I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed veryclose-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see s o many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn’t even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?A. People there cared little about others.B. People there liked to accept new things.C. Living there was a great disadvantage.D. There were many chances of career development.25. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The fast pace of life.D. The crowded streets.26. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A. Traveling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C. A big place in his / her town.D. Everybody likes talking about others.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCYou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.The US government is especially worried about the problem. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeine’s effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids.However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.28.What is the US government particularly concerned about?A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.B. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.C. The measures of avoiding caffeine’s effects.D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.29.Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.A. caffeine’s effe cts on healthB. teenagers’ addiction to caffeineC. drinks which contain much caffeineD. people’s concern about teenagers’ health30.Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.A. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine’s effectsB. the process of the government’s controlling the use of caffeineC. the government’s responsibility of taking care of teenagersD. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays31. The author may agree that _______.A. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagersB. food makers don’t add much caffeine to many products nowC. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers’ studyD. getting enough sleep can make people energeticDSlowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. Here’s what y ou need to knowabout the state of 5G right now.Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U.S. Top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But 5G promises gigabit(千兆）speeds. Most of us have never experienced anything close to speeds that fast---even Google Fiber tops out at 1 Gbps. And we’re only talking about the first generation of 5G modems. Future chips will likely be even faster. It’s not all about speed though. Part of the appeal of 5G is that it also brings much higher capacity to mobile networks, meaning that networks will be able to support many more data connections. In addition, 5G is a huge upgrade over 4G when it comes to latency(延迟), or the amount of time it takes for data to be transmitted. Because 5G networks support extremely low-latency connections, devices will be able to communicate much faster than previously possible.Put all this together and you begin to understand why 5G is such a big deal--- and not just for the smartphone industry. It has huge implications for just about every connected device. The technology will be essential for self-driving cars, which will need to be able to communicate with the world around them as quickly as possible. Lower latency and higher capacity means that cars will actually be able to communicate with their surrounding environment fast enough to enable them to actually be fully autonomous.The downside of all this, at least initially, will be all that extra speed is likely to come at a higher cost. Though we’ve seen a lot of positive pro gress just in the last year, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as pervasive（普遍的）as 4G is right now. Carriers and hardware companies are only just beginning to make commitments for 2019. But most in the industry agree that its popularity appears in 2020 at the earliest.32.How is the second paragraph developed?A. By making classification.B. By giving examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By giving definition.33. What’s the purpose of mentioning self-driving cars in paragraph 3?A. To introduce 5G into the automotive field.B. To encourage consumers to buy self-driving cars.C. To emphasize the huge impact of 5G.D. To show the higher speed of 5G.34. What does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. 5G will probably be widely used in 2020.B. 5G will keep charging high fees for the foreseeable future.C. The tech companies have been promising 5G’s coming for years.D. The carriers have not set about popularizing 5G yet.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。
