1. growth　考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处作句子主语，因此应用名词形式，grow的名词为growth。故填growth。

2. the　考查冠词。此处指“穷人”，可用the＋adj.指代一类人。故填the。

3. are moving　考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，此处是句子的谓语动词，根据now判断为现在进行时，主语People是复数。故填are moving。

4. better　考查形容词的比较级。句中resources是名词，应用形容词修饰，再根据much判断此处用比较级。故填better。

5. to help　考查动词不定式。分析句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词，再联系句意，此处表目的，故用不定式。故填to help。

6. cities　考查名词的单复数。句中city是可数名词，根据空格之前的43可知此处用复数形式。故填cities。

7. who　考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，故用关系代词，先行词Tjada McKenna指人，故用关系代词who。故填who。

8. especially　考查副词。提示词修饰介词短语“for women and minority groups”，故用副词形式。故填especially。

9. dealing　考查动名词。句中in为介词，其后接动名词作宾语。故填dealing。

1. formally　考查副词。根据后面的动词“opened”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词opened。故填formally。

2. as　考查介词。be listed as是固定短语，意为“被列为，被记录”。故填as。

3. covers　考查主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，前面有非谓语动词consisting，该句缺少谓语动词，且主语“The new airport complex”是单数，所以此处应用covers。故填covers。

4. a　考查冠词。分析句子结构可知，此处泛指“一次行程”，且journey以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

5. What　考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，该句中谓语动词is前面的是主语，所以空处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，应用what引导。故填What。

6. has set　考查动词的时态。already是现在完成时的标志性词，表明某件事情已经完成，所以此处应用现在完成时。故填has set。

7. shorten　考查动词。助动词can后接动词原形，所以此处应用动词形式shorten。故填shorten。

8. using　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词，动词use与其逻辑主语travellers之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填using。

9. them　考查代词。动词relay后接代词的宾格形式，所以此处用them。故填them。

10. to receive　考查动词不定式。expect to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“期望做某事”。故填to receive。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future.

5G, short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 and 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.

One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users－cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the programme seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.

Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G­connected devices (装置) that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks towards an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognise each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.

Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.

Duncan Forbes, head of the project, told Reuters that the project shows the farm's cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.

1. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems' programme?

A. To win financial support from the British government.

B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animals.

C. To promote its technological development in Britain.

D. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.

2. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The project.  B. The company.  C. The technology.  D. The group.

3. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?

A. It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.

B. It is already widely available in the world.

C. It enables cows to control their own milking.

D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.

4. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Entertainment.  B. Lifestyle.  C. Education.  D. Technology.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。美国思科公司在一个项目中将5G技术应用于奶牛身上来实现挤奶的自动化。

1. D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Cisco says the programme seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.”可知，该项目旨在探索全球农村地区5G连接的未来。也就是该项目是为了扩大未来5G在农村地区的使用。故选D。

2. A　代词指代题。根据第三段中的“The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government.”可知，这里的“it”指的就是上文中的“The project”，故选A。

3. C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The cows are equipped with 5G­connected devices (装置) that link up to a robotic milking system... the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.”可判断出5G可以通过连接装置让奶牛自己控制挤奶。故选C。

4. D　文章出处题。本文主要讲的是将5G技术应用于奶牛身上，实现挤奶的自动化，由此推断这篇文章属于科学技术板块。故选D。

Why Is Sorting Important When Recycling?

We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about.   1   Consequently, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

  2   And the effective sorting needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclables so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happen, a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.

  3   For instance, in Brussels, consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year.   4  ．

Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialised facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process.   5   Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but also to cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.

A. For effective recycling we need effective sorting.

B. Packaging at work is the first step towards recycling.

C. This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

D. So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

E. Collection systems can be very different from country to country.

F. The rest was landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.

G. But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在环保方面垃圾回收分类的重要性及如何具体分类。

1. G　根据上文“We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about.”及下文“Consequently, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling.”可知，我们都赞同多回收垃圾，但是要回收材料，首先需要找到正确的废物来源。故选G。

4. D　根据上文“Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year.”可知，不同国家的收集系统可能非常不同，因此人们需要了解自己当地的收集系统。故选D。

5. C　根据上文“Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialised facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process.”及下文“Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically.”可知，在专门的设施里，不同分类技术发挥各自的作用。故选C。

11. A　根据上文可知，考拉是爬到树顶躲避大火。故选A。

12. B　考拉遭遇了火灾，科学家和环保主义者应该是担忧的。故选B。

13. D　上文提到的野火对考拉来说是生存的威胁，由此可知下文提到气候变化、人类发展是它们面对的新的威胁。故选D。

14. A　根据上文可知，人类的发展是考拉面临的新的威胁，带来的是不好的影响，因此是削弱了考拉的生存能力。故选A。
