21、All networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because people already have access to 5G. So, what’s so special about a 5G future? First of all, its download speed can be as fast as 20GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times faster than that of 4G. But what’s more impressive is 5G’s low delay rate. Now, 4G takes an average of 200 milliseconds to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.
5G is a great breakthrough (突破). It’s going to change the way equipment connects to the Internet, and more importantly, to each other. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. Human reaction (反应) time is 200milliseconds, yet we still have accidents every day. The self-driving car under the 5G network could react and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within 1 millisecond. It’ll play a great role in preventing car accidents and completely ending traffic jams.
5G can benefit us in many other ways. Operations could be performed by robots controlled by experts from the other side of the world. Therefore, more lives will be saved in time. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their tasks to each other, and they can do more work over the 5G network. As a result, more labour forces will be freed.
However, 5G is not perfect. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15- to 40-centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On the4G network, the signal (信号) can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it can’t even go through walls or rain. So, what does that mean? Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of signal towers in the future.
【1】How does the author introduce 5G in paragraph 1?
A．By giving examples of the uses of 5G.
B．By reviewing 5G’s development from 4G.
C．By providing some basic information of 5G.
D．By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.
【2】Why are self-driving cars mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To explain the role of self-driving cars.
B．To prove the importance of 5G.
C．To show the advantage of 5G.
D．To tell the progress of self-driving cars.
【3】What does the underlined part “be staffed by robots” mean?
A．Be built by robots.
B．Produce more robots.
C．Offer employees robots.
D．Have robots as workers.
【4】What can we know about the 5G signal?
A．It uses longer waves.
B．It needs more signal towers.
C．It travels a longer distance.
D．It won’t be affected by weather.
22、When early humans arrived in Europe around 45,000 years ago, they found Neanderthals (尼安德特人) already there. The interbreeding (杂交繁殖) between Homo sapiens (智人) and Neanderthals happened more often than scientists had assumed. That’s the conclusion of two new studies.
Scientists analyzed ancient DNA from a tooth and two bone pieces. They were the remains of three people unearthed in the Bacho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria. The bones’ owners lived 45,000 years ago. That makes them the oldest known human remains in Europe. Stone tools of late Stone Age humans were found in the same soil. With the DNA still inside the bone, scientists showed that Neanderthals contributed about 3 to 4 percent of the humans’ DNA. All of the Becho Kiro individuals had recent Neanderthals ancestors, as few as five to seven generations back in their family trees, says geneticist Mateja Hajdinjak.
A second study shows further evidence of ancient interbreeding. Scientists discovered a nearly complete human skull in 1950. They found it in a cave in what’s now the Crech Republic. A new analysis of its DNA shows it came from a female. Her DNA suggests she also lived around 45,000 years ago. And about 2 percent of her genes come from Neanderthals, said Kay Prüfer, who is a geneticist.
These human fossils aren’t the first ones found with bits of Neanderthal DNA. But they appear to be the oldest. These data show for the first time that different human populations reached Europe fewer than 50,000 years ago. Neanderthals interbred with all the groups detected so far. Some of their genes live on today in our DNA. Neanderthals died out around 40,000 years ago, but some of their genes live on in humans. Nearly 2 percent of the DNA, on average, in non-African people comes from Neanderthal ancestors. Present-day Africans have about 0.5 percent Netherlander DNA.
The new studies also suggest that some early humans to Europe had a long-lasting impact on our DNA. The Bacho Kiro people represent a newly identified group of ancient Europeans. They have genetic ties to present-day East Asians and Native Americans.
【1】What kind of people may live earliest in Europe?
A．East Asians.
B．Neanderthals.
C．Bacho Kiro individuals.
D．People buried in Czech.
【2】What did the second study show?
A．The skull found in 1950 had Neanderthal genes.
B．More skulls may exist in the caves.
C．The human skull came from a man.
D．The new analysis of DNA isn’t useful.
【3】Why do scientists think Neanderthals interbred with different people?
A．Many remains of Neanderthals have been found.
B．Different people went to Europe at that time.
C．Some Neanderthal genes remain in today’s people.
D．Some today’s people look like Neandertals.
【4】Who may have the least genes of Neandertals?
A．People in Europe.
B．People in East Asian.
C．People in native America.
D．People in Africa.

It follows the adventures of a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro, voiced by Zhou Dongyu, as she wanders around the spirit world to bring her parents back to their original form after turning into pigs. In the magical world, she encounters challenges and a cunning witch, voiced by Wang Lin, who wants to keep Chihiro as her servant forever. She also meets a boy named Haku, voiced by Jing Boran, who will help her through the journey, Peng Yuchang gives life to Kaonashi, and Tian Zhuangzhuang takes the role of Kamaji.

25、 Early in my career, I was always struck by the fact that “expensive” hotels charged extra for things like internet access and movies. At the same time, more ______ hotels included everything. Although these less expensive hotels did not have _______ lobbies (大堂), they did offer the things that a young and tired _______ would want: a clean room and a quiet environment.
For the high prices you pay at nice hotels, everything should be ______. They should give refunds (退款) for the things you don’t _______ instead of cheating their customers.
I once read an article about a judge who was invited to a very expensive restaurant in Washington. The restaurant’s food and service were both _______. But there was something that ruined the ________: the judge was charged $1 for the ice in his $7 mixed drink. The fact that he was charged the extra dollar separately – instead of just being charged $8 – made him so ________ that instead of talking about how wonderful everything was at the _______, he only talked about the $1. Needless to say, he ______ went back to that restaurant.
I see the ______ thing is starting to happen in the airline industry. For example, American Airlines is charging $3.50 for snacks and $7 for meals. ______ , sodas and water are still free. The airline should just charge a _______ fare and give you a refund for what you don’t want or use.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I ran after the train, shouting, “Hey mister, can’t you see me?” It was hopeless, as no conductor is going to slow down for a 60-year-old man who got to the station several minutes late. They absolutely didn’t know how important that day, that train ride was to me! I was on my way to an interview for what could have been the opportunity of a lifetime.
I threw both my hat and my art case down in depression, and sat down on the nearest chair, wiping (擦掉) the sweat from my face and breathing heavily. I would have to wait a whole day for the next train, and by then my appointment with the gallery owner would have given up on me. Perhaps it was for the best. It was, after all, the first time in 40 years anyone had shown such an interest in my art. Maybe if the gallery owner had seen all my paintings, he would have changed his mind about offering me space on his walls.
Disappointment filled my soul. Should I dial the gallery and get an interview on a different day? But Pierre Gianni was the owner of the most well-known gallery in New York City. Why would he give a rare second chance to an elderly nobody when he had the newest, coolest young artists to choose from?
Come to think of it, perhaps these insecurities were the very reason I had never been offered a show before. I was too afraid to try. I found countless excuses not to offer my work up to be seen and perhaps criticized. I told myself it would hurt too much if I failed, but the truth was that I had never tried.
Finally, I gathered all my courage to dial the gallery, only to find my antique cell phone had broken down. It was at the very moment that I was in total despair and decided to go home.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly I felt a touch on my shoulder.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I got to the gallery on time.
