一、英语阅读(日常生活类)
1.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。
If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" (代) of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data(数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. 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 have one problem-lag(延迟). When the car "sees" an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the internet of things (IoT), that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.
The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
(1)Which city was 5G tested for the first time?
A. Beijing.
B. Shanghai.
C. Shenzhen.
(2)What can we infer(推测) according to the passage?.

【答案】 (1)B
(2)B
(3)A
(4)C
(5)C

Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer's, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!
How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer's phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier.
The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.
Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.
In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.
Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.

At some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神) problem.
While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.
The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.
In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.
The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.
A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.
Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever."
"My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.
(1)Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?
A. Heavy schoolwork
B. Being bullied at school.
C. Some information from the Internet.
D. Certainty about the future.
(2)Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?
A. They don't think them serious.
B. They can get over them in time.
C. They can keep their mental health secret.
D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.
(3)What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese?
A. 羞耻 B. 印象 C. 援助 D. 危害
(4)Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.
A. think less of themselves B. avoid being bullied
C. ask for help as soon as possible D. stay away from the Internet.
(5)The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. ask research centers for help
B. tell about teenagers' stresses

5.阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why?
Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others. The more people follow an idea, the better or truer we think the idea is. It's the social proof (社会认同感) that works.
The scientist Asch carried out an experiment. It shows how social proof can influence us. In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines (A, B, C). A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1. He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1. When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B. Then, five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to. Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C. Asch got the same result many times among different subjects (实验对象).
Why do we act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger. Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting (打猎) with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants (后代) of those who copied others' action. It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now.
Social proof has special power. The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it. So be capful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular".
(1)At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.
A. telling a story
B. giving examples
C. answering questions
D. showing a map
(2)According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________.
A. following others is always right
B. social proof may change people's ideas
C. it's difficult to carry out the experiment
D. people can study better if they are alone
(3)The underlined word "It" in Paragraph g refers to ________.
A. running with others
B. hunting with friends
C. copying others' action
D. doing something different
(4)According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.
A. it's important to run with others anytime
B. products in the advertisement are the best
C. we mustn't copy others' action to keep safe
D. we need to think twice before following others
【答案】
(1)B
(2)B
(3)C
(4)D
【解析】【分析】短文大意:这篇短文通过几个实例说明了社会认知感对人们的影响。
(1)细节理解题。 In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why? 可知作者是通过实例说明了一个论点社会认同感的影响。故选B。
(2)细节理解题。第三段的实验内容主要讲让人们选择一个正确答案,在一个人单独思考的状况下,可以答对;当一群人一起看问题,并告知他们前面的人选择的一个错误答案,他们就都选择认可前人回答的错误答案,由此可知社会认同感会让人改变观点。故选B。
(3)词意猜测题。根据Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting (打猎) with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants (后代) of those who copied others' action. 这种观念深深种在我们的脑海中并且现在我们仍旧在使用。可知it指的是人们抄袭他人的行动。故选C。
(4)推理判断题。根据 So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular". 因此无论何时当一个公司说它的产品是对受欢迎的要小心。可知当我们在跟从别人之前要再三考虑。故选D。
【点评】此题考查阅读理解。先阅读短文,了解短文大意,然后分析问题,弄清题意,再带着问题阅读短文,从短文的细节中找出问题答案。对于推理判断题要根据文章中相关的细节进行推理判断,不要主观臆断,要根据作者的观点确定。
