You can apply to be a community response volunteer, collecting and delivering supplies for those in isolation; a patient transport volunteer, helping patients who are dismissed from hospital get home and settled; and an NHS transport volunteer, to assist with delivery of medical supplies.

【题目】 5G has the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries, including one of the world’s oldest: Farming. Next-generation 5G networks can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much quicker. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.
UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a “connected” cow and receive daily updates on the animal’s health and behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco (CSCO). The cows wear 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they’re eating to how they’re sleeping. Farmers can see the information instantly. “This provides peace of mind that the cows are happy, healthy and behaving normally, as well as early warning if they are getting sick, are pregnant or need to be checked,” said project manager Duncan Forbes.
Yet to make a difference, 5G will first need to be installed in rural areas. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that in order to provide for the world’s rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. “To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands,” reads one report from the organization.
In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous Automatic tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply.
【1】Why can 5G help the farming?
A.Because it can carry more information.
B.Because it can be equipped with sensors.
C.Because it can disrupt a lot of industries.
D.Because it can be installed in rural areas.
【2】What did farmers do firstly if they wanted to use Me+Moo?
A.They founded a tech company.
B.They let the cows wear 5G-connected collars.
C.They kept cows behaving normally.
D.They made sure the cows were checked often.
【3】According to FAO, how will the world solve the food problem?
A.People should control the rising population.
B.People should find more and more land.
C.People should turn to the new technology.
D.People should learn to get more money.
【4】How did RuralFirst decide what kind of fertilizer to apply?
A.It analyzed the soil.
B.It dug earth with tractors.
C.It employed experts.
D.It hired drones with sensors.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
This is a story about a book that just kept selling, catching publishers, booksellers and even its author off guard. The book is Sapiens, by the Israeli academic Yuval Noah Harari, published in the UK in September 2014.It is a recondite(深奥的) work of evolutionary history charting the development of humankind through a scholarly examination of our ability to cooperate as a species.
Sapiens sold well on publication, particularly when it came out in paperback in the summer of 2015.What is remarkable about it, though, is that it's still selling in vast numbers. Sapiens has sold a further half million copies, establishing itself firmly at the top of the bestseller lists. The book's wild success is symptomatic of a broader trend in our book-buying habits: a surge in the popularity of intelligent, challenging nonfiction, often books that are several years old.
It was trade publication, the Booksellers, that first noted the rise of what is called the “brainy backlist”, it also highlighted a concomitant fall in the sales of the books that had been such a staple of publishers' catalogues-celebrity biographies. We are turning away from exciting but disposable stories of fame towards more serious, thoughtful, quiet books that help us understand our place in the world. Mark Richards, publisher at John Murray Prese, see the return to serious works of nonfiction as a response to the spirit of the age, “People have a hunger both for information and facts, and for nuanced(有细微差别的) exploration of issues, of a sort that books are in a prime position to provide.” he says.
In the end, the story of Sapiens is about a book becoming part of a national conversation. At a time when politics is more furious and fragmented than ever, when technology is colonizing our everyday existence.

【题目】Life Lessons Everyone Learns the Hard Way
No matter how much we try to be intellectual, life has its own ways of teaching us the valuable lessons. Though initially we are hurt and very shocked, we eventually learn from those experiences, and mature. 【1】 And we learn to be always optimistic and happy with the way it is.
Lying is harmful. Everyone at some point in life must have definitely realized that lying is a very dangerous thing for the mind, which ultimately affects health, too. Lying makes a man lose the trust of others. 【2】
Sometimes moving on is the only option. Some things are very dear to us, and we can't imagine life without those activities or people. But sometimes, circumstances and situations arrange in such a way that it is better to leave something and move ahead. 【3】 At times, it is better to move on with the memories, rather than stay there and live in a blank space with no possible future.
【4】 In the race of being a perfectionist and an ideal grown-up, every mistake committed by us becomes a mistake in our minds and we become annoyed with ourselves. It is rightly said, "To err （(犯错) ）is human." We are all humans, so nobody knows everything, and it is fine to forgive ourselves for the things that went wrong. 【5】
A.It is natural to make mistakes.
B.Happiness is the care of everything.
C.It is wrong if some things don't work out.
D.We understand that life is beautiful with its own flaws （瑕疵）.
E.And he would finally lose confidence and trust on his own self.
F.Everything has its tenure （保有期限）, and it is the beauty of it.
G.What we should do is try to avoid repeating them or doing any wrong intentionally.

【题目】 Sometimes while sitting doing nothing, our minds recall events from the past that make us all tingly inside. I had one of those moments yesterday. I believe this was triggered（引起）by the oldie The Impossible Dream that was playing on the radio yesterday afternoon!
In 1971, returning from our regular Friday night pregame meeting, I had no sooner walked in the door of our three-room apartment hack than the phone rang. It was the township police. They inquired if I was the football coach. I answered yes and asked if there was a problem. He said our football team had climbed the fence of the township football field and were sitting somewhere around the 50-yard line quietly. It was really not a problem. However, he thought I would like to know. I called my assistants, and made our way to the field.
We met the police at the locked gate. The field was dark and silent. Then, suddenly, we heard voices singing—together and on key—the team theme song, The Impossible Dream. Silently, we listened and became overwhelmed（压倒）with emotion. Even the policemen had tears rolling down their cheeks. When the team had finished, they walked slowly to the now-opened gate of the field and were shocked to see us waiting there. Of course, our first words were, "What is going on?"
Mike Bernert, the team captain, replied, "Well, coach, you told us to visualize our performance in our mind just before the night of the game. So we came and visualized the upcoming game while sitting on the 50-yard line. Afterward, we would sing The Impossible Dream.”
The coaches and I were overwhelmed. And of course, the team, which was undefeated at this point, never lost a game that season.
【1】What does the underlined word “tingly” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Frightened.B.Excited.
C.Worried.D.Puzzled.
【2】Why did the police call?
A.The team did something unusual.
B.The team had conflicts with fans.
C.The team locked themselves in the football field.
D.The team damaged the fences of the playground.
【3】How did the team feel when they saw the author and the policeman?
A.Happy.B.Sad.
C.Ashamed.D.Surprised.
【4】What is the purpose for the team to sing the song?
A.To enjoy themselves.B.To inspire themselves.
C.To celebrate their success.D.To rest themselves.
