hair might be grey. They need to wear glasses to read. Their memory keeps falling and they forget

Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going

online during the pandemic （疫情）, global （全球的） internet traffic has become a big

problem. Between January and late March, a quarter of major cities experienced an increase in

internet traffic, according to The Verge.

Video meetings （视频会议），online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have

become a lifeline to the outside world. This increase in traffic is testing the internet’s strength. In

March, major phone networks in the UK experienced mass out outages（断供）. People were not

able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data, according to the Guardian.

In the US, major telecommunications（电信） companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21

percent month over month. Video streaming services like YouTube, Netflix and Facebook have

cut their picture qualities（质量） and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network

traffic jams.

China has seen an internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019.

The country’s network speeds went down sharply in early February, reported Xinhua. However,

they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well.

This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure（基础设施），especially 5G

technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has

given Chinese networks the power to w ithstand increased traffic, China Daily said.

“If there were no such development in the internet network field, people could hardly enjoy

such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly

（顺畅地）,” Wen Ku, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told

Xinhua.

( )58.What problem does the story highlight?

A. Digital products can’t work well. B. There are serious traffic jams on the road

C. There is high demand for new kinds of entertainment

D. There is more internment traffic because of the virus

( )59. How were internet networks affected by the virus?

A. The US had the heaviest network traffic in March

B. Many people couldn’t use phone networks in the UK in March

C. YouTube and Netflix users couldn’t watch videos

D. China’s network speeds went down sharply in March

( )60. What does the underlined word “withstand” Probably mean in Paragraph 5?
