These days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you’ll get laughed at. Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them. Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:

Surf at speed  

Cell phones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation（3G）networks that let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.

Listen as you go

The problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.

Say cheese

Camera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel（百万像素）. But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.

Portable TV

You say you like “watching TV”? That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes— for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940. The NEC model lets you watch public TV— no fee.

The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator... So what is there that a cell phone can’t do?

53. Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?

A. Samsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620.

B. Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940.

C. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940.

D. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Samsung’s SPH-V5400.

54. What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?

A. It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed.

B. It lets you watch public TV for free.

C. It can hold as many as 150 songs.

D. It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.

55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

B. It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near future.

C. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attention

D. an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphones

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was 36 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted（用尽的）battery. Nothing could be done but  38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the 39 of the rescue team.

It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41: “First of all I checked my 42 conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44. In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48. Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 49 team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing not far away.w

Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle 53. It seems to be a negative（消极的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great 55 in the first place.
