阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Pet lovers were very angry.Last May, a news article online said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets that each household could have to only two.The news spread quickly, as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites.But pet owners had nothing to worry about—the article was made up.
Many fake (虚假的) news are harmless, but others might have played a role in real world events.When it comes to online news, even adults can have a hard time telling fact from fiction.Education experts say kids should start learning how to tell the difference.
Of course, there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news.Well known news organizations, such as The New York Times and the Associated Press, have their own sites.
But many other online “news” sources aren't always reliable.And many students have trouble finding out when articles aren't entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way.
Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true The most common reason is to make money.Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on panies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors.So people create fake news with attention catching headlines to try to get users to click on them.
Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news.Last November, Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages.Facebook is also working with fact checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles.But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical(怀疑的) of what they read online.

Terrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats,four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month,can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23 gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air.On the ground,it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a$10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale,and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost $279,000.And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s,according to Robert Mann,an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft,which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes.Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Flying Car at Auto Show
B.The Transition's First Flight
C.Pilots' Dream Coming True
D.Flying Car Closer to Reality
5.What is the first paragraph mainly about

6.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways
A.It causes traffic jams.
B.It is difficult to operate.
C.It is very expensive.
D.It burns too much fuel.
7.What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car
A.Cautious. B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous. D.Disapproving.

David Braben is a very well known game developer who runs the UK development studio, Frontier Developments, but is just as well known for being the developer of “Elite”.Over his career his studio has brought us the “Rollercoaster Tycoon” series and most recently “Kinectimals”.
In the background, however, Braben has been trying to solve another problem: getting programming and general learning of how computers work back into schools.
Braben says that education since we entered the 2000s has turned towards teaching useful skills such as writing on computer, how to get information, and learning basic computer use skills.And those have supplanted more computer science like skills such as basic programming and understanding the hardware (硬件) contained in a computer.
His solution is not to create his own course, but instead to make a low cost PC that can be given to kids for free and his courses are built up around their use.A personal computer is important for each student to have in class.When we say “low cost”, we mean the cost is so low that even “One Laptop per Child” would be realized.Braben has developed a tiny PC.How much is the cost?$25.This is the answer to anyone that says he/she can't afford a computer.The hardware being offered is good, too.The new tiny PC will let the user look through the Internet and give the user a fully functional(功能) computer to play with.And it can be carried in your pocket or on a key chain.
This tiny cheap PC is going to be given to schools through a new charitable foundation(慈善机构) called the Raspberry Pi Foundation.It will help computer science studies in schools.Braben says he hopes that they will be given within the next 12 months.
8.What does the underlined word “supplanted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Used. B.Changed.
C.Designed. D.Replaced.
9.What do we know about the PC David Braben is developing
A.It is small and very cheap.
B.Its hardware isn't very good.
C.It isn't a fully functional one.
D.It is cheap and not special.
10.What kind of person do you think David Braben is
A.He is mean, rich and famous.
B.He is able, wise and mean.
C.He is rich, selfish and successful.
D.He is able, famous and warm hearted.
11.What David Braben has been trying to do is ________.
A.running the UK development studio
B.letting children learn science like skills
C.creating more advanced computers
D.creating more computer games

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure.Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.More than one hundred seventy five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington.Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools.This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School.His students work on laptop computers at school.He explains the idea to them this way,“I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said,“The world's changing.And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.
A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice.”
But another student said,“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”
Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school.About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home.Public libraries in the county have free Internet.There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county.Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that.He said, “My family only has one computer;my sister and I both do our homework on it.So I come here to do my homework.It's good.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
12.Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy
A.He is offered a free computer to do his homework.
B.He doesn't have to do his homework at home.
C.He has access to the Internet to study at any place.
D.He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.
13.What can we learn from the passage
A.All students like digital textbooks because they are new.
B.Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.
C.Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.
D.The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks.
14.The passage aims to ________.
A.report the use of electronic textbooks in school
B.show how to use electronic textbooks
C.encourage more schools to use electronic textbooks
D.tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks
15.One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________.
A.they're more expensive
B.they can't be used if the computer is offline

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In the development of mobile communication technology from 1G to 5G, Chinese mobile communications have made great advancements. For example, China has accounted for 21 items in the 5G standards that have been drawn up for the world, while the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea possess 9, 14, 4 and 2 items respectively.In particular, the Polar Code of Huawei has been accepted as the control channel code by 3rd Generation Partnership Project, which is regarded as a significant breakthrough for Chinese mobile telecommunication in the international standard formulation.
It is obvious that 5G is able to provide technological support for equipment connectivity and the transmission(传输) of massive amounts of data and this will enable the Internet of things, driver less vehicles, virtual reality and smart cities.For example, it will enable smart homes that make life easier for people, and effectively help ease traffic pressure in cities and create a safer driving experience.Moreover, 5G can realize integrated connection(集成连接) and remote control of equipment, personnel and production, which will greatly improve the production efficiency and intelligent manufacturing level of enterprises.
It is believed that China holds favorable conditions in three aspects for the development of 5G in the future.First, the consumer market is huge in China.It is estimated that Chinese 5G users will account for 40 percent in the world, which means it would give huge market for 5G commercialization.Second, with the high maturity of 4G technology, China has the world's largest and most extensive 4G networks, and with its 40 percent of 4G base stations in the world, the equipment will provide a solid foundation for the construction of 5G networks.Third, China has displayed complete mobile communication industry chains, which, therefore, provide an advantageous industry ecological environment for the commercialization(商业化) of 5G.
Owing to its technological advantages and huge market potential, it is expected that Chinese 5G will transform to powerful industrial advantages and economic dynamics(经济动力).While sharing the benefits of its 5G technology with the people of the world, China still needs to make continuous efforts to maintain its leading position in 5G.
