In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.

As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.

Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.

Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.

Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.

What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.

Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.

1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica________.

A.is covered with snow and ice B.rains heavily from time to time

C.has little wind most of the time D.has sunshine during every night

2.Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________.

A.find out ways to control water pollution

B.research climate change and marine biology

C.grow plants and vegetables in special condition

D.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology

3.We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with________.

A.strong love B.full preparation

C.pleasant introduction D.amazing imagination

4.The passage is mainly about________ .

A.view of the Antarctica B.exploring the Antarctica

C.how to survive in the Antarctica D.climate changes of the Antarctica

① 2019 marks the first year of the global commercial use of 5G. China is running ahead in this field. In March, 2019, the Shanghai Hongqiao Train Station became world’s first “5G train station”. What’s more, with the technology, it takes only 20 seconds to download a long movie. China is hopeful that we can even experience driver-less cars in daily life soon.

② However, the great technology is still new to most of us. What are the advantages (优势) of 5G? Here are some ideas.

③ It is faster, for sure. It is expected to be at least 10 times faster than 4G. The first 5G modem (猫,调制解调器) of the IT company Qualcomm supports (支持) speeds of up to 5 Gigabytes (千兆字节) per second. Most of us have never experienced anything close to that speed. And we are only talking about the first generation of 5G modems. Future modems are likely to be even faster.

④ But 5G is not all about speed. Have you ever been to a large event where your data (数据) connection slowed down? That is because 4G networks can only support a certain number of devices (设备) per square (平方) meter. 5G networks can do much better. They can support up to a million devices per square kilometer.

⑤ Are you looking forward to that 5G world now? Get ready for the amazing future.

In China, many people have the habit of buying a new calendar at the beginning of a new year and putting it on the wall. Usually the calendar is made of thirteen pieces of paper （a cover and the calendar for each month）. The pictures in the calendar look very beautiful. But when the year is over and the calendar is no longer useful, they just throw it away.

Now some smart calendar makers get a good idea—a shopping bag calendar. This kind of calendar looks no different from other calendars. What makes it different is that it’s not made of paper, but twelve shopping bags. On every shopping bag, there is a calendar for each month. When one month is over, they can take down that month and use it as a shopping bag. You can find out the date or put things in it. It’s cool and good for the environment.

1.When do Chinese people buy a calendar?

A. At the end of the new year.

B. In the middle of the year.

C. At the beginning of the new year.

D. On New Year’s Day.
