)者對(duì)智能手機(jī)沒有需求。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“‘It will take years to make the consumers believe that foldable phones can bring them benefits and a better experience,’ said Jusy Hong, an analyst at IHS Markit, a market research firm.”可知消費(fèi)者還會(huì)需要幾年的時(shí)間來(lái)接受可折疊手機(jī)，也就是說(shuō)現(xiàn)在買MateX的消費(fèi)者還不是太多。故選A。
