decoding,image signal processing and screen display.The 8K TVs have a screen resolution ratio
that is 4.3 times clearer than human eyesight and four times higher than the 4K ones.8K UHD

"5G offers technological support for the adoption of 8K,while 8K is one of the best
application scenarios of the superfast wireless technology,said Wu Wei,chief engineer of
Skyworth.adding 5G has the advantages of high speed,large capacity and low latency,which
brings about a good opportunity for the popularization of 8K ultra-high definition TV.And the

opportunities.The broadcasting of sporting events via 8K equipment has also motivated people to

Like a lot of science fiction fans,I read William Gibson's novel Neuromancer not long after it
came out in 1984 and,for decades,I had been wondering how he was able to imagine the future
when the technologies he wrote about had barely been invented,until I eventually had an
opportunity to interview him in the fall of 2020.
During the interview.I asked how he could see the future of the Internet in 1984,when no one
other than a few geeks (had heard of it and whether he had been to scientific talks.
"I have never read or listened to the tech leaders'talks about new technologies,"he replied
"I would rather sit in a room full of either artists or criminals.Their talks would be more helpful
with my writing”
As a journalist who has reported on Silicon Valley (for 15 years.I found his comment
really convincing.I've sat through press conferences and interviews with many famous tech
leaders-Mark Zuckerberg.Steve Jobs,Marissa Mayer and many others.I never heard Zuckerberg

predict fake (news or Steve Jobs worry about iPhone addiction
"These men are driven by an ideal of how much their technology will change people's lives
or by promises of a lot of money,or both.But one thing is clear:They usually avoid talking about
what might happen when their inventions hit the real world,"Gibson explained."On the other
hand,artists are more about holding a mirror up to society and showing us how we behave with the
new tools we are given,while criminals are in effect businessmen without brakes.who will look
at whatever the latest technology is and think what they can do with it.Neither of them is bound by
social conventions at all.
Since the interview.I have decided to take a page out of William Gibson's playbook and will
go and find some artists or criminals and see what they are going to do with any new technology as
soon as it appears in the news.

D.They tend to be too optimistic about their inventions.
答案:D推理判断题。根据第五段中的“These men are driven.hit the real world可推知,
