His parents helped him get in touch with the school. “My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess,” Li said. Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. “Chess can help with kids' logical (逻辑的) thinking. They love the chess class very much,” said Li. “They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so happy!” Before leaving, Li Ziqi visited his students’ homes. One father went to town to buy tea drinks for him. “I was so moved by these people when I saw the drinks. I know it is a kind of expensive thing for the family,” Li said. Li also learned important life lessons. “The kids there live a hard life, but they are hopeful about the future. 8 That helps me get over hard things in life,” Li said. 48.

C One day, a student asks his teacher, “What is greed (贪婪)?” The teacher doesn’t answer his question directly, but asks the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he can find. But there is a rule: as he passes through the factory, he cannot turn back. The student goes to the chocolate factory. As he walks, he sees a large chocolate bar. He likes it, but thinks he may be able to find an even bigger one if he keeps going. He keeps walking and sees another chocolate bar. This one is a little bigger. But again, he thinks he can find an even bigger one if he keeps going. As he nears the end of the factory, he sees fewer chocolate bars, and none of them are as large as the earlier ones. He starts to regret his decision to keep going. Finally, he gives up. He goes back to his teacher empty-handed and explains what happens. The teacher tells him, “you 9 like the first chocolate bar, but you keep looking for a bigger one. And later, you realize that you give up the best chocolate bar because you think you can do better. That is called greed.” Sometimes, we let go of good things in our life because we think we can find something even better. You should learn to make your choices wisely. 51.

Can you see a small “5G” at the top? Do you know what it is? 5G means “5th generation mobile network (第五代移 动通信技术)”. Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. In 1980s, with 1G, we made phone calls for the first time. Around ten years later, 2G let us send messages. Then in 2000s, using the Internet listening to music and sending emails appeared in people’s life for 3G. Later, we could watch 10 films and even buy things in 2010s with 4G. To our surprise, 5G is coming now. Do you have online classes at home? With 5G, you can have classes outside your home. The class can go as well as the ones you have at home. Students from poor areas can have the chance to study just like you do. In some movies, you might see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this may appear in our life. It makes self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other. They can also “talk” to traffic lights. 5G will make cars move even faster than human drivers. 5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download (下载) a movie in seconds using 5G, and makes your video calls clearer. What’s more, VR games will become more popular with 5G. It will make the games feel even more real. All in all, 5G will change the way people live and make our life more comfortable and convenient than ever before. You won’t have to wait too long to enjoy it. Now you can buy a new mobile phone to use 5G networks. 5G phones cost about 8,000 yuan right now. But experts say that about one and a half years later, the price could go down to around 2000 yuan. Why not try 5G? 54. The writer mentions ________ in this passage. A. 1G appeared in 1990s B. 2G let us make calls for the first time C. 3G made people start using the Internet D. 4G helps download a movie in seconds 55. From the passage, we can ________ with 5G. ① have online classes ②have self-driving cars ③see a doctor at home 11 ④ study better ⑤make video calls clearer A.①②③ B.②④⑤ C.①②⑤ D.①④⑤ 56. To show how 5G changes our lives, the writer mainly ________. A.tells stories B.gives definitions (定义) C.gives numbers D.gives examples 57.

Li Ziqi, a 13-year-old boy from Chengdu Xichuan Middle School, Sichuan, volunteered(志愿做) to teach school students in a village. Li joined a teaching activity in Xichang county, Sichuan, last summer. “I read the news that teachers were not enough in the village, so I wanted to give some classes to the kids there,” said Li. His parents helped him get in touch with the school. “My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess,” Li said. Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. “Chess can help with kids' logical (逻辑的) thinking. They love the chess class very much,” said Li. “They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so happy!” Before leaving, Li Ziqi visited his students’ homes. One father went to town to buy tea drinks for him. “I was so moved by these people when I saw the drinks. I know it is a kind of expensive thing for the family,” Li said. Li also learned important life lessons. “The kids there live a hard life, but they are hopeful about the future. That helps me get over hard things in life,” Li said. 48. Why did Li go and teach at a village school? A. Because he wanted to be with children. B. Because it is a teaching activity of his school. C.

C One day, a student asks his teacher, “What is greed (贪婪)?” The teacher doesn’t answer his question directly, but asks the student to walk through the chocolate factory next to their school and pick out the biggest chocolate bar he can find. But there is a rule: as he passes through the factory, he cannot turn back. The student goes to the chocolate factory. As he walks, he sees a large chocolate bar. He likes it, but thinks he may be able to find an even bigger one if he keeps going. He keeps walking and sees another chocolate bar. This one is a little bigger. But again, he thinks he can find an even bigger one if he keeps going. As he nears the end of the factory, he sees fewer chocolate bars, and none of them are as large as the earlier ones. He starts to regret his decision to keep going. Finally, he gives up. He goes back to his teacher empty-handed and explains what happens. The teacher tells him, “you like the first chocolate bar, but you keep looking for a bigger one. And later, you realize that you give up the best chocolate bar because you think you can do better. That is called greed.” Sometimes, we let go of good things in our life because we think we can find something even better. You should learn to make your choices wisely. 51.

Can you see a small “5G” at the top? Do you know what it is? 5G means “5th generation mobile network (第五代移动通信技术)”. Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. In 1980s, with 1G, we made phone calls for the first time. Around ten years later, 2G let us send messages. Then in 2000s, using the Internet listening to music and sending emails appeared in people’s life for 3G. Later, we could watch films and even buy things in 2010s with 4G. To our surprise, 5G is coming now. Do you have online classes at home? With 5G, you can have classes outside your home. The class can go as well as the ones you have at home. Students from poor areas can have the chance to study just like you do. In some movies, you might see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this may appear in our life. It makes self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other. They can also “talk” to traffic lights. 5G will make cars move even faster than human drivers. 5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download (下载) a movie in seconds using 5G, and makes your video calls clearer. What’s more, VR games will become more popular with 5G. It will make the games feel even more real. All in all, 5G will change the way people live and make our life more comfortable and convenient than ever before. You won’t have to wait too long to enjoy it. Now you can buy a new mobile phone to use 5G networks. 5G phones cost about 8,000 yuan right now. But experts say that about one and a half years later, the price could go down to around 2000 yuan. Why not try 5G? 54. The writer mentions ________ in this passage.
