Teens GardenB I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing routines. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didnt like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldnt wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasnt at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadnt had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didnt say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesnt provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didnt even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.24. How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?A. People there cared little about others.B. People there liked to accept new things.C. Living there was a great disadvantage.D. There were many chances of career development.25. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting. B. The modern transportation.C. The fast pace of life. D. The crowded streets.26. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown? A. Traveling to New York City. B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe. C. A big place in his / her town. D. Everybody likes talking about others.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small towns CYou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.The US government is especially worried about the problem. Thats why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. Whats more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired. One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount. The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeines effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that. Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.28. What is the US government particularly concerned about?A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.B. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.C. The measures of avoiding caffeines effects.D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.29. Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _.A. caffeines effects on healthB. teenagers addiction to caffeineC. drinks which contain much caffeineD. peoples concern about teenagers health30. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _.A. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeines effectsB. the process of the governments controlling the use of caffeineC. the governments responsibility of taking care of teenagersD. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays31. The author may agree that _. A. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers B. food makers dont add much caffeine to many products nowC. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers study D. getting enough sleep can make people energeticD Slowly 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 U.S. Top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But 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. Future chips will likely be even faster. Its not all about speed though. Part of the appeal of 5G is that it also brings much higher capacity to mobile networks, meaning that networks will be able to support many more data connections. In addition, 5G is a huge upgrade over 4G when it comes to latency(延迟), or the amount of time it takes for data to be transmitted. Because 5G networks support extremely low-latency connections, devices will be able to communicate much faster than previously possible. Put all this together and you begin to understand why 5G is such a big deal- and not just for the smartphone industry. It has huge implications for just about every connected device. The technology will be essential for self-driving cars, which will need to be able to communicate with the world around them as quickly as possible. Lower latency and higher capacity means that cars will actually be able to communicate with their surrounding environment fast enough to enable them to actually be fully autonomous. The downside of all this, at least initially, will be all that extra speed is likely to come at a higher cost. Though weve seen a lot of positive progress just in the last year, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as pervasive（普遍的）as 4G is right now. Carriers and hardware companies are only just beginning to make commitments for 2019. But most in the industry agree that its popularity appears in 2020 at the earliest. 32.How is the second paragraph developed? A. By making classification. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definition. 33. Whats the purpose of mentioning self-driving cars in paragraph 3? A. To introduce 5G into the automotive field. B. To encourage consumers to buy self-driving cars. C. To emphasize the huge impact of 5G. D. To show the higher speed of 5G. 34. What does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. 5G will probably be widely used in 2020. B. 5G will keep charging high fees for the foreseeable future. C. The tech companies have been promising 5Gs coming for years. D. The carriers have not set about popularizing 5G yet.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。How to Be Happy in Your LifeNewborn babies are the happiest in the world. Unfortunately, as we grow up, worries start working up their way upon our minds. 36 However, we can achieve happiness again with just some small changes. Make a choice. Happiness is a matter of choice. A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy, no matter what situation we put him into. On the other hand, a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy, no matter how hard he tries. Laugh a lot. When we smile or laugh, the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce “happy chemicals”. These chemicals make us feel happy. 37 Laugh at ourselves, laugh at our problems, laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life. 38 Being angry with others at their mistakes will earn us nothing. Instead it will make us even more unhappy. Just letting go of others mistakes every once in a while helps us to be happy. Live out of the past. Often, the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory. 39 Learn to give. Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy of giving cannot be expressed in words. One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the one who concentrates only on receiving.One must understand that happiness is a state of mind. 40 Thus, the answer to the question “how to be happy in life” only lies within us.A. Forget others mistakes.B. Sounds silly, but it does work.C. Finally, we forget what happiness is.D. So, find humor in everything around us.E. Start with little things and work up to bigger ones.F. Nothing in the world can make us happy or unhappy, unless we allow it.G. Let go of all bad memories preventing us from leading a happy life at present.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I once stopped behind several cars, waiting at the red light.
