Xiaomi introduced the SU7 at its technology conference in December 2023，saying it was capable of accelerating speeds faster than Tesla cars and Porsche EVs，with one version capable of hitting 100 kilometers per hour in 2.78 seconds.One version has a driving range of up to 800 kilometers，it added. The SU7's release comes when EV makers battle for sales in the world's largest auto market.Xiaomi will enter the competition as leading brands like BYD and Tesla are cutting prices sharply to attract consumers to buy their EVs in an oversupplied market. Analysts said the SU7's release will likely cut into Xiaomi's bottom line as marketing and other expenses rise.Xiaomi posted a net profit of 4.87 billion yuan ($677.9 million) in the third quarter，up 52% from the preceding quarter on the back of improved margins.The key thing to watch for the launch will be the price，specifically if it's below or above ￥ 200，000，Huatai Securities equity analyst Leping Huang said.The level serves as a classification benchmark for EVs in the same class as the SU7. Xiaomi may have some advantages over competitors since it is “already a very well­known brand and may be able to take advantage of existing distribution channels，” Morningstar equity analyst Dan Baker said，“but recent profit forecasts could well be negative.” [语篇导读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了小米发布了第一款电动汽车。 1．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

What kind of prosperity have we achieved so far? The widespread definition of prosperity focuses on economic power and growth as measures of success.Let's take a look at history.The Second Industrial Revolution enabled mass production and created a sufficient supply of goods.This has greatly increased the importance of money in its role as “a store of value” and “a medium of exchange”．As a result，we have pursued economic power as the only indicator of prosperity，such as GDP.Waves of globalization and technological evolution have promoted overall economic growth，but have allowed the few who are strong to achieve greater power while exploiting the many who are weak.Consequently，inequality has worsened，and disunity has intensified. The path to a truly prosperous world requires a shift in focus towards the most suitable happiness for all，in addition to economic power.Defining happiness，however，is a complex task.What makes people happy? The degree to which the same thing creates happiness differs from person to person.Happiness is subjective and complicated.This is a world of “multiple values” where each of us determines worth as opposed to “one fixed price” based merely on an economic perspective.Individuals shouldn't be defined by a single identity or role but by multidimensional nature as well as multiple roles making independent choices and taking actions for their happiness in different aspects. Businesses must be pioneers in pursuing not only economic growth but also the happiness of all citizens of society.Companies can contribute through the pursuit of social value as well as economic profit.At the heart of this lies “purpose”．A company's purpose defines the value it brings to society.The true worth of a company should be determined not just by the returns it creates for shareholders but by the value it creates for society as a whole. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个繁荣的世界应该用多种价值观来衡量，企业不仅要成为追求经济增长的先锋，还要成为追求全体社会公民幸福的先锋。 5．What is the author's attitude to the widely accepted standard of prosperity? A．Indifferent. B．Critical. C．Uncertain.

A．The slower economic growth speed. B．The sharp reduction of job opportunities. C．The enlarged gap between the rich and the poor. D．The increasing conflict between different nations. 解析　推理判断题。由第二段“Waves of globalization and technological evolution have promoted overall economic growth，but have allowed the few who are strong to achieve greater power while exploiting the many who are weak.Consequently，inequality has worsened，and disunity has intensified.”可知，技术进化的副作用是贫富差距的扩大。故选C。 答案　C 7．Which statement will the author agree with according to the passage? A．Happiness is changeable and beyond control. B.Happiness largely depends on economic power. C．The pursuit of profit determines a company's true worth.
