China’s first overpass for wildlife migration has already come into use. Lying over the     1     (new) constructed National Highway 216, the bridge is able to link animal habitats     2     (separate) by the road.

The national highway     3     (design) with the environmental protection as a top priority. Based on years of     4     (science) observation of wildlife migration in the region, the bridge was built with the purpose of reducing the highway’s effect     5     the animals. The wildlife overpasses and underpasses let animals     6     (cross) over or under busy roadways safely and allow them to use     7     (they)customary paths, which would otherwise be blocked. Those passageways, with     8     total length of 59 kilometers, enable antelopes and other animals to go across the railway freely.

So far, China     9     (put) great effort into achieving harmonious coexistence between human development and the protection of wildlife. The Qinghai—Tibet Railway,     10     is the world’s highest railroad, has 33 underpasses for the migrating animals.

Just only fifteen years     1     (early), getting from one city to another left travelers with very few choices. And now all of that     2     (change)a lot.

Take taking a trip from Shanghai to Beijing as an example. For those under the pressures of the clock,     3     quickest and most convenient mode of travel would be the plane. New airports have sprung up in every major province,     4     (open) up ways to go to areas of China,     5     are left unexplored by previous (先前的)foreign travels.

But if the price of planes is a bit high     6     if the fear of heights gets you down, taking a bullet train (动车)is a great way. The bullet railway is just     7     (hard) longer than the plane trip and watching city and countryside views from the window is an experience in     8     (it).

And the choices don't stop there. Why not take the wheel yourself? Nowadays car rental is easy and inexpensive. The newly paved roads are welcoming and GPS systems are just as advanced (先进)     9     any international area. Take to the back-roads and explore the different     10     (part)of the countryside, which have taken a great jump in living standards.

In the closing ceremony of the 2018 0lympic Winter Games. China put on "See You in Beijing in 2022", directed by Zhang Yimou. The show centered on the talents of a team of 24 roller-skating     1    (perform) from Beijing Sport University. Two of them    2    (dress) as "Panda Captains" led the performance. The performance reviewed China's ancient times,     3    (show) the country's rich cultural heritage (遗产)and singing about the present. as well as the future that     4    (lie) ahead.

In addition to traditional symbols including the Great Wall and lucky animals    5    the Chinese dragon and the Chinese phoenix, the performance also showed China's recent engineering and    6    (technology) achievements. Towards the end of the performance, the Olympic rings     7    (rise) on the stage, as well as images of a global village, children's smiling faces, olive branches and plum blossoms(梅花),    8    stood for China's promise to promote global peace and building a better future for mankind. Finally, the skaters travelled a path on ice     9    (draw) the “Winter Dream" sign of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. The performance     10    (successful) sent Chinese people's goodwill and invitations to the world for Beijing 2022.

What’s black and white,     1     (weigh) half a pound and is popular in China?

In the final days     2     the Beijing Olympics began, it seemed as though the Chinese public might     3     (hard) even notice the competitions. Streets     4     (decorate) with red Lunar New Year lanterns, not the five rings of the Olympics. Coronavirus precautions also made     5     hard to organize Olympics viewing parties.

Nobody expected a shortage of stuffed pandas when China won the rights     6     (host) the 2022 Winter Olympics. Now though,     7     unexpected buying frenzy (热潮) has emerged for Olympics memorabilia (纪念品). Most popular of all is an 8-inch-tall plush stuffed animal version of the Beijing Olympics mascot — Bing DwenDwen, a rotund panda     8     a suit of ice. Long lines form at official Olympics memorabilia stores every morning to buy     9     (limit) stocks. Jiang Chao, a Beijing resident, said that the design of Bing DwenDwen appealed to adults as well as children. He also saw national pride in the panda’s     10     (popular).

Time to Upgrade Phone? You Bet!

“Is it high time to buy a 5G phone now or should I wait?” this question     1     (throw) at me constantly by friends ever since China commercialized 5G last October.

First of all, China now has a wide 5G coverage, which makes     2     convenient for consumers to use 5G smartphones. Currently, 5G signals are available in all prefecture-level cities in China, and     3     (consume) in more than 300 cities are able to access 5G signals when they are in subways,     4     (take) a walk in parks or shopping at malls.

Moreover, telecom carriers have announced their plans to cover key counties and towns     5     5G signals next year, which will attract more people to 5G smartphones.

At the same time, the prices of 5G data packages are also dropping     6     (significant) from the starting price of more than 120 yuan ($18.3) per month at the start of this year to about 90 yuan now, making the tech     7     (afford) for more people to enjoy the 5G service. There are more 5G smartphone models to choose from — some of them may remain much too expensive,     8     the cheapest one now costs only 999 yuan.

China’s big three telecom carriers are also working on a new 5G-enabled messaging service, which is designed to replace current short messages with a system     9     is richer, provides phone book polling, and can transmit in-call multimedia.

So, yes, it’s high time that I     10     (buy) a 5G smartphone indeed.

So rapidly does the technology develop that no one can predict what may happen in the future. The number of 5G users in China has reached 20 percent, which leaves the people in the world    1    (amaze). In China, operators are quick to provide constant nationwide coverage,     2     (ensure) users a consistent experience. They also offer flexible service packages that delivers a beneficial result for both users and    3     (they).

High-quality 5G networks    4     (drive) rapid growth of mobile data traffic so far, according to Ding Yun, Huawei’s executive director. As is estimated, the average data traffic per user per month will reach 600 GB by 2030. As a consequence    5    this, the energy consumption of wireless networks will    6     (definite) increase a lot of energy efficiency of existing networks remains unchanged. However, it is confirmed that Huawei has offered a comprehensive range of products and measures,     7    will deal with the power consumption issues of wireless networks.

Huawei has already employed low-carbon    8     (strategy) in more than 100 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Greece, Pakistan and Switzerland, helping operators reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 million tons. As    9    important player in the communications industry, Huawei will continue to put green development at the center of everything it does and develop innovative ways to build    10     (green) 5G networks worldwide than before.
