廉价智能手机的崛起

<p>　　2015复习正是强化复习阶段，在考研英语中占了40分，所以考研英语阅读是英语科目中重要的一项。名师老师曾建议过考研生需要坚持每天泛读10-15分钟的英文原刊。强烈推荐了杂志《经济学人》.杂志中的文章也是考研英语的主要材料来源.希望考研考生认真阅读，快速提高考研英语阅读水平。　　<span word="Mobile">Mobile</span> <span

互联网数据中心的弗朗西斯科杰洛尼摩称，去年，价格低于80美元的智能机的出货量是上一年的五倍还多;100美元以下的手机占总量的六分之一。　　<span word="At">At</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="global">global</span> <span word="level">level</span>, <span
