We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future.5G promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than 4G systems. Such improvements are sure to be popular with 5G users worldwide.While it is set to start only in just a few areas of the United States this year,much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive this service until 2023. One project in Britain,though,is already testing this superfast technology,but not on humans.Instead,the experimental subjects are an unlikely group of Internet users--cows. The system connects the animals to5 G in an effort to automate(使自动化)the milking process. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems.Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England.The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system.The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. 高二英语期中考试第5页共12页 System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks towards an automatic gate.The device is designed to recognise each cow.It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking.During the process,machines offer food for the cow as a reward. One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet in southwest England.There,about 50 of the farm's180 cows are fitted with5 G smart collars(智能项圈)and ear sensors.Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors help farmers immediately find problems or health concerns. Duncan Forbes.the project leader,told Reuters that so far,he thinks the project shows the farm's cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology. Forbes added that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future "not just on farms,but in rural communities right across the country”. 28.What do we know about 5G technology from the first two paragraphs? A.It has changed our lives B.It has more users than 4G. C.It has not been widely used. D.It has been used on cows in the US. 29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The introduction of 5G devices. B.The milking process with 5G technology. C.The purpose of system designers. D.The way machines provide cows with food. 30.Why are some cows equipped with ear sensors? A.To recognise every cow. B.To tell their position. C.To reduce the harm from devices. D.To find their health problems. 31.What is Forbes'attitude to the future of 5G technology? A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Worried. D.Uncaring. D Most of us are aware of "Is the glass half full or half empty?"litmus test.If you pick the former,,you'rean“optimist(乐观主义者)”；otherwise,.you'rea“pessimist'”.It's not a black-or-white test,but it can measure how one sees life. According to psychologist Lissy Ann Puno,most of us grow up wanting to be an optimist- 高二英语期中考试第6页共12页 a person who can see the good in any situation and can stay hopeful when facing challenges. For some people,though,life happens and they start to see the glass half-empty instead. Pessimists tend to see the wrong in every situation,and blame external factors and circumstances when things aren't going their way. Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything.For some,the shift becomes easier,being raised by pessimistic parents.Others still remain optimistic,thanks to a positive household growing up. "This is why developing optimism in young children is crucial for their development as adults,"said Lissy Ann.If adopted at an early age,this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life's circumstances with confidence, courage,and hope.What parent wouldn't want that for their children? "Children are seen as natural optimists,"Lissy Ann said.They come into this world with unbiased（无偏见的)eyes and a pure heart that hasn't been influenced by societal expectations,life experiences,severe mental shock,or authority figures yet.Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic(遗传的)and part environmental..“Childhood experiences,parent-child connection,or authority figures will all have some influence,"she said.Although optimism (or the lack of it)could be passed down genetically,it can also be taught. 32.Which of the following can replace the underlined part in paragraph 2? A.become pessimistic B.learn the truth about life C.see different sides of things D.hold onto hope in difficult times 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Factors that affect children's attitude to life. B.The influence of parents over children's growth. C.The pattern of children's mental transformation. D.Circumstances that improve children's personality. 34.Why is it important for children to be optimistic according to paragraph 4? A.It leads them to future success. B.It enables them to be wise in adulthood. C.It makes them mentally strong in adulthood. 高二英语期中考试第7页共12页 D.It helps them meet their parents'expectations. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Children are more optimistic than adults. B.Genetic factors decide how children see life. C.Optimism strengthens parent-child connection. D.Proper guidance helps raise optimistic children. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Several factors can influence your first impression of someone,including their physical features,voice and speech,surrounding environment,etc.It takes time to get to know personal characteristics that really convey (someone's nature.36 These tips can help. Stay conscious(有意识的)of body language Body language can convey quite a bit about how you feel in a given situation.A few tips to consider:open up your posture ()make some eye contact;and listen intently.37 If eye contact feels uncomfortable,try just focusing on your posture. Show your interest Expressing interest in what someone has to say can help boost your chances of making a good impression.Try a thoughtful comment that keeps the conversation moving and makes it clear that you've been paying attention.38 People generally want to know they can trust you. Dress for the occasion Previous research suggests that body language plays more of a part in first impressions than clothing.But your personal style can play a role,too.There's nothing wrong with expressing yourself through your clothing.Just know that certain situations do call for a slightly more formal look.39 Make small talk 40 But it can often pay off when it comes to leaving a positive impression.Even simple comments,like "I really like this new professor"or "Those are great shoes",can start a conversation they'll remember later. 高二英语期中考试第8页共12页 While a first impression can set the tone (for future interactions,it's also worth keeping in mind that first impressions are largely unconscious.Just approach every new meeting with kindness,compassion,and a willingness to grow.
