一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解
Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loud conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.
When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He'd had enough of the woman's rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they showed her Winston's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude. Winston's tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media. What can we do to fix this?
Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. Just witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say, \meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time. The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things. In my own research, surveying 2,000 adults, I discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her.
We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers in the same way we'd defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.

A science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the world's best teacher and $ 1 million, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi, 36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village, has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.
Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise afford uniforms and books. More than 90% of his students are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent.

His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to generate electricity. Tabichi and four colleagues also give struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students' homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.

3．阅读理解
You're probably used to the regular upgrades in our cell-phone networks. There was 2G, which came along in 199l, replaced with 3G in 2001, followed by 4G in 2009. Now we're hearing about the coming of 5G.
But 5G is a much bigger leap than before. 5G, of course, is much faster than 4G in the real world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast. The arrival of 5G also means enormous leaps forward in capacity－so much that every cell-phone plan will offer cheap, truly unlimited Internet access. \Sherif Hanna, Qualcomm's director of 5G marketing. For example, apps will no longer degrade (降低) your video quality or postpone downloading when you're out of Wi-Fi range. In fact, you'll probably prefer to do your downloads when you're on cellular (使用流量) because 5G will be much faster than whatever service you've got at home or work.
\partly by using existing transmission(传输) frequencies more efficiently and partly by using the millimeter wave range. That's a big, juicy line of radio frequencies that are currently underused because millimeter wave is really hard to use,\
These frequencies are much higher than anything we've used for the cellular, which means they can offer unbelievable speed－but at the cost of range. Millimeter wave cellular towers have to be about 500 feet apart. Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers (called small cells) but will install(安装) a lot more of them as well.
That's why the millimeter wave flavor of 5G, the superfast coverage, will be available only in densely populated cities such as New York and San Francisco. In suburban and rural areas, 5G will bring a speedup of \
（1）What advantages does 5G have over previous networks? A. 5G is much faster and more convenient. B. 5G allows users to download more videos. C. 5G can provide better service and news at home. D. 5G cell-phone plans are expensive but more accessible. （2）Hanna's words in paragraph 3 reflect .
A. popularity of the coming of 5G B. easy access to the 5G development C. concern about the 5G development D. excitement about the 5G development （3）What can we learn about 5G according to the text? A. It requires more cellular towers. B. It won't be available in rural areas.
C. It won't show speed improvements in suburbs. D. It makes some populated cities even more crowded. （4）Where is the text most likely from?
A. A tour brochure. B. A science newspaper. C. A medical magazine. D. An experimental textbook. 【答案】 （1）A （2）C （3）A （4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了5G网络的一些基本情况。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“But 5G is a much bigger leap than before. 5G, of course, is much faster than 4G in the real world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast.”但5G的发展比以前大得多。当然，在现实世界中，5G比4G快得多，5G城市中的5G手机将享受9到20倍的网速。可知，5G手机的网速将大幅度提高。由此可知，与以前的网络相比，5G更快、更方便。故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“‘However, not everyone is excited by the 5G development…That's a big, juicy line of radio frequencies that are currently underused because millimeter wave is really hard to use,’ Hanna says.”汉纳说:“然而，并不是每个人都对5G的发展感到兴奋……这是一个巨大的、有趣的无线电频率线，目前还没有得到充分利用，因为毫米波真的很难使用。”可知，汉纳认为并不是每个人都对5G的发展感到兴奋，这种无线电频率线，目前还没有得到充分利用。由此推知，汉纳在第3段中的话反映了对5G发展的担忧。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers (called small cells) but will install(安装) a lot more of them as well.”手机运营商不仅要升级他们所有的手机收发器(称为小型小区，还要安装更多的收发器）可知，5G不仅需要手机运营商升级他们所有的手机收发器，还要安装更多的收发器。可推知，5G需要更多
