I will always be thankful that in his warmth he fulfilled my deepest dream (and need) of what a poet should be.”
“To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t think of him or speak of him. Once, just before he died, when he was sick with the flu, I took him a full basket of oranges. The joy I felt in giving that simple gift is undiminished by time. He said he liked oranges, too.”

27、 Your Internet experience is ruined when the net speed is too slow – it takes so long to open a web page and a video you’re watching stops every few minutes. That can be very annoying.
But it could be a thing of the past. On June 3, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that China would issue(颁发)licenses of 5G. It means the age of 5G is coming.
The “G” in “5G” refers to the generations of mobile network technologies. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.
Now 5G means much faster data download and upload speeds, and more stable(稳定的) connections. It also means that you will be able to download an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay between sending and receiving data. For example, when you have a video chat with your friend, there is generally a 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) delay with 4G, but 5G will reduce the delay to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real time.
What changes will 5G bring us?
According to the Straits Times, 5G will be able to improve many advanced technologies, such as driverless cars, and entertainment. With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid potential(潜在的) dangers. Besides, VR(虚拟现实) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
Does 5G have any disadvantages?
According to the BBC, though 5G will make our lives more convenient, it will not be perfect. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission base(传输基地)and hardly lose signal. But 5G will only cover about 300 meters, meaning that we will need more transmitters(发射器) so that we can get signals. And in order to use 5G, we will have to buy new products specifically designed for 5G that are expensive at present.
【1】According to the text, we know that ________.
A.You can surf the Internet with 2G service.
B.You can have a video chat with your friend with 4G service.
C.You can use any mobile phone to experience 5G services.
D.You can download an entire HD movie in seconds using 3G services.
【2】In the passage the function of the first paragraph is to ________.
A.introduce the topic of the text.
B.tell readers some feelings.
C.explain what 5G is.
D.make a comment of Internet experience.
【3】Why can driverless cars be more safely with a 5G network?
A.Because the short delay of 5G will make driverless cars feel even more comfortable.
B.Because driverless cars will be able to communicate in real time and avoid potential dangers.
C.Because the drivers will be more careful.
D.Because the drivers will hardly lose signal with5G network.
【4】Which of the following best explains “travel” underlined in the last paragraph?
A.旅行
B.盛行
C.传输
D.移动
28、 Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males (雄狮). But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the best share.
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.
【1】By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions _____.
A.are cruel animals B.are clever animals
C.like to take advantage of other animals D.like to take every chance to eat
【2】How can we know that lions are social animals?
A.They depend on each other. B.They look after each other well.
C.They readily share what they have. D.They enjoy each other’s company.
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Powerful Lions B.Lions at Work and Play
C.Lions, Social Cats D.Lions, Skilled Hunters
29、 If you also have a friend like Francia Raisa, you are really lucky. On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram(照片墙,一款社交软件) to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant(肾脏移植) from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.
People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses(医学诊断) seriously, like she did before.
Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic (西班牙裔)women, according to the Lupus Foundation.
Raisa is Latin(拉丁人), and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same race, people who share a similar racial background sometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing.
【1】What can we learn about Francia Raisa?
A. She is selfless. B. She is lucky.
C. She is optimistic. D. She is encouraging.
【2】What is lupus like at its early stage?
A. It is deadly. B. It reminds you of a kidney disease.
C. Its symptoms are psychological. D. It is hard to recognize.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. People with lupus. B. Colored women lupus patients.
C. Lupus patients with kidney disease. D. Women between the ages of 15 to 44.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Raisa and Gomez are from the same race.
B. It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.
C. Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.
D. The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better.

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
