Mozilla has shown off a prototype(雏形) for a $25 (£15) smart phone that is aimed at the developing world.
The company, which is famed mostly for its Firefox browser(浏览器), has partnered with the Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum.
While not as powerful as more expensive models, the phone will run apps and make use of mobile internet.
It would appeal to the sorts of people who currently buy cheap “feature” phones, analysts said.
Feature phones are highly popular in the developing world as a halfway point between “dumb” phones --- just voice calls and other basic functions --- and fully-developed smart phones.
Mozilla hopes that it will take an early lead in a market that is now being targeted by mobile phone producers who see the developing world as the remaining area for massive growth.
It will face fierce competition from bigger, more popular brands, however --- with more announcements of this kind expected over the course of the next couple of days at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
“These solutions expand the global accessibility of open web smart phones to first-time and entry-level smart phone buyers by reducing the time and cost required for handset makers to bring these phones to market,” said Spreadtrum in a press statement.
Mozilla said the phone “redefines”(重新定义) the entry-level phone market.
The concept of a cheap smart phone may seem likely to appeal to consumers in developed countries, particularly those who locked into long contracts in order to pay part of the cost of the likes of the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy range.
But analyst Carolina Milanesi, from Kantar World panel, said it should not be seen as a competitor.
1.Which of the following is true about the $25 smart phone?
A. It has all the functions of an iPhone.
B. It is specially designed for the developed world.
C. It will attract the present “feature” phone users.
D. It is made by the Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum.
2.What is the feature of a “feature” phone?
A. Though cheap, it can completely replace the iPhone.
B. It is just used for voice calls and other basic functions.
C. It has nearly all the functions of a fully-developed smart phone.
D. Its functions are between those of a “dumb” phone and a fully-developed smart phone.
3.We can learn from the text that at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona ________.
A. new cheap smart phones will beat high-end ones
B. the $25 smart phone coming from Mozilla will be the best seller
C. quite a few companies will announce their new cheap smart phones
D. Mozilla will be the only company to announce its new cheap smart phone
4.Which of the following held a negative attitude towards the cheap smart phone?
A. Mozilla. B. Spreadtrum.
C. Samsung. D. Carolina Milanesi.
Elephants are able to differentiate between ethnicities(种族) and sexes, and can tell an adult from a child --- all from the sound of a human voice.
This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.
The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men.
Livestock-herding Masai people do come into conflict with elephants, and this suggests that animals have adapted to specifically listen for and avoid them.
The study is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Prof Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in previous research they had used similar playback experiments to show that elephants could tell --- from the sound of a lion’s roar --- whether the animal was a female or a more dangerous male.
Prof McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to identify a potential danger from humans.
The scientists recorded Masai men, women and children saying, in their own language, “Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming”.
They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.
While cattle-herding Masai people often come across free-ranging elephants, which can result in violent conflict, the Kamba people’s more agricultural lifestyle does not generally bring them into aggressive touch with the animals.
When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden loudspeaker, they found that elephant family groups reacted more fearfully in response to the voice of a Masai man, than to a Kamba man’s voice.
And the adult male Masai voices encouraged far more of these defensive reactions than the voices of women or boys.
1.An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of ________.
A. touch B. sight C. smell D. hearing
2.How did the researchers get to know the elephants’ special ability of identification?
A. By observing the elephants in the zoo.
B. By playing voice recordings to them.
C. By recording the behaviours of elephants.
D. By communicating with them in a special way.
3.We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of ________.
A. Masai men B. Masai women
C. Kamba men D. Kamba women
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Elephants and human beings
B. Differences between human voices
C. Elephants recognise human voices
D. Elephants conflict with human beings
