A
As we know, the time of 5G technology（技术）is coming. Recently, there's a lot of information about 5G. But what is this technology and how might it bring to our lives
What is 5G
5G means the fifth generation（第五代） mobile networks（网络）, a better technology than 4G. And we know, 4G comes after 3G and makes the network run faster than 3G.
When will 5G come to our life
Before we can all use 5G, there must be a new system（系统） for 5G to work. In the USA, some cities will first use 5G this year. Experts say it will take a few more years or even longer to reach every place. In China, a few cities are using 5G now. And more and more cities will join this group: Next year, 5G will become national, even in the countryside.
What can 5G do
Experts say 5G will help to build future "smart cities" with the help of sensor networks（传感器网络）. Such networks will be able to help the police with the traffic. They can help us know what’s happening in our homes when we are at work. They can even help to make it possible for doctors to perform an operation（手术） far away.
__________________
In the future, more information and more kinds of information will be travelling across 5G networks. Much of the information could be about persons, businesses or government organization（政府组织）. So we can see that the wider （更广泛地） use of a 5G network means any mistake of the system would cause serious results. Then they may bring problems of public security（安全）and world economic（经济） activity.
( ) 21. According to the passage, 5G is __________.
a kind of phone B. a kind of computer
C. a kind of network D. a kind of website（网站）
( ) 22. The underlined word “They” refers to ________.
Experts B. The police C. Doctors D. The networks
( ) 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about “smart cities” in this passage

( ) 24. The underlined word “national” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
民族的 B. 国立的 C. 全国性的 D. 普通的
( ) 25. Which sentence is the best for the place ______________
A. Who will use 5G B. Why will 5G be popular
C. Why should we use 5G carefully D. What are the security problems

Hou Changliang, 36, was a volunteer teacher from Hunan. After graduating from college in 2011, Hou have been teaching in rural schools in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan until now.
Starting from 2018,Hou posted pictures of his everyday life with students on the video-sharing platform Douyin.The videos have got more than 7.3 million likes.Recently, his story has made national headlines, reported China Daily.What's the most important thing to help develop rural education With first-hand experience,Hou would say it's not buying new books or desks, but a change of mindset.
For example, for two years,he had to fight the drop-out rate of his students in Guangxi, reported CGTN. Local people often saw little reason to support their children 's education, especially the education of girls. Once he had to spend hours persuading (说服) a girl's father to let her finish nine years of free compulsory(义务的) education.
Hou also encouraged rural students to understand and love their hometown. Only in this way will they care about its future and that of its people, he said.He realized that textbooks sometimes focus too much on city life and rarely include scenes of rural life."As rural students look up to the city life shown in textbooks, they may just want to go away from home," he said.
So he sometimes included images of rural life in his teaching materials.He also turned farming work such as collecting bamboo shoots into topics for writing tasks and math problems. He wanted the young people to feel proud of their villages.
"They need to leave the mountains and see a larger world, but they are also the hope of rural areas,” said Hou.
( ) 26. How many years have Hou taught in rural schools
A.10 years B. 4 years C. 25 years D. 12 years
( )27.Why did Hou spend a long time bringing the girl back to school to finish her compulsory education
A.Because the girl's father paid more attention to boy's education.
B.Because the girl wanted to go back to school.
C.Because Hou aimed at supporting children's education.
D. Because local people didn't care about children's education at all.
( ) 28. What did Hou do to let his students understand and love their hometown
A. They collected bamboo shoots.
B.They read articles about rural life in their textbooks.
C.They went outside to experience city life.
D. They solved math problems about farming work.
( ) 29. Which word can be used to describe Hou
A.careless B.devoted C.stupid D. unhappy
( ) 30. Where can you probably read the passage
A. ln a newspaper. B. In a science magazine.
C. In an advertisement. D. In a story book

Body image, the way people feel about their looks, is a big problem for many young people today. According to a study, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet and almost one in five teenage boys are worried about their bodies and their weight. It seems that they don’t care about their health so much.
But what causes this problem In the study, many people blamed（责备） the media. Turn on the TV and you’ll always see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars. Open a magazine or a newspaper, look through the Internet, and it’s usually the same.
In the USA, the average woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, but the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos. Many young people feel pressure to look like these “perfect” people. But for most, this is just not possible so they begin to become less confident. As a result, some stop eating healthily in order to lose weight. Students who lose so much confidence used to take part in classroom activities at school, but they don’t now.
Is there a solution to the problem In 2019, a study in the UK advised that body image lessons should be provided in schools. Others believe it’s a problem that all of society needs to deal with. As Meaghan Ramsey says, “We need to judge（评判）people by what they do, not what they look like.”
( ) 31.What does the study on teenagers show us
A. More than 50% of young girls want to eat healthily.
B. Most of the teenage boys do sports to keep fit.
C. Teenagers care too much about their appearance.
D. Teenagers spend too much time on bodybuilding.
( ) 32. According to the study, what are likely to cause the problem
A. Social medias. B. Models and parents.
C. Activities at schools. D. Teenagers’ health problem.
( ) 33. According to the passage, why do those young people choose to take a diet
A. To save money. B. To reduce pressure.
C. To lose weight. D. To become pop stars.
( ) 34. What suggestion is given by the UK experts
A. Have more classroom activities.
B. Provide image lessons at schools.
C. Keep away from “perfect” people.
D. Invite Meaghan Ramsey to teach.
( ) 35.What is Meaghan Romsey’s point of view
A. Good behaviors are more important than good looking.
B. Good looking can help young people build their careers.
C. Teenagers should follow their hearts and do what they like.
D. All of society should take actions to deal with this problem.
