22、We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than 4G systems. Such improvements are sure to be popular with 5G users worldwide. While it is set to start only in just a few areas of the United States this year, much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive this service until 2023.

One project in Britain, though, is already testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experimental subjects are an unlikely group of internet users – cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate (使自动化) the milking process.

The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. Testing areas were set up at farm in three rural (农村的) areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connceted devices (设备) that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process.

System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines offer food for the cow as a reward.

One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet in southwest England. There, about 50 of the farm’s 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and ear sensors(传感器). Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors help farmers immediately find problems or health concerns.

Duncan Forbes, the project leader, told Reuters that so far, he thinks the project shows the farm’s cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology.

Forbes added that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future “not just on farm, but in rural communities right across the country.”

【1】What do we know about 5G technology from the first two paragraphs?

A．It has changed our lives.

B．it has more users than 4G.

C．It has not been widely used.

D．It has been used on cows in the US.

【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The introduction of 5G devices.

B．The milking process with 5g technology.

C．The purpose of system designers

D．The way machines provide cows with food.

【3】Why are some cows equipped with ear sensors?

A．To recognize every cow.

B．To judge the position of the cow.

C．To reduce the harm from devices.

D．To find health problems in cows.

23、   Do you now have a teacher who just doesn't understand you？ If you're not getting along well with your teacher， then continue reading this article to gain some tips that can help you deal with your bad situation．

Talk to your parents

24、If you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.

Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.

The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.

More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.

The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.

Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.

But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.

【1】What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?

A．Their feeding patterns.

B．Their sense of direction.

C．Their greedy behaviors.

D．Their habit of following fishing boats.

【2】For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?

A．To seek more fishes.

B．To have it mistaken for another.

C．To avoid being detected.

D．To save the trouble of declaring itself.

【3】What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A．Identifying birds with loggers.

B．Monitoring illegal boats.

C．Tracking radar signals automatically.

D．Fishing illegally.

【4】What could be the best title for the text?

A．AIS: an Effective System to Locate Boats

B．Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ Nature

C．Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest

D．Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations
