1 . The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games has given the best experience for TV viewers(观众)around the world.
“With the help of 5G and cloud technologies, viewers will be able to enjoy the world’s clearest broadcast—an 8K broadcast in ultra-high definition(超高清晰度), from TV sets in their homes.” said Yu Hong, head of the technical department of the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee.
At Wukesong Sports Center, many cameras are set up around the venue (场馆). They can shoot(拍摄)competitions from different angles at the same time. Using a phone app, viewers can choose different viewing angles to watch the events. 5G technology is widely used at the games. More than 100 5G base stations have been set up. They give 5G signals(信号)in and around all of the Olympic venues.
The highways and railways between the Beijing and Zhangjiakou competition zones also have full 5G coverage. The 5G network can stand high winds and cold temperatures, down to -45 °C. According to China News Service, 5G networks even bring the Beijing Winter Games to Qomolangma(珠穆朗玛峰). 5G towers to broadcast the Beijing Winter Games are set up around the mountain. People are able to watch live broadcast of the Games from the top of the world.

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt this way.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”
Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

D.Huawei is full of hope and must succeed in the future. |
3 . With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile communication system started to come. Although the development of 5G network technology in the international community is still in the research stage, a number of foreign countries and organizations are working on it. China started late in network technologies. In order to catch with the times, China also needs to have its own place in such a competitive environment.
There are some quick changes in China’s telecom space. With the 4G network now widely used, China is now preparing to enter 5G age. China has started research and development on the 5G network and plans to finish the network testing by around 2019.
It’s expected that just one standard will be used globally (全球的) with the 5G technology. “Under the identical standard, different companies can be connected, and form a competitive environment. Therefore, we can make sure that companies can gain reasonable profits (利润), and at the same time provide faster, better, more convenient and cheaper services to people.” Wu Ku, Director of Dept. of Science &Tech., MIIT said.
Wu Hequan from Chinese Academy of Engineering said, “5G will make it possible to connect one million devices to the so-called Internet of Things within one square meter. In the future, it will also be used on high-speed trains moving as fast as 500 kilometers per hour. In the area of the Internet of Vehicles (汽车), it can be used in unmanned vehicles, assisted driving and the management of smart cities.” Wu Hequan believes China’s future Internet will be faster, more intelligent and safer.
Chinese government pays more attention to the development of 5G and in more open to it. With the shared effort of the industry, China will play an increasing important role in the global 5G development.

4 . There is much heated discussion today about 5G. Your Internet experience is not pleasant when the net speed is too slow—it takes so long to open a web page and the talk show you’re watching stops every few minutes. But soon it could be a thing of the past, the Chinese government announced that 5G services would be provided around the country.
5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G and it can connect everyone and everything together. 5G speed can be very fast. 5G has very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less—this is almost real-time. In the near future, 5G network will cover many cities in China.
This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. For example, 5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission(传输)to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve this. Even airplanes will become “smart” in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet or order food and drinks.
5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. In the world, many people live in poor areas where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.
In addition 5G will be used in hospitals. It will be easier for doctors to care for patients who live far away by 5G.
However, 5G has its own weaknesses. According to China National Radio, though 5G will make our lives easier, it will not be perfect. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission center and connect the Internet easily. But 5G will only cover about 300 meters. And in order to use 5G, we will have to buy new products specifically designed for 5G that are expensive at present.
1. The underlined word “delay” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to “________”.A.the distance to cover | B.the waiting time |
C.the connecting time | D.the length to change |
A.How 5G will change our lives. | B.What discussion 5G has caused. |
C.Why 5G is the faster network. | D.What weaknesses 5G has to overcome. |
A.5G travels faster and farther than 4G. | B.5G has covered many cities in China. |
C.5G will make self-driving less safe. | D.5G may cost more as a new technology. |
A.To encourage people to use 5G in their lives. | B.To introduce people to the technology of 5G. |
C.To explain how 5G has changed people’s lives. | D.To describe the development of 5G in China. |
5 . 5G is coming. 5G is the 5th generation(代) network. It is a new network after 1 G, 2 G, 3 G and 4G. It can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data speed. One can download a two-hour movie for fewer than 10 seconds, and it is making our lives more and more convenient.
5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission(传输) to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve(达到) this. Even airplanes will become “smart” in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet and can order for food and drinks.
5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. Many people live in poor areas.in the world where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.
It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G. It means caring for patients from far away.
The facts listed above are only a part of what is 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams anymore. Now let’s welcome the coming of 5G.

When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.
This modern solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Co., the telecommunication giant, to build a “smart network” using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum, China’s royal palace from 1420 to 1911.
“It’s important to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public,” said Shan Jixiang, former director of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics,such as when the priceless painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” is exhibited again in the future. When it was last exhibited in 2015, visitors stood in long lines until 3 am to have a look. The museum ended up preparing fast food to serve the hungry visitors. “I don’t want that scenario to happen again,” Shan said. “Our operation can be done in a more scientific way.
The new system will also make use of the closed-cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum’s precious relics. More than 1.86 million of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly 20 million visits from the public last year. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures?” Shan said. “After adopting the internet of things, we can instantly detect any motion involving the relics to prevent such threats.”
The 5G network also will be used to improve remote meeting through webcams, which will discuss with scholars to jointly find the best answers for repair and store issues.

8 . If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The “G” stands for the “generation(代)” of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai Vice-mayor(副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a HUAWEI Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem-lag(延迟). When the car “sees” an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the Internet of things(IoT), that is a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically(自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

9 . Whether from news reports or social media articles, you may know that 5G is coming.
5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. It can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data speed.

It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G. It means caring for patients from far away.
The facts listed above are only a part of what 5G will make possible and popular. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few could see how it could change our life and the world. The same will surely be true of 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams any more. Now let’s get ready to say goodbye to 4G and welcome the coming of 5G.
1. How long may it take to download a two-hour movie with 5G?A.15 seconds. | B.8 seconds. | C.10 minutes. | D.2 hours. |
A.快速地 | B.高效地 | C.远程地 | D.科学地 |

C.with 5G, some of our dreams will come true for sure one day |
D.in the 1990s, all the people believed that the Internet would change our life |
10 . Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will he world be like in the future?
3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious. We can use 3-D printers(打印机)to print some basic materials. And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.
5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽)and we can get unlimited(无限的)information.
Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the sea water can be used to provide power for the homes.
Space tour is a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecrafts will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure. And even we will get used to living there.
A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong.
In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it real.”
