In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt this way.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”
Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.
31. How many kinds of smartphones are mentioned in total in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

D. Huawei has developed its business smoothly.
33. What does the underlined word “romantic” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 浪漫的 B. 现实的 C. 成功的 D. 麻烦的
34. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. Huawei has become one of the most famous phone companies.
B. Huawei has become the largest maker of smartphones in the world.
C. Huawei has got into some systems of the US.
D. Huawei is full of hope and must succeed in the future.

“I spent my whole life doing one thing,” Gu Fangzhou once said. Known as “the father of sugar pills (糖丸)”, Gu passed away on January 2, 2019. Eight months later, he received a national honorary-title (荣誉称号) “the People’s Scientist” for his polio (脊髓灰质炎) research.
Gu Fangzhou, a famous medical scientist, was born in June, 1926. Gu’s family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father. He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944. After graduation, Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955 polio broke out in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1,680 people, mostly children aged below seven. It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths. Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. “At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine (疫苗),” said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the “sugar-coated pill” vaccine in the early 1960s. It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep. To test the vaccine, Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. “If we don’t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?” said Gu.
Gradually, the sugar-coated polio vaccine was made available in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids, from being disabled. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China was already a polio-free country. “We feel satisfied. I can tell people that I tried my best, and your kids will no longer get polio,” said Gu. “That’s all we hoped for. ”
35. What was Gu Fangzhou’s age when he passed away?
A. About 89. B. About 93. C. About 95. D. About 96.
36. Who were the first group of people to try a polio vaccine in China?
① Gu Fangzhou himself.
② Gu Fangzhou’s partners’ kids.
③ Gu Fangzhou’s parents.
④ Gu Fangzhou’s son.
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④
37. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A. Gu got married in his twenties.
B. Gu entered Peking University to study medicine in 1944.
C. Since 2000, China has become a polio-free country.
D. Gu received a national honorary-title “the People’s Scientist” after his death.
38. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage？

B. To report an important medical invention.
C. To introduce a great medical scientist.
D. To show Chinese polio vaccine to the world.

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision blurry (视力模糊的), 16-year-old Tian Ting went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately,” Tian said.
In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.
To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements (要求) for school supplies (供应品) and equipments that will take effect (生效) on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point.
