2 . 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. 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 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 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. |

3 . 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.”

Your Internet experience makes you sad when the net speed is too slow. It ①________so long to open a web page, and the show that you’re watching stops every few minutes. That can be very annoying (令人气恼的) .But 5G can solve these problems.5G technology is used widely now. What influence will 5G really have on our lives?
The“G” in “5G”means the generations (代) of mobile network technologies. 1G means the first generation. It let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us mobile data and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. With 5G you can download an HD movie in seconds, send and receive data almost without stopping.
5G is able to improve many advanced technologies, such as driver less cars. With a 5G network, almost no stopping in information exchange will allow driver less cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid dangers. At the same time VR games (虚拟现实游戏) will become more popular with 5G because it can make games feel even more real.
②_________5G will make our lives more convenient, it will not be perfect. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. 5G will only cover about 300 meters. For ③__,we will have to buy new and expensive products only for 5G.

5 . Do you know who Shen Yifei is? No? You need to know about this young man. He is one of China’s youngest and greatest 5G scientists. He is only in his twenties. He is really a gifted man.
Shen Yifei was born in Handan, Hebei Province in 1997. He seemed to be born with the ability to learn. At the age of five, he started school. He used only 10 years to finish primary school, junior and senior high school. After he became a 15-year-old university student in Chien-Shiung Wu College, Southeast University, he realized, “No matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger. All you know is just the tip of the iceberg.” So he was more hard-working than before. He passed all the exams with flying colors.
Since he finished university, he has got three great patents in science and technology. These patents are really important for the development of 5G. What he is doing in 5G will make a big difference to the world.
“If the young people are strong, the country will be strong.” With Liang Qichao’s famous saying in mind, Shen Yifei keeps working hard in science study. We believe this young man will have a bright future and hopefully our country have more and more excellent scientists like him.

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.
