The company said later that its gross merchandise volume or GMV for the whole event came to 268.4 billion yuan ($38.4 billion).Alibaba said more than 200,000 brands are participating in the 11th Singles Day gala, with 1 million new products being offered and more than 500 million users forecast to spend, 100 million more than last year.

But as competition intensifies, Alibaba is searching for fresh ideas to drive sales and keep users hooked to its sites.Alibaba turned Chinas informal Singles Day into a shopping event in 2009 and built it into the worlds biggest online sales festival.

Next-generation 5G networks can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much quicker. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a “connected” cow and receive daily updates on the animals health and behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco (CSCO). The cows wear 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what theyre eating to how theyre sleeping. Farmers can see the information instantly. “This provides peace of mind that the cows are happy, healthy and behaving normally, as well as early warning if they are getting sick, are pregnant or need to be checked,” said project manager Duncan Forbes.Yet to make a difference, 5G will first need to be installed in rural areas. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that in order to provide for the worlds rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. “To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands,” reads one report from the organization.In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply.28. Why can 5G help the farming?A. Because it can carry more information. B. Because it can be equipped with sensors.C. Because it can disrupt a lot of industries. D. Because it can be installed in rural areas.29. What did farmers do firstly if they wanted to use Me+Moo?A. They founded a tech company. B. They let the cows wear 5G-connected collars.C. They kept cows behaving normally. D. They made sure the cows were checked often.30. According to FAO, how will the world solve the food problem?A. People should control the rising population. B. People should find more and more land.C. People should turn to the new technology. D. People should learn to get more money.31. How did RuralFirst decide what kind of fertilizer to apply?A. It analyzed the soil. B. It dug earth with tractors.C. It employed experts. D. It hired drones with sensors.DFew people can refuse a delicious ice cream, especially on a hot day. The only thing that stops the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, ending up with a sticky, melted mess. Now, researchers from Colombias Pontifical Bolivarian University may have found an unlikely thing to help solve this age-old problem a kind of fibre from banana plant waste.Bananas, as you probably know, grow in groups on a tree-like plant. Each group is connected to a central rachis (叶轴), which is thrown once the fruit has been gathered. The team, which was led by Dr. Robin Zuluaga Gallego, began by drawing out cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from the powdered rachis. The tasteless fiber, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair, was then added to 100 grams of ice cream mix. With the right amount of CNFs mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than the traditional ice cream, extending the amount of time that the treat can be enjoyed. What was even more exciting was that the fibre increased the stickiness of the low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treats creaminess and taste, CNFs could help create the healthier ice cream without influencing the taste of it.The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society( ACS) meeting in New Orleans in March, 2018, next plan to study how different types of fat, such as coconut oil, influence the behaviour of CNFs in other frozen treats.The Colombian researchers are not the only ones working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a natural protein called BsIA was very effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both teams fighting to be the first to get to the market, the future of everyones favorite dessert certainly looks bright.32. What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly?A. A kind of fibre from bananas. B. The ice creams quick melting.C. The ice creams stickiness. D. The fat in the ice cream.33. Why were CNFs added to ice cream mix?A. To improve its taste. B.To increase its stickiness.C.To reduce its fat content. D.To make it melt more slowly.34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The ice cream. B. The fiber.C. The fat. D. The stickiness.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. BsIA is popular in the market.B. CNFs are more useful and expensive than BsIA.C. Ice creams with CNFs have been on sale at the market.D. Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality.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。While some people may naturally be more thankful, dont assume that you cannot nurture a more thankful perspective in your own life.
