21、Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

China just issued commercial licenses for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China's telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.

Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What's special about 5G?

5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. 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 is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.

5G + entertainment

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.

Also, virtual reality(VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G + transport

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors. 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.

5G + smart homes

5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.

For example, your toaster can automatically start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.

【1】What's the writer's purpose in writing the third paragraph?

A．To explain 5G is the best of all.

B．To share his knowledge about 5G.

C．To encourage people to use the new network technology.

D．To show the development of mobile network technology.

【2】What does the underlined word “delay” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

A．卡顿

B．延时

C．暂停

D．掉线

【3】Which of the following ways is not mentioned that 5G will change people's lives?

B．Entertainment.

C．Transport.

D．Smart homes.

【4】What will people do possibly with 5G according to the passage?

A．Download a movie in minutes.

B．Put everything onto the Internet.

C．Make self-driving cars safer.

D．Make food more easily and faster.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．5G will change our lives in many ways.

B．Mobile networks are changing for better.

C．5G will make the Internet of things possible.

D．5G networks for mobile phone users are coming.

22、Two parents in very different circumstances (境况) told me their worries. One was a Google executive in New York City, who said, “I’m worried that my kids are growing up with too much money. How do I keep them from throwing their money around?” The second was a single mom from Los Angeles. She explained that her son was asking her for $150 jeans so that he could fit in with the cool crowd, and she didn’t know what to do.

To both parents I gave the same answer: Start talking about the value of money, the same way you’d teach your kid to tell the truth or be kind to others. Make sure they know what matters most to your family when it comes to money. Yes, we could afford fancy jeans, but they're not a priority for us.

When it comes to day-to-day lessons, the best way to teach your kids the value of a dollar is to give them actual dollars. When my daughter was 13, she wanted to go shopping with friends for back-to-school clothes. The other parents gave their girls a credit card or a debit card (借记卡) with a spending limit. Me? I embarrassed my daughter by handing her $50 … in cash. The reason: I knew that when she got to the checkout line with more than $50 worth of goods, she’d have to make hard choices and put something back.

Additionally, sometimes it’s what you don’t do for your kid that counts. I will never forget the brave audience member at an event who asked me the question: “Should I get my son an Amex Platinum card? All his friends use theirs to get into first-class airport lounges (等候室)when they travel.” “No,” I said. Always remember, you’ re the parent. You set the rules. And the rules will determine how your kid values money in the future.

【1】What worried the first two parents?

A．How to instruct their kids to make money.

B．How to teach their kids the value of money.

C．How to refuse their kids’ requests for more money.

D．How to raise their kids with small amounts of money.

【2】What do the underlined words “a priority” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．The most valuable gift.

B．A way to hide the truth.

C．The most important thing.

D．An excuse to please others.

【3】What suggestion does the author give to parents in paragraph 3?

A．Letting their kids pay in cash.

B．Limiting their kids’ pocket money.

C．Asking their kids to report their spending.

D．Reminding their kids to make a shopping list.

【4】What message did the author have for the audience after saying “No”?

A．Parents should protect their kids’ self-respect.

B．Parents should be strict about their kids’ spending.

C．Parents should help their kids fit in with their friends.

D．Parents should spend money wisely to influence their kids

23、Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students' academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.

Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.

Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student's sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.

Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.

The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.

【1】What can we learn about education with music classes?

A．It does good to students' academic success and spiritual health.

B．It can cause a lot of academic problems.

C．It will affect the world cultural communication greatly.

D．It allows schools to make more money.

【2】What do the two studies seem to show?

A．Students with great success attend music lessons.

B．Not all students could have music classes at school.

C．Music classes play an important role in students' growth.

D．Students who have music classes do better in all subjects.

【3】What does the example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest?

A．Japan has a good relationship with America.

B．Music makes cross-cultural communication possible.

C．Different cultures have different styles of music.

D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．How to Get Music Back

B．Music—A Bridge to Understanding

C．Studies on Music Education

D．The Importance of Music Classes in School

24、In my whole life I was frightened by doctors. So when I recently launched a series of writing and publishing courses, I was shocked to find among my students several physicians, the same profession as my father. And they all wanted to be writers. Whenever someone mentioned their medical background, I’d think: I have to call Dad to tell him, but I couldn’t.

Raised up in a big Michigan family with three brilliant loud science brain brothers, I’d always felt left out by their Disease Game at dinner, where Dad threw out cases for them to diagnose. Our house was their laboratory. I was frequently scared by bees in jars in the refrigerator and pet rats.

Getting to study medicine was always Dad’s dream, so he encouraged the boys to follow in his footsteps. But I never truly settled down, chasing my dream for literary here and there. My father opposed my liberalism. I was overjoyed when Random House published my humorous memoirs (回忆录) about my past addictions. My father wasn’t so joyful. “You’re bringing disgrace on our family,” he snapped.

At 87, when my father was admitted to hospital with heart and kidney failure, we had a rare afternoon alone. Sitting by his bed, I apologized for taking so long to figure out my life.

“I have a lot of regrets,” he said, “It took me too long to make a decent living, screwing up jobs because of my bullheadedness and big mouth.”

I was nervous when his physician Olaf emailed me, but it wasn’t bad news. “Your dad says you’re a professor who helps people publish. Could you help me?” he asked.

“What did you tell Olaf about me?” I questioned Dad that night, still surprised.

“That you stuck to your guns and became a success,” he said.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me that?”

“I’m telling you now,” he said. He was pleased when I helped Olaf publish his first magazine piece.

I wish Dad were here so I could share the latest stories by my physician students. But I lost him four years ago. In a way, he still is, as I channel everything he taught me about hard work, and never giving up doing what you love.

【1】What do we know about the author’s brothers?

A．They used to make loud noise.

B．They were addicted to playing games.

C．They were interested in medicine.

D．They distanced the author on purpose.

【2】What do the underlined words “screwing up” probably mean?

A．Taking over.

B．Focusing on.

C．Contributing to.

D．Messing up.

【3】Why did Dad recommend the author to Olaf?

A．To help Olaf publish articles.

B．To discuss his physical condition.

C．To promote the author’s courses.

D．To share the author’s memoirs.

【4】Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad?

A．Enthusiastic but dishonest.

B．Modest but demanding.

C．Conservative but loving.

D．Helpful but selfish.

25、In our living room, we have a bookshelf. We call it the “______ treasury” because any of our guests can take any book from it and ______ any book to it. Our home often hosts events with hundreds of different people passing through it. But no one ______ where the books come or go; it’s all based on trust.

These books are typically of the ______ types--from Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup For the Soul, self-help books like Power of Now, to Romain Rolland’s The Biography of Celebrity. You can’ really be ______ what you’ll find on a particular day.

The other day, I ______ a red book. It stood out because it had special little white hearts on it and no title. I checked out Page one. It ______ a hand-written inscription (题词) in black ink:

To: DJ Burrowes

From: Grandma and Grandpa Burrowes

I quickly opened up a ______ page in the book. I spotted a quote, with a crossed out word written in the seemingly ______ handwriting of elderly Grandma or Grandpa Burrowes. Then I couldn’t wait to explore the inside. ______, every page had a hand-written quote by DJ’s grandparents. It was a(n) ______ of Grandparents’ quotes going back over many years! They had given it to their grandson and now, DJ had given it to us. It was this gift that ______ all of us!

A couple of weeks back, DJ decided to leave America to go on an open-ended trip to China. Before leaving, he came for an ______ at our place, putting this book on the shelf without letting us know. He offered his silent ______ in this way for what he benefited from our sharing. We stood in ______ of the Burrowes for what they left us.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Prepare for Water Day Zero

Earlier this year alarming headlines blared that Cape Town, South Africa, was headed for Water Day Zero — the date when the city's taps would go dry because its reservoirs would become dangerously low on water. That day — originally expected in mid-April 2018 — has been postponed until at least 2019, thanks to water rationing and a welcome rainy season. But the conditions that led to this desperate situation will inevitably occur again, hitting cities all over the planet.

As the climate warms, extreme droughts and vanishing water supplies will likely become more common. But even without the added impact of climate change, normal rainfall variation plays an enormous role in year-to-year water availability. These ordinary patterns now have extraordinary effects because urban populations have had tremendous growth: by 2050 the United Nations projects that two thirds of the world's people will live in cities. Urban planners and engineers need to learn from past rainfall variability to improve their predictions and take future demand into account to build more resilient infrastructure.

How did Cape Town get into a Water Day Zero situation? The city gets its water from six reservoirs in Western Cape province, which usually fill up during the rainy season, from May through August. But since 2015 the region has been suffering from the worst drought in a century, and the water in those reservoirs dwindled (减少) dangerously. Compounding the problem, Cape Town's population has grown substantially, increasing demand. The city actually did a pretty good job of keeping demand low by reducing leaks in the system, a major cause of water waste, and has even won awards for its conservation policies. But the government of South Africa was slow to declare a national disaster in the areas hit hardest by the drought, paving the way for the recent crisis.

Fortunately, steps can be taken to avoid urban water crises. In general, a combination of approaches that relies on multiple water sources is probably most effective. Cape Town has already begun implementing a number of projects, including tapping groundwater and building water-recycling plants.

The global community has an opportunity right now to take action to prevent a series of Water Day Zero crises. If we don't act, many cities may soon face a time when there isn't a drop to drink.
