Your internet experience is ruined(破坏) when the net speed is too slow – it_______ so long to open a web page and the show___________ you’re watching stops every few minutes. That may make you mad. But it could be a thing of the past. _______ June 3, 1999, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that China_________ going to give out licenses for the commercialization (商业化) of 5G.

5G promises much___________data download (下载) and upload speeds. This means that you will be able to download_________ movie in seconds and only experience a short delay (延迟) between sending and receiving data. For example, when you have a video chat with your friend, there is generally a 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒) delay with 4G, but 5G will reduce(减少) it to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real time.

With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run more safely,_______they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid _________into other cars.

At the same time, 5G-enabled wearable devices will keep doctors constantly (持续地) updated on the health condition of their patients and the patients can be_________immediately if there’s something wrong.

Of course, there are some disadvantages. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission base (传输基地) . But 5G will only cover about 300 meters. But engineers will never ________solving these problems.

Time is valuable in our life. But how many times have you _______ , “I can never finish my homework on time! There aren't enough hours in the day!”

Holly Gabrielle White, a pretty girl who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably disagrees with you! In 2016, White started a channel _______ the video-sharing website You Tube. In her_______ , the 22-year-old gets up at 6: 30 am and goes to bed at 10: 30 pm every day. During the day, she balances(使…平衡) studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising.

A similar case happened to a college student in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students' plans, study notes and daily timetable. Among them, a student is very_______ in his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1: 00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He _______ his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6: 40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his timetable, he writes encouragements to _______ , like, "You're the best", and "Go for it”! Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 _______ classmates; and the_______ student won a first-class scholarship (奖学金) in Tsinghua University .The two have_______ in common. They learn a way of managing time well and efficiently(高效地).White advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as__________as our physical health.”

When someone says “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music”, it does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced.

The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?

The first information comes from the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said in 1851 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did—face the orchestra （交响乐团） which was just below the stage.

An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.

So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.

The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection （检阅）by their leader. The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment（装备）clean—shiny enough to pass inspection? Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do?

Since last December, there have been lots of COVID-19（新冠肺炎）cases both in and out of China. It’s not the first time for humans to fight with Viruses. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, because they may cause widespread disease and death.

What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物 ). They can infect animals, plants and humans, making them sick. They have materials like DNA and are protected by a kind of special skin.

Viruses can’t reproduce(繁殖) on their own. Instead, they break in the cells( 细胞) of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is, “Where did viruses first come from?” Until now, no clear explanation for this question. “It is difficult to find out where viruses first came from,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because it is difficult to study the ways they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve broken in.” Understanding where they came from means fully understanding the history of their hosts(宿主) –not only humans, but also plants and other animals, which is a difficult task, says Nature.

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子).” Indeed, mother nature can provide almost everything humans need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and mad at us. It is believed that the outbreak of COVID-19 is a good example. Humans try to change mother nature. They use more land to make buildings, catch some wild animals to meet their own needs. Humans gradually throw our mother nature out of balance( 平衡). For example, cutting a large number of forests leads to global(全球的) warming.

Although we don’t know exactly what first caused the COVID-19 outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “think carefully about our relationship with our mother nature” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “Nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home.”

31. What can we learn about viruses from the article?

A．They only make animals and plants sick.

B．They are really small living organisms.

C．They didn’t bring big trouble to humans before 2020.

D．They can’t reproduce on their own.

32. Why is it difficult to find out where viruses first came from?

A．Because viruses leave lots of fossils.

B．Because it is difficult to study the ways they use to make copies of themselves.

C．Because they don’t have DNA.

D．Because mother nature protects them.

33. The underlined word “infect” in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.

A．使...受伤

B．使...感染

C．使...伤心

D．使...丑陋

34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．It is good for humans to change mother nature.

B．Only cutting trees leads to global warming.

C．If humans break the balance of nature, mother nature will be mad at us.

D．Humans use technology to improve their lives.

35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?

A．To tell people viruses are easy to fight with.

B．To explain what led to the COVID-19 outbreak.

C．To advise humans to think carefully about their relationship with mother nature

D．To stop the wildlife trade around the world.

Around us most people are kind-hearted and want to give someone a helping hand. Here are the moments that can be remembered forever.

（From Mrs. Wang , Guizhou）On May 1st , when I was on my way back to my hometown, I lost my purse. I was told over the train’s loudspeaker（广播）that my purse was at the railway station’s lost and found office. But the train had already started. Seeing this, a kind girl who worked on the train lent me some money. I went back to the railway station and got my purse. I am still thankful to the girl and the person who found my purse.

（From Scott, Guangzhou）When I was a little boy, I went fishing with my elder sister one summer afternoon. Suddenly I slipped（滑入）into the river. The next thing that I can remember is my father holding me in the hospital. Today I still don’t know who saved me from that river. From then on, I decided to help other people whenever I can.

（From Tina, Shenzhen） One of my neighbors is an old man who cannot hear anything. He makes a living by recycling the waste. Our other neighbors don’t like this. But in my opinion, it’s his way to support his family. Last Sunday after I cleaned my house, I put some paper boxes in his garden and left my rubbish beside my door. The next day when I was going out, I found nothing outside but a note. It says, “I have thrown away your rubbish. You are a nice girl. Thanks!”
