But Chinese fans have nicknamed the mascot the “wonton wrapper” (馄饨皮) because     2     its similarity to the dumpling-like food. The positive attention directed toward the mascot has also made a Qatari youngster a social media hit in China.

During the live broadcast of the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador, a young fan in the audience     3     (wear) a kaffiyeh (头巾), a traditional male headdress in the region,     4     (attract) people’s attention by making impressive     5     (face) expressions showing his unhappiness about his team’s performance. The Qatari team     6     (ultimate) lost the match. The teen is actually Abdulrahman Fahad al-Thani. Based on his family name, it’s believed that     7     16-year-old boy could be a member of the Qatari royal family. Thursday, Abdulrahman recorded a video expressing his gratitude     8    the love he has received from the Chinese people. Many people commented that he is welcome to visit China     9     well. Also, his response was one of the most discussed     10     (topic) on Chinese social media on Friday.

The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE. However, they died out around the year 393. It was in 1896, in Athens    1     the modern Olympic Games were first held. A Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin,     2     dream was that the Olympics would make     3     possible for people to live side by side in peace, brought the Olympics back to life. Since then, motivated by the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger”, thousands of     4    (high)trained and talented athletes     5    (devote)themselves to achieving sporting excellence and pushing the boundaries of human achievement, such as Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Jessica Ennis-Hill and so on.

Chinese athletes have also made important     6    (contribute)to the Olympics. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, China returned     7     the Olympics after 32 years’absence and Xu Haifeng won our country’s first-ever gold medal. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became the first Asian     8    (win) the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles. In 2008, in addition to     9    (host)the Olympic for the first time, China also ranked first in the medal table. The year 2022 was also     10     historic moment for China, as Beijing successfully hosted the Winter Olympics.

Beijing was once a city of bikes, known as the Bicycle Kingdom,    1     cars were reserved for official business and the politically powerful. However, decades of economic     2    (grow) led to a huge flowing of cars in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a requirement for marriage. As the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads,    3    (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic.

    4    (fortunate), now Beijing may be returning to its roots. Thanks to about 20 technology companies, brightly colored shared bikes     5    (flood) into Beijing in the last two years. Many local residents welcome the shared bikes     6     the flexibility and freedom they offer. They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop them off anywhere they like, locking the back wheel, with no need     7     (find) a fixed place.

Analyses in China say it was three factors that contribute to bikes’     8    (increase) rapidly: a lot of cash looking for a home, a good idea and government support. “As the city’s population grew, traffic jams got     9    (bad).” Cai, the ofo spokeswoman, said, “Shared bikes could solve the ‘last mile’ problem in     10     environmentally friendly way.”

5G is developing, but most of us aren’t really sure what it is or the reason    1    we need it. A big part of the reason is that 5G means more than one thing. If you ask different people, you    2    (provide) with different answers.

Experts believe that 4G is on    3    way out. In 2020, the U. K. is expected to use 5G. At present, it is unknown exactly what influence 5G will have on people’ s life but it is widely thought that 5G will     4    (definite) be faster than any generation of networks we have used previously.

Work will likely become much easier as 5G will allow quicker downloads and a better ability to work online even if there is no WiFi    5    (connect). With the development of 5G, driver-less cars will be able to communicate with other vehicles, which can reduce road accidents    6    about 10%. One of the most     7    (impress) things will be that people can see which seats on a train are accessible to    8    (they) when it arrives at the station.     9     (get) around the world will also be more convenient.

A number of companies are now working on bringing 5G to the market. It remains to be seen how much of the country 5G will cover and     10     everyone will be able to benefit from it.

From smooth conference calls in     1     crowded train station to live broadcasts of town hall meetings and lightning-quick downloads of high-resolution (高清晰的) movies, Shanghai’s superfast 5G network is turning technological dreams     2     reality.

In the latest development, the city’s Hongqiao Railway Station, one of Asia’s     3    (big) traffic centers, has launched a 5G network. It will allow passengers     4    (experience) data speeds up to 100 times faster than     5     is available now. The railway station’s 5G network, the result of teaming up with telecommunication equipment maker Huawei Technologies,     6    (see) as a milestone in Shanghai’s commercial 5G arrangement to become a dual-gigaband city, with gigabit (千兆位) network speeds on mobile as well as fixed networks.

As the 5G era approaches, one of the key     7    (concern) for telecom operators will be how they can use 5G networks to meet the needs of high-density areas with thousands of people simultaneously (同时) using the network to make phone calls, access the Internet and make mobile payments.

China Mobile’s Shanghai branch tapped Huawei’s 5G Digital Indoor System, which is     8    (current) the industry’s only commercially available system for 5G indoor coverage. The product,    9    (develop) in Shanghai, is now ready for mass     10    (deliver).

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Palace Museum and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement    1     March 15. The two sides will set an example for 5G application.

The Palace Museum received more than 17 million visitors in 2018,     2     (make) it the most visited museum in the world. In the past 20 years, an office information network covering the whole museum    3     (build) gradually.
