C
With smart phones taking the world by Storm,a phone that Can only send and receive voice
calls and text messages may seem like a relic from a bygone age.Yet in East Africa,simple
phones like these are changing the face of the economy,thanks to the mobile money services that are spreading across the region.
Usilng the text-messaging function built into the GSM system(全球通)used by most cell
phone networks,these services allow people without a bank account or credit card to use their
phone as an electronic walletthat can be used to store.send or receive cash.
It works like this:you pay cash to your local agent who then tops up your mobile money
account using a secure form of text messaging.That money can be transferred(轉(zhuǎn)賬)to another
person by sending a message to their cell phone account.
For some the system is a lifeline.“If I didn,t have my mobile phone.1 would be very
poor,”says Neyasse Neemur,a mother of four children who lives in northern Kenya.“Now I
can sell fish.”
Neemur took up fishing in July last year,but making money from it was a little tricky,
especially as Turkana people do not usually eat fish.A truck from Ethiopia to Tanzania passes
through her village once a week,and she arranged to have the driver transport the fish several
hundred kilometres south to market in Kisumu.where relatives sell the fish.
“I get the money transfer immediately.”says Neemur.“Then I can pay for my children to go to school and for vegetables and beans,”she adds,“so I don’t need to eat fish.”
According to the Central Bank of Kenya,payments worth around l billion Kenyan shillings
($13 million)per day were transferred through Kenya,s mobile money systems in 2009,equalling
the country,s credit card transactions(業(yè)務(wù)).The bank expects mobile money transfers to overtake credit cards in 2010.
49.In Paragraph l,the author uses“simple phones”to________.
A.make a comparison B.introduce a topic
C.describe a scene D.offer an argument
50.What can we learn about the simple phones in East Africa?
A.They might help the local people apply for a bank account.
B.They will replace the banks completely in the near future.
C.They provide a safe means for the locals to do business.
D.They can do nothing except send and receive calls or messages.
51.The word“it”in the third paragraph refers to_______.
A.the GSM system B.the mobile money service
C.the credit card service D.the cell phone networks
52.The story of Neyasse Neemur suggests that_______.
A.the mobile money service plays a key rote in the locals, life
B.Neemur uses her mobile phone to contact her customers
C。her relatives tricks Turkana people to eat the fish they sell

Researchers at Yale, Texas A&M and Boston University predict that by 2030 urban areas will expand by more than 463,000 square miles, or l.2 million square kilometers. That is equal to 20,000 American football fields becoming urban every day for the first three decades of this century.
The growth in urban areas will go with the construction of roads and buildings, water and sanitation facilities, and energy and transport systems that will transform land cover and cities globally. Recent estimates suggest that between $25 trillion(萬(wàn)億) and $30 trillion will be spent on infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) worldwide by 2030, with $100 billion a year in China alone.
"Considering the long life and near unavoidability of infrastructure investments, it will be critical for current urbanization-related policies to consider their lasting impacts," said Karen Seto, lead author of the study. "We have a huge opportunity to shape how cities develop and their environmental impacts."
Nearly half of the increase in high-probability ----defined as greater than 75 percent ---- urban expansion is forecasted to occur in Asia, with China and India absorbing 55 percent of the regional total. In China, urban- expansion is expected to create a l,l00-mile coastal urban corridor from Hangzhou to Shenyang. In India, urban expansion will be gathered around seven state capital cities, with large areas of low-probability growth forecasted for the Himalaya region where many small villages and towns currently exist.
Africa's urban land cover will grow the fastest, at 590 percent above the 2000 level of 16,000 square miles. Urban expansion win be concentrated in that continent's five regions: the Nile River in Egypt; the coast of West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea; the northern shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya and Uganda and extending into Rwanda and Burundi; the Kano region in northern Nigeria; and greater Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
"Urban expansion is concentrated in. only a few areas where there are large cities and industry," said Seto. "From the northern shore of Lake Victoria down to Rwanda is also a major hotspot of urban expansion."
In North America, where 78 percent of the total population lives in urban areas, urban land cover will nearly double by 96,000 square miles by 2030.The study also forecasts that 48 of the 221 countries in the study will experience insignificant amounts of urban expansion. "
【小題1】As for China, the expansion of urban area means .
A.$ 100 billion will be spent on infrastructure a year |
B.creating a coastal urban corridor from Hangzhou to Qingdao |
C.it will become the fastest developing country in the next decade |
D.it will make up 55% of the increase in urban expansion in Asia |
A.construction of roads | B.sanitation facilities |
C.energy systems | D.land cover transformation |
A.the development of cities | B.urbanization-related policies |
