When Chris finally brought it to the market, he was surprised that people wanted to pay so much money for it. He asked Lyd
31、ia to weave more. She wove many sails, and Chris wealth grew. He spent his new money on expensive clothing, jewellery, and paintings.

37、ed to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone m
38、ay be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS). The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version(版本) of the system, w
39、hich was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy(
40、精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS. Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40, 000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations(营救行动) at sea. They are able t
41、o communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble. The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, its not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications
42、for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones(无人机) to check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields. Although the
43、BDS is of Chinese origin(起源), the developers have said that “Chinas BeiDou is the worlds BeiDou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fu
44、lly operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world. 36. What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary?calculate /klkjulet/ verb to solve the meaning of something to form an opinion about som
45、ething to specially design a product or an event to work out the results according to the data or cluesA. B. C. D. 37. How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2?A.
