When I was eleven year old, my father and I went on our first camping trip together. It was one of worst experiences of my life. On the way, it rained heavy, so I didn’t want to go any further. My Dad tried to teach me what to tell directions. I was cold and bored, so I didn’t listen to him well. He left me and told me to find my way to back. In my way home, we got lost. There were several roads. I don’t know which one to choose. It was dark when my dad found me, so he said there was always light ahead. I never felt happy to get home than that day.

Without stirrups, soldiers had no place to put their feet. They could not stand up to use their swords without falling off their horses. They could throw spears only with the force of their arms.

Using stirrups, a soldier could stand up in his saddle (鞍). He could put a spear under the top part of his arm and charge with the force of his horse. He could use force when fighting with a sword. And he could win most fights against soldiers who did not use stirrups.

The first stirrups were made in India. Because the weather was warm, people did not wear shoes. The Indian stirrup was made of rope. It fit around the big toes. Later, the Chinese made a foot stirrup of wood. Because the Chinese lived in a colder country, the stirrup had to fit around shoes. Still later, around A. D. 700, soldiers in Asia used strong iron foot stirrups.

【1】（小題1）Around AD. 700, the soldiers in Asia used stirrups made of ________.

A. wood B. shoes C. rope D. iron

【2】（小題2）On the whole, this story is about ________.

A. the soldiers in warm and cold countries

B. how to throw a spear in the fights

C. an invention that changed man’s way of fighting wars

D. the history of horse riding

【3】（小題3）How did the stirrup help soldiers fight better?

A. They looked better when they were using stirrups.

B. They could now stand in their saddles to throw spears.

C. Horses were safer to ride than before.

D. They made soldiers throw spears with the force of wind.

【4】（小題4）Which of the following sentences do you think is RIGHT?

A. There were no wars 2,000 years ago.

B. Men were fighting 2,000 years ago.

C. War is something new.

D. Chinese people didn’t wear shoes in the past.

5G is going to change the way equipment connects to the Internet. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. The self-driving car under 5G network could react to hundreds of cars around it within 1 millisecond. It’ll prevent car accidents and end traffic jams completely.

5G can benefit us in other ways. Operations could be performed by robots controlled by experts from the other side of the world. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their tasks to each other, and they can do more work over a 5G network. Imagine a group of drones(無(wú)人機(jī)) flying over a field of crops. Then farmers won’t have to work so hard anymore.

But, 5G is not perfect. One major shortcoming has to do with why it’s so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the signal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it can’t even go through walls or rain.

【1】How does the author show us 5G’s advantages in Paragraph I?

A.By giving examples of the uses of 5G.

B.By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.

C.By explaining the scientific principles of 5G.

D.By analyzing 5G’s development from 4G.

【2】According to the author, the self-driving cars will ___________.

A.cause more car accidents.

B.slow down 5G’s development.

C.run without being connected to the Internet.

D.have a much faster reaction speed than humans.

【3】What does the underlined part “ be staffed by robots” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Be built by robots.

B.Have robots as workers.

C.Offer employees home robots.

D.Produce more medical robots.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.The main weakness of 5G networks.

B.How to make 4G networks more perfect.

C.The types of long waves and short waves.

D.How to improve the communication in rainy days.

A position at St. Mary’s Hospital led him to the then-new field of bacteriology(細(xì)菌學(xué)). During World War I, Fleming served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. At the time, antiseptics(抗菌劑) were commonly used. Fleming discovered that their destructive effects on the body were greater than their ability to break down harmful bacteria. Therefore, more soldiers were dying from antiseptic treatment(治療) than from bacterial harm.

Fleming suggested that, for more effective treatment, wounds simply be kept dry and clean. However, his idea largely got ignored because of the difficult conditions. Returning to St. Mary’s after the war, in 1918, Fleming worked as the assistant director of St. Mary’s.

In September 1928, Fleming returned to his lab after a month away with his family, and was surprised to notice that a type of bacteria he had left out had become polluted by a mold(霉菌). The bacteria surrounding this mold had been destroyed. He realized that he discovered the world’s first bacteria killer. It was later named “penicillin”.

Further development of penicillin was not a one-man operation, so Fleming employed two young researchers. Penicillin finally came into use during World War II and Fleming won the Nobel Prize in 1945.

【1】What do we know about Fleming?

A.He began to study medicine at the age of 14.

B.He completed his basic education in Scotland.

D.He started his career due to his parents’ influence.

【2】What did Fleming find during World War I?

A.The British army suffered from a lack of antiseptics.

B.Few people wanted to study the field of bacteriology.

C.Soldiers had limited knowledge of treating their wounds.

D.Antiseptics did more harm than good to wounded soldiers.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 imply?

A.Fleming discovered penicillin quite by accident.

B.Penicillin was Fleming’s first well-known discovery.

C.Penicillin was later put into use by Fleming’s students.

D.Fleming made a mistake while preparing for an operation.

【4】How does the author organize the text?

A.By providing data.B.By giving examples.

C.By making comparisons.D.By following time order.
