（A）
What is 5G? It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. China’s telecom companies have been able
to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users since 2019.
Do you know the development of mobile network technology? 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. 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds
(毫秒) 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 (传感器). 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.
5G+smart homes: 5G also makes the Internet of things (IoT) (物联网) possible. IoT is a large network that
第3页/共11页

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.

(B)
Poverty is a big problem around the world. But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has
found its own way to fight poverty. Instead of just giving money to poor people, it has tried to educate people
and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary people play a big role in the fight.
Here are two of them.
Zhang Guimei, 64
Zhang Guimei has been helping girls pursue education since she traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17. As a
teacher, Zhang was heartbroken when she saw her students quit school after finishing senior high school. They
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司需要更多资料，请加【微信1】 ：educat51 【微信2】 ：studying100
couldn’t go to college because their families couldn’t afford it. So in 2008, Zhang started a free school for poor
girls. Since then, Zhang has been busy asking for donations to provide money for the school. She has convinced
parents to send their daughters back to school. The school has sent more than 1,800 students to universities and
colleges.
Mao Xianglin, 62
When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party secretary of his village, there was only one pathway out of
the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years
to build an eight-kilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield
was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2019,269
villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capita income（人均收入）reached 12,670 yuan, 40 times more
than in the 1990s.
Over the last eight years, 98.99 million rural people have been lifted out of poverty. The 832 counties（县）and
128,000 villages which these people live in are no longer in poverty. China has been responsible for reducing 70
percent of poverty worldwide since the late 1970s.
36. What does the underlined word“yield”mean in Paragraph 3?
A. reduction B. achievement C. production D. sale
37. What do you know about Mao Xianglin according to the text?
A. He works as a teacher in the village.
B. He did two things to help the villagers.
C. He encouraged the villagers to sell oranges.
D. He lent money to villagers so that they could build a road.
38. What is the purpose of using the numbers in the last paragraph?
A. To praise the spirits of model workers.
B. To show great achievements against poverty.
C. To spread the ways of fighting against poverty.
D. To describe the experiences of fighting against poverty.

以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。
“The only constant（不变）in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B.C. That could be more true
today.
___41___ Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day.
Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he/she would have
experienced in his/her whole life.
Why are we afraid of change? ___42___ After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However,
change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when
meeting the unknown. ___43___ To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments
you have no experience with.
___44___ For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small
changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty（不确定）. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more
fully prepared for them.
People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so.
___45___ If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be
successful.
A. That’s because our brains want to protect us.
B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not.
C. We live in a world that is changing every minute.
D. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life.
