The Internet is changing the way we see the world — from news to shopping. Will the Internet give everyone the same chance to get the messages, or further divide those who know from those who don't?

The Internet has taken much business from traditional markets. People can go online and find out what has happened in the last few hours, and for free, too! They can buy almost everything at a lower price on the Internet. So some people worry that the Internet will take away their jobs.

The Internet opens interesting possibilities for more choices. People can start their own business through Vlog (video blog). Li Ziqi, a famous Internet celebrity (名人), recorded her cooking and posted the videos on the Internet. Her story is so well-received in the West that foreigners even buy knives of the same model from Taobao.com.

Though the Internet brings chances, sometimes it can hurt people. Whether the Internet is right or wrong, it is here to stay. We should make use of the Internet in a proper way. This will provide a healthy environment for Internet safety.

1.The Internet has taken little business from traditional markets.

2.The Internet can't tell people what has happened in the last few hours.

3.The Internet brings more choices.

4.Li Ziqi' story is popular in the West.

5.Using the Internet properly will promise Internet safety.

How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered（递送）? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.

Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools（社交媒体工具） let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.

The digital （数字）age also enables us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

But when you friend people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.

If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old；a woman could be a man；we could even be sharing our information with criminals.

But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire（获得）friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.

1.Ways of making friends and communicating with them have changed greatly because of ________.

2.To stay in touch with our faraway friends, we can ________.

3.Online friendships can be real and meaningful if people ________ with each other.

4.The phrase “throw the baby out with the bathwater” means “________” in Chinese.

5.This passage mainly talks about ________ of making friends online.

If you look at the top of your phone ,you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" of your mobile network.But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G fully arrives.

On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.Monaco became the first country in Europe to use a next-generation 5G mobile phone network based on technology from Chinese company Huawei.

It sounds obvious, but it’s important to understand just how much faster 5G is compared to current 4G speeds. 5G will not only be many, many times faster than your existing connection, it will be greatly faster than the broadband connection you have at home.

Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds* to send and receive data.But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less.This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster. It can be used in many other ways as well.

For example,5G will help to make self-driving cars safer.Today's self ﹣ driving test cars have one problem ﹣ lag.When the car"sees"an obstacle*, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer,according to CNN.

5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people.Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with IOT under 5G, your fridge could automatically* place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen. Though we’ve 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 common as 4G is right now.

1.From Paragraph ②, we can know that _______.

A.5G is widely used in Shanghai

B.it took lots of efforts to test 5G

C.China and Monaco is working on its 5G networks

D.5G would make it possible to take videos

2.The underlined word "lag" probably means " _______" in Chinese.

A.延迟 B.迷路 C.暂停 D.耗电

3.The fridge is mentioned to _______.

A.describe the importance of IOT

B.encourage people to try the new product

C.introduce how to use the Internet of Things

D.show 5G would make IOT more powerful

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？

A.Can 5G Go Far？

B.How is 5G Changing Our Life？

C.5G is on the Way

D.China is Leading the World in 5G

九年级英语阅读单选中等难度题查看答案及解析

Whether from news reports or social media articles, you may know that 5G is coming.

5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network(网络)after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G and it can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data(数据) speed, one can download a two-hour movie for fewer than 10 seconds, and it is making our lives more and more convenient.

5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission(传输)to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve this. Eyen airplanes will become "smart" in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet or place orders for food and drinks.

5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. Many people live in poor areas in the world where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.

It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G. It means caring for patients from far away.

The facts listed above are only a part of what 5G will make possible and popular. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few could see how it could change the world. The same will surely be true of 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams anymore. Now let's get ready to say goodbye to 4G and welcome the coming of 5G.

1.How long may it take to download a two-hour movie with 5G?

A.15 seconds. B.8 seconds. C.10 minutes. D.2 hours.

2.The underlined word "remotely" means________in Chinese.

Pizza: the World's Favorite Food

Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn new ways of growing, processing and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes, too. One food that has done this successfully is pizza.

The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special Pizza for the Italian royal (皇室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn't like it, but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted (适应) to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Indians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.

At first it was only popular with Indians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas. That's more than $100 per American.

The Pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.

The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today's super-fast society, people often don't have the time or energy to cook. So, they order take-out and very often, it's a pizza. Sometimes you don't even have to pick it up, it's delivered (递送) to your home. If you don't even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up.

The Pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world's favorite foods.

1.What do people like taking when they travel to live in other countries?

_____________________

2.Did the Italian royal family like the pizza?

_____________________

3.When did the pizza move to New York?

_____________________

4.In which country do people love pizzas with bananas?

_____________________

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

How will we save our planet?

Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.

The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose "climate emergency", "Climate strike" and "upcycling", respectively(分别地), as their "Word of the Year". This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue in 2019.

"Climate emergency" means a situation in which urgent action is needed to reduce climate change. "Climate strike" refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. "Upcycling" refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

Climate change has already affected the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros.

Although we've known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage our leaders to take responsibility.

"Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts(影响)could been seen as an issue for future generations," Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. "It's definitely our issue now."

However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat is not enough, we must take real action before it is too late.

1.Which dictionary didn't choose the climate word as their "Word of the Year"?

A.The Oxford. B.The Collins. C.The Webster. D.The Cambridge.

2.Which of the following words of phrases calls for making new items with old or used things?

A.Climate change. B.Climate emergency. C.Upcycling. D.Climate strike.

3.Why did Venice experience the worst flooding during past 50 years in 2019?

A.Because of heavy rain. B.Because of climate change.

C.Because of bad economy. D.Because of terrible managements.

4.According to Katharine Mach, what should we do now?

A.We should take action to fight against climate change in the future.

B.We'd better leave the climate issue to future generations.

C.We should take responsibility to deal with climate change immediately.

D.We should realize the climate change is a big threat but we can do nothing.

"The only constant (不变) in life is change. "Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be more true today.1. Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said. "Knowledge is power." In fact. There is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life.

Why are we afraid of change?2. After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 3. To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with.

4. For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty (不确定). So when bigger things happen. You'll be more fully prepared for them.

People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so.5. If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the light off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)---allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meeting, and receive education, healthcare and around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there? On Oct. 15th, 2019, 50 Chinese scientists set sail from Shenzhen, heading for Antarctica. This was our country's 36th Antarctic expedition. The ship, Xuelong 2, is the first icebreaker made in China. Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers.

It can sail to any place around the world in one trip without refueling (加燃料). It can work in temperatures as low as -30%℃. It is the first in the world to use two-way ice-breaking technology, which means that it can break the ice while moving forward or backward.

Because of Antarctica's special environment, scientists from around the world have been there to do studies for many years. The study of Antarctica's geology (地质) is also important. Rock in Antarctica can tell scientists what the weather was like a long time ago. And they can help scientists understand how the earth has changed over time. There are also many wild animals, such as penguins and seals. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them.

As we all know, life in Antarctica is not easy－it's cold and sometimes dangerous. But scientists say it's still quite fun. For example, some scientists study how penguins walk, what they eat and why they move from one place to another. They are excited to see the cute animals playing around. They hope their studies can help protect them.

Xuelong 2 finished its tasks and returned to Shanghai on April 22, 2020.
