There are always stories in the life that can hardly be forgotten and will restore our hope for hol- in a village in southern idays every time we recollect.
Johnny and 1, along with our two young sons, Barry and Doyle, lived Alabama in 1979. We had bought the boys a bicycle for the New Year, and had hidden it in the gar- age，where Johnny would assemble (组装）it on New Year’s Eve after the kids fell asleep. But that day，Johnny had to go to Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, an hour away, to repair a jet. I had my hands busy with baking, preparing for holiday dinner and caring for two energetic boys.
Just as I was making the chocolate cake, a neighbor knocked on the door. It was Beatrice, who was the only person on our road with a telephone. The base had called to say that a heavy tool had come apart suddenly，hitting Johnny’s arm and breaking the bone. My brother Otto took me to the base hospital while my mother stayed with the children.
We got there to find Johnny with a cast (石膏）on his arm, anxious to get home regardless of the doctor’s orders. It was New Year’s Eve, Johnny argued, and he had the bike to assemble for his boys. The doctor said he'd consider dismissing him the next morning if Johnny could find some one to drive him home. On New Year’s morning, Johnny called the base and was told everyone was off duty ； there was no one to drive him home. Johnny kept making calls. At last，a big blue car with the Air Force sign rolled up.
I was putting dinner on the table when hearing ihe car. We were thrilled to see Johnny assisted by a uniformed Air Force officer. With Otto's help，Johnny assembled the boy * s gift, and they all had a good time that afternoon. Our hearts were full of gratitude to the people who had gone the extra mile lo bring us together.

Plastics remain one of the most - used materials for making many things. Things made of plas -tics can be very strong and last a long time.
Plastics are also much lighter than metal and can easily be formed into different shapes. Plastics can take hundreds of years to break down on their own. And very few kinds are highly recyclable.
A team of researchers working at the US Department of Energy says it has created a kind of plastic that could lead to products that are 100 percent recyclable. It recently reported the discovery in a study in the journal Nature Chemistry.
The researchers say the new material is a plastic polymer (聚合体)called polydiketoenamine, or PDK. The team reports the material can be broken down in parts at the molecular (分子的）lev- el. It can then be built up again to form plastics of different shapes, textures and colors. The re searchers say this process can be repeated over and over again—without the plastic material losing any performance or quality.
“Most plastics were never made to be recycled,”lead researcher Peter Christensen said in a statement.“But we have discovered a new way to assemble plastics that takes recycling into consid eration from a molecular perspective.”
Many plastics have different chemicals added to them to make them more useful and powerful. The problem is that these chemicals attach to the monomers (单体)，which remain in plastics even after the material gets processed at a recycling plant. The research team reported that, with the new ly discovered PDK material, the monomers
could be recovered and separated from any chemical ad ditives.
Next, the researchers plan to develop PDK plastics “with a wide range of thermal and mechani cal properties' These plastics could be used for many kinds of cloth, as well as things such as 3D printed materials and foams. In addition, the team is trying to include plant - based materials in the process.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Plastics are never highly recyclable.
B. Plastics are widely used in our lives.
C. Plastics have both advantages and disadvantages.
D. Plastics take hundreds of years to be broken down.
29. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The new material. B.The research team.
C.The molecular level. D.The producing process.
30. Why do many plastics have different chemicals added to them?
A.To make them easy to break down.
B.To make them easy to get processed.
C.To make it possible for them to be recycled.
D.To make them stronger and more widely used.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph ?
A. PDK plastics will be soon put to good use.
B. PDK plastics may have a promising prospect.
C. The researchers are busy developing PDK plastics.
D. Plant — based materials have been used in the new plastics.

Being able to take advantage of truly unlimited data is a smartphone user one I've talked to about SC is more excited about the usage unlocked by next devices. From smart home security to self — driving cars,all the Internet - connected equipment in
your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning - fast speed with
reduced delay.
“5G is one of those forerunners, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “Self - driving vehicles are emblematic in this data age - they show application of data completely. With one single task, driving, you have large amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors (传感器)are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about conditions down the road. There’s lots of data behind that task f which is why we need the speed and lower latency (延迟).
AR glasses and virtual (虚拟的）reality headphones haven’t yet been inside the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully saying that such equipment will eventually replace our smartphones. Wilh 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are report edly developing AR glasses to improve - or even replace - smartphones.
Ericsson showed at February’s Mobile World Congress in 2019 how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G conneclion, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on outside equipment for processing power.
But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including some necessary testing to make sure the radio plays nicely with basic systems and service construc tion so that 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.
32. What does the first paragraph focus on?
A.Potential of 5G. B. The super speed of 5G.
C.Usage of smart equipment.D. The future of smart equipment.
33.Which word can replace “emblematic” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. available B. productive C. representative D. popular
34.What is tech companies’ attitude towards the replacement of smartphones?
A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
35.Why does much work still need to be done according to the last paragraph?
A. To make radio play nicely. B. To construct big 5G cities.
C.To do 5G trials effectively. D. To expand 5G coverage fully.
