As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because “girls cant deal with that thing”. My husband asked her who told her that.

Youre just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. Im proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. Youre very smart.”He held the scorpions tail, adding, “As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and cant do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. Therere women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them.” She got so excited at the thought of woman being able to do things a man can do.At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them.

It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots self-driving cars, and the Internet of things.The GSMA said that Chinas three major mobile operatorsChina Unicorn, China Mobile, and China Telecomare already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.One of the most distinguishing factors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines Chinas seriousness about paying whatever it takes.Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nations total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent.

DIn this room at Microsofts headquarters in Redmond, Washington, all sound from the outside world is locked out and any sound produced inside is stopped cold. Its called an anechoic (无回声的) chamber (室), because it creates no echo at all. This is the worlds quietest place. The room offers a very rare experience. “As soon as one enters the room, one immediately feels a strange and unique sensation which is hard to describe,” wrote Hundraj Gopal, a speech and hearing scientist and the principal designer of the anechoic chamber at Microsoft, in an email. “Most people find the absence of sound deafening, feel a sense of fullness in the ears, or some ringing. When you turn your head, you can hear that motion. You can hear yourself breathing and it sounds somewhat loud,” he said. In the real world, Gopal explained, there is always some air pressure on the ear drums. But upon entering the anechoic room this constant air pressure is gone, since there are no sound reflections from the surrounding walls. Microsofts chamber is currently registered in the Guinness World Record as the worlds quietest place, a title it claimed in 2015 at the expense of a similar chamber at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis. But unlike Microsofts, that chamber is open to the public, which has turned it into a small tourist attraction. Despite rumors to the contrary, there is no “world record” for time spent in the chamber constantly by a person, and such challenges are not encouraged, according to Orfield, who constructed his own lab and anechoic chamber. And he has rejected many requests from people who want to “beat the record.”Anechoic chambers are generally used to test noises and sounds coming from a variety of products with a high degree of scientific reliability. Microsoft uses it for audio equipment such as microphones, receivers, headphones and speakers, or to analyze clicks and hums from computing devices like keyboards, mice, fans and so on. Since the chamber at Orfield Labs is the only officially approved one in an independent lab in the United States, it attracts an even wider range of businesses and products: medical defibrillators, sleep-apnoea machines, hearing aids, heart valves, appliances, automotive parts, computers and hard drives. 32. What can be learned about the anechoic chamber?A. You can hear your breath clearly in it. B. One feels strange immediately he goes out of it. C. Tiny sounds are quieter than they really are in it. D. The air pressure in the ear drums still exists in it. 33. What is the advantage of Microsofts chamber over Orfields chamber?A. It is considered a quieter room. B. It is officially recognized in the USA. C. It has become a tourist attraction. D. It attracts more businesses. 34. What is Orfields attitude towards peoples challenge staying in the anechoic room?A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Opposed. 35. What is the best title for the text?A. The Guinness World Record B. The quietest place, but not relaxingC. A rare and uncomfortable experience D. The anechoic chamber of Orfield第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Is a cashless society possible for everyone?There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society. It would give rise to a new era for financial businesses, which are all carried out digitally. The key benefits would include lower crime rates, easier foreign businesses, and reduced risks and costs. The idea of a cashless society appears so wide-spread in our society. 36 Economic inequality and exclusivity (排他性)are fundamental issues still present worldwide. 37 The unbanked and the poor could face significant challenges with digital payment.

As we use the model set by China, other countries need to take it upon themselves to provide a harmonious, and effective, cashless societyone that does not leave anyone behind. 40 But at the same time they should be provided with the means and motivation to take part in an ever-growing cashless world.A.
