Below is an introduction to iPhone 12, which may help you know more about the latest phone and enjoy a better experience of purchase in our store.
Outlook
Featuring the same 6.1-inch display size as the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR before it, iPhone 12 is making the transition from an LCD screen to OLED. With flat aluminum(铝) sides for an overall look, it more closely matches the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Aside from the flat sides, iPhone 12 still largely resembles the iPhone 11. Around back, it has two cameras housed in a glass circle, which makes for a nice contrast with the rest of the smooth back panel. To avoid being broken or cracked when dropped, iPhone 12 is covered with what Apple describes as a “ceramic(陶瓷) shield”.
Camera
The iPhone 12 has a 12-megapixel f/1.6 main camera—the fastest aperture(光圈) in any iPhone yet. The low-light performance has improved, and its advancements in computational photography to maximize detail and dynamic range has also been achieved. The front camera on the iPhone 12 is gaining Night Mode, as well.
Processor
iPhone 12 is powered by the company’s new A14 Bionic processor, which is the first smartphone chip built on a 5nm process, leading to improved performance and efficiency. It’s claimed that the processor is up to 50 percent faster than the leading chips in Android smartphones.

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view ofwater on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
24. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section
A. To save customers times.
C. To help sell junk food.
B. To show they are high quality foods.
D. To sell them at discount prices.
25. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
26. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.
C
For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work Is it effective
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around.
To develop responsible, self-disciplined(自律的)kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in(努力投入)and helps in your family, even if someone is not crazy about helping. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause(our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), and when parents are cheerful about their chores ，this message can have a big impact．
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily(临时)perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front ofthem．
“Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior, at least in the way we want, ”said AIfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out. ’’Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them---a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards．
28. According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment,__________.
A. they may lose interest in their work.
C. they may change to another person.
B. they may appear to be well-behaved.
D. the results will be worse than usual.
29. What can we know from Paragraph 3
A. Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop．
B. Children should be responsible for their discipline．
C. Children should help build a good family atmosphere．
D. No children will adapt to society without their parents’ help．
30. The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to__________.
A. rewards B. aims C. apologies D. doubts
31. According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should__________.
A. pay no attention to the way their children do things.
B. show their children how to behave by example.
C. never punish their children.
D. help their children establish good values.
D
Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.
The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”
Smell which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% ofthe human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1, 000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.
According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.
In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers' impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.
However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.
32. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out
A. The category of food smells.
C. The logical part of human brain.
33. Which of the following can help people concentrate
B. The nature of human olfactory system.
D. The relationship between food and feelings.
A. Coffee. B. Fruits. C. Bread. D. Fast food.
34. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.
B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.
C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.
D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. Logic and behavior.
C. Sense ability and food tastes.
第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分， 满分 10 分)
B. Olfactory genes and its system.
D. Smell and its influence.
根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone wants love, money, success and so on in life. Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason. Generally speaking, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following simple steps.
You have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes. 36 If you’re not sure about where you want to go, you’d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.
37 This will be your map for getting from “where you are now” to “where you want to go”. You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you want a better job, start with a skill assessment and maybe some extra training. You’ll need to sell yourself and your skills to your new employer.
Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost and you don’t know how to get there.
38 For reading is a valuable source of inspirations.
The final step is to carry it out. 39 Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.
40 Keep trying. Whatever you do，do not lose heart before you have what you desire in your hands. Never think that you can’t turn your dream into a reality.
A. Do what you have planned.
B. Hold a right attitude to what you’ve achieved.
C. Never give up the goal.
D. Try to focus on one thing at a time.
E. Not to worry, though, books can be of great help.
F. Make an action plan with care.
G. Form a good habit, whatever the result may be.
