The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to vanquish Ireland. For hundreds of years, the
27、 Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an i
28、ndependent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to
29、6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.

Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literatur

34、 networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because 5G will be reachable in the near future. So, whats so special about a 5G future? First of all, its download speed can be as fast as 20GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times that of 4G. But whats more impressive is 5GS low delay rate. Now, 4G take
35、s an average of 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.5G is a great breakthrough (突破).

39、to do with why its so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the signal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it cant even go through walls or rain. So, what do
40、es that mean? Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of transmitters (信号发射塔) in the future.32. How does the author show us 5Gs advantages in Paragraph 1?A. By giving examples of the uses of 5G.B. By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.C. By explaining the scientific princi
41、ples of 5G.D. By analyzing 5Gs development from 4G.33.

The development of 5G is challenging.B. Some disadvantages of 5G network remain to be improved.C. 5G network could
43、 be applied to hospitals, factories and drones.D. 5G is a great breakthrough and can benefit people in many ways.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。 Music influences your emotions.
