5G工作站继续迅速发展

China leads the world in 5G base stations， users and penetration rates， significantly boosting its digital economy， said experts and officials， who also emphasized the potential of integrating 5G terminals with AI technology for further growth.

Looking ahead， 5G development will require further efforts to innovate technologies and applications in intelligent 5G， 5G broadband， 5G RedCap or reduced capability， and proactive adaptation， they said.

China had built a total of 3.748 million 5G base stations， with more than 26 stations per 10，000 people， by the end of April， said the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Over 30，000 5G private networks for industries have been established， it said.

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology （CAICT） estimated that over the past five years， 5G commercialization in China has directly generated approximately 5.6 trillion yuan （$772 billion） in economic output and indirectly driven around 14 trillion yuan in output， significantly contributing to high-quality economic and social development.

Hu Jianbo， deputy head of the CAICT， said that 5G has boosted the development of various industries. Hu highlighted that 5G has penetrated 74 of the 97 major sectors of the national economy， with an industry penetration rate over 76 percent.

He also mentioned that Chinese companies have maintained a leading position in the global 5G base station equipment market for five consecutive years， with a global market share of 55 percent and sales in over 75 countries and regions. China’s shipments of 5G phones accounted for 50 percent of the global total by April.

Wu Hequan， an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering， pointed to the significant potential in integrating 5G terminals with AI technology. The AI integration of 5G terminals， including smartphones， personal computers， virtual reality devices and industrial modules， is progressing toward embedding large models. One example is Apple’s partnership with OpenAI’s ChatGPT， announced this week， to boost its voice assistance and operating system.

1.D。解析：细节理解题。材料第三段的第一句提到“中国共建设了374.8万个5G基站，每1万人拥有超过26个5G基站”，由此可知平均大约每380人拥有1个5G基站，故选D。

2.A。解析：词义猜测题。材料第五段画线词所在的句子的大意为“胡强调，5G 已经渗透到国民经济97个主要部门中的74个，行业渗透率超过76% ”。由此可知，“penetrated”应有“渗入、渗透”之意。A选项“进入”与材料内容相符，故选A。

3.C。解析：推理判断题。材料第四段主要讲述5G 商业化所产生的国内经济效益，材料第五段主要讲述5G在国内各行各业中所起的作用。综合起来看，这两段讲述的是5G发展在国内所带来的益处，故选C。

4.B。解析：观点态度题。材料最后一段的第一句提到“中国工程院院士吴和全认为5G终端与人工智能技术相结合具有巨大潜力”，B选项“有希望的、有前途的”与材料内容相符，故选B。
