On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform(平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

19. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because ________.

A．children may be infected by virus	B．they don’t like the idea of online learning
C．children’s study may be affected	D．parents have no time to look after children

20. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?

A．To keep playing online games.	B．To keep touching different people.
C．To do some physical exercises outside.	D．To teach children about health knowledge.

21. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Students would rather go to school.	B．The date of going to school is decided.
C．Online teaching will help students study.	D．Parents believe children can teach themselves.

22. What’s the best title for this passage?

A．A Special Way to Learn at Home	B．A New War with a New Chance
C．A Way to keep Mentally Healthy	D．A Method to Make Parents Worried

Billy’s favorite color is orange. But he can’t see what orange looks like. Billy is blind.

A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. “Billy would never be able to see.” the doctor told his mother. After that Billy’s mother began talking to him, describing things she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.

Billy does not only depend on his mother’s descriptions to learn about the world around him. He sees with his ears and his hands, too. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he can tell the numbers they dial(拨).

Billy loves computer science. He began teaching himself computer programming when he was just seven years old. His dream school would be Stanford University(斯坦福大学). He gets top grades in his classes, making that a real possibility.

“You can’t let excuses get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that you can’t move forward and reach your goals,” said Billy.

23. From the passage, we know that ________.

A．Billy can’t hear	B．Billy can’t see
C．Billy can’t walk	D．Billy can’t talk

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you’re playing mobile games or making a video call, the picture suddenly freezes(卡顿)because the network speed is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.

These annoying things will soon become things of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses(发放商业牌照)for 5G networks on June 6. This means that China’s telecommunications(电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.

The “G” stands for generation (代) . 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring？

First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow us to download an entire HD movie in a second. The delay(延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒)，while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.

Because of this increase in speed, it will be possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with other cars, traffic lights and road Sensors (传感器). 5G also makes the Internet of Things(IOT物联网)possible.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won’t have to wait too long for that to happen.

27. From the first paragraph we can know that________.

A．people can’t download movie at all on the phone

B．making a video call is impossible for phone users

C．sometimes the network speed is too slow to use

D．mobile games can’t be downloaded on the phone

28. What happened on June according to the passage？

A．China just gave commercial licenses officially for 5G networks.

B．Every mobile phone user could improve the network speed

C．Most mobile phone users didn’t use 4G anymore.

D．All the mobile phones are much cheaper than before.

29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．5G will make people’s life much easier and more convenient.

B．Self-driving cars will become safer because of the use of 5G.

C．Using 5G to download something doesn’t take any time at all.

D．5G can make people download an entire HD movie in a second.
