12．（6分）There is much heated discussion today about 5 G.Your Internet experience is not pleasant when the net speed is too slow—— it takes so long to open a web page and the talk show you're watching stops every few minutes.But soon it could be a thing of the past.On June 3、2020，the Chinese government told people that 5 G services would be offered around the country.

    5 G is the 5th generation network.It is a new network after 1 G、2 G、3 G and 4 G and it can connect everyone and everything together.5 G speed can be very fast 5 G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information.Now.4 G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds（毫秒） to send and receive data（数据）.But 5 G will get it down to I millisecond or less — this ts almost real﹣time.In the near future，5 G network will cover many cities in China

    This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster，but also deeply change our lives.For example，5 G will make self﹣driving cars possible.For safety，self﹣driving cars need super﹣fast data transmission （传输） to communicate with their nearby environment.5 G is just what makes self﹣driving cars achieve this.Even airplanes will become"smart"in the near future.Passengers will be able to use 5 G networks in the air to connect to the Internet or order food and drinks.

    5 G will be a big help for students who take online classes.In the world，many people live in poor areas where there are no schools.But with 5 G，this will change.Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.

    In addition，5 G will be used in hospitals.It will be easier for doctors to care for patients who live far away by 5 G.

    However.5 G has its own weaknesses.According to China National Radio，though 5 G will make our lives easier.it will not be perfect.For one thing.5 G will not "travel" far.On 4 G networks，you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission （传输）  center and connect the Internet easily.But 5 G will only cover a distance（距离） of about 300 meters.And in order to use 5 G.we will have to buy new products specifically（专门地） made for 5 G that are expensive at present.

（1）The underlined word "delay" in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to "　   　".

A.the time to wait

B.the distance to cover

C.the data to receive

D.the speed to change

（2）What can we learn from the passage？ 　   　

A.5 G will make self﹣driving less safe.

B.5 G travels faster and farther than 4 G.

C.5 G may cost more as a new technology.

D.5 G gives people uncomfortable experiences.

（3）What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage？ 　   　

A.To explain how 5 G is popular.

B.To give an introduction of 5 G.

C.To show why 5 G is important.

D.To encourage people to use 5 G.

13．（6分）A recent study shows that more than half of parents in England do not talk to their children about whether feeling sad，worried，nervous，lonely or stressed（焦虑不安的） in their daily life.

    More than 1，100 parents were asked in the study，whose children are all aged between six and eighteen.55% of them had never spoken about the subject.Many parents said it was because they didn't know what to say.Almost half of parents said they felt they did not need to have conversation because mental （心理） health was"not a big problem".But a report from the study says that children may have mental problems at the age of four.Scientists and doctors suggest that people should not shy away from the subject.

    A new research from Time to Change has also shown that more than two﹣thirds of head﹣teachers were worried about their pupils' mental health.The problem stops young people from doing everyday things，such as going out with friends，taking part in school and some other social activities.About 25% of pupils have also said that the problem has made them want to give up on life.

    Emma，20，experienced mental problems in her early teens.Her mother.Nadine Peacock.said that parents of other children at the school firefly understood her，buy then avoided.her."I felt quite let down by people.They were quick to judge without asking me about what was really going on.We all felt shame of it."she said.

    Daniela Beck，19，said she started to experience mental health problems at the age of 12. "Some of my friends thought I was strange.They would say things like， 'Why are you crying？Nothing is wrong with you!'These words made me feel even lonelier，" she said.

    Making mental health a part of everyday conversation can make it easier if there are problems.You probably can't solve or change anything.but giving your child and your friend space to talk，without a fear of being judged，can really make a difference.Talking about mental health can be hard for young people，for teachers，and for parents，but often it is a first step towards greater understanding.

（1）The example of Daniela Beck is given to show  　   　.

A.the students are not friendly to each other

B.friends can help with mental health problems

C.children with mental problems easily become angry

D.wrong words are harmful to children with mental problems

（2）Which of the following may be the writer's opinion？ 　   　

A.Most of young people are easy to give up on life.

B.Parents needn't worry about children's mental health.

C.Mental health should be part of our daily conversation.

D.Nadine Peacock is not good at talking with other parents.

（3）What is the passage mainly about？ 　   　

A.The problems among children.

B.Children's mental problems.

C.How to Judge children.

D.How to talk to children.

14．（10分）Do you have exam stress （压力）？Exam time is the most stressful time of the year.You have worked all school term in your classes and now it's the time to prove what you have learned.In fact，it's common for most of us to have exam stress.A little bit of stress can be a good thing.If we have  proper（适当的）stress ，we can think actively and work harder .Besides，it can help us to focus（聚焦） on the preparation of exams.However，if we can't deal with stress well，we may make things worse.

    When I was in school，I used to get very stressed over my exams.So did my friends.Some of them stopped eating and others ate too much!Some gave up and others burned themselves out!But the most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened!Take the middle path（路线）— stay calm，eat healthy and get a rest.Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough.A tired，overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy，empty one!

    It does no good to think too much about your exams.Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on exams.That's not true.Instead，just see the exams as another difficulty you will overcome（克服）.You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far.With the right amount of work and focus，you will pass your exams with flying colors!
