Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. Shortly afterwards, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
The hotline is available in English and Spanish. It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages. For example, by pressing 1, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together, “You can do it! Keep trying, and don’t give up!” Pressing 2 brings the sounds of children laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in difficult times. Ms. Martin worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. Actually, they called it “Pep Talk” first. But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an ad for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.
Most of the project was completed in a day. Ms. Martin worked with students from kindergarten to the sixth grade. She had the same basic question for all the students-What could you say to help or encourage someone else Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day-and then, thousands of calls an hour. It’s become unbelievably popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.
19. How did the project “PepToc” get its name
A. Out of a mistake. B. From a similar project.
C. On the recommendation of students. D. At the request of Ms. Martin’s son.
20. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about

C. What the hotline focuses on. D. How the hotline was set up.
21. What might Ms. Martin think of people’s response to the hotline
A. Unacceptable. B. Unreasonable. C. Unexpected. D. Unpleasant.

All networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because 5G will be reachable in the near future. So, what’s so special about a 5G future First of all, its download speed can be as fast as 20GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times that of 4G. But what’s more impressive is 5G’S low delay rate. Now, 4G takes an average of 200 milliseconds（毫秒）to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.
5G is a great breakthrough. It’s going to change the way equipment connects to the Internet, and more importantly, to each other. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. Human reaction time is 200 milliseconds, yet we still have accidents every day. The self-driving car under a. 5G network could react and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within 1 millisecond. It’ll play a great role in preventing car accidents and ending traffic jams completely.
5G can benefit us in many other ways. Operations could be performed by robots controlled by experts from the other side of the world. Therefore, more lives will be saved in time. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their tasks to each other, and they can do more work efficiently over a 5G network. Imagine a group of drones（无人机）flying over a field of crops, using sensors（传感器）on the ground to sort, pick, feed, and water plants all on their own. Then farmers won’t have to work so hard anymore.
But, 5G is not perfect. One major disadvantage has to do with why it’s so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the signal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it can’t even go through walls or rain. So, what does that mean Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of transmitters（信号发射塔）in the future.
22. How does the author show us 5G’s advantages in Paragraph 1
A. By giving examples of the uses of 5G.
B. By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.
C. By explaining the scientific principles of 5G.
D. By analyzing 5G’s development from 4G.
23. According to the author, the self-driving cars will ______.
A. cause more car accidents B. slow down 5G’s development
C. ran without being connected to the Internet D. have a much faster reaction speed than humans
24. What does the underlined part “be staffed by robots” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Be built by robots. B. Have robots as workers.
C. Offer employees home robots. D. Produce more medical robots.
25. What is the main idea of the text
A. The development of 5G is challenging.
B. Some disadvantages of 5G network remain to be improved.
C. 5G network could be applied to hospitals, factories and drones.
D. 5G is a great breakthrough and can benefit people in many ways.
Ⅲ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题每小题2分，满分10分）
One of the most important skills in building a successful career is listening. While drive and confidence may get you in the door of a dream job, listening enables you to build successful partnerships that will help you climb to the top. 26 When colleagues feel listened to, they feel safe to communicate and enjoy working together. So how do people become good listeners
27
While we all have our own ideas, to properly listen, we must put these aside when the other person is speaking. Many people succeed because they’ve learned to listen with the purpose of understanding what the other person is trying to convey. It helps you get important information, of course, but it’s more than that: It’s also the greatest sign of respect you can give someone.
Ask question.
This shows the other person that you re paying attention and interested, which will lead to a more honest and productive conversation. Clarify things that may be unclear, reflect back what you hear and ask questions that allow the person to unpack the topic. 28
Be supportive.
Create a safe and comfortable workplace by showing your support. 29 Body language can also play a significant role in creating a supportive environment. Positive feedback（反馈）is an important part too. Gaining new information is the best way to stay on top of the game, no matter what the job is.
Be patient with yourself.
Don’t forget to be patient with yourself. 30 Take the time to manage your success in this field and remember that little change can go a long way.
A. Listen with the goal of comprehension.
B. Learning to listen effectively doesn’t happen overnight.
C. Here’s how to build your career by being a good listener.
D. Understand what words will truly persuade the other person.
E. Open-ended questions are the best as they don’t force a direct answer.
F. Sincere listening is important as it helps create a supportive workplace.
G. This can be done by showing confidence in the person and avoiding criticism.
