DeBLightning fast downloadsAs long as you have broadband (宽带) service in your home, you can turn on your desktop computer and connect to the Internet. If you have a wireless router (路由器), a device that spreads the broadband connection to other devices, you can set up a Wi-Fi network, which enables your cell phone and tablet to go online too. And when you are outdoors where there is no Wi-Fi, such as in the park or at the beach, having 3G service allows you to stay connected.It seems that lots of us already have Internet coverage everywhere we go. So why have mobile companies around the world lately been so passionate about a new term, “4G”?First, you need to know that the letter “G” stands for “generation”. Even if you have no idea what 4G is, at least you can figure out that its a step up from 3G since its the latest generation of mobile internet service.Unlike broadband, mobile Internet uses the same signal towers that provide voice service to your cell phone, which means wherever you can make phone calls with your cell phone you also have an Internet connection.But mobile connections have their drawbacks: they dont carry as much information as broadband does, making opening websites and downloading music slower than they are on a Wi-Fi connection. This is why mobile connections have been constantly upgraded since the first generation was launched (推出) back in the 1980s.According to BBC, 4G is five to seven times faster than current 3G network speeds, almost as fast as home broadband. Because of this, 4G is ideally suited for services which demand more bandwidth (带宽) like video streaming (下载), mapping, online shopping and even video conferencing. This could improve peoples work productivity, since they can do more online while on the move.To achieve the high speeds, network companies have to spend a lot of money on building new spectrum (光谱) and signal towers, which will eventually lead to a higher phone bill if you switch to 4G. Youll also have to get a new phone with 4G capacity (功能).In addition, 4G is not yet as widespread as 3G. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has just handed out the first batch (批) of licenses for the 4G mobile network to four mobile phone makers, ZTE, Huawei, Sony and Samsung. China Mobile started to sell 4G mobile phones in Beijing on Nov 6.So you might have to wait a bit before you can enjoy this fancy, new Internet service.65. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The development of the Internet and Wi-Fi.B. Different ways that people access the Internet.C. How people stay connected with their cellphones.D. How the Internet affects our daily lives.66. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. qualitiesB. benefitsC. functionsD. disadvantages67. According to the article, 4G _.A. is even faster than home broadbandB. will be cheaper than current 3G network serviceC. will be available for all kinds of cellphonesD. might help people do more work while they are on the go68. What is the authors attitude toward 4G service?A. Passionate. B. Objective. C. Critical.D. Doubtful.CLong, cold tripOn Dec 3, American teenager Parker Liautaud will begin a 640-kilometer journey from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole on foot and on skis.The 19-year-old aims to complete his expedition in 22 days, using a satellite (卫星) support truck that will follow him and his teammate, veteran (经验丰富的) explorer Doug Stoup, from a distance.He will attempt to set a new speed record for an expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole on foot. As long as Liautaud makes it the whole way, he will become the youngest man ever to accomplish that feat (成就).To set the speed record, however, Liautaud needs to average around 18 miles (29km) a day while facing temperatures between -28 C and -60 C. On an average day he will be on the move for around 12 hours and will need to consume 6,000 calories.Liautaud has hiked to the North Pole three times since he was 15. He says he was first motivated (激发) by the opportunity to raise awareness about climate change rather than to push his own physical limits.“I had to change my mindset (思维), where I am trying to think like a professional and Im not a natural athlete,” he told The Telegraph.The current Yale University student studying geology (地质学) brought along Ben Saunders, a British explorer who recently took an expedition to the South Pole and back, as an inspiring influence for his physical preparation. “Training is something I used to feel very out of place doing, but now I feel very confident about my ability to get from A to B physically,” Liautaud told the English newspaper.To face the dangers ahead, Liautauds training schedule includes working out on a rowing machine while wearing a 70-pound (32kg) vest. Hes eating 6,000 calories a day, which he will maintain in Antarctica.“I have to be prepared to pull a sled (雪橇) that weighs approximately 180 pounds (82kg) for 12 hours a day for nearly a month,” he told Reuters.While in Antarctica, Liautaud will take snow samples which will contribute to his studies on climate change. He will also do the first ever test of a lightweight weather station in Antarctica.69. Which of the
