Improvements in technology often happen overnight． Some gadgets get smaller and faster． Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones． Here are some old gadgets that people used to use． ①
Do you have a landline at home These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls． Mobile phones didn’t use to be so popular at that time, so most families had a landline． But landlines only worked at home． What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines． ②
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards． But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks． The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better． But even the best ones could only hold 1．44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③
It’s easy to take photos today． People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to cost much, and people took fewer of them． To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film． This allowed you to take up to 30 photos． After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop． The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days．
Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old． What do you think will be next to disappear (消失)

Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital (数字) way in recent years． With the help of digital technology (技术), villagers are living an easier and happier life．
Farming in the past was not an easy job． Farmers worked hard all year round． At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pest (害虫)． Now, there have been big changes in farming． For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests． In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy．
Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows． Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster． The business also helps villagers live a digital life． They can get many things done on different kinds of apps． They can also use drones to help with their farm work．
More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology． A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province． Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online． They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR．

Mike Moore has visited China more than 20 times since his first visit in 1984． In his eyes, the change of ways of transportation in Chinese cities could show the great changes that have taken place in the past years．
“My first impression (印象) of China was: thousands of people in blue or green uniforms on bikes in the cities． About 15 years later, you saw many people on motors． Another five years later, you see more private (私人的) cars, in different colours,” he said．
“Now you can see all kinds of cars in Chinese cities, no difference with other big cities in the world,” he added．
“So first bikes, then motors, and now all kinds of cars, you can feel the great changes that have happened in China in the past few years,” said the former WTO chief．
Moore described himself as a “China fan”． He said that Chinese people now became more confident (自信的), happier and healthier than before and the environment quality in big cities has been improved．
He believed that China will be stronger in the world in the future．

Some people have to use public transport, some dislike it and still some love it． If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road． Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport．
British people use trains a lot． This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris． Every day about 20 trains leave London． They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris． It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car． This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams． However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train．
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground． Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made． More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track．
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users． When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit． They also provide food services and power plugs(插头) for personal computers or mobile phones．
36．The main idea of the passage is that ________．

Improvements in technology often happen overnight． Some gadgets get smaller and faster． Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones． Here are some old gadgets that people used to use． ①
Do you have a landline at home These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls． Mobile phones didn’t use to be so popular at that time, so most families had a landline． But landlines only worked at home． What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines． ②
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards． But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks． The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better． But even the best ones could only hold 1．44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③
It’s easy to take photos today． People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to cost much, and people took fewer of them． To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film． This allowed you to take up to 30 photos． After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop． The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days．
Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old． What do you think will be next to disappear (消失)

Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital (数字) way in recent years． With the help of digital technology (技术), villagers are living an easier and happier life．
Farming in the past was not an easy job． Farmers worked hard all year round． At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pest (害虫)． Now, there have been big changes in farming． For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests． In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy．
Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows． Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster． The business also helps villagers live a digital life． They can get many things done on different kinds of apps． They can also use drones to help with their farm work．
More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology． A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province． Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online． They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR．

Mike Moore has visited China more than 20 times since his first visit in 1984． In his eyes, the change of ways of transportation in Chinese cities could show the great changes that have taken place in the past years．
“My first impression (印象) of China was: thousands of people in blue or green uniforms on bikes in the cities． About 15 years later, you saw many people on motors． Another five years later, you see more private (私人的) cars, in different colours,” he said．
“Now you can see all kinds of cars in Chinese cities, no difference with other big cities in the world,” he added．
“So first bikes, then motors, and now all kinds of cars, you can feel the great changes that have happened in China in the past few years,” said the former WTO chief．
Moore described himself as a “China fan”． He said that Chinese people now became more confident (自信的), happier and healthier than before and the environment quality in big cities has been improved．
He believed that China will be stronger in the world in the future．
32．When did Mike Moor visit China for the first time
A．In 1984． B．30 years ago． C．In 1994． D．In 2004．
33．What’s Mike Moore’s first impression when he first came to China
A．Thousands of people rode motors on the road．
B．There were no cars at all on the road．
C．Many people rode bikes on the road．
D．Different kinds of cars were on the road．

Some people have to use public transport, some dislike it and still some love it． If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road． Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport．
British people use trains a lot． This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris． Every day about 20 trains leave London． They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris． It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car． This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams． However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train．
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground． Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made． More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track．
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users． When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit． They also provide food services and power plugs(插头) for personal computers or mobile phones．
