China has 410K 5G base stations
China built 257,000 new 5G base stations in the first half of the year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology(MIIT).
Shipments of 5G phones reached 8623 million unis in China, with 5G package users hitting 66 million by the end of June, said Wen Ku, head of information and communication at the ministry.
To give full play to the commercialization of 5G, more policies should be implemented to boost the vitality of the market, Wen said, adding that international cooperation in 5G technology, industry and application should be strengthened.
AG600 seaplane’s test flight
Kunlong, China’s homegrown AG600 large amphibious aircraft, conducted its first sea-based test flight on Sunday morning, marking a new milestone in the program.
The AG600 is China’s second amphibious aircraft, after the SH-5, which was developed in the 1970s for military purposes and has been retired for a long time.
These specifications make it the world’s biggest amphibious aircraft, surpassing Japan’s ShinMaywa US-2 and Russia’s Beriev Be-200.
Once in service, it will put an end to the absence of a large rescue aircraft in China and will be very useful in the national emergency rescue and disaster relief systems.
Beidou products land abroad
According to Ran Chengqi, director general of China Satellite Navigation Office, Beidou has been constantly deepening its compatibility, interoperability and cooperation with the US’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the EU’s Galileo. It has also entered international organizations of civil aviation, maritime affairs, search and rescue satellites and mobile communication.
BDS-based services have been successfully applied in land mapping, precision farming, digital development and smart port construction in member countries of ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia and Africa.
21. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The total number of 5G phones has reached a new level.

Having met only weeks before, climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay shook hands before hugging each other in a moment that would put their names in history books forever. They were on top of the world-literally. After five hours of continuous climbing the two first climbed to the top of Mount Everest, the highest spot on Earth. As the ultimate climbing goal for them both and the dream of most climbers, they had just 15 minutes to absorb the experience of being at 8,848 metres above sea level. Any longer and they may not have made it back to camp to tell the tale.
With this in mind, the pair spent some of their precious minutes searching the area for signs of those who had been before them. The bodies of two previous Everest hopefuls---Andrew Irvine and George Mallory of the 1924 attempt---were in the thoughts of Norgay and Hillary. However, they could find no sign of them having reached the top.
Everest has been responsible for claiming over 300 lives and endangering many others, as it poses huge and unpredictable challenges, with high altitudes(海拔)putting immense tension on human biology and with its icy land making each step a risk. When the climbers made it back to camp and the news spread, global admiration and fame poured in.
Norgay and Hillary were determined to be the first to conquer the world’s highest mountain. They had done it. At the time they believed that the box had been ticked and no one else would put themselves through the danger to repeat their achievement. They couldn’t have been more wrong.
Today hundreds of people choose to follow in their footsteps every year. In contrast to the total isolation(孤立)felt on the first successful journey, during times of ideal weather conditions, queues form up to the mountain’s summit. This creates dangerous standstills(停滞)in the mountain’s most deadly zones.
Whether you believe these adventurers to be brave, admirable or out of their minds, it is clear that Hillary and Norgay have provided knowledge and inspiration for many to find out how it feels to truly be on top of the world.
24. What did Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay do on the top of the world?
A. They measured the height of Mount Everest.
B. They celebrated their victory with many climbers.
C. They tried to find signs of earlier climbers.
D. They shared the experience as long as 15 minutes.
25. What can be inferred about Andrew Irvine and George Mallory from the passage?
A. They succeeded in reaching the top of Mount Everest first.
B. They lost their lives in their attempt to conquer Mount Everest.
C. They were good friends of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
D. They died because they didn’t return to their camp in time.
26. What does the underlined word “immense” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Huge. B. Outside. C. Minimum. D. Limited.
27. What will the present Everest climbers be likely to face compared with Norgay and Hillary?
A. More terrible loneliness. B. More ideal weather conditions.
C. More deadly zones. D. More dangerous stops.
C
Chemists have sped up evolution, harnessing a process that can take millions of years in the natural world and using it—in months or weeks—to make unusual molecules that today are used for everything from “green” biofuels(生物燃料) to cancer drugs. Today that speed and efficiency was rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Frances H. Arnold won half of the 2018 prize for directing evolution in a test tube, speeding up the natural selection of the most productive enzymes(酶) to drive chemical reactions. The other half of the prize went to George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter.
All three scientists took Charles Darwin's idea of natural selection, in which molecules(分子) or organisms accumulate mutations(突变) in a slow, random process, and figured out ways to identify and select specific mutations that improve the ability of molecules such as proteins and enzymes. By picking and choosing enzymes with improved abilities and repeatedly refining them, Arnold ended up with one that performed 256 times better than the original.
“This was a revolution based on evolution,” says Claes Gustafsson, a member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. “Now you can use these enzymes to speed up reaction and to replace poisonous chemicals.”
Arnold began her line of research in the early 1990s. In a speech several years ago she said the notion of improving on the natural course of evolution was an idea that needed to come from an outsider. “Twenty-five years ago it was considered the lunatic fringe(狂热者,极端分子),” Arnold said in 2014. “Scientists didn't do that. Gentlemen didn't do that. But since I’m an engineer and not a gentleman. I had no problem with that.”
Smith's research, begun in the 1980s,used a bacteriophage(噬菌体). Genes code for proteins, and Smith got his phages to display those proteins on their outer coats. He then used antibodies to fish out the proteins he was interested in. This process is called phage display. The ability to select specific proteins, cycle their genes back through the phage, and again fish out the best ones sped up natural selection.
Winter put the genes for antibodies inside phages,got the phages to produce antibodies on their coats, and used a small molecule to fish out only antibodies that had a particular kind of binding site(结合部位), so Winter had developed a way of producing highly efficient antibodies in a short period of time. Because of this, Claes says, “Now we can use antibody drugs with greater efficiency and fewer side effects.” Of the 15 most-sold drugs on the planet, she says, 11 are now made by processes based on this method.
28. Why does the Nobel Prize in Chemistry go to Frances H. Arnold?
A. She followed Charles Darwin's idea of natural selection.
B. She found ways to use viruses to produce powerful proteins.
C She developed a way of producing highly efficient antibodies.
D. She directed evolution and accelerated the natural selection of enzymes.
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?
A. She was regarded as a lunatic fringe.
B. She took advantage of her gender(性别).
C. She dared to break through conventional idea.
D. She was supported by other scientists.
30. What attitude does Claes Gustafsson hold towards the use of antibody drugs?
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Favorable. D. Casual.
31. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Revolution in Evolution Wins 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
B Three Scientists Speeding up the Natural Selection of the World
C. Charles Darwin's idea of natural selection becoming outdated
D. Scientists Finding a New Method for Wresting with Cancer
D
In 2015, researchers from Australia’s Deakin University published one of the first studies measuring food’s physical effect on the left hippocampus(海马体), a seahorse-shaped brain region crucial for memory, learning, and decision making. It is also one of the first areas to shrink in people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia(痴呆). 255 people filled out diet surveys and then underwent MRI (磁共振扫描成像) that measured their brains. Four years later, they returned for another scan in response to a request from the researchers.
The study found that the left hippocampus was bigger and heavier in the healthy eaters than in the unhealthy ones, regardless of age, sex, weight, exercise habits, or general health. That means eating the right foods and skipping the wrong stuff could help protect against declines in thinking and memory that lead to dementia. Healthy eating doesn’t just prevent brain decline. It raises scores on thinking and memory tests, according to a study published in March 2019 that tracked 2,621 American women and men for 30 years. “Green leafy vegetables have good effects that may protect both females and males against cognitive(认知的)decline and dementia,” says lead researcher Claire McEvoy, RD, of the Centre for Public Health at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland.
Even a little healthy food goes a long way. According to a 2018 Rush University study that tracked 960 people for 4.7 years, participants who ate just 1.3 extra servings of green leafy vegetables a day showed cognitive abilities similar to those of people 11 years younger.
How are these power foods working with your brain cells? Animal and test-tube experiments suggest that compounds in healthy diets help new cells make copies of DNA when they divide and multiply. Meanwhile, high-fat, high-sugar processed foods harm brain cells.
While food serves as an important brain protector, experts say brain supplements(补品)aren’t all that effective. Studies show that they don't make brain cells active in a significantly positive way. “Let the buyer be cautious,” says David Hogan, MD, a specialist at the University of Calgary. A study of nootropics(益智药)in the November 2019 Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that the unapproved drug—piracetam(乙酰胺吡略烷酮)was found in four out of five brands tested, at levels that could cause side effects such as depression.
32. Why did the researchers have the 255 people return for another MRI scan four years later?
A. To test whether they had Alzheimer’s disease.
B. To see what effects diets had on the left hippocampus.
C. To study how they kept healthy in the four years.
D. To deepen their research into Alzheimer’s disease.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Healthy eating helps to reduce the risk of dementia.
B. Unhealthy diet is a major contributing factor in cognitive decline.
C. Age and sex have nothing to do with our general health.
D. Plant-based diets have greater effects on women than men.
34. Which of the following would David Hogan most probably agree with?
A. Brain supplements are as helpful as healthy diets.
B. We’d better take brain supplements for convenience.
C. We should be careful when taking brain supplements.
D. Brain supplements have as many side effects as processed foods.
35. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Yes to Green Leafy Vegetables B. Yes to Nootropics
C. No to Intelligence D. No to Dementia

Concerts should be a fun and enjoyable occasion for everyone attending them, including the musicians. No matter what type of concert one is attending, he is still expected to follow the rules concert etiquette(礼仪). 36
Classical music concerts are often events where concert etiquette is considered to be very important. One should generally arrive a few minutes before the show starts, so he can be in his seat at the beginning of the first musical performance. If he arrives late, it may be considered rude to walk in and take his seat in the middle of a musical performance.37 In this way, he will not influence other audiences while the music is being played.
38 Take jazz concerts for example. People are usually not criticized for making a small amount of noise, as long as it is not troubling other audiences. For example, they may talk quietly during a performance.
Rock and heavy metal concert etiquette is very relaxed. 39 However, audiences are still expected to show some good manners during a performance. Also, rock concerts are often very crowded, particularly in the areas surrounding the stage.40 But one should still pay attention to his surroundings. Stepping on someone's foot repeatedly may cause a fight as well.
A.This will usually be announced before the concert begins.
B.Concert etiquette for other types of concerts is usually a little more relaxed.
C.Rock concert goers, on the other hand, can usually get a little louder.
D.In large groups of people like this, it is not unusual to touch others at times.
E.People are not usually discouraged from talking at these types of concerts.
F.Instead, he should wait for one song to end before taking his seat.
G.And the concert etiquette can be different, depending on what type of concert it is.

Then Grammer put its picture on social media. On seeing it, the victims of the fire could not 48 themselves. “Beautiful and impressive,” one of them remarked. And another said, “You bring beauty and 49 .”
At this time, Grammer became aware that something 50 had been transformed by a purely artistic expression. “When the first mural(壁画)moved so many people, I knew I had to 51 ,” he told the journalist. Grammer returned to Paradise eight times in three months, 52 which he completed 17 murals of victims and other figures.
Today, Grammer’s efforts have 53 into a movement. He has also painted murals in dark places around the world that seriously need some light.
Ironically, the first painting, on the chimney in Paradise, existed for just several months, 54 the bulldozer(推土机)was a merciless art critic. But Grammer couldn’t be more pleased about it, which means the spirit of Paradise is 55 again.

Jenny?was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out?at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic?pearl necklace, by which she was totally defeated. How eagerly she wanted it! But when she saw the price, her heart sank a little. She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving?Daddy. When Jenny went to?bed,?he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you?love?me?” “Oh, yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl said?delightedly, with a broad smile on her face. “Well, then,?give?me your pearls.” Hearing that, Jenny froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. “Oh! Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Rosy, my?favorite?doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a?kiss, gently and calmly. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly, trying to escape from her father’s eyes. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” “Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She is my favorite.” The little girl begged. “No, that’s okay,” her father said, smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”

Dear Jack,
Knowing that you won the first prize in the Chinese Bridge Competition, I feel very delighted.
Congratulations to you.
As is known to all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn. It's really amazing. for a foreigner to learn and speak Chinese so well. Since skill comes only with practice, patience, and persistence, you must have made great efforts to make it. How great you are. I have already delivered a set of China's four great classic novels to you. I hope it can be of some help to you in learning Chinese.
I'm looking forward to your greater progress in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
???Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her story, Jenny?was waiting anxiously for him on the?bed.?When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded, with her hands holding?the necklace?tightly and firmly. When the story came to an end, unexpectedly, Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father, with her fingers trembling automatically. No one knew what the necklace meant to her. She whispered to her father, softly and gently, “Daddy, you know I?love?you more than the necklace.” Then, the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.?
Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue box.?Much to Jenny’s amazement, a beautiful real?pearl necklace?lay peacefully in the box, which set her heart racing. Jenny froze there, a thrilled expression twisting her face. Before Jenny was able to say something,?her father brushed a warm?kiss?on her face and gathered her into his arms. Holding the genuine necklace in her hand, Jenny lifted her lip, tears beginning to blur her vision.
