And it isnt just a network: 5G will become the foundation of the entire global digital economy, capable of generating trillions of pounds of value.Everyone and every industry will feel its effects. Compared to today, 5G will be 10 to 20 times faster and support billions of digital devices with much greater reliability and security. 5G provides the platform for the Internet of Thingseverything from self-driving cars, to enhanced medical and social care, to all manner of new industrial and business applications. Well established online services like media and entertainment will see significant improvements such as ultra-high definition video and very low latency (延时) online gaming. 5G couples a full fibre fixed network approach with high capacity, high reliability and low latency mobile plus advanced software approaches such as edge computing and network virtualization. New techniques such as network slicing allow different types of services to run at the same time, vastly increasing the scope of applications and services that can be supported. In effect, one 5G network can act as thousands, or even billions, of virtual networks, each specialized for a particular task or dedicated to a single customer, but all running on one physical infrastructure. While consumers may be the most obvious beneficiaries of faster, more intelligent and useful services, 5G will also bring enormous benefits and opportunities to businesses by allowing enhancements and differentiators to existing products and services or by providing a platform for entirely new digital services. 5G is an industrial game-changer and one that you cant ignore. With trials enabling technology already underway around the world, 5G will become an increasing reality within the next couple of years. 5G is of such critical importance to the UK economy that the Government is strongly backing efforts to help the UK become a market leader in exploiting the technology. It has recently published a strategy to create an exciting UK 5G world and arrange the actions needed to speed its introduction. It is actively coordinating efforts to accelerate making 5G a reality and is funding trials of the technology, ground-breaking applications and innovative business partnerships across a wide range of urban and rural applications. 58. What can we learn about 5G from this article? A. 5G will be a regular upgrade of the latest generations of mobile telecoms. B. 5G will be more reliable and secure than the earlier generations of mobile telecoms. C. 5G will allow every single customer to have one physical infrastructure to run. D. 5G will be on trial around the world within the next couple of years. 59. What does the underlined word “beneficiaries” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. People who make contributions. B. People who make gains. C. People who have creativity. D. People who suffer losses.60. What attitude does the UK hold towards 5G? A. Hesitant. B. Cautious. C. Concerned. D. Ambitious. CEconomic decision-making involves weighing up differently beneficial alternatives to maximize profits. This sometimes requires foregoing ones desire for immediate satisfaction. Not only does one have to control ones own impulses (冲动), but also to assess the expected outcomes in order to decide whether waiting is worthwhile.A team including researchers from Max-Planck-Institute for Ornithology in Germany and the Max-Planck Comparative Cognition Research Station in Spain has now investigated economic decision-making in four parrot species. The subjects were first trained to learn to associate three food items with particular tokens: a metal loop (环) for the low-value food, a metal bracket for the medium-value food and a piece of plastic pipe for the high-value food.Then the parrots were tested in the conditions carried out by the previous studies and also applied additional test and control conditions. In three conditions the subjects could increase their payoff by choosing the token over the immediately available food. In additional control conditions, however, selecting a token resulted in a lower or equal payoff.When provided with a choice between food and a token that could be exchanged for a higher quality of food (conditions 1, 2, 3), all four species chose the token. The results show that parrots are capable of deliberate and profit-maximizing decisions.When facing the choice between food and a token through which they could obtain food of lesser value (condition 4), all birds of all four species selected the immediate food reward over the token, even if it was not highly preferred. These findings suggest that the parrots did not merely learn a “select a token over food” rule.The remaining two control conditions presented situations where the immediate and future food reward was of the same quality to test whether the subjects would avoid the unnecessary effort and extra waiting time by selecting the immediate food reward. The majority of the grey parrots performed poorly and unnecessarily chose the token. However, the blue-headed macaws performed better overall than the other species in the crucial controls.Auguste von Bayern, the leader of the research team, said, “Given that wild parrots are so difficult to track, we know little about the ecological challenges most parrots face in the wild, such as deciding where to go and how long to stay in a feeding site. However, in our experimental setting we find that they are capable of making decisions so as to maximize their pay-off. This is a fascinating indication that such decisions may matter greatly in their natural environment.”61. From the passage, we can learn that economic decision-making .A. focuses on profit maximizationB. requires excellent creative skillsC. is beneficial to the control of ones desireD. is crucial to the assessment of satisfaction6
