【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：在过去十年里，华为投资四十亿美元开放5G，成为了5G 芯片、产品和网络的领导者。

根据it a leader…可知此处要用现在分词作结果状语，making现在分词表示主动动作，在此是作结果状语。

故选A项。

【点睛】本题考查了现在分词作结果状语。

现在分词作结果状语，结果状语的位置通常只能在句未，表示谓语动作所产生的结果。

如：
A terrible earthquake happened in China in 2008, causing thousands of deaths.
2008年中国发生了一场大地震，造成了上万人死亡。

The teacher passed away making all the students very sad.
老师去世了，这使得所有学生非常难过。

45. 副词修饰动词，故答案为uniquely。

46. 句意：当地人民的节日、婚礼、庆典、葬礼和宗教活动的习俗。

此处用名词的复数形式，故答案为activities。

47. 句意：2006年，壮族人民的铜鼓被国务院列入国家文化遗产名录。

三、阅读理解
18. We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul-why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, You're a lucky dog. That's being friendly. But lucky dog? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture（姿态）? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
45. This passage is mainly about .
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. Why we go wrong with people sometimes
46. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but means another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
47. In the second paragraph, the underlined word it refers to .
A. being friendly
B. lucky dog
C. a bit of envy
D. your luck
48. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is .
A. notice the way the person is talking
B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

19. One evening last summer, 11-year-old Owen and his mom put on white suits and taped their rain boots to their pant legs. Then they each grabbed a wooden pole with a large white cloth attached to it and started dragging the tools through the trees and grass in their Wisconsin backyard.
They were looking for ticks(扁虱虫). Owen’s mom, Amy Prunuske, teaches microbiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Wausau. She studies diseases that ticks carry. Owen, though, is known as a citizen
scientist. Citizen scientists are people—young or old—who help collect data for research projects. They usually aren’t professional scientists, or if they are, not in the fi eld of the project. Still, their work can be incredibly important. Citizen scientists can help trained scientists gather data from all over the world—even from space. They can provide new ideas and new ways of thinking.
Kids often make great citizen scientists because they tend to be curious and good at following precise directions. Sometimes they’re even better at these things than adults. And schools are convenient places for scientists to recruit big groups of helpers. As a bonus, citizen science often gets kids more excited about science.
Citizen science takes advantage not just of many sets of eyeballs, but also of many minds. When professional European scientists in Austria were trying to find how best to encourage people to use less energy, they partnered with student citizen scientists. The adult scientists had a long list of questions for people about how much energy they used. Right away, the students noticed some problems the adults hadn’t thought of. There were too many questions, the kids said. A nd some of those questions were too complicated.
The day in the backyard, Owen found two black-legged ticks, animals so tiny they’re often hard to see. He and his mom took the pests to a summer program she was teaching. There, he and other young citizen scientists tested the ticks for the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, which causes fever and headaches and can make a person extremely tired.
1. Why did Owen go to catch ticks with his mom?
A. To provide data for professional scientists.
B. To prepare for his own future research.
C. To help her study the diseases carried by ticks.
D. To prevent ticks from spreading diseases.
2. What do we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Citizen science is mostly carried out at school.
B. Students only help find answers to basic questions.
C. Student scientists are more creative in scientific research.
D. Young citizen scientists help professional scientists a lot
3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Find New Ways of Research
B. Kids Make Great Citizen Scientists
C. Scientists Need New Ideas from Kids
D. Kids Show Great Interest in Science
参考答案：
1. C
2. D
3. B
