Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel (化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.
To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles(EVs，电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.
Last year, over 40 percent of the 753，000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.
“Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging(充电) an electric car，” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.
However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.
Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31，000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167，000 charging piles in total.
Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.
“As China goes, so will the world's car industry，” The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.
63. What did Wu Hao think of charging an electric car?
A. It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
B. It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
C. It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
D. It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
64. Which country has the world's largest EV charging network now?
A. America. B. Germany. C. China. D. England.
65. What is the passage mainly about?
A. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.
B. Electric cars will disappear in the future.
C. There is no problem using electric cars.
D. How to deal with air pollution.

5G networks have been considered as one big thing for this century. They allow people to get faster services. Downloading information takes only seconds, instead of minutes.

The speeds, about 20 times faster than the standard home Internet connection, are very likely to do wonders in our living rooms. Many users are tired of spending $100 or more monthly in booking cable (有线的) TV. They no more choose cable TV and begin to use streaming (在线播放) services connected to their broadband (宽带) service instead.
Besides faster access, connectivity might get a little cheaper in future for users only if a complete 5G network is set up. However, the cost of programs and apps will go up. Meanwhile, users are in great need of ordering more monthly services. Comparatively speaking, users are likely to pay more for 5G services.

__②__ The 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (带宽) and we can get unlimited (无限的) information.
Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.
__③__ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there.

They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends.

The People's Bank of China upgraded the fifth edition(版本)of the renminbi (RMB)from August 30, 2019. These banknotes(纸币) have brighter colors and new security features(防伪特征).
We've been using banknotes for around 1, 000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people made the world's earliest paper money to replace(代替)metal coins. These banknotes were called jiaozi.
Paper money is cheaper to make and easier to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other forms of money. But now, in the digital( 数码的)age, paper money seems to be disappearing for the same reason.
China seems to be heading towards becoming a cashless(不用现金的) society. From supermarkets to street stores, people pay by using the WeChat Wallet and Alipay apps on their mobile phones. Sweden is even closer to a future without paper money. Many Swedish banks no longer even have cash on hand.
But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say it is unfair to the poor and people without much education. It's not easy for them to open bank accounts(账户)or deal with mobile phones. And if all of your money is “digital”， it may not be safe enough.
Is paper money going away? Although paper money is used less than electronic payment (电子支付) in some countries, it won't disappear at once in most parts of the world.
73. When was the fifth edition of RMB upgraded? (不超过10个词)

74. Why is paper money more popular than other forms of money？(不超过10个词)
