This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster，but also deeply change our lives For example ，5 G will make self﹣driving cars possible.For safety，self﹣driving cars need super﹣fast data transmission（传输）to communicate with their nearby environment.5 G is just what makes self﹣driving cars achieve this.Even airplanes will become "smart" in the near future.Passengers will be able to use 5 G networks in the air to connect to the Internet or order food and drinks. 5 G will be a big help for students who take online classes.In the world，many people live in poor areas where there are no schools.But with 5 G.this will change.Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms. In addition 5 G will be used in hospitals.It will be easier for doctors to care for patients who live far away by 5 G. However，5 G has its own weaknesses.According to China National Radio，though 5 G will make our lives easier，it will not be perfect.For one thing，5 G will not "travel" far.On 4 G networks，you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission center and connect the Internet easily.But 5 G will only cover about 300 meters.And in order to use 5 G，we will have to buy new products specifically designed for 5 G that are expensive at present. （1）The underlined word "delay" in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to " 　 　". A．the distance to cover B．the waiting time C．the connecting time D．the length to change （2）What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？ 　 　 A．How 5 G will change our lives. B．What discussion 5 G has caused. C．Why 5 G is the faster network. D．What weaknesses 5 G has to overcome. （3）What can you learn from the passage？ 　 　 A．5 G travels faster and farther than 4 G. B．5 G has covered many cities in China. C．5 G will make self﹣driving less safe. D．5 G may cost more as a new technology. （4）What is the purpose of the passage？ 　 　 A．To encourage people to use 5 G in their lives. B．To introduce people to the technology of 5 G. C．To explain how 5 G has changed people's lives. D．To describe the development of 5 G in China. 30．（8分）The summer before my junior year in high school，my family and I took a trip to a completely new world.Being from a small town，I had never really been to a large city such as New York City. As we stood waiting for a taxi outside of the airport，it was clear to me that New York City was not the same as New Caney，Texas.It seemed like everyone there was in a hurry to get to another place.The loud sound of cars was heard throughout the whole trip.When we found our hotel in Times Square，I noticed that it wasn't just the cars that were in a hurry.Everyone in the streets was walking quickly to be somewhere.Just standing and watching the many people rushing their own ways was an interesting thing. In addition to the people and transportation，the buildings were also wonderful sight.Each street was crammed with buildings that were built side by side with no room in between，and a number of skyscrapers were present throughout the city as well.The stores were also large compared to the ones of my little town.A small shop in New York would be a huge store that took up a whole building in New Caney. For the first time in my life，I was in what the real world is like.The transportation，the huge skyscrapers，and all of the thousands of people made me anxious（渴望）to grow up and perhaps move to a city such as this one.Either way，my first trip to New York was one of the most unusual experiences of my life，one I will always value. （1）According to the author，New Caney is 　 　.

Young peregrine.falcons begin learning how to fly when they are about five or six weeks old.It takes about a week for the parents to teach them.In natural areas，it is a bit safer for the young birds to take the risks that come with learning to fly.In cities，it can be more dangerous because they can hit the buildings or fly into traffic. In.Salt Lake City，volunteers （志愿者） put on bright orange vests （背心）to protect themselves as they keep an eye on the young birds.These volunteers actually put themselves in danger to save the birds.For example，if a young peregrine falcon accidentally flies into traffic，one volunteer stops traffic.Another tries to catch the bird and move it out of harm's way. Bob Walters，one of the volunteers，joins a group of more than 20 people interested in the peregrine falcons.They give some basic training on what will need to be done once the young birds start flying.Jon Everts has been volunteering for several years.He says he keeps coming back because it's one of the world's fastest birds. Many birdwatchers in the area heard about the nests and the young falcons.Some of them came out to help.Others just wanted to watch as the babies took their first flights.The volunteers are right to be worried about the young falcons.In the last few years，people counted 16 young peregrine falcons around downtown Salt Lake City.Only 11 of those birds continued to live.Of the 11 birds，six were helped by volunteers. These numbers help the volunteers remember that the work they are doing really makes a difference.Some of them work 12﹣hour days to protect the peregrine falcons and their families.However，when the volunteers see a new generation （一代） of falcons that are ready to leave home，it makes all their work meaningful. （1）What is Salt Lake City famous for now？ 　 　 （2）Why is it dangerous for young peregrine falcons to learn to fly in cities？ 　 　 （3）If a young peregrine falcon flies into traffic，what do volunteers do？ 　 　 （4）What does Jon Everts think of the peregrine falcons？ 　 　 （5）What is the last paragraph mainly about？ 　 　 五.选词填空（每小题 2 分，共 20 分） 32．（6分） assist different intelligent （1）What is the 　 　 between a dolphin and a porpoise？ （2）The fact that apes use tools shows they have great 　 　. （3）Whales will often give 　 　 to other whales that are in danger. 33．（6分）control+ in out of under （1）If you are 　 　 control of a company，you have the power to make important decisions about the way it is run. （2）If a situation is 　 　 control，it is being dealt with successfully and is unlikely to cause any problems. （3）If something is 　 　control，it cannot be dealt with successfully. 34．（8分）break+ into out of up with down （1）If you break 　 　your boyfriend or girlfriend，your relationship with that person ends. （2）If we break 　 　 a difficult job，we divide it into smaller parts so that it will be easier for us to do. （3）If a person break 　 　 prison，they escape from it. （4）If someone breaks 　 　 building，they enter it by force. 参考答案 一.单项选择（每小题1分，共 26 分） 1．A。 2．B。 3．B． 4．C。 5．C。 6．B。 7．D。 8．B。 9．A。 10．C。 11．B。 12．D。 13．A。 14．B。 15．C。 16．A。 17．B。 18．C。 19．C。 20.
