5G technology would be widely used by 2020, causing some experts to say the “5G epoch” is coming. Yet, when reporting about 5G, many reporters only described it as a “much faster” technology than 4G. As a result, what people know about 5G is that they could “download a movie within one second”.
Actually, 5G technology has many more advantages than 4G besides the speed. It can be used for at least two purposes—for connecting everything and removing delays (消除网络延时).
Connecting everything is one of the strongest functions of 5G. It makes the Internet Things possible. Take driverless smart cars as an example. 5G technology can connect all parts of a transportation system including traffic lights, CCTV cameras and cars to build up perfect coordination (协调). In this way, these cars can avoid obstacles (障碍) and move on driving routes, which will help improve self-driving technology. And removing delays might be useful especially in online games. Factories can produce more macro base stations to allow more people to use. The more users, the lower cost. Therefore, 5G technology won’t cost as much as they thought.

Scientist have done a lot to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus (病毒). Although everything seems to go back to normal, the research hasn’t stopped. According to a new study, a highly dangerous snake could hold a key to fighting the COVID-19 virus. They found a peptide (肽) in the venom (毒液) of the jararacussu snakes. It can effectively slow the growth speed of the virus in monkey cells. That means a possible step toward a medicine to fight the virus.
“It’s just the first step in the long run. The process is still a long way to go,” said Professor Rafael Guido, one of the research scientists. “We were able to see that the peptide prevented the development of the virus in vitro (体外). Besides, we were also able to see that in the lab it was able to stop one of the proteins that is very important for the virus’s ability to grow.”
Guido said the peptide can be produced in the lab making catching or raising the snakes unnecessary.
But Giuseppe Puorto, a scientist studying snakes, still worries people will go out looking for the jararacussu, one of the largest snakes in Brazil that can grow up to 6 feet long. “We are afraid that people will go hunting for the jararacussu all over Brazil thinking it will save the world or themselves, their family. That’s not the case. Is this a significant discovery Without doubt it is. But running after the animal is not how this pandemic (流行病) will be completely solved” said Puorto.
A report from the State University of Sao Paulo said researchers would next study the results of different doses (量) of the peptide and whether it was able to prevent the virus from entering cells in the first place. They hoped to test the peptide in human cells soon but did not give a timeline.
16．How do the researchers in Brazil feel about the new finding
A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Proud.
17．From the article we can know that ________.
A．a protein was made to prevent the virus from spreading
B．the peptide could prevent a protein from increasing in vitro
C．the new medicine will be too expensive to produce
D．the results of different doses of the peptide need further research
18．What does Giuseppe Puorto worry about
A．The peptide cannot be made in the lab.
B．The jararacussu snakes are difficult to catch.
C．The jararacussu snakes may die out soon.
D．People may risk catching the jararacussu snakes.
19．What does the underlined word “significant” probably mean in Chinese
A．壮丽的 B．重大的 C．高效的 D．充足的
20．What will the researchers do in the following step
A．Test another kind of snake. B．Produce more peptides.
