If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But they are not real stars. They are man-made satellites.

The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year. Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are part of the space program, the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In

If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G.The "G" stands for the "generation （代）" of your mobile phone network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it to do many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag （延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle （障碍物）, it sends he information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive the information with this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer according to CNN.
5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things （IoT）. This means a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your fridge could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left.（1）In which city was 5G tested for the first time in China?
A. Beijing
B. Shanghai
C. Guangzhou
D. Shenzhen
（2）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to ________.
A. explain how self-driving cars work
B. tell us the possible danger of self-driving cars
C. let us know how helpful 5G's fast speed can be
D. show us how 5G will bring faster mobile Internet
（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The first 5G video call was made on a computer on March 30.
B. With the help of 5G, people can only download and upload data faster.
C. Self-driving test cars might not crash if they can receive instructions in time.
D. The IoT is a fridge that can order eggs automatically when there are no eggs left.
（4）The passage mainly talks about ________.
A. the IoT
B. 5G networks
C. self-driving cars
D. Huawei smartphones
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】【分析】主要讲了5G网络及其用途。

（1）细节题。

根据Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.可知上海是第一个开始测试5G网络的城市，故选B。

（2）细节题。

根据With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer according to CNN.可知在5G的帮助下车将是更安全的，故选C。

（3）推断题。

When we finished our food, I asked for our bill. To our surprise, the waitress didn't want to give it to us. She said we were travellers and she was happy to serve us.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. We can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least I million animal species disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of terrible news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.
Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes are sold at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behaviour not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise people's awareness to protect animals and our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.
（1）From the first paragraph, we Can learn that
A. the number of animal species decreases faster and faster
B. the number of animal species increases faster and faster
C. the number of animal species increases more and more
D. the number of animals increases more and more.
（2）When did at least 1 million animal species disappear?
A. From 1908 to 2010.
B. From 1980 to 2011.
C. From 1980 to 2010.
D. From 1981 to 2010.
（3）Where did animal skin go?
A. The museums.
B. Home.
C. The fashion clothes factories.
D. The libraries.（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 3?
A. We must make laws to protect these animals in danger.
B. We must take some measures to protect animals effectively.
C. We should raise people's awareness to protect animals and our environment.
D. We should breed wild animals.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sports, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the Earth forever. Hundreds of animals are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.
