China’s telecommunications supervisor（管理者）has given long-awaited third-generation, or 3G mobile phone licenses to three mobile operators, a move that is expected to lead to billions of dollars being used in building new networks. As you know, 3G mobile phones are the next big step for the telecom industry and data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said China’s biggest mobile operator, China Mobile, was given a license for TD-SCDMA, the domestically-developed 3G standard.

Wang Jianzhou, President of China Mobile said the company had already started construction of new networks to cover all cities by 2011. “After our testing operation of the network which started from last April, we have seen that the new technology has developed into maturity（成熟）. By this June, we will finish the second stage of the network construction which covers 28 cities around the country.”

The other two main carriers, China Telecom and China Unicom, received respectively licenses for the 3G standards of U. S.-developed CDMA2000 and Europe’s WCDMA. Both the three operators expressed an active attitude on the future competition and cooperation in the field of 3G mobile.

The 3G high-speed networks can handle faster data downloads, allowing handset users to make video calls and watch TV programs.

Officials expect that there could be about 280 billion yuan, or about 40 billion dollars of direct investment in new networks over the next two years, an effective measure to boost（提高）the domestic（国内的）demand and perfect telecom market competition.

64. The 3G standard developed in China is ________.

A. SLEDMA      B. CDMA2000      C. TD - SCDMA      D. WCDMA

65. How soon will the new networks cover most parts of China?

A. In half a year.   B. In one year.       C. In two years.      D. In three years.

66. According to the president of China Mobile, ________.

A. 3G mobile phone has developed into maturity

B. the network construction has been finished

C. the network has covered 28 cities in China

D. the second stage of the network hasn’t started

67. Which of the following statements is true?

A. More and more companies will receive respectively licenses for the 3G standards.

B. With 3G high-speed networks, users can watch different programs at the same time.

C. Not all of the three operators thought well of the future competition of 3G mobile.

By today's standards, my mobile phone is pretty rubbish. It's a Nokia 1616. If that doesn't mean much to you (it's not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that it's a small, not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you can't find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema. Other than that, my phone doesn't do much. Well, it has an alarm, and it probably has a calculator and things like that, but it's nothing compared to a smartphone. Why would I want one of those?

I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that "you can do everything with them!"　 But when was the last time you saw someone doing "everything" with a smartphone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. I'm happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.

As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the Internet all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love the internet, but I just don't see the point of constantly being online. I can't remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I can't imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately.　 I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that.

One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is, in my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation (导航) systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time?! How do you get to know an area if you don't get lost there a few times? And if you are dependent on online maps, what happens to those great places you find just by chance? You can't exactly find out from Google maps the journey from "here" to" that hidden cafe with the　 tasty-looking cakes" , or to "that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening sun. " It is, of course, true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.

There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone, like the face that it cost me about twenty pounds, and that I don't have to worry too much about it being stolen .But the main benefit has to be the fact that it provides me with the word 'greatest excuse for my bad habits. Whether it's turning up late to events ,or getting lose on a trip ,or missing buses or trains ,or forgetting about an appointment at work ,I'm pretty sure I'm covered with the following explanation: “I’m really sorry, I don't have a smartphone."

1.The writer uses his Nokia 1616 mainly to _______.

A. play online games

B. do calculating work

C. check social network sites

D. make calls and text messages

2.It can be inferred from the above passage that_______.

A. work-related emails should be answered immediately

B. a laptop and a smartphone share many functions

C. smartphones should always be connected to the net

D. a Facebook update is usually very important

3.According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may _____

A. miss some really wonderful places

B. find a boring trip actually exciting

C. be persuaded to eat in a certain café

D. be misled to a totally wrong place

4.To the writer, one benefit of having a basic mobile phone is that__________.

A. it can remind him of important appointments

B. it can often be found back after it is stolen

C. it can be used as an excuse for his bad habits

D. it can save him the trouble of catching trains

5.The writer's purpose for writing this article is to_____.

A. explain why he doesn't want a smartphone

B. warn readers of the risks of using smartphones

C. complain about the troubles caused by smartphones

D. inform readers of the latest development of mobile phones

Do you suffer from cybersickness？

The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.

The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are . The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.

Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology（耳鼻喉科学） at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”

Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and determined—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

1.From the text, we know that cybersickness ______.

A. is completely equal to motion sickness

B. affects up to 80% of the population.

C. leads to people’s feelings of sickness and unsteadiness

D. is caused by seeing fast moving objects around

2.What’s the difference between motion sickness and digital sickness?

A. Digital sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

B. Digital sickness means sufferers feel movement but do not see it.

C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

D. Motion sickness means sufferers don’t see or feel movement

3.What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph mean?

A. likely to accept　　　　　　 　 B. likely to be affected

C. likely to suspect　　　　　 　 D. likely to be cured

4.This passage is most probably ____________.

A. a science fiction　　　　 B. a newspaper ad

C. a book review　　　　　　 　　 D. a science news report

The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions

British actor Richard Grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave

Judge Robert Restaino went considerably further．He was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone．

“Everyone is going to jail unless I get that instrument now,” he shouted．

Over the next two hours，the judge entered a period of “incredible madness”．He began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone．

When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants(被告) present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they  had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail(监狱).

All 46 of them．

When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone，Restaino replied：“I know it isn’t．

Fourteen of the defendants were shackled(束缚 )in irons and sent to the county jail．

The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46．

The “two hours of viral lunacy（疯狂）”, has probably cost Restaino his job．The commission ruled that he should be removed from his $14,000 job．Restaino now has 30 days to appeal(上诉)．
