第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Yasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人) are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.
The iPad’s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyou. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”
James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are a key source of growth for them in the future.
Seniors make. up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.
1、The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A．a sudden attack
B．a heavy burden
C．very familiar
D．quite popular
2、Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?
A．It has intuitive interface.
B．It is easy to operate.
C．People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.
D．Beginners can use it without similar experiences.
3、What can we learn from the text?
A．The traditional customers of Apples products are usually the young.
B．People above thirty are Apples largest customer group in Japan.
C．Seniors will soon grow into Apples largest customer group.
D．Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．iPad influencing the customer group.
B．iPad leading Apple to seniors.
C．iPad’s arrival causing Japanese to think.
D．iPad beating the traditional PC．
22．（8分）For your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).
While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.
According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?
Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.
If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.
So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.
1、What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?
A．It is quite affordable.
B．It will be built in Russia.
C．It will offer an amazing view.
D．It costs $ 40 million to build.
2、What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．An orbital suite. B．Space tourism.
C．Space exploration. D．A creative idea.
3、What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space.
B．Visitors are required to take exercise each day.
C．Space travel is not possible without the Internet.
D．Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online.
4、The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with
A．fun and games B．financial support
C．space contractors D．more time in space
