The fllwing mnth, President Xi Jinping annunced that the system had been cmpleted and had begun prviding full-scale glbal services.
Currently, there are 46 satellites in active service, including the latest ne. And China plans t establish the next generatin f the Beidu system by 2035. The new versin will be “mnipresent（无处不在的）smarter and mre integrated” and upn its cmpletin, there will be Beidu service nt nly n land and sea but als in the sky, uter space and deep within the ceans, accrding t the China Satellite Navigatin Office.

Silent reading is far frm silent in yur brain. Deep within yur head there is a vice reading alud each wrd as yur eyes pass ver it.
Let's d a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn n yur televisin and radi. Try t understand bth the wrds frm the televisin and the radi simultaneusly. Yu might have nticed understanding ne surce required ignring the ther, and yu culd feel yur attentin shifting between the tw vices. Althugh we can listen t multiple peple speaking at the same time, we can nly truly understand ne persn speaking at a time.
There are three majr areas that allw yu t understand spken wrd. The first is the Auditry Crtex（听觉皮层），which prcesses the pure characteristics f incming sunds. Bth sides f yur brain cntain this regin. The next area is the Brca/ Wernicke （B/W） netwrk, which makes sense f the spken wrd. This netwrk exits in nly ne side f yur brain. This means that, althugh the sunds f language are initially prcessed in bth sides f the brain, spken wrd must eventually be funneled（流经漏斗） int this single netwrk. This quickly leads t a bttle neck, which is cntrlled by the third area: the left Inferir Frntal Gyrus（IFG额下回）. When yu try t understand tw peple speaking at the same time, this regin effectively blcks ne vice while it allws the ther t pass thrugh the B/W bttleneck. Any infrmatin that des nt immediately make it thrugh the B/W netwrk disappears cmpletely-there is n wait list.
Nw, let's bring all the pieces tgether t see why it's related t yur silent reading. When yu read, the first regin t illustrate activatin is the Visual Crtex, which prcesses the pure visual characteristics f incming sights. Immediately after the visual crtex activates, the speech areas f the brain fire up because yur brain prcesses yur silent reading in a manner almst identical t the way in which it prcesses an actual, ut-lud speaking vice. Fr this reasn, attempting t read while listening t smene speak is the same as trying t understand tw peple speaking at the same time-it can't be dne!
29. What des the underlined wrd “simultaneusly” in paragrph2 mean?
A. At the same time. B. One at a time.
C. On the whle. D. Thrugh cmparisn.
30. Which f the fllwing best illustrates paragraph 3?
A. B.
C. D.
31. What may the authr agree with?
A. Prfessrs give a speech with a text-heavy PwerPint side.
B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students slve math prblem when fllwing a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading nvels.
32. Which f the flwing sentences can best serve as an intrductin t the text?
A. The art f cnversatin lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent cnversatin
C. We hear and understand nly what we already knw half
D. Once an idea gets int yur head, it's prbably ging t stay there

Mre and mre peple enjy listening t music while they wrk, believing that music helps bst creativity. But an internatinal study cnducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpint. 33
T cme t their cnclusins, researchers had participants cmplete verbal prblems designed t inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet rm. 34 They fund that backgrund music significantly weakened the participants' ability t cmplete tasks assciated with verbal creativity. The research team als tested backgrund nises such as thse cmmnly heard in a library, but fund that such nises had n impact n subjects' creativity.
The tasks were simple wrd games. 35 Then, they were asked t find a single wrd that culd be cmbined with the three t frm a cmmn phrase r wrd. The single wrd, in this case, wuld be “sun” （sunshine, sunflwer, etc）. Participants cmpleted the tasks either in a quiet rm r while listening t different types f music.
“We fund strng evidence f damaged perfrmance when playing backgrund music in cmparisn t quiet backgrund cnditins.” says Dr. McLatchie. Dr. McLatchie with his clleagues cncludes that music disturbs the verbal wrking memry f the brain. 36 Als, as far as the library backgrund nises have seemingly n effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library nises create a “steady state” envirnment that desn't affect cncentratin.
“ 37 Instead, they demnstrate music, regardless f its types, cnsistently interrupts creative perfrmance in prblem slving,” the study reads.
A. And this in turn blcks creativity.
B. First, all participants spke ut three wrds f their favrite music
C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the backgrund
D. Prir t the task, the participants were nt expsed t the music they wuld listen.
E. Fr example, participants were given three wrds, such as dress, shine, and flwer.
F. T cnclude, the findings challenge the ppular view that music encurages creativity.
G. Psychlgists frm several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.

He felt like them-small and insignificant. Thus, when he nticed sme ants trying t build a huse, he decided t help them! Willard cnstructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside t encurage the ants t mve in. When they did, Willard built mre huses.
At schl, Willard still struggled, but nw he knew be culd d smething special. Maybe he wasn't a failure after all. If he had truble with his reading r math, Willard wuld later g hme and create tiny furniture fr the ant huses. He even built an ant schl, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-g-rund. His artistic skill increased, and a lve fr little things began t grw in his heart.
At age nine, Willard began carving faces n tthpicks. He discvered that his ability imprved when he held his breath as he wrked. When he quit schl at age 15 t help supprt his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His cnfidence grew as mre peple appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factry jb t pursue his dream f becming ne f the best artists in the wrld. Nw, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwrk in the wrld! His sculptures are s small that several can fit n a perid at the end f a sentence
Because f their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn't abut material things like an expensive watch r a cstly ring; it's abut persevering and achieving yur dreams.”
Willard Wigan, micrsculptr, has dne just that. The man wh felt small as a by has shwn the wrld that smething small can really be BIG.

China launched a Lng March 3B carrier rcket n May 17 t transprt a satellite int space fr the cuntry's Beidu Navigatin Satellite System, marking the first deplyment（部署）f a Beidu satellite in three years.
The satellite has typical functins fr a third—generatin Beidu satellite-psitining, navigatin and timing. Cmpared with previus Beidu satellites, it has sme upgraded hardware and features a strnger signal, faster transmissin speed and higher peratinal stability, said Chen Zhnggui, chief designer f Beidu's third-generatin satellites.
Despite being called a backup, the satellite is designed t start wrking as sn as it enters rbit. Its primary tasks are t expand the service areas f Beidu's shrt-messaging functin, enhance Beidu's psitining accuracy as well as imprve the netwrk's peratinal cntinuity and reliability, he nted.
“Befre the end f this year, anther tw backup Beidu satellites are scheduled t be launched t further strengthen the reliability f the netwrk,” said Wang Dng, deputy prject manager f the third-generatin Beidu netwrk.
Beidu is currently China's largest civilian satellite system and ne f fur glbal navigatin netwrks, alng with the United States'GPS, Russia's GLONASS and the Eurpean Unin's Galile.
Since 2000, a ttal f 60 Beidu satellites, including the first fur experimental nes, have been lifted n 45 Lng March 3 series rckets frm Xichang. In June 2020, the final satellite t cmplete Beidu's third-generatin netwrk was lifted by a Lng March 3B rcket at the Xichangcenter. The fllwing mnth, President Xi Jinping annunced that the system had been cmpleted and had begun prviding full-scale glbal services.
Currently, there are 46 satellites in active service, including the latest ne. And China plans t establish the next generatin f the Beidu system by 2035. The new versin will be “mnipresent（无处不在的）smarter and mre integrated” and upn its cmpletin, there will be Beidu service nt nly n land and sea but als in the sky, uter space and deep within the ceans, accrding t the China Satellite Navigatin Office.

Silent reading is far frm silent in yur brain. Deep within yur head there is a vice reading alud each wrd as yur eyes pass ver it.
Let's d a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn n yur televisin and radi. Try t understand bth the wrds frm the televisin and the radi simultaneusly. Yu might have nticed understanding ne surce required ignring the ther, and yu culd feel yur attentin shifting between the tw vices. Althugh we can listen t multiple peple speaking at the same time, we can nly truly understand ne persn speaking at a time.
There are three majr areas that allw yu t understand spken wrd. The first is the Auditry Crtex（听觉皮层），which prcesses the pure characteristics f incming sunds. Bth sides f yur brain cntain this regin. The next area is the Brca/ Wernicke （B/W） netwrk, which makes sense f the spken wrd. This netwrk exits in nly ne side f yur brain. This means that, althugh the sunds f language are initially prcessed in bth sides f the brain, spken wrd must eventually be funneled（流经漏斗） int this single netwrk. This quickly leads t a bttle neck, which is cntrlled by the third area: the left Inferir Frntal Gyrus（IFG额下回）. When yu try t understand tw peple speaking at the same time, this regin effectively blcks ne vice while it allws the ther t pass thrugh the B/W bttleneck. Any infrmatin that des nt immediately make it thrugh the B/W netwrk disappears cmpletely-there is n wait list.
Nw, let's bring all the pieces tgether t see why it's related t yur silent reading. When yu read, the first regin t illustrate activatin is the Visual Crtex, which prcesses the pure visual characteristics f incming sights. Immediately after the visual crtex activates, the speech areas f the brain fire up because yur brain prcesses yur silent reading in a manner almst identical t the way in which it prcesses an actual, ut-lud speaking vice. Fr this reasn, attempting t read while listening t smene speak is the same as trying t understand tw peple speaking at the same time-it can't be dne!
29. What des the underlined wrd “simultaneusly” in paragrph2 mean?
A. At the same time. B. One at a time.
C. On the whle. D. Thrugh cmparisn.
30. Which f the fllwing best illustrates paragraph 3?
A. B.
C. D.
31. What may the authr agree with?
A. Prfessrs give a speech with a text-heavy PwerPint side.
B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students slve math prblem when fllwing a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading nvels.
32. Which f the flwing sentences can best serve as an intrductin t the text?
A. The art f cnversatin lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent cnversatin
C. We hear and understand nly what we already knw half
D. Once an idea gets int yur head, it's prbably ging t stay there

Mre and mre peple enjy listening t music while they wrk, believing that music helps bst creativity. But an internatinal study cnducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpint. 33
T cme t their cnclusins, researchers had participants cmplete verbal prblems designed t inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet rm. 34 They fund that backgrund music significantly weakened the participants' ability t cmplete tasks assciated with verbal creativity. The research team als tested backgrund nises such as thse cmmnly heard in a library, but fund that such nises had n impact n subjects' creativity.
The tasks were simple wrd games. 35 Then, they were asked t find a single wrd that culd be cmbined with the three t frm a cmmn phrase r wrd. The single wrd, in this case, wuld be “sun” （sunshine, sunflwer, etc）. Participants cmpleted the tasks either in a quiet rm r while listening t different types f music.
“We fund strng evidence f damaged perfrmance when playing backgrund music in cmparisn t quiet backgrund cnditins.” says Dr. McLatchie. Dr. McLatchie with his clleagues cncludes that music disturbs the verbal wrking memry f the brain. 36 Als, as far as the library backgrund nises have seemingly n effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library nises create a “steady state” envirnment that desn't affect cncentratin.
“ 37 Instead, they demnstrate music, regardless f its types, cnsistently interrupts creative perfrmance in prblem slving,” the study reads.
A. And this in turn blcks creativity.
B. First, all participants spke ut three wrds f their favrite music
C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the backgrund
D. Prir t the task, the participants were nt expsed t the music they wuld listen.
E. Fr example, participants were given three wrds, such as dress, shine, and flwer.
F. T cnclude, the findings challenge the ppular view that music encurages creativity.
G. Psychlgists frm several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.
