26、for hunting seals，which are their main food.Without enough ice，polar bears would be forced to go onto the land，where they are poorly skilled hunters，and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable

27、 to get pregnant.The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears：on the ground，from spotter planes and in the lab，using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than an

28、ywhere in the world and much faster than their computer has been forecasting.Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an alltime low.However，not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has

29、found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bearhunting trips.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文通過(guò)北極變暖導(dǎo)致北極熊數(shù)量急劇減少的例子來(lái)呼吁人們關(guān)注全球變暖，同時(shí)提高對(duì)瀕危動(dòng)物的保護(hù)意識(shí)。21What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?AHe is an animal scie

34、ntly surrounding 5G，the next generation of wireless technology for the world.But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?5G stands for fifth generation，meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system.4G was the replacement for 3G，which came a

35、fter 2G，and so on.Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations.Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity(容量)The new 5G system promises more of the same.However，technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is

36、different than the earlier systems.It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor(傳感器) networks.5G is also expected to connect selfdriving

37、cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality.Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations.Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.Every coin has two sides.Much of the

38、data could contain private details about individuals，businesses or government organizations.The increased data flow would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data.In addition，the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more wid

39、espread and severe results.Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.eq x(語(yǔ)篇解讀本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了5G以及其優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。)24What is the significant difference between 5G and the early “G” systems?AIt will affect more devices and industries.BIt will change the way people communicate

40、.CIt will reform the pattern of information system.DIt will improve Internet speed and network capacity.答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后兩句可知，技術(shù)專家說(shuō)，有一個(gè)主要的方式，5G不同于早期系統(tǒng)。相比其他“G”版本，它將遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超越移動(dòng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)，影響更多的設(shè)備和行業(yè)。故選A。25What can we learn about “smart cities” from the passage?ASmart cities are cities full of intelligent peopl

41、e.BNow many smart cities have been built all over the world.CAs long as there are wireless networks，you can build smart cities.DThe development of 5G accelerates the construction of smart cities.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future smart cities by connecting sen

42、sor(傳感器) networks.”可推斷，5G技術(shù)的發(fā)展加速了智能城市的建設(shè)。故選D。26Why can 5G allow doctors to perform longrange medical operations?ABecause of the low cost of 5G.BBecause of the wide range of 5G.CBecause of the high speed of 5G.DBecause of the ability of 5G to collect information.答案C解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“Higher 5G speeds

43、could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations.”可知，較高的5G速度也可以允許醫(yī)生進(jìn)行遠(yuǎn)程醫(yī)療操作普遍化。故選C。27What is the last paragraph mainly about?APossible risks of 5G technology.BThe advantages of 5G technology.CThe influence of 5G technology on the world.DThe importance of information security i

44、n the 5G era.答案A解析段落大意題。根據(jù)本段中的“Every coin has two sides.”可知，任何事物都有兩面性；聯(lián)系上一段講述的5G的優(yōu)勢(shì)可推斷，本段講述的應(yīng)為5G可能存在的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。故選A。CTravel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have.Imagine how the Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil，seeing a way of life qui

45、te different from what hed seen before.And how marvelous(了不起的) it must have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia！His brain must have been packed with everything hed seen and heard，leading to the founding of the Silk Road.Some peop

46、le have traveled all over the world，and travel is a way of life for them.They perhaps know what to expect before they travel.Thats why the best travel is the first one.Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States.Of course，he has probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousan

47、d times on TV，and the White House，and all the other famous sights.But nothing would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window(舷窗) as the plane lands，watching the buildings and streets of the real America come into view.Although travel is often just for recreation，its also educational.

48、We may not know that we are getting an education，but we still are.Were learning every day：new words in a new language，new people，and new ways of life.But this learning takes place in the school of the world，not the classroom.One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one.As we get to know fo

49、reign places，we come to understand that there are many different ways to live，and that the way we live isnt necessarily the best.The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said，“Travel teaches toleration.”語(yǔ)篇解讀本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了旅行是最令人興奮的體驗(yàn)之一。旅行不只是為了娛樂，還有教育意義。28The author uses

50、Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .Aexplain how the Silk Road was foundedBpresent travel as an amazing experienceCshow how the way people travel has changedDdescribe important cultural exchanges in history答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have

51、.”可知，作者舉馬可波羅和張騫的例子就是為了證明旅行是一種令人興奮的體驗(yàn)。29By saying “the best travel is the first one” in Paragraph 2，the author means that .Aones first trip is usually the most challengingBno other trip is better than ones first tripCthere is always much to learn on ones first tripDpeople usually make better preparat

52、ions for their first trip答案B解析句意理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句可知，作者這么說(shuō)想表達(dá)的是第一次旅行是最好的。30The underlined word “recreation”in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”Alearning BknowledgeCfun Drisk答案C解析詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“its also educational”以及上下文語(yǔ)境可知，此處表示旅行不只是為了娛樂，還有教育意義，故畫線詞詞義為“娛樂”，與fun同義。31According to the last two paragraphs，the au

53、thor believes that .Atraveling should be included in formal educationBtraveling improves peoples confidence in their lifestyleCa foreign journey may raise peoples cultural understandingDthere is more to learn from adventures than classes答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Were learning every day：new words in a new

54、language，new people，and new ways of life.But this learning takes place in the school of the world，not the classroom.”可知，作者認(rèn)為國(guó)外旅行會(huì)提高人們對(duì)文化的理解。DOne day in March，seven years ago，during happy hour at a bar in my hometown of Fayetteville，Arkansas，I made a surprising announcement to my friends：I was going

55、to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year.Whats more，I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind.My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends.Some offered support and encouragement，while others were more doub

56、tful.Once I had said the words，there was no turning back.It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order.Once I set off on my adventure in December 2008，I found travelling without using planes was not easy.Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the

57、initial 12 months I planned) made it even harder.Even so，travelling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity(浩瀚無(wú)際) of our wonderful planet.I took three consecutive(連續(xù)的) overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina，from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires.I would lo

58、ok out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled plains，as if humans had never touched it.It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing，each day spent staring out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by.Sometimes，I wouldnt see a

60、ned.Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack，looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations(住所)，and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere.It also kept me flexible(靈活) and open about all my travel plans，which is advice I give everyone who asksplan far les
