Technlgies used fr human purpses are nw being used t imprve pet’s well-being. And the pet humanizatin trend f recent years is shwn in technlgy, with a great increase in need fr different kinds f wearable tech devices (设备) frm pet parents arund the wrld. Tday, it is nt unusual t see dgs r cats with smething tied (系) t their bdy t mnitr (监控) their activity r track their lcatin.
“Peple dn’t knw the answer t questins abut hw much exercise r the amunt f fd their dg needs and that’s where wearable mnitring device cmes in,” says CEO and c-funder f PitPat, Andrew Nwell. Between 2022 and 2021, this UK develper f a pet tracking device fr dgs, shipped 39% mre f its prducts. At the same time, the UK pet ppulatin increased by 10% t mre than 9 millin and a new type f pet wner appeared, the s called Generatin Y. They are the majrity f custmers that buy a wearable tech device, mainly wanting t knw hw far their pet has gne and what the dg is ding while they are ut.
The wearable tech field is mainly made up f small start-up cmpanies. But this may change in the near future. “All the big players are very interested. They will jump int the field in ne way r anther, “said Asaf Dagan, c-funder f the wearable tech device prducer PetPace. Market research cmpanies are predicting that the field will be wrth between $2.4 billin and $3.5 billin in the cming years, with a yearly increase ranging between 13.5% and 25% by 2025.
Despite the ptential (潜力) there are still sme challenges that cmpanies will sn have t face. Awareness is ne f them. “The functin f the GPS tracker is suppsed t be knwn by mre pet parents, but there is still wrk t d t help them knw abut activity mnitrs. It is a matter f putting the message acrss. The value is there and the need is there. It’s abut prviding a cnnectin and creating awareness,” cmmented Dagan.

Yur Internet experience is terrible when the net speed is t slw—it takes s lng t pen a web page and the film yu’re watching stps every few minutes. That can be very annying. But it culd be a thing f the past. In the near future, majr telecm carriers will start t prvide 5G services.
What is 5G? What difference will it really make t ur lives? The “G” in “5G” refers t the generatins f mbile netwrk technlgies. 1G let us talk t each ther, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mbile data and the Internet, and 4G made all f these things faster. Nw 5G prmises much faster data dwnlad and uplad speeds, and re stable cnnectins. This means that yu will be able t dwnlad an entire HD mvie in secnds and nly experience a shrt delay between sending and receiving data. Fr example, when yu have a vide chat with yur friend, there is generally a 200 millisecnds delay with 4G, but 5G will reduce the delay t 1 millisecnd, which is almst real time.
5G will be able t imprve many advanced technlgies, such as driverless cars, wearable devices and entertainment. With a 5G netwrk, the shrt delay in infrmatin exchange will allw driverless cars t run mre safely, as they will be able t cmmunicate in real time and avid dangers. Meanwhile, 5G-enabled wearable devices will keep dctrs updated n the health status f their patients, s dctrs can give patients advice immediately if there’s smething wrng. Besides, VR games will becme mre ppular with 5G. The shrt delay f 5G will make the games feel even mre real.
Thugh 5G will make ur lives mre cnvenient, it will nt be perfect. Fr ne thing, 5G will nt “travel” far. On 4G netwrks, yu can be 10 kilmetres away frm the nearest transmissin base and barely lse signals. But 5G will nly cver abut 300 metres, meaning that we will need mre transmitters s that we can get signals. And in rder t use 5G, we will have t buy new prducts specifically designed fr 5G that are currently expensive.
5. What des the “G” in “5G” refer t?
A. Games.B. Grups.C. Grades.D. Generatins.
6. What is the main idea f Paragraph 3?
A. The advantages f 5G.B. The disadvantages f 5G.
C. The price f 5G prducts.D. The advanced technlgies.
7. Which f the fllwing is NOT true?
A. 3G gave us mbile data and the Internet.
B. 5G will allw driverless cars t run mre safely.
C. 5G will cver abut 300 metres t 1,000 metres.
D. 5G will make the VR games feel even mre real.

A wearable assistance device (可穿戴辅助设备) fr swimmers wh are ttally r partially blind was invented by a grup f students in Greece.
The device, which is fixed n a swimming cap, has a set f sensrs that can tell the swimmer (wh is wearing it) abut his r her lcatin (位置) in the pl, and their arrival at the end f swimming fr the turn r the finish. Besides this, the device includes an earphne that can tell the swimmer (using it) abut his r her timing.
The students, wh are als members f the Swim. me team, wanted t develp this device t help blind peple f all ages realise their dream f swimming, n matter what kind f difficulties they might face.
They als presented their inventin t Paralympian (残奥会) and wrld champin (冠军) swimmer Charalambs Taiganidis.
“It was very imprtant fr us t get advice frm such a great swimmer, wh can directly try the device. He gave us advice n hw t make further use f the device,” a student said.
The device is the secnd big inventin fr blind peple that has been develped by Greek students. The first inventin, called “Smart Visin”, is t help blind peple in their daily shpping activities and includes a device that can “read” the infrmatin such as ingredients (成分) and date n the bx t the users.
These students are nw trying t make the swimming cap device ready t use and will take part in a cmpetitin fr inventins with it.

A Japanese cmpany has created a “smart’’ mask t imprve cmmunicatin fr peple wearing face cverings t prevent the spread f COVID-19.
The use f face masks has becme the new nrmal in parts f the wrld still trying hard t reduce spread f the crnavirus. Hwever, masks and ther kinds f cverings can affect the quality f cmmunicatin between wearers.
It can be mre difficult t hear vices thrugh the cverings. Many business and public spaces als have scial distance barriers in place, which als make it harder fr peple t be heard and understd.
The wearable electrnic device is designed t help imprve speech interactins in such cnditins. The Japanese startup cmpany Dnut Rbtics calls its inventin the “e-mask”. The device is wrn ver ther cmmn face masks.
The e-mask is made f sft plastic material. It has a built-in micrphne and hles in the frnt t let air in. When it is turned n, the mask uses Bluetth technlgy t cnnect t a mbile device. An app then helps users perfrm several actins, including turning speech int text, cmpleting telephne calls and making the user’s vice luder. If needed, when peple speak, the text f the cnversatin can als be displayed n a large cmputer screen, which makes mdern nline meetings pssible. During a cmpany meeting, minutes can be created and translated withut typing.
Dnut Rbtics plans t create a wrld where peple can cnnect with each ther frm a distance better. The e-mask will be equipped with a Wi-Fi ruter. And the cmpany is planning t install AR functin as well.
“Abut 6,000 e-masks have been sld in Japan since a year ag.” Taisuke On, the head f Dnut Rbtics said, “I have received strng interest in the prduct and I believe it will sell well in China, the United States and Eurpe.”
13. The e-mask was invented in rder t ________.
A. tell peple t keep scial distanceB. help peple t be heard mre clearly
C. change peple’s ways f cmmunicatinD. imprve the quality f the cmmn mask
14. ________ makes it pssible fr the e-mask t help a cmpany recrd and translate the minutes.
A. A mbile appB. An hle in the frntC. A micrphneD. The plastic material
15. Frm the passage we can infer that ________.
A. e-masks are very ppular in the wrld nw
B. electrnic devices will be replaced by e-masks
C. peple will buy mre e-masks than cmmn nes
D. Taisuke On is sure f the bright future f e-masks
16. The passage is mainly abut ________.
A. the ways t use the e-mask betterB. the inventin and functin f the e-mask

It’s a pity that deaf peple, r thse wh have hearing prblems, can’t enjy music. But nw a vibrating suit brings them hpe— it can allw them t “feel” music instead f hearing it.
Designed by a technlgy cmpany, the suit is made up f a bdy harness ankle and wrist straps”. Music is sent t the suit and then the suit is able t translate it int a number f vibrating beats, which can be felt all ver the bdy. The users can adjust the degrees f the vibratins.
Chase Burtn, 33, a deaf filmmaker frm Texas, US, has been testing ut the suit fr fur years. He understands that a deaf persn’s experience with music is very different. “When I was a kid, I’d lie n the flr abve ur garage s I culd feel the vibratins frm my brther’s band rcking ut belw my bdy,” Burtn said. Nw when he wears the vibrating device”, he says the sund hits different parts f his bdy. “Maybe it will hit me dwn in my ankles first. And then I’ll start t feel the vibratins in my back. And then I’ll feel sme in my wrist,” Burtn said.
The designers have been wrking t make mre deaf peple experience music thrugh their skin. In 2016, a dzen prttype suits were tested at a Lady Gaga cncert in the US. The suit was als tested at a different cncert in Las Vegas in 2018. It was given t 150 audience members at the cncert where half the audience members were deaf and half culd hear.
At the same time, the cmpany has been imprving the technlgy, saying it’s ready t g t market sn. The suit may be used in vide games r theme parks. The final gal is t make the technlgy available t all.
“We truly think that anything that has an audi element can als have a vibratinal experience as well,” the cmpany’s directr Jrdan said.
17. The vibrating suit is a wearable device that can ________.
A. keep deaf peple safeB. teach the deaf t play music
C. treat hearing prblemsD. help deaf peple feel music

Vide calls are a cmmn thing in ur daily life, but have yu imaged being able t tuch the persn n the ther end f the line? Scientists are making this a reality.
Researchers have invented a sft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic device (触觉设备), that can recreate the sense f tuch. Haptic technlgy cpies the experience f tuch by stimulating (刺激) part f the skin in ways that are similar t what is felt in the real wrld, thrugh frce, vibratin (振动) r mvement.
Vibratin is the mst cmmn haptic technlgy tday, such as ne used in laptps, which is similar t a buttn clicking. Hwever, haptic feedback with vibratin becmes less sensitive when used cntinuusly. The existing technlgy als has great difficulty recreating the sense f tuch with bjects in virtual (虚拟的) envirnments r lcated remtely, accrding t Mai Thanh Thai, lead authr f the study.
The new technlgy vercmes prblems with existing haptic devices. The research team intrduced a nvel methd t recreate the sense f tuch thrugh sft, man-made “muscles”.
“Our three-way directinal skin stretch device, built int the fingertips f the wearable haptic glve, is like wearing a secnd skin — it’s sft, stretchable and similar t the sense f tuch — and will enable new frms f haptic cmmunicatin t imprve everyday activities,” said Thanh Nh D, senir authr f the study.
It wrks like this: Imagine yu are at hme and yu call yur friend far away. Yu wear a haptic glve with the SSDs and yur friend als wears a haptic glve. If yur friend picks up an bject, it will physically press against yur friend’s fingers. And his glve will measure these interactins. The frce signals can be sent t yur glve s yur device will make the same frces, making yu experience the same sense f tuch as yur friend.
The haptic devices culd be used in varius places, allwing users t feel bjects inside a virtual wrld r at a distance. This culd be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when peple depend n vide calls t keep in tuch with lved nes. Or it culd be used in medical practices. Dctrs can feel a patient withut tuching him.
21. Which des the underlined wrd “nvel” mean?
A. a kind f bk t readB. be able t read
C. cmmn and ppularD. new and different
22. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that ________.
A. vibratin is the mst cmmn haptic technlgy tday
B. vibratin is a sense f feeling similar t a buttn clicking
C. existing technlgy has sme disadvantages n vibratin
D. existing technlgy has been widely used in many devices
23. What culd we knw after reading the passage?
A. It is cmmn t tuch the persn when we make calls.
B. Vibratin is a way t stimulate skin t create the sense f tuch.
C. Peple will d mre everyday activities after wearing haptic glves.
D. When yur friend picks up an bject, yu will receive the frces he makes.
24. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Tuch at a distanceB. The usage f SSD

Recently, sme peple have cmplained abut the purpsefully addictive (上瘾的) designs f smartphnes and scial media, which make it hard fr anyne t put them dwn, especially teens. Nw, a new reprt in Emtin gives facts that back up what these peple said.
Accrding t the reprt, yung peple’s life satisfactin and happiness have drpped since 2012, the year the percentage f teens wning smartphnes started increasing rapidly. The reprt als finds that teens’ psychlgical (心理的) health gets wrse the mre hurs a week they spend n screens.
Jean Twenge is the lead writer f the reprt. She graphed (制图) the cnnectin between happiness and screen activities, such as scial media, texting, gaming, and vide chats. She als graphed the cnnectin between happiness and nn-screen activities, including sprts, reading, and face-t-face cmmunicatins. She called the relatinship between screen and nn-screen activities “zer sum”—if yu are ding ne, it takes time away frm the thers.
Diane Tanman cmplains that her sns are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used t play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sns are mre int nline games. Many f the games have rewards (奖励) built in t keep players cming back. “It’s just junk fd fr the brain,” Tanman said.
Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-ld sn Le is a fan f vide games. After playing a lt, Le gets mre upset and uncmfrtable. He wants his sn t play fewer vide games.
Hwever, ttally staying away frm electrnic devices (设备) desn’t lead t happiness, either. Twenge and her c-writers fund that the happiest teens used electrnic devices a little less than an hur daily. After a daily hur f screen time, unhappiness rises in relatin t increasing screen time.
Spending time in frnt f a screen is a nrmal part f being a teenager. Many schls require students t be nline and t use iPads r ther devices t d their wrk. But teachers and parents have als cmplained that technlgy can get in the way f learning when teens use their devices fr things ther than their studies.
If we recgnize hw screen time influences yung minds, we can help teens use technlgy better and prtect their psychlgical health in the prcess. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have sme nce in a while, but it shuldn’t be part f ur everyday lives.
25. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Screen time at hme is nt as beneficial as screen time at schl.
B. Nearly an hur f screen time every day makes teens happiest.
C. Technlgy shuld be encuraged in classrm learning.
D. What teens d n the screen influences their happiness.
26. Why des the passage give the examples f families with teens?
A. T prve the bad effect f the addictive designs f electrnic devices.
B. T shw parents have little cntrl ver their teens’ screen time.
C. T cmpare different-aged teens’ feelings abut screen use.
D. T explain why electrnic devices make teens feel happy.
27. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Use f Electrnic Devices: Shuld We Cnsider Teens’ Needs?
B. Teens’ Psychlgical Health: Why Is It Imprtant?
C. Screen Time and Teens’ Study Perfrmance
D. Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfactin

Eating with nrmal chpsticks is cmmn, but Japanese researchers came up with smething very unique. Scientists in Japan have develped electric chpsticks that are used t help peple cut dwn n salt. The special chpsticks use a tiny bit f electricity t make fd taste like it has mre salt.
Thugh human bdies need salt, many peple eat far t much f it. We put it n ur lunches, dinners, and everything in between. While a little bit f salt is tasty, t much can be harmful. The mst cmmn illness cnnected t eating t much salt is high bld pressure. Mrever, accrding t the WHO, a surprising number f 2.5 millin peple may nt die each year if each persn in the wrld eats less than five grams daily.
This research, carried ut by the scientists at Meiji University and Kirin, which sells fd and drinks, may help many peple live a lw salt life withut sacrificing (牺牲) taste. The chpsticks wrk with a mini-cmputer that can be wrn n the hand. When the chpsticks are put in the muth, there is a tiny bit f electricity. The electricity is t small t be felt, but it can change the way the tngue tastes certain things.
This research shwed that with the chpsticks, fd culd have up t 30% less salt and still taste just as salty. S far Kirin hasn’t planned t sell the chpsticks. But it is lking int ways the technlgy culd be used with ther eating tls, including spns.

Have yu ever met anyne that hates thrwing things away and saves almst everything they cme acrss fr fear that they might need it? They are harders (囤积者). In a harder’s hme, there are newspapers and bks everywhere, as well as shulder-high piles f clthes, tys and s n.
Althugh mst f us might nt suffer frm this prblem f physical harding (实质的囤积), the mdern technlgy is turning many peple int digital (数码的) harders. As digital strage devices (存储设备) becme cheaper, peple nw can save as many articles, digital phts and vides as they want. It’s easy t d and seemingly harmless, but the cllecting can quickly get ut f cntrl.
Physical harding is nt s hard t deal with, while digital harding, n the ther hand, is much harder. Sme peple may begin saving cpies f every pht r article they find n the Internet, r whle seasns f TV shws that they never watch. Sn, their devices fill up t the pint f being unusable and they are unable t find imprtant things they d need. Their cmputers and their lives are verrun (泛滥) by e-junk.
Hw d yu knw if yu’re becming a digital harder? Here are sme signs: feeling wrried when deleting (删除) smething, r always needing new strage devices. Anther warning signal is when yu spend mre time lking fr things n yur cmputer than it wuld take t dwnlad them again. If this sunds like yu, t take yur life back, yu need t change.
Start by lking thrugh yur devices if yu haven’t tuched a file in ver a year, it is prbably n lnger imprtant and can be abandned. Next, delete all bad phts, and fr each, ask yurself if yu will want t see it in ten years. Abve all, name the files wisely, adding descriptins and dates t make the search easier.
In a wrld where cmputers and smartphnes are used s widely, it’s easy t find yurself living in a sea f files. As yu try t mve frward in yur new digital life, make gd use f yur “Delete” key.

Tday we can d everything with apps: pay bills, rder fd and shp fr anything. Mbile technlgy means we can hld the wrld in ur hands. Hwever, when it cmes t technlgy and healthcare, pprtunities and challenges cme tgether.
Let’s start with the ways t get health care. Telemedicine can allw a patient t use technlgy t see the dctr nline and get a diagnsis (诊断) and instructins withut leaving hme.
In additin, there are many patient websites. These allw fr different kinds f interactins (互动) abut ur health needs. Setting a date with dctrs and reading lab results are quickly achieved by technlgy.
A whle new age f medical care seems likely t cme in the future. But every cin has tw sides. What might be n the ther side f techn-health care?
Firstly, we shuld think abut the health care experience as a whle. A usual visit t a dctr begins with a receptinist (接待员), wh can see and tell hw a patient is ding. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s likely that a patient website will nt have such intuitin.
Next, sharing the details f ne’s life requires trust, which takes time t build. This is certainly true in health care, where sme f life’s best and wrst mments invlve dctrs. The human tuch shuld nt be undervalued and is unlikely t be there ver the smartphne.
Lastly, test results can be difficult t understand. When smene withut a medical degree sees a flagged (标记了的) result with n explanatin n the website, there’s rm fr all kinds f stries t frm in their minds—and als great wrry.
S hw des medicine adapt (适应) t the new technlgy age? Very talented cmpanies are wrking n it. There is medical equipment that can be used at hme t send necessary signs and heart sunds thrugh telemedicine. It seems likely that sme cmpanies will find a way t explain test results.
But what it will nt achieve is the warmth f human interactin and tuch. Patients ften need smene t listen t—and care abut—their jurney stry, which will never be realized thrugh a human-less technlgy. Technlgy shuld be a tl, but depending n it ttally will mst certainly have unexpected effects. Let’s nt allw ur humanity (人性，人道) t be ne f them.
38. Accrding t the passage, hw des technlgy help health care?
A. It encurages dctrs t vice their needs n the websites.
B. It ffers the patient a cnvenient way t get a diagnsis.
C. It imprves relatins between dctrs and patients.
D. It prvides an pprtunity t build a medical team.
39. The wrd “intuitin” in paragraph 5 prbably means ________.
A. an ability t understandB. an interesting experience
C. a chance t winD. a far decisin
