On the morning of May 30th, 2019, Huawei helped the BBC use 5G to report news. It was the first time that 5G was used in the world! Actually, China just began to use 5G in June 2019. What’s the most special about 5G? 5G lets us send and receive information in a very short time. Now, it takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) to send and receive information by using 4G. But 5G will help reduce the time to 1 millisecond or less. The big change that 5G brings will not only make our mobile network faster, but also deeply change our lives in many ways.
First, 5G can connect with amusements. 5G is about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds by using 5C. Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. 5G will make people feel the games become even more real.
Second, 5G can connect with traffic. 5G will also make self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors(传感器).5G will allow self-driving cars to have faster reaction(反应) than human drivers.
Third, 5G can connect with smart homes. 5G also makes IOT possible. IOT is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it. Smart homes can make the machines automatic. For example, if the sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler(洒水器) could water your plants by itself. And your toaster could start making breakfast ahead of time or before you get up.
Although not everyone can use 5G networks now, China is trying its best to let everyone use 5G as soon as possible!

2 . Flowers feel feelings. It’s a secret well known by flower lovers. They expect flowers to come out with quiet and soft encouragements.
So it should be no surprise that the Yellowbright Flower growing in a large red field trembled (颤抖) with strong feelings now. He trembled because he felt different. He was the only Yellowbright Flower flowering in a field of red plants, whatever they were. He knew walkers stopped and stared before walking on. He knew he was some special thing, the only thing of his kind. And the only thing of anything is always a very lonely thing to be, no matter what thing it is.
Until one bright midnight, as he danced in the summer wind, the field spoke to him. Yes, a voice came from one red plant in the field. This plant, whatever it was, now spoke to him by saying this, “You’re not really alone, you know.” No one and nothing had ever spoken to him before. To say he was surprised would be an understatement (轻描淡写). Remember, flowers feel strong feelings.
“You’ve been wrong before,” the red plant went on. “You’re a rose. So am I. So are we all, all of us in this big field. If you re yellow, with a different bloom (开花), ________. But it’s all of us, together, that the walkers stop walking to see. Not just you. Together, we’re a garden. Alone, you’re only one pretty but very small blossom (花).” Funny how this changed things for the Yellowbright Flower, who now realized he was really a Yellowbright Rose. Funny how those few words changed everything. Because nothing is really the only thing of anything, no matter how special that one thing is.
We stop feeling different and lonely when we understand we’re part of something larger than ourselves.

3 . One does not find many outdoor cafes in Great Britain, for the weather there often changes during the day.

In a pub people can buy all kinds of drinks, from beer to orange juice. The Englishman’s favorite drink is beer.
(B) Quite a lot of businessmen have lunch in pubs near their offices because in many pubs fast food is served. There may even be a restaurant in a pub. The food they sell is usually cheap and good.

4 . Children are amazing! They ① pick up languages so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It’s not because they have great natural language abilities. ② In fact, studies show that an adult’s potential(潜能) to learn languages is as good as a child’s.
So why do children still seem to acquire languages more quickly than the rest of us? It’s because of the way they learn. Children learn by simply doing what comes naturally—they listen, copy and communicate. Let’s take a closer look at how children acquire languages. Perhaps we can discover a better, more “natural” way to learn English.
1. ________
When people talk to children, they often use simple words that children can understand. That’s really important to the children’s language development. In order to learn, children must be able to understand what they hear. If they don’t understand it, it’s just meaningless noise. Listen to radio or TV programs that use English at your level. If you can’t understand every word or sentence, don’t give up. Just pay attention to what you can understand, and listen as often as you can.
2. ________
Children like to copy their parents, their friends and even the TV. This teaches them how to pronounce the language. As you listen to English, repeat what you hear as much as you can.
3. ________
Children don’t practice grammar rules but use the language to talk about things that interest them. ③ This helps them learn to express themselves. They don’t worry about their small vocabulary or poor grammar. They find ways to say what they want and they do it successfully. So look for chances to talk with people in English.
Don’t worry about making mistakes. You can learn English better by correcting mistakes!

This trip is going to be fun! Our trip designed to provide you with a sense of adventure. We’ll be taking you to places that are less visited by tourists. You won’t be stuck (固定) on a bus all day long. You’ll get to meet other kids and hang out with new people in each destination(目的地). All the young travelers get together to do something without the adults. For example, you’ll have dinner together, then you can hang out, go swimming, watch a movie and do things kids of your age like to do. While you are busy, the adults can get together with other adults on the trip, or spend some time alone. Although it’s nice to have some separate time with friends, family members always get together before the end of the day.
Your parents and grandparents want to take advantages of this special time with you now that(既然) you are older and able to enjoy the world in which we live. Also, the adults in your life value family relationships and get-togethers. Vacations are a perfect opportunity to create lasting memories for everyone.

6 . There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to (1) use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different products. We need to know how to make a choice when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a life skill. We need these skills. They help us to live useful and happy lives.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pair? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day. (2) They can affect the rest of our lives.
Besides, our choices can affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: who else does your choice affect?

9 . UNICEF is an international charity that helps children around the world. It was set up in 1946 to help children in Europe and China after World War II. It wanted to make life better for those who were badly influenced.
Now, UNICEF has a number of plans and hopes to achieve for children in every country. For example, they think that all children should be able to have safe drinking water. They also work hard to make sure that children can get medicine if they are ill. In many countries, children, especially girls, do not have the chance to go to school, so UNICEF tries to let them get a good education.
UNICEF is different from many other charities because it works with different governments around the world. Though many governments have their own systems (体系) to improve the lives of their children, UNICEF has so much experience that it can advise governments on how to make their systems better. UNICEF has done many great things since it started and will carry on with its work only if people can keep donating money to help it.
1. What was UNICEF set up for?| A．To give children enough food. | B．To give children medicine. |
| C．To give governments advice. | D．To help children after World War II. |
| A．To help women around the world. | B．To give children clean water to drink. |
| C．To make the world peaceful. | D．To make governments do something for it. |

| A．Because it works with governments. | B．Because it always achieves its goals. |
| C．Because it offers money to poor people. | D．Because it needs little help from people. |

| C．Children must be given much more help. | D．Governments must listen to UNICEF’s advice. |
It seems that Shanghai students are not as happy as they should be. That’s what an article in a local newspaper said some time ago.
The paper did a survey of some students and asked them if they were happy. 60% of the students said they were happy, but almost 40% said they were unhappy! However, when the paper asked deaf students the same question, almost 90% said, yes, they were happy. It’s pretty surprising when you think about it. Those students who have a disability are happier than those “healthier” classmates or schoolmates.
When I asked my students if they were happy, most said yes, but they also said they had a lot of pressure: too much homework, not enough freedom, not enough money. And some worry about the future, such as getting a good job, and finding a good husband or wife. Clearly, some students handle this pressure better than others, and the deaf students seem to handle (处理) the pressure best of all. They don’t let it get them down.
I can only imagine why this is. Maybe it has a lot to do with “overcoming adversity (战胜逆境)”. The deaf students have already had to deal with a big problem in their lives. They can’t hear, so talking to other people is very difficult, if not impossible. To communicate with others, they’ve had to learn sign language. After learning to “sign”, they’ve found new friends and they’ve also found the joy that comes with “overcoming adversity”.
We can all learn a lesson from these deaf students.
1. The survey in the passage is done by a newspaper in ________.| A．England | B．Beijing | C．Shandong | D．Shanghai |

| C．All the students who have a disability are happy. |
| D．Most deaf students feel that they are happy. |
| A．teacher | B．doctor | C．reporter | D．Nurse |
| A．让他们下来 | B．写下他们的名字 | C．使他们沮丧 | D．使他们振作起来 |
| A．they can’t hear anything |
| B．they found joy that come with “overcoming adversity” |
| C．it is difficult for them to communicate with others |
| D．it is impossible for them to talk to others |
