A small，happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived，he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway（门口）of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up，and his tail wagged as fast as it could. To his great surprise，he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.

In this same village，another little dog，who was not quite as happy as the other one，decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung（垂下）his head low as he looked into the doorway.

25、We have always been interested in the moon. 2, 000 years ago, people already knew it moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.

In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.

In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

【1】Before 1969 most scientists thought the moon was _____.

A.part of the earth billions of years earlier

B.older than the earth

C.a planet caught by the earth’s gravity

【2】After years of study, most scientists now think _____.

A.the earth was once part of the moon

B.the moon was once part of the earth

C.something about the size of Mars will hit earth in the near future

D.a lot of rocks will slowly join together to become the other moon

【3】From this passage we can learn that _____.

A.scientists in the past were not clever

B.scientists are so clever that they know everything

C.new information brings new ideas

D.we now know everything about the moon

27、Everyone knows that Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too.

The wine festival is actually a battle of the wine, held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only announced as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins(起源) could go back much further. In fact, it was way back in the early part of the 13th century. At that time, Haro had a land dispute(纠纷) with its neighbor in a nearby region. One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the dispute. That day the tradition started and got the name “War of Wine”.

During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning on the outskirts(郊区)of Haro. People are armed with buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the “fight”, because it is easily stained(染色). The “fight” will last for several hours until everyone’s shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.

Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the “fight”!

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Haro?

A．It’s a small town in the south of Spain.

【2】The Haro Wine Festival can be described as ________.

A．hot, short and worldwide

B．wet, interesting and crazy

C．exciting, new and important

D．traditional, quiet and amazing

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

A．To help sell wine in Haro.

B．To encourage people to take a trip to Haro.

C．To show there are a lot of fun festivals in Spain.

D．To let people learn more about the Haro Wine Festival.

【4】Which is the best way to divide the passage?

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you’re playing mobile games or taking a video call, the picture suddenly freezes because the network speed is too ________. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.

These annoying things will soon become a thing of the ________, as China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G networks on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecommunications (电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.

The “G” in “5G” ________ generation (of mobile network technology). 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us mobile data and internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?

First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow you to download an entire HD movie in seconds. The delay between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒), while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.

Because of this ________ in speed, it will be possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to run more ________ because they can smoothly communicate with each other, traffic lights and road sensors (传感器).

5G also makes the internet of things (IoT, 物联网) possible. IoT is a large network that connects nearly everything. ________, your toaster might be able to automatically start making your breakfast after your alarm clock rings.

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.
