24、   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 network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.

On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor（副市长）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 for 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 the information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive 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物联网）. This refers to 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 refrigerator could automatically place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案.

【1】In which city was 5G networks tested for the first time?

A．Beijing.

B．Shanghai.

C．Shenzhen.

【2】The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to ________.

A．explain how self-driving cars work

B．show us how advanced self-driving cars are

C．explain how 5Gs fast speed can be helpful

【3】According to the story, the IoT is ________.

A．a robot that can do housework

B．an online store where you can buy anything

C．a large online network that connects things and people

【4】We can infer（推论）from the passage that ________.

A．5G will be all over China

B．there are no symbols at the top of our phones

C．we can now buy self-driving cars

【5】The refrigerator is mentioned to ________.

A．describe the importance of IoT

B．introduce how to use the IoT

C．encourage people to try the new product

25、It was once thought that only time could mend a broken heart, but now scientists think taking a couple of aspirin might be the best way to get over a break-up.

Previous studies have shown that people experience feelings of romantic rejection (失恋) in the same way that they experience physical pain. And Psychology Professor Water Michel, of Columbia University, also believes that the psychological pain of ending a relationship is similar to physical pain, and should be treated like any other injury. “When we speak about rejection experiences in terms of physical pain, it is not just a metaphor – the broken heart and emotional pain really do hurt in a physical way," he said. “When you look at a picture of the one who broke your heart, you experience a pain in a similar area of the brain which is activated when you burn your arm. ”

Research shows that people who are given a simple painkiller, like aspirin, are able to handle feelings of rejection better than those given a placebo (安慰剂) .

‘Take two aspirins and call me next morning’ would be a cold-hearted response to a friend’s late-night report of fresh heartbreak, but it has a solid basis in the research.

【1】The aspirin is a kind of _________.

A. wine B. fruit C. dessert   D. medicine

【2】According to the passage, maybe taking aspirins can ______.

A. mend a broken heart   B. burn your arm

C. make people feel pain   D. help people get over a break-up.

【3】The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. pains   B. hearts   C. people D. areas

【4】The best summary for the passage would be “Broken-hearted? _______________ !”.

A. Just take an aspirin or two

B. Just call me at any time

C. Just wait for a long time

D. Just eat as much as you can

However, to control the new coronavirus outbreak （新型冠状病毒爆发）, many schools have delayed（延迟 ）the start of the semester, following instruction from the Ministry of Education（MOE）.
