11、de cookies, but I realize thats not what you had in mind.” Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “Well come back later.” Jamie hesitated but Mark remembered what happened last summer when Mr. Dunns collie (牧羊犬), Goldie had just wanted to play, but

12、Mark didnt feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Gradys front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. “Hold on, Mark. Im coming !” “Goldie” shed called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head,

13、 Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasnt much taller than Mark, but shed stood from as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then shed swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed. When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed, “It was nothing.

14、 Good neighbors watch out for each other, dont they?” And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as hed needed her last summer.

Actions speak louder than words.CAll networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because 5G will be reachable in the near future. So, whats so special about a 5G future? First of all, its download

18、speed can be as fast as 20 GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times that of 4G. but whats more impressive is 5Gs low delay rate. Now, 4G takes an average of 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.5G is a great breakthrough. Its going to change the way

19、equipment connects to the Internet, and more importantly, to each other. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. human reaction time is 200 milliseconds, yet we still have accidents every day.

20、e its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within 1 millisecond. Itll play a great role in preventing car accidents and ending traffic jams completely.5G can benefit us in many other ways.

One major disadvantage has to do with why its so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the s

23、ignal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it cant even go through walls or rain. So, what does that mean? Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of transmitters (信号发射塔) in the future?28. How does the author show us 5Gs advantages in Paragr

24、aph 1?A. By giving examples of the uses of 5G.B. By analyzing 5Gs development from 4G.C. By explaining the scientific principles of 5G.D. By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.29.

27、ch team collected snow samples (样本) from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland.

However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limi

30、ted number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study.

31、study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.

34、e transport of microplastics.C. The breakdown of plastic products.D. The description of microplastics.34. What did the research team find about microplastics?A. Many people threw them away at the Alps.B. They were delivered to remote areas through air.C. They could be caught sight of in the air.D. T

35、hey had no great effect on the environment.35. What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph?A. Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics. B. We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.C. The effect of microplastics on human must be urgen

36、tly researched.D. There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The first impression plays a major role in seeking a job.
