Once upon a time a little leaf was heard to cry, as leaves often did when a gentle wind passed by. The twig (小枝) asked, "What's the matter, little leaf?" The leaf said, "The wind just told me that one day it will pull me off!" When the tree heard this, it swung all over and promised the leaf, "You will not go till you want to."
The sunny days of the autumn came. The little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were in both colors. The little leaf asked the tree what it meant. The tree said, "All these leaves are ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy."
The little leaf wanted to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it. When it was very bright in color, it saw the branches (树枝) of the tree had no color in them. The leaf asked, "Branches, why are you brown?" "We must keep our working clothes on. Your clothes are for holiday, because your tasks are over," said a branch.
Just then a little puff of wind came, took the leaf up and turned it over and over. The little leaf was like the fire in the air, and fell down silently among hundreds of other leaves. It began to dream — a dream so beautiful that perhaps it would last forever.
19. The tree wanted to ________ the little leaf at first.
A protect B. give up C. control D. go with

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you're playing mobile games or making a video call, the picture suddenly freezes (卡顿) because the network speed is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.
These annoying things will soon become things of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses (发放商业牌照) for 5G networks on June 6. This means that China's telecommunications (电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.
The "G" stands for generation (代). 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?
First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow us to download an entire HD movie in a second. The delay (延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒), while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.
Because of this increase in speed, it will possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with other cars, traffic lights and road sensors (传感器). 5G also makes the Internet of Things (IOT, 物联网) possible.
All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen.
23. From the first paragraph that ________.
A. people can't download a movie at all on the phone
B. making a video call is impossible for phone users
C. sometimes the network speed is too slow to use
D. mobile games can't be downloaded on the phone
24. What happened on June 6 according to the passage?
A. China just gave commercial licenses officially for 5G networks.
B. Every mobile phone user could improve the network speed.
C. Most mobile phone users didn't use 4G anymore.
D. All the mobile phones are much cheaper than before.
25. The underlined word "them" refers to "___________".
A. operations B. robots C. 5G phones D. speeds
26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. 5G will make people's life much easier and more convenient.
B. Self-driving cars will become safer because of the use of 5G.
C. Using 5G to download something doesn't take any time at all.
D. 5G can make people download an entire HD movie in a second.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a "lesson" in sorting (分类) garbage, as the city introduced new garbage-sorting regulations (规章) on July 1, 2019.
As China's first city to carry out strict regulations on garbage sorting and recycling, Shanghai requires its residents (居民) to sort garbage into four categories (类别), namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.
Since the regulation took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced by an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent from the end of 2018, while the average daily weight of recyclables hits 4,500 tons, five times higher than the end of 2018, according to the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau.
The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste bins have been updated (更新). The city's waste collection and transportation system (运输系统) is complete, according to the bureau.
"Proper waste sorting protects the environment and saves natural resources," said Deng Jianping, director of the bureau. "Led by the central government, Shanghai is making efforts to develop long-term solutions to garbage management."
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping (倾倒). According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin.
This separation is necessary, as it ensures that the wet garbage will decompose (分解) properly and become useful organic (有机的) waste, the bureau said.
Plastic bags can affect this process. Some people in Shanghai are instead using paper bags that can biodegrade (生物降解) or plastic containers that can be washed and reused, according to Xinhua.
27. People in Shanghai are asked to sort their garbage into the _________ categories.
A. recyclable, dry, harmful and kitchen waste
B. recyclable, kitchen, dry and "other" waste
C. harmful, recyclable, dry and "other" waste
D. harmful, recyclable, dry and wet waste
28. What does the third paragraph tell us?
A. The garbage-sorting regulation has already brought improvements.
B. Recyclable waste comes out to two-thirds of the total daily waste.
C. In 2019, people produced less waste than in 2018.
D. Shanghai needs stricter rules to deal with waste.
29. According to Deng Jianping, Shanghai __________.
A. has added more than 40,000 waste bins
B. has had problems with garbage management
C. will help other cities make garbage-sorting regulations
D. is still looking for long-term solutions to deal with garbage
30. This article tells us __________.
A. why Shanghai must sort their garbage
B. some achievement of the garbage-sorting regulation in Shanghai.
C. the reason of the garbage-sorting regulation and some achievement
D. how to protect our environment

Once upon a time a little leaf was heard to cry, as leaves often did when a gentle wind passed by. The twig (小枝) asked, "What's the matter, little leaf?" The leaf said, "The wind just told me that one day it will pull me off!" When the tree heard this, it swung all over and promised the leaf, "You will not go till you want to."
The sunny days of the autumn came. The little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were in both colors. The little leaf asked the tree what it meant. The tree said, "All these leaves are ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy."
The little leaf wanted to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it. When it was very bright in color, it saw the branches (树枝) of the tree had no color in them. The leaf asked, "Branches, why are you brown?" "We must keep our working clothes on. Your clothes are for holiday, because your tasks are over," said a branch.
Just then a little puff of wind came, took the leaf up and turned it over and over. The little leaf was like the fire in the air, and fell down silently among hundreds of other leaves. It began to dream — a dream so beautiful that perhaps it would last forever.

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you're playing mobile games or making a video call, the picture suddenly freezes (卡顿) because the network speed is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.
These annoying things will soon become things of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses (发放商业牌照) for 5G networks on June 6. This means that China's telecommunications (电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.
The "G" stands for generation (代). 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?
First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow us to download an entire HD movie in a second. The delay (延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒), while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.
Because of this increase in speed, it will possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with other cars, traffic lights and road sensors (传感器). 5G also makes the Internet of Things (IOT, 物联网) possible.
All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen.
23. From the first paragraph that ________.
A. people can't download a movie at all on the phone
B. making a video call is impossible for phone users
C. sometimes the network speed is too slow to use
D. mobile games can't be downloaded on the phone
24. What happened on June 6 according to the passage?
A. China just gave commercial licenses officially for 5G networks.
B. Every mobile phone user could improve the network speed.
C. Most mobile phone users didn't use 4G anymore.
D. All the mobile phones are much cheaper than before.
25. The underlined word "them" refers to "___________".
A. operations B. robots C. 5G phones D. speeds
26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. 5G will make people's life much easier and more convenient.
B. Self-driving cars will become safer because of the use of 5G.
C. Using 5G to download something doesn't take any time at all.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a "lesson" in sorting (分类) garbage, as the city introduced new garbage-sorting regulations (规章) on July 1, 2019.
As China's first city to carry out strict regulations on garbage sorting and recycling, Shanghai requires its residents (居民) to sort garbage into four categories (类别), namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.
Since the regulation took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced by an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent from the end of 2018, while the average daily weight of recyclables hits 4,500 tons, five times higher than the end of 2018, according to the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau.
The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste bins have been updated (更新). The city's waste collection and transportation system (运输系统) is complete, according to the bureau.
"Proper waste sorting protects the environment and saves natural resources," said Deng Jianping, director of the bureau. "Led by the central government, Shanghai is making efforts to develop long-term solutions to garbage management."
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping (倾倒). According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin.
This separation is necessary, as it ensures that the wet garbage will decompose (分解) properly and become useful organic (有机的) waste, the bureau said.
Plastic bags can affect this process. Some people in Shanghai are instead using paper bags that can biodegrade (生物降解) or plastic containers that can be washed and reused, according to Xinhua.
27. People in Shanghai are asked to sort their garbage into the _________ categories.
A. recyclable, dry, harmful and kitchen waste
B. recyclable, kitchen, dry and "other" waste
C. harmful, recyclable, dry and "other" waste
D. harmful, recyclable, dry and wet waste
28. What does the third paragraph tell us?

B. Recyclable waste comes out to two-thirds of the total daily waste.
C. In 2019, people produced less waste than in 2018.
D. Shanghai needs stricter rules to deal with waste.
29. According to Deng Jianping, Shanghai __________.
A. has added more than 40,000 waste bins
B. has had problems with garbage management
C. will help other cities make garbage-sorting regulations
D. is still looking for long-term solutions to deal with garbage
