19、ews reportBThe famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that

20、 remaining one is a task that many of us have failed.Fortunately, some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math since th

21、e “A”, which stands for “arts”, is just as important.And on April 11, Chinas Ministry of Education issued a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.These efforts came after ma

22、ny scientific studies had found that art education helps students develop self- confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.Its true that none of these skills target specific jobs. But as former US ballet d

23、ancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the purpose of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative, adaptable, and expressive capable of having their eyes and ears and senses alive”.And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We faile

24、d to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults. Hopefully, art education can help turn things around.24. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a famous artist.B. To summarize the whole passage.C. To lead in the topic.D. To encour

Life is artCIf you expect to work in the future in the travel industry, you should begin learning Chinese.Thats because Chinese people spent nearly$258 billion in total on inte

28、rnational travel last year. Thats more than twice the combined amount spent on international travel by people from the United States and Germany, the next two biggest-spending nations. The Chinese are relative(相对的) newcomers when it comes to traveling beyondtheir nations borders and only a small per

29、centage of them travel outside of China each year. Given the size of thatnations population. even that small percentage represents well over 100 million Chinese travelers to foreign destinations.Yet Chinese citizens flew, on average, just 65 miles last year versus(与相对) the 227 miles flown onaverage

30、by US residents(居民), the 285 miles flown on average by Germans, the 271 miles flown on average 场those from the United Kingdom, and the 632 miles flown by the average Canadian last year.Chinas high total spending on international travel and its low average number of miles flown on international trave

31、l may show that while only a small percentage of Chinas residents actually travel outside their homeland, those who do spend a lot of money and dont go that far. But there are reasons for Chinas low average of miles travel on international trips. A small percentage of Chinese now have enough money t

32、o travel internationally, though the number of people who do travel outside of China is growing fast every year. Besides, a large percentage of Chinese people traveling abroad stay close to home.However, as more and more Chinese gain the financial ability to travel internationally and as Chinese bec

33、ome more and more interested in visiting destinations farther and farther away from home, their spending on international travel and the average distances flown will both rise rapidly.28.

34、a must for future work.B. Chinese is most commonly used in travel industry.C. Travel industry requires employees to learn Chinese.D. China is a big-spending nation in international travel29.

37、 wellbeing. Researchers have found that sleep loss increases a persons risk of developing serious medical conditions. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the correlation

38、(相关性) between sleep and grades when he distributed Fitbits to the students in his class. Instead, the professor hoped the popular wrist-worn electronic device (装置), which tracks a persons activity 24/7, would how a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.As part of the research

39、, a quarter of the participants chose a fitness class specially created for the study. Afterthe school term ended, the researchers carefully analyzed the data. Much to Grossmans surprise, they found nomeasurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the

40、 group that had not.However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going through the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend (走向) from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sl

41、eep and his/her grade on the exams.Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Grossman says: “Weve heard the phrase Get a good nights sleep, youve got a big day tomorrow. It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, its the sl

42、eep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.The research

43、does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the results are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting As just required some extra ZZZs?32. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “distributed” in

44、 Paragraph 2？ Ahanded outBfound outCbroke outDturned out 33Whats Grossmans original purpose by using Fitbits in the research?A. To improve students sleep patterns.B. To find effects of physical exercise on grades.C. To monitor students physical condition.D. To regulate students daily behavior.34. Wh

45、at did Grossman think of the research result?AIt was unreliable.BIt was changeableCIt was unexpected.DIt was fruitless. 35What plays a more important part in test performance?AAverage amount of sleep during tests.BSleep in the learning stage.

At its most basic level, 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. But its going to b

47、e significantly faster than previous generations, and could open the door up to a range of exciting new uses. 37 5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which carry information much faster. While these higher bands are faster, they dont carry information as far. Thats to say, smal

48、ler multiple input and output antennas(天线) will be used-promoting both signals and capacity(容量). 38 Why is it better than 4G?5G is expected to be faster than 4G, with some firms claiming it could be as much as 100 times quicker. Thefastest 4G networks can deliver peak download speeds of around 300 M

49、bit/s. 39 . In real life, this could allow you to download a full HD film in less than 10 seconds! 40 . It means there will be very little delay when you carry out tasks on a device. While this will help improve things like gaming experiences, it could also pave the way for safer self-driving cars-i

50、n which even a short delay could be life-saving.Finally, 5G will have a larger capacity, meaning networks will be able to deal with several apps at once.Generally, this should mean that devices have a faster, more stable connection.A. How does 5G work?B. How will 5G affect you?C. This means 5G will

51、support up to 1, 000 more devices per meter than 4G.D. In comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s.E. Therefore, the similarity between 5G and 4G technology is huge.F. 5G is short for 5th generation mobile network.G. 5G is also expected to have a shorter time lag(时间差).第三部分 英语知识运用（共两
