This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling. but I knocked over the whole backdrop （背景板）used to take pictures for graduates! I felt so embarrassed （尴尬的）the whole morning.

4．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。
    If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代） of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
    On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
    About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
    For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.
    The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
（1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time?
A. Beijing.                                B. Shanghai.                                C. Shenzhen.
（2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?.
A. 5G is widely used in China now.
B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient.
C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones.

    What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese?
    And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15'h and 16 centuries, the golden age of European explorers.
    Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13" century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America
    long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden" period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mesico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why he Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.
（1）When is the golden age of European explorers?
A. The 15th century                                               B. The 16th century.
C. The 13th century.                                              D. The 15th and 16th centuries.

B. Marco Polo travelled to China.
C. Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.
D. Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.
（3）Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico?
A. Pizarro.                             B. Cortez.                             C. Incas.                             D. Columbus.
（4）According to the passage，some countries in America didn't use to belong to      .
A. Portugal                              B. Spain                              C. Canada                              D. France
