Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK’s first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?

One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost ￡1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn’t all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access. with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.

The wider application is to support connected equipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.

Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes.

Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.

Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5G phone well before 5G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.

12. Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new

clothes”?

A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology. B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life. C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other. D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.

13. The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to . A. making a speech to C. managing to decrease

B. trying to solve D. responding to

14. The last paragraph indicates that .

A. it’ll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market C. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones D. it’s probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain 15. What do we know about the text?

A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service. B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G . C. The application of 5G will make life much easier. D. 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start

It doesn’t need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day. Whenever we mark a new year—by turning the calendar, returning to school or celebrating a holiday—we are looking for a fresh start. 16 But how? Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh, whether it’s a new year or simply a new day in our life. 17 This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past. Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can simulate even the common task of creating your to-do list.

Moreover, you can learn something new by opening a book you’ve been expecting to read, searching a question that’s been in your mind, enrolling in a class that motivates your interest. Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue. 18

Take a break from technology for an hour, a day, or a week. 19 You should be able to

put some space between yourself and digital devices.

One reason why we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck with reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past, the present or even the future. 20 Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or less), specific time. The rest of the time, focus on what you are doing that’s new and positive.

How do you give yourself that “fresh start” feeling? A. Electronic products might not be serving you best. B. Newness or freshness can guide us on a positive path.

C. Limit your daily “worry time” and make an appointment with yourself. D. All of us enjoy newness, but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness? E. Realizing your past mistakes, you should move forward with enthusiasm. F. Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area. G. First, even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense. 第二部分 英语运用（共两节，满分30分）
