Many have been turned into shopping and art centers. If you pay a visit to Shanghai, dont miss them.M50 Its known that Shanghais most recognized creative park used to be the home of Shanghai Chunming Textile Factory. M50 is named because its situated at No.50, Moganshan Road. A few contemporary artists and galleries began to rent the abandoned factory workshops in 2000, because the floor height allowed them to work with large-scale artworks. Tianzifang It dates back to the 1930s, and a number of small factories and warehouses(仓库) operated here in the 1960s and 1970s. Artists began to move into the community in 1998. It has now developed into a major tourist attraction where shops galleries and old-style Shanghai homes sit side by side. 1933 Old Millfun Built in the 1930s, it once housed the largest slaughterhouse(屠宰场) in Shanghai. The buildings were restored in 1998. Its now a lifestyle center with shops, cafeterias and restaurants, as well as a theater and function hall for weddings and other events.Bridge 8 Bridge 8 is the home of house designers and creative studios. The 12,000-square- meter area used to be the home of Shanghai Automobile Brake Factory, which underwent reconstruction in 2003. Overpasses(立交桥) were added between the eight factory buildings. Since then more than 80 companies have moved in, including film studios, fashion designer houses, and other creative institutions.21.How did M50 get its name? A. It was due to its functions. B. It was called by famous artists. C. It was named after its location. D. It was named after the abandoned workshops22.Which is the best choice if you want to visit the old houses in Shanghai? A. M50 B. Tianzifang C. 1933 old Millfun D. Bridge 823.What can we know about Bridge 8 ? A. It can be used to make films B. It has a history of 15 years C. It contains 8 factories in all D. It has a function hall for weddingsBResearchers say that getting older shouldnt necessarily mean becoming weaker or sicker. A commitment to a life of movement and exercise may help us live a longer and healthier life.For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 and 79, including 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists ”. They also found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they didnt exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues werent included in the study.Then, the researchers gave them a series of tests and compared the results of the two groups. Results showed that the cyclists didnt experience body changes usually equated(等同) with a normal aging process. For example, they didnt lose muscle mass or strength. The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists didnt seem to age, either. For this, they looked at an organ called the thymus(胸腺). The thymus makes immune cells called T-cells, which are made in our bone marrow(骨隨).Starting at about the age of 20, the thymus of a person starts to get smaller. It also starts to make fewer T-cells. However, in this study, the T-cell production by the thymuses of the cyclists hadnt slowed down with age. They were making as many T-cells as those of a young person. Therefore, if you want to add more exercise to your daily routine, youd better start sooner rather than later.24. What do the two groups have in common with each other?A. They can cycle. B. They are seniors.C. They are healthy. D. They can smoke25. How did the researchers feel with their new findings?A. Calm B. Excited C. Amazed D. Satisfied26. What does the underlined word “ They ”in the last paragraph refer to?A. Cyclists B. Thymuses C. Old people D. Immune systems27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Start to Exercise at Once B. Ways to Live a Healthy LifeC. How to Avoid Turning Old D. Lifetime of Exercise Slows AgingCThe Schirn Kunsthalle Museum invited designers both professional and amateur to submit new images that communicate the concept of peace. “We feel its high time for a new peace logo(徽标)，” Philipp Demandt, the director of the museum, wrote in the invitation. “It will be a logo that reflects our current concept of peace.”The hunt for the peace sign comes in together with the exhibition “PEACE”on display at the museum this summer.The present peace logo was created in 1958 for the first Aldermaston march, an activity supporting nuclear disarmament(裁军).Many people raised pictures above their heads as they marched. Among the people was Gerald Holtom, a designer and art school graduate, whose picture made people impressed and was adopted by the Direct Action Committee against nuclear war. Though Holtoms peace logo might look very simple at first glance, there are some deep meanings within the circle and three lines. First the logo references(引用) the letters “N” and “D”, standing for nuclear disarmament. Another inspiration behind the peace logo comes from the 1814 painting The Third of May 1808 by Francisco de Goya. The image shows a Spanish man standing before Napoleons army, arms spread, waiting to be killed. The painting clearly showed the horrors of war. Holtoms symbol caught on immediately, which aroused peoples true feelings of being desperate in the war.Today, however, the Schirn Kunsthalle believes its time for another peace logo, one that communicates what peace means at this particular moment in human history. While Holtoms image was made in response to the threat of nuclear violence, there are many new issues threatening safety and harmony among humans today.28. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A. The strong-willed marchers B. The birth of the present peace logoC. Gerald Holtoms gift as a designer D. The success in fighting against nuclear29. What can we know about the present peace logo?A. It calls on people to march B. Its made up of three circlesC. Its simple but meaningful D. It comes from the exhibition “PEACE”30. How did The Third of May 1808 inspire Holtom?A. It showed the power of nuclear B. It showed the danger of nuclearC. It conveyed the horrors of war D. It conveyed the feeling of desperation31. What message should the new peace logo include?A. Threats to todays humans B. Peoples wishes and dreamsC. Peoples joy and happiness D. Big events happening nowadaysDSlowly but surely, were moving closer and closer to 5G world. Heres what you need to know about the state of 5G right now.Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. However, 5G promises gigabit(千兆)speeds. Most of us have never experienced anything close to speeds that fast even Google Fiber tops out at 1 Gbps. And were only talking about the first generation of 5G modems(调制解调器). Future chips will likely be even faster. Its not all about speed though. 5G networks will not only bring fast data connections, but they also enable much more than that. 5G networks have a much higher capacity(容量).In addition, 5G is a huge upgrade over 4G when it comes to latency(延时) or the amount of time it takes for data to be transmitted(传输).Put all this together, and you will begin to understand why 5G is such a big deal-and not just for the smartphone industry. It has huge effects on every connected device. The technology will also be important for self-driving cars. Lower latency and higher capacity mean that cars will actually be able to communicate with their surrounding environment fast enough to enable them to be fully autonomous.The downside will be that extra speed is likely to come at a higher cost. Some carriers(通信公司) havent commented on specific pricing yet, but surely data costs have historically climbed as network speeds increase. Its not all bad news, though. Some companies think positively that data prices will come down once 5G starts to roll out.Though we have seen a lot of progress in recent years, we still have a long way to go. Carriers and hardware companies are just beginning to make commitments this year, but most in the industry agree that 5Gs popularity will appear in 2020 at the earliest.32. What do we know about 5G from paragraph 2?A. Its really fast B. Its only for phonesC. Its cheaper than 4G D. It only increases in speed33. Why does the author mention self-driving cars?A. To show 5G is important for every connected deviceB. To introduce the 5G technology into the automotive fieldC. To stress the importance of 5G in our daily lifeD. To tell car lovers why 5G is important for self-driving cars34. Which of the following best explains “downside ”underlined in paragraph 5?A. Mistake B. Shortcoming C. Burden D. Difficulty35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The 5G technology develops smoothlyB. 5G has been widely used by companiesC. 5G will likely touch most consumers in 2020D. 5G costs will continue to be high in the future第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Would you like to listen to classical music?
