文章大意：本文是一篇新聞報道類閱讀，主要介紹了今年人們關(guān)注的三個問題，分別是巴黎圣母院，首張黑洞照片，5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文It was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron promised to rebuild the cathedral．據(jù)法國總統(tǒng)Emmanuel Macron 承諾說會重建這個教堂，所以D說法正確。Notre Dame is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture 巴黎圣母院是法國哥特式建筑的最好例子之一，并不是最好的，A說法錯誤。A terrible tragedy （悲�。� hit France on April 15，4月15日一個悲劇在法國發(fā)生了，可知日期是4月15日，B說法錯誤。 Built between 1163 and 1250在1163年到1250年建的，跨越12和13世紀，C說法錯誤。故選D。

【2】猜測詞意題。根據(jù)原文 The image shows a black hole with a bright ring around it．這個圖象顯示了黑洞周圍有一個閃亮的光環(huán)，可知image的意思是"照片"，即picture，故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks．上海已經(jīng)成為中國第一個開始測試5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的城市，故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文About 100 times faster than 4G networks，5G will let its users download and upload data faster than ever before． It can also be used to power other technology大約比4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)更快100倍，5G將會讓它的用戶比以前更快下載和上傳數(shù)據(jù)．它也可以給其他技術(shù)帶來動力；可知5G在很多領(lǐng)域可以用是因為它的速度快，故選B。

【5】理解判斷題。根據(jù)原文 On March 30，Shanghai vice﹣mayor（副市長）Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone， CGTN reported， CGTN 報道，在3月30日，上海副市長Wu Qing用華為的同型X智能手機進行了首次5G視頻電話，所以D選項是錯誤的，故選D。
