第 Ⅰ 卷（选择题，共62.5分）

第一部分：读（共三节，满分62.5分）

第一节：判断正误（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误（正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”），并在答题卡上将相应的选项涂黑。

A

A man was walking through an elephant camp. He found that the elephants weren’t kept in cages or held by chains（链子）. There was only a small piece of rope tied to（绳子被系在）one of their legs to hold them back from escaping（逃跑）.

As the man looked at the elephants, he wondered why the elephants didn’t break the rope and escaped. They could easily do so, but they didn’t try at all.

He wanted to know the answer. So he asked a trainer nearby. The trainer told him, “When they were young, we used the rope to tie them. They couldn’t escape because they were too young to break the rope at that time. But as they grow up, they still believe they can’t break away.”

These elephants don’t believe they can break the rope so they never have a try, even when they can make it one day. How many of us go through life like the elephants? Failure（失败）is part of learning. Even though we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never make it. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.

1. The man found that the elephants were tied by chains in the elephant camp.

2. The elephants didn’t try to escape because they didn’t believe they could make it.

3. The elephants were afraid of the trainers, so they could only live in cages.

4. Failure is part of our life and we can learn from it.

5. The story tells us that we should believe in ourselves and never stop trying.

第二节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

B

China has changed rapidly over the past 72 years. Recently, we asked some students to share their feelings about the rapid changes and developments（发展）of China. Here are some of their answers online:

A few months ago, our school visited the China International Import Expo. In the 5G hall, I was impressed by how quickly people could download（下载）videos. It took just seconds. It was amazing! I also saw a robot with sensors（感应器）in all parts of its body. With the help of 5G technology, the robot can do the same things as people do. I hope I can create something like 5G.

People love to travel. In the 1970s, anyone who was lucky enough to have a bicycle would be the envy（羡慕的对象）of others. Then, green trains came out. But they ran at a speed（速度）of 30km per hour. In the 2010s, the speed of China’s fastest trains had risen to 350km per hour.

For my mom, she had her first train trip when she was 17. But now children at my age can visit many places thanks to the highly developed transportation network. I have visited Beijing, Tibet and Xiamen so far.

If you look at the top of your phone, you will usually see a little symbols that says 3G or 4G. The G means “generation” of your mobile network. 4G is the forth generation of mobile network technology. In the past, 1G let us talk with each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.

On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor(副市长)Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on the Huawei Mate X Smart phone. Shanghai has also become the first city in our country to start testing 5G networks.

More and more people started to learn about 5G because it has many advantages. 5G will let people download and upload the data(上传数据)faster than before. 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 take time to send the information and the receiving instructions. They can’t react in time. With the help of 5G, this can be greatly improved.

People could also use 5G to power the Internet of Things(IOT 物联网). It’s a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speed will be the key to developing this technology.

5G is on the way. It will lead us to a new world. Are you ready?
