三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文， 然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。(本大题共22分，每小题2分）
A
China is racing to build a nationwide 5G network. Shanghai vice-mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X phone on March 30, CGTN reported. Shanghai is the first city in China to start a test run of 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will allow people to download and upload data faster than ever. It will also be used in other areas.
5G is very helpful to the development of self-driving cars. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem. When the car “sees” an obstacle (障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and waits for instructions.
However, the car can crash if it doesn’t receive instructions in time. 5G networks would reduce the time this takes and make the cars safer, CNN noted.
5G could also power the internet of things (IoT,物联网). This refers to a huge online network that connects everything and everyone. Very fast internet speeds are the key to realizing it. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could order eggs online itself when it notices that there are no eggs left inside.
25.The first 5G video call was made _________.
A. in Beijing B.on March 31 C. by Wu Qing D. on an iPhone X
26.5G is ______faster than 4G.
A. 10 times B.100 times C. 0.1times D. 1000 times
27. How can 5G networks help with the self-driving car? Put the following sentences in correct order.
①When the car “sees” an obstacle, it sends the information to a data center .
②The car receives the instructions in time with the help of 5G.
③ The car waits for instruction from 5G.
④It helps the car avoid the accident successfully.
A. ①②③④ B. ②④③① C. ①③②④ D.④①②③

I want to be a scientist...”
Well, life may push it in another direction.

Our dreams won’t often pursue us,
We should cherish(珍惜) our dreams and make them come true.

Can you make yours reality(现实)!

Beauty sleep is a real thing. Researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive(有魅力的) to others.
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look “especially” more ugly, their sleep experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make?up free(素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge(评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: “How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture？”
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy?looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said “Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious(无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.”
32.The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except ．
A.telling who looked healthier B.telling who didn't have many friends
C.telling who missed a lot of sleep D.telling who was attractive
33.What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?
A.The people who were tired. B.The people who were sleepy.
C.The people who were unhealthy. D.The people who were attractive and energetic.
34.What does the underlined word “socialize” mean in Chinese?
A.合伙 B.玩耍 C.交往 D.共事
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Beauty sleep, more attractive. B.More sleep, more friends.
C.Less sleep, fewer friends. D.No attractiveness, no friends.

七、任务型阅读 (本大题共5分，每空1分)
People often say that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean that with improved trade, each country is becoming more and more familiar with one another. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in India, or watch a French movie in China.
However, countries still have the power to surprise people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the culture and habits between countries.
Recently, the Daily Mail reported on some culture shocks(文化冲击) from around the world. A Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was greatly surprised on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms were very different to those in his home country. He noticed that after using the toilet, the cover turned as part of a cleaning process. Milorad was impressed. “That was the best thing that happened on that school trip,” he said.
Most often, however, it is some habits that are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Barot. When visiting a Western country, he noticed people communicating with each other in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only: food.
The cultural differences people notice can seem good, bad, or simply just strange. But rather than something to be afraid of, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a much more boring place. So let’s be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, open to the cultures of others.
Topic: culture shocks around the world
Milorad Boti On a school trip to Germany, he found public bathrooms very different to those in Serbia. After people used the toilet, its cover would turn to 1. _______ itself.
