26、We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than 4G systems. Such improvements are sure to be popular with 5G users worldwide. While it is set to start only in just a few areas of the United States this year, much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive this service until 2023.
One project in Britain, though, is already testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experimental subjects are an unlikely group of internet users – cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate (使自动化) the milking process.
The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. Testing areas were set up at farm in three rural (农村的) areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connceted devices (设备) that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process.
System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines offer food for the cow as a reward.
One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet in southwest England. There, about 50 of the farm’s 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and ear sensors(传感器). Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors help farmers immediately find problems or health concerns.
Duncan Forbes, the project leader, told Reuters that so far, he thinks the project shows the farm’s cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology.
Forbes added that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future “not just on farm, but in rural communities right across the country.”
【1】What do we know about 5G technology from the first two paragraphs?
A．It has changed our lives.
B．it has more users than 4G.
C．It has not been widely used.
D．It has been used on cows in the US.
【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The introduction of 5G devices.
B．The milking process with 5g technology.
C．The purpose of system designers
D．The way machines provide cows with food.
【3】Why are some cows equipped with ear sensors?
A．To recognize every cow.
B．To judge the position of the cow.
C．To reduce the harm from devices.
D．To find health problems in cows.
27、Some of Hawaii’s most popular musical artists have appeared before an unlikely audience, who are from a small elementary school on Oahu’s coast.
They all come with a purpose: The headmaster dreamed up the virtual concerts, presenting artists like internationally famous ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro, as a way of bringing together a community struggling with the pandemic. “We have probably the best ukulele player — one of the best ukulele musicians in the entire world — come and play for you guys tonight,” said Headmaster Keoki Fraser as children and parents tuned in from home computers. Fraser is trying to organize concerts every several weeks as his school, like most public schools in Hawaii, continues to educate its students remotely.
Tabitha Persaud, mom of three students, remembers Fraser coming to the parent-teacher association with the idea of approaching big names. “Can we do that?” she wondered. “Will they do that for us?”
“They’re in the same situation as we are. So, I mean, they don’t have to go anywhere or leave their home. We just hit them up,” said Fraser, who graduated from the local high school. “We love to get people that are influential and the kids look up to.”
During a recent Friday concert, Fraser invited former student Dylan Kunz, now a seventh grader, to play ukulele as one of the student performers to open for Shimabukuro. Kunz, who likes Shimabukuro, was excited. “He’s the reason I started playing,” he said. “It keeps me motivated to keep playing.”
The concerts are open to all. For one performance, about 1,200 viewers tuned in. “I think it’s so much fun to see the smiling, happy faces of all the kids,” said Amy Kunz, Dylan’s mom. “I think Headmaster Fraser, in doing this, is really hitting home from social and emotional aspects. Even though we’re not in school, we can still make these connections and have fun.”
【1】What’s Headmaster Fraser’s purpose in organizing the concerts?
A．To encourage his students to learn from the musicians.
B．To develop closer ties between educators and kids.
C．To get his community united in the pandemic.
D．To strengthen the parent-teacher relations.
【2】What concerned Tabitha Persaud before the concert?
A．Whether her family would be allowed to attend it.
B．Whether players like Shimabukuro would show up.
C．Whether Headmaster Fraser would agree with her idea.
D．Whether the parent-teacher association would break up.
【3】What does the underlined part “hit them up” in the paragraph 4 mean?
A．Cheer them up.
B．Ask them for help.
C．Teach them a lesson.
D．Compete with them.
【4】How did Amy Kunz respond to Headmaster Fraser’s behavior?
A．Grateful.
B．Curious.
C．Doubtful.
D．Worried

29、The end of British pub culture?
British beer and pubs are famous around the world. Things are changing.【1】
For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to communicate and exchange news.【2】As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit.
Many British pubs have old names referring to the monarchs, such as the King’s Head or the Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn’t mean they are only for kings and queens. 【3】 On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
That’s how it used to be.【4】Economic downturns, governmental financial policies, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the numbers of customers going to pubs since then.
【5】Now there are a number of different types of pubs. Besides a “traditional pub”, a “gastro pub” serves higher-quality food than usual. And a “theme pub” caters to specific types of customers, such as sports or karaoke fans.
As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. And with various “save the pub” campaign, there are signs that people are regathering around these new kinds of pubs while supporting the traditional ones to back its great British custom with pride.
A．Don’t British people like drinking beer?
B．After all, the word “pub” is actually short for “public house”.
C．However, is this the end of a great British tradition?
D．To save their business, pubs are trying to enrich their contents to attract new customers.
E．Some pubs are allowed by law to stay open after 11 pm.
F．Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society.
G．Now there are worrying signs that things are beginning to get worse.
