【题目】 Slowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19. 42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit （千兆）speeds.
“5G is one of those heralds （使者），along with artificial intelligence , of this coming data age.” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age，and that is to say，it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure （基础设施）construction. There is lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.
And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist— or even replace — smart phones.
Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don't get too excited. There is still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.A right security of 5G.B.The super speed of 5G.
C.A potential dream of 5G.D.The present world of 5G.
【2】What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?
A.They will be heavier than present ones.
B.They will process power on their own.
C.They will serve people instead of smart phones.
D.They will bring a big fortune to tech companies.
【3】What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?
A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B.How to effectively reduce 5G trials.
C.How to nicely operate 5G hardware.
D.How to widely construct 5G big cities.

【题目】 Last summer, bird-watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia（柬埔寨）: the Combodian tailorbird. It was not an event of particular biological significance but it was striking for one reason: This species of tailorbird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but within the limits of Combodia’s capital, Phnom Penh.
We don’t typically think of the city as a likely habitat for natural life except rats and pigeons（鸽子）, let alone as a hiding place for an undiscovered species of bird. But a new paper, published last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, proves it incorrect. A team of 24 researchers has studied birds and plants in 147 cities, and found that cities much more closely resemble their native habitats than they resemble each other.
It’s also true that in the world of birds and plants, as in human society, there is such thing as a world species who feels equally at home in Francisco, Milan and Beijing. Four birds appear in more than 80 percent of the cities studied, and 11 plants in more than 90 percent of the cities. On the plant side, those include meadow grass, shepherd’s purse, weeds. In the air, it’s the usual species: the pigeon, the house sparrow and the European starling（惊鸟）. They all have become completely adapted to urban life.
However, not all cities are equal protectors of plants and animals, though. City design plays an important role in greening a city. In fact, the amount of green space is a stronger predictor of the biodiversity than a city’s size.
In a world where architecture, food, language, fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized, a city’s native plants and animals are considered as a kind of city identity. Cities tend to become similar, but their natural environments stand differently apart.
【1】What does the author think of the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird?
A.It is just an exception.
B.It is a wonder for the Cambodians.
C.It is an amazing biological event.
D.It is very common in the world.
【2】Weeds and sparrows are found in many cities. This seems to be a result of ________.
A.complete adaption
B.natural selection
C.good urban design
D.rapid globalization
【3】We can learn that while cities tend to become similar, their natural environments ________.
A.are becoming worse
B.remain diverse
C.are expanding in size
D.stay unchanged
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Discovery of New Species of Bird in Cambodia
B.The Similarity of the Habitats in Different Cities
C.City’s Native Plants and Animals—A Kind of City Identity
D.City—Protector of Native Plants and Animals

【题目】 LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday in Calabasas. California, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people. The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions, and the cause of the crash is under investigation.
Family members, friends and fans are mourning the death of the basketball great Kobe Bryant. Looking back to his whole life, Bryant was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation. Even after his retirement, Kobe Bryant is still a winner. The former Los Angeles Lakers star won an Oscar in the animated short category for "Dear Basketball,” a poem he wrote after ending his 20-year career on the court in 2016.
He’ll add it to an already jammed trophy collection that includes five NBA championships with the Lakers, two Olympic gold medals, NBA Finals most valuable player awards, a league MVP award and four All-Star game MVP awards.
Since hanging up his basketball shoes, Bryant has thrown himself into business (a new Nike shoe) and various forms of storytelling.
“As basketball players, we're told to shut up and dribble（运球）,” Bryant once said on stage. “I’m glad we did a little bit more than that.”
He thanked his wife, Vanessa, and his three daughters, naming each of them. He spoke a few words of Italian — a language he learned as a child growing up in Italy — and closed by telling them, “You arc my inspiration.'
He was just getting started. And now he's gone.
The tributes（悼念）will continue, though eventually fade away. The legacy will be forever.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.The cause of the crash is still unknown.
B.The foggy conditions are to blame for the helicopter crash.
C.Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles.

【题目】Team Building
Almost no one can get away from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:
【1】
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realize the value and significance of their functions. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive.
Open Communication
【2】 For example, they may discuss a sensitive topic. Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? In the case, any individual voice is by no means a sure thing. So an honest discussion is expected to make sure all the members agree on.
Respect to All Team Members
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. 【3】 People that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
Conflict Solving
Disagreements are natural and, in fact, heated debate should be encouraged. 【4】 Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a dispute that involves only two people, so “under-the-table” method may be effective.
Leadership
【5】 A good organizer should be able to play to individuals’ strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. He must be skilled in motivating people, sharing responsibility and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Successful team working is marked by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.
A.Measuring Progress against Goals.
B.Common Goals with Challenging Target.
C.Most high-performing teams are well organized.
D.This is not only discouraging, it also makes no sense.
E.A team made up only of “yes men” can make disastrous decisions.
F.Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.
G.Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized.

【题目】阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Anthony Ant had hundreds of friends, but sometimes he still felt alone. Anthony lived in an anthill in the crack of a sidewalk. All of his friends looked just like Anthony: small, and brown, with six legs and two wiggling antennas (触角). Every day, Anthony and his ant friends lined up to march out of the anthill and across the sidewalk to the tall grass. There they looked for crumbs and seeds to bring back to the anthill for supper.
“Why do we always have to stay in line?”Anthony asked. “I want to go into the grass on my own and see what there is to see.”
“I don’t know,” said Abby, a friend of Anthony. “This is the way we’ve always done it.”
“That doesn’t seem like a very good reason,” Anthony said. “I’m going to turn left up here at the maple root.”
And he did.
None of the other ants came with Anthony, because they always did what they were told.
On his own, Anthony had a much nicer view of the maple root. He could see all the way to a distant flower bed, where colorful blossoms towered over the grassy space.
Anthony decided to walk to the flowers, but after an hour of walking, they seemed just as far away as ever. He had never been so tired. He decided to turn around.
When he did, Anthony couldn’t see the path home. The grass had closed in around him，and he was lost. Usually he just followed the ant line in front of him to find the way, but now he was all alone.
Anthony walked in the direction he thought was home, but he was starting to feel scared. A bird flew overhead. Should he ask the bird for help, or should he hide? Anthony knew that some birds ate ants, but he couldn’t remember which ones were nice and which ones were hungry.
注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Para 1: He hesitated, wondering what to do.

You Should Read Every Day, Why?
I ask you a question. When was the last time you read a book, or a magazine article? Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Internet? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don’t make a habit of reading consistently you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a noteworthy number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below.
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better prepared you are to overcome any challenge you’ll ever face. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.
At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things easily. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is!
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other fields while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.
Benefits of Reading | Details |
Knowledge Accumulation | The more you read, the more adequately it 【1】 you for various troubles in life. Knowledge is what will stay with you【2】. |
Vocabulary 【3】 | Your rich vocabulary may favour you in your job and make you confident when you talk with your leaders. It also means you are a great reader with rich knowledge, which gives you a big 【4】over others in promotions. Words in context will help a foreign language learner use the language 【5】. |
【6】improvement | You will try to keep in mind the 【7】 of a book while reading and that is somewhat 【8】 for your brain. The more you try to remember, the 【9】you will be at remembering. |
Stress reduction | An interesting reading will transfer your attention to its plots so that you feel 【10】and forget about your worries. |
