24、

If you look at the top of your phone ,you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" of your mobile network.But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G fully arrives.

On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.Monaco became the first country in Europe to use a next-generation 5G mobile phone network based on technology from Chinese company Huawei.

It sounds obvious, but it’s important to understand just how much faster 5G is compared to current 4G speeds. 5G will not only be many, many times faster than your existing connection, it will be greatly faster than the broadband connection you have at home.

Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds* to send and receive data.But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less.This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster. It can be used in many other ways as well.

For example,5G will help to make self-driving cars safer.Today's self ﹣ driving test cars have one problem ﹣ lag.When the car"sees"an obstacle*, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer,according to CNN.

5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people.Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with IOT under 5G, your fridge could automatically* place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen. Though we’ve seen a lot of positive progress just in the last year, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as common as 4G is right now.

【1】From Paragraph ②, we can know that _______.

A.5G is widely used in Shanghai

B.it took lots of efforts to test 5G

C.China and Monaco is working on its 5G networks

D.5G would make it possible to take videos

【2】The underlined word "lag" probably means " _______" in Chinese.

A.延迟 B.迷路 C.暂停 D.耗电

【3】The fridge is mentioned to _______.

A.describe the importance of IOT

B.encourage people to try the new product

C.introduce how to use the Internet of Things

D.show 5G would make IOT more powerful

【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？

A.Can 5G Go Far？

B.How is 5G Changing Our Life？

C.5G is on the Way

D.China is Leading the World in 5G

25、The world’s largest reef (礁), the Great Barrier Reef, has lost more than half of its coral (珊瑚) cover in the past 30 years because of global (全球) warming. The beauty of the Australian coast has been left lifeless.

Scientists have been trying to find ways to save it, and now they may have found a special helping hand---volcanoes(火山).

During a volcano eruption(火山喷发)，wherever hot lava(岩浆) goes, villages and plants are burned right down to the ground. How could it possible save life on Earth?

When the lava goes into the ocean, it quickly cools down and becomes light rocks that can float in the water. For example, in 2006, shortly after the eruption of a volcano near Tanga, a southwest Pacific island, scientists found many large rocks floating on the ocean. These rocks traveled a long way from the island to Australia over the next eight months.

But they didn’t just float during this time—they acted like little lifeboat. Scientists found that the rocks “picked up” more than 80 kinds of corals, crabs and other life animals on their way, before arriving at the Great Barrier Reef.

Once near the reef, these animal “passengers” can easily jump onto the rocks and go to their new home. “It’s like a boat of people landing on an island,” Judith Winston, a biologist at the Virginia Museum of Natural History, US, told Scientific American.

Since volcanoes have been on Earth for all of history, scientists say these “Lifeboats” might have even helped form the Great Barrier Reef in the first place.

【1】What problem does the Great Barrier Reef face?

A. There is less and less coral cover because of global warming.

B. It lies in an area with volcanoes happening now and then.

C. There are no living things on the Great Barrier Reef

D. The Great Barrier Reef is getting smaller and smaller.

【2】Which is the right order of the following event, according to the passage?

(1) Lots of little animals climb onto the rocks.

(2) Many huge light rocks are floating on the ocean.

(3) Lava goes into the ocean after the eruption of a volcano.

(4) Animals move to their new home through the rocks.

A. (4) -- (3) -- (1)-- (2) B. (2)-- (1)-- (4)-- (3)

C. (3 )-- (1)-- (2)-- (4) D. (3)-- (2)-- (1)-- (4)

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef is going away.

B. Volcanoes can help the Great Barrier Reef become lively again.

C. Global warming has a bad influence on the Great Barrier Reef.

D. Save volcanoes, save the Great Barrier Reef

26、阅读理解

 (2013温州)

  It is widely agreed that the overuse of fossil fuels，such as coal and oil has caused serious environmental problems．Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air，the water or the ground．Solar power is one of them．

  Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun，using solar panels．The solar panels are usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildings．It is the family solar power system．Some countries are even beginning to build solar power plants by setting thousands of solar panels in the places where there is enough sunshine．Solar power has many advantages．The power is easy to get and will never be used up．Whenever it is sunny，there is the power．The power is clean and renewable．It helps to reduce waste and pollution，which is great for the environment．In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants，solar power is especially necessary．It enables the people there to use lights，TVs，computers，washing machines，fridges and many other things．

  Therefore，more and more countries，such as China，the USA，Japan and India，encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use．However，the power is not as widely used as expected．

  One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine．Countries or areas with a lot of rain，like the UK，are not suitable to develop such power systems．Secondly，a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity．Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build．What’s more，solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything．

  Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems．Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life．

【1】Solar power is a kind of energy taken from________．

A．the air

B．the sun

C．the water

D．the ground

【2】The underlined word“reduce”probably means________．

A．to make something less

B．to make something better

C．to make something more

D．to make something cleaner

【3】What is the fourth paragraph of the passage mainly about？

A．The ways to use solar power．

B．The advantages of solar power．

C．The places to build the solar power plants．

D．The difficulties of putting solar power to use widely．

【4】What can we learn from the passage？

A．Solar energy itself is expensive．

B．Solar power will be used up very soon．

C．Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy．

D．Solar power is much better than the other energies．

27、   Things You Can Do To Help The Environment.

B.Turn up the heat and turn down the conditioner in order to make the home more comfortable.

C.Don’t let the conditioner in a too low temperature or the heat in a too high temperature.

D.Never turn on the conditioner or the heat.

【3】On average, how many kilograms of trash does each American throw away every week?

A.10. B.30. C.50. D.70.

【4】What can we do to help cut water use?

A.Think it carefully. B.Use public transportation.

C.Take shorter showers. D.Buy a “high-flow” showerhead.

【5】Where is the text most probably from?

A.A school introduction. B.A website for kids at kindergarten.

C.A science report. D.A shopping poster.

All a【1】 the world, people drink tea. But tea doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very d【2】 ideas about drinking tea.
