If you are unhappy with China's high Internet fees and slow speed，you are not alone. So is Premier Li Keqiang. On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.

“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there Wi ­fi？' because Internet service fees are too high，”said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost of 1 GB mobile Internet data per month in China is 100 yuan, while it is only 60 yuan in the US and 40 yuan in Japan. However，high prices don't necessarily mean good service .The average Internet speed in China was 4.25 Mbps(兆比特每秒)in late 2014.North Korea had the fastest average Internet speed—25.3 Mbps .People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in North Korea，but in China it would take half an hour.

To improve Internet services，the key is to build more fiber(光纤)networks，which offer high speed Internet. Through them we can send texts, pictures and videos globally in less than a second. Besides, the lack of market competition is another problem. Having more operators(运营商)besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices.

1.Why do people always ask for Wi ­fi at a new place in China?

A. Because they can't use Internet without Wi ­fi.

B. Because they can communicate with their families.

C. Because they want to download movies.

D. Because Internet service fees are too high.

2.In late 2014，________had the fastest average Internet speed.

A. China　　 B. the USA

C. Japan　　 D. North Korea

3.What is the key to improve Internet services?

A. To increase Internet service fees.

B. To build more fiber networks.

C. To learn from North Korea.

D. To make the government know the situation.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕…运行) the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. Also there will be new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost anywhere.

1.GPS can help you find your position, can’t it?

2.What does a GPS look like?

3.How many things are mentioned that GPS devices can be put into?

4.Why do some people think GPS devices will be popular in the future?

5.What is the use of ground stations?

6.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
