Question

【题目】The smartphone company Xiaomi Technology was set up in Beijing in 2010. Now it has become one of China’s leading mobile phone companies. Some people skip work and school to wait in line to buy its main product: Mi phones.

The man behind this craze is Lei Jun. The 49-year-old is the co-founder and CEO of Xiaomi.

Lei was born in Xiantao, Hubei, in 1969. At the age of 18, he entered Wuhan University to study computer science. A book that he read there changed his life. It was Fire In the Valley, which tells the story of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Encouraged by the book, the 21-year-old set up a company. But it soon failed because he lacked(缺乏) a long-term plan.

After graduation(毕业), Lei joined Kingsoft, a software company. In 16 years, he became one of the top IT company leaders. But that’s not the only thing he wanted. “I had my dream not realized and it was calling me every night,” said Lei. At the age of 38, he left Kingsoft and started his own company.

Lei is a big fan of the iPhone. But instead of creating a copy of it, he kept thinking about how to make it better.

这篇短文给我们讲述的是小米科技的联合创始人—雷军的故事，雷军在大学时受到一本书的 影响，创立了一家公司，但最后失败了。大学毕业后他进入了金山软件，逐渐成长为IT行业的领导者。在38岁的时候，雷军离开了金山软件，创立了自己的公司。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Encouraged by the book, the 21-year-old set up a company. But it soon failed because he lacked(缺乏) a long-term plan.可知，雷军创立的第一家公司失败了，是因为它缺乏一个长期的计划。由此可知应选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Encouraged by the book, the 21-year-old set up a company.可知，雷军在21岁的时候创立了第一家公司；再根据上文Lei was born in Xiantao, Hubei, in 1969.可知，雷军出生在1969年，计算可知，他21岁的时候是1990年，故应选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据短文中Lei is a big fan of the iPhone. But instead of creating a copy of it, he kept thinking about how to make it better.可知，雷军是苹果手机的粉丝，但是他并没有复制苹果手机，而是一直在想如何把它做得更好。由此可推断，小米手机是一个有创新的智能手机，故应选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第三段和第四段的内容可知，雷军大学毕业后加入了金山软件公司；在他38岁的时候，离开了金山软件，创立了自己的公司；在41岁的时候，联合创办了小米科技。由此可知顺序正确的是A。

【5】推理判断题。这篇短文给我们讲述了小米科技的联合创始人—雷军的故事，从他的故事中我们可以知道，在他的心里一直有一个梦想，在他在金山软件的16年里，他已经成为了IT行业的领导者，但是他心里的梦想却督促着继续前进，所以最后他创立了自己的公司。因此C选项“有我们自己的梦想”这个题目最符合文章的意思，故选C。
