A smartphone is a phone that combines (合并) things like a phone, clock, camera and computer into one small device. It can make calls like a phone, but it can also access the Internet. Using the Internet, smartphones can play music, take pictures and videos, and check the weather in cities all around the world. But how did the age of smartphones begin?

In 1992, the company IBM created the first smartphone. It was a phone that included a program for writing notes to remember things. It also had a program for showing people dates and times of planned events. This early smartphone could send emails as well. However, this phone never became very popular. For one thing, it was too expensive for many people.

Other companies then started to work on new phone technology. Companies such as Nokia and Ericsson next introduced their smartphones to the market. In fact, it was the Ericsson company that created the word "smartphone" in 1997. However, these smartphones also achieved little success.

In 1999, the Blackberry was introduced. This was the first smartphone that was widely used by phone users. The Blackberry was a phone with a keyboard that made it easy to use the Internet and send text messages and emails. The Blackberry was popular with people working in business or in technology. But common phone users still didn't buy many of them.

In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone. Not long after that, in 2008, Google introduced the Android phone to the world. These new smartphones from Apple and Google were marketed to all phone users. The goal was to make the smartphone easy to use and something everyone would want. Just as hoped, less than 10 years later, there were over 2 billion smartphone users. Not only is it safe to say that smartphones are taking over the world, but there will soon be a time when people can't remember when phones only made calls.

(   )4. What does the underlined word "access" probably mean in the passage?

A.Connect to.   B. Take in.   C. Check out.   

(   )5. Which is NOT the advantage of the first smartphone?

A.It helped people remember things by writing notes with a program.

B.It could show people dates and times of planned events.

C.It didn't cost people too much.

(   )6. Which company invented the word "smartphone"?

A.Nokia. B. Ericsson. C. Blackberry.

(   )7. What is the passage mainly about?

A.The inventors of smartphones.

B.The development of smartphones.

C.The popularity of smartphones.

When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I preferred. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At the same time, my father described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I’ve often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that?

The mere exposure effect (纯粹接触效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.

But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners.

Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.

8．Which of the following charts correctly shows “the mere exposure effect”? (Preference: 偏爱，Level of familiarity: 熟悉度)

    

     A.                 B.                    C.

 

9．Why do many older people dislike new music?

①Because the new music sounds terrible.

②Because they are afraid of noise.

③Because most new music is not written for them.

④Because they are not familiar with the new music.

A．①② B．②③ C．③④ 

10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．New music will become more popular with older people.

B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music.

C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music.

11．What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Why don’t Your Parents Like the Music You Like?

B．What's the Real Meaning of the Mere Exposure Effect?

C．When do Most Young People Stop Exploring New Music?
