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 (可获得的) 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 program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural (乡村的) areas around the world.Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices (装置) that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate (自动化) the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release (释放) 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 farms 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.29What is the purpose (目的) of Cisco Systems program?A. To win financial support from British government.B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animalsC. To promote its technological development in BritainD. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.30What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The project.B. The company.C. The technology.D. The group.31What 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.32In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Lifestyle.C. Education.D. Technology.DThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful - both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues (同事) conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks - both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access (获取) our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”33What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.B. The lack of practice in handwriting.C. The use of new technologies in teaching.D. The popular use of smart phones.34Berningers study published in 2009 _.A. discussed the importance of writing speed.B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.35Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.B. Spelling improves ones memory of words.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.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。 Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.
