Some Facts You Need to Know about Ebola (埃博拉)
◇What is Ebola
Ebola is a virus caused haemorrhagic fever (出血热) that spreads through contact with bodily fluids (体液).The virus was first identified and named after a river in the DRC (刚果金) — then known as Zaire — that was near the location of the first known outbreak in 1976.
◇The symptoms the infected usually have
High fever, weakness, muscle pain, a headache and a sore throat are often followed by vomiting and diarrhoea (腹泻), kidney and liver failure, internal and external bleeding.
◇How dangerous is Ebola
The virus is highly infectious, making it difficult to contain especially in urban environments.The average death rate from Ebola is around 50 percent, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).The worst Ebola outbreak started in December 2013 in southern Guinea and spread to neighboring West African countries Liberia and Sierra Leone, claiming the lives of over 11,300 people from the 29,000 registered cases (病例).
◇Treatment and control
At present there is no licensed (得到正式许可的) drug to prevent or treat Ebola although a range of experimental drugs are in development.To contain the spread of the virus, patients and people who have contacted them are routinely isolated (隔离的).
[理解] Read the passage and answer the following questions.1.When did Ebola first break out In 1976.2.List the symptoms of the infected patients.High fever, weakness, muscle pain, a headache, a sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, kidney and liver failure, internal and external bleeding.3.Why is Ebola a dangerous disease Because it is highly infectious and the average death rate from Ebola is high.Besides, there is no licensed drug to prevent or treat Ebola.

I arrived in Liberia with MSF almost three months ago.[3]When I saw the tragic⑥ scenes⑦ on the news, I felt it was my duty as a doctor to go there and offer my help.

Emma spent an hour with me in the staff room talking me through the daily routine .[7]As she talked, I could hear at least three different languages being spoken at the tables around us.Later, Emma introduced me to some of the others working for or alongside MSF:Wilton, a young local man, [8]who helped carry the very sick into the treatment clinic and who disinfected clothing and surfaces; Maisy, a retired public health official from Darwin, Australia, [9]whose local team of volunteers educated people on preventing infection; Alfonso, a soft spoken Argentinian doctor in his 50s, [10]who had previously worked on Ebola outbreaks in Sierra Leone and Guinea.The list went on.I found that I was the only Chinese doctor among people of all ages, colours and beliefs, from every continent except Antarctica.With each person [11]I met, I felt a growing sense of pride as part of this extraordinary team, [12]whose devotion to the cause shone from their eyes.

与无国界医生奋战100天
2015年3月22日
我们今天庆祝了一番,因为距离发现上一个报告病例已经整整一个月了。但重要的是我们不能心存侥幸。所以,我们这20位来自世界各地的医护人员,也是战友们,假装举杯,互相庆祝。
大约三个月前,我随无国界医生一起来到利比里亚。当我从新闻上看到一幅幅凄惨的画面时,我觉得作为医生我有责任到那里去帮忙。我知道这样做是在冒生命危险,但是我想:“假如我不去做,又有谁会去呢?”重要的是要记住,埃博拉病毒传播起来是不分国界的。医生、病人或者任何被迫与这种可怕的疾病抗衡的人都是不分国界的。
我的任务是接替埃玛,她是一位加拿大传染病专家,任期届满。我和埃玛在办公室用了一个小时交接日常工作。她说话的时候,我可以听到隔壁桌传过来的谈话声,至少混着三种不同的语言。接着,埃玛向我介绍了几个人,他们都是无国界医生的工作人员,或者同该组织一起工作的人:威尔顿是一位当地的年轻人,他帮忙把重症患者带进治疗所,负责衣物及皮肤表面消毒;迈西来自澳大利亚的达尔文市,是一名退休的公共卫生官员,他带领当地的志愿者团队给人们进行预防传染培训;阿方索是一位五十来岁的阿根廷医生,说起话来温声细语,曾参与抗击前几次塞拉利昂和几内亚爆发的埃博拉病毒。埃玛还介绍了其他人。这些人来自除南极洲外的世界各地,各种年龄、肤色、信仰都有,而我发现自己是其中唯一一位中国医生。能够和在这里遇到的人一起成为这个杰出小组的一员,我心中的自豪感油然而生,大家的双眼中都熠熠闪耀着奉献精神的光芒。
接下来的几个礼拜里,我已经开始和大家熟稔起来。我们一起工作,周围充斥着血液、呕吐物和死亡。不过,虽然死亡率极高,但是我们永远不会放弃任何一个患者,何况我们的努力有时真的会产生奇迹。
就在我刚刚来到这儿的时候,有一家六口躺在小货车的车斗里被运了过来。他们全都被感染了。不久,其中一对双胞胎姐妹和她们的父母就去世了。我们知道,剩下的兄弟俩也希望渺茫,但是我们竭尽所能去救治他们。第二天早上,我们去病房探望时惊讶地发现,虽然历经千险,两个男孩仍然活了下来。此后,帕斯卡尔和丹尼尔的病痊愈了。相对其他没有那么幸运的病例来说,这次小小的却出乎意料的成功是一种弥补。
患难与共的经历在人与人之间建立了紧密的纽带,不仅仅在于医护人员与患者之间,还在于所有来自世界各地、因为共同事业聚在一起的人们之间。有威尔顿、迈西和阿方索这样的同事已令我倍感鼓舞,更别提其他所有和我们一起共事的人了。
如今我的任期也快结束了。几天后,另一个人就会到达这里,接替我的工作。而无国界医生的成员们将在全世界超过70个国家与地区继续不知疲倦地工作着。这个世界仍然面临着许多问题,我们所有人都必须团结合作,打造一个共享和平繁荣未来的“地球村”。

Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles.Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries.They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail.When the tuk tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers from their destination.They decided to pull it the rest of the way.The tuk tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days.On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal.Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles.They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia.The greatest hardship on the tuk tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America.They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today.They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh.They visited Congolese refugees(难民)in camps in Eastern Burundi.They witnessed how education could free sex workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a U.K.registered charity.
Talking about their motivation, Richard said:“The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge (誓言,承诺), over 57 million primary aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, though still cannot access quality learning opportunities.”

It was a red letter day in the history of medicine —“Target Zero Day”, 8 May 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox (天花), a terrifying disease.It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection — and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread.
According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr Edward Jenner.Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox.He was supposedly inspired by a comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox.Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.
In 1966, 160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme.This heroic 11 year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege.Their hardships were enormous.One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed.Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite.But Henderson and Foege's hard work paid off — three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.
40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease.Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox.It had previously killed 1 in 12 worldwide.In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America.It went on to kill at least another 250 million people — three times more than both world wars combined.Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus COVID 19.Let's recognize Target Zero Day for what it is:a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天花被根除的艰难历程以及“零目标日”的意义。
5.What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination
A.A medical friend.    B.A local milkmaid.
C.Cattle. D.Children.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox可知,有证据表明,Jenner发明天花疫苗的灵感来自他的一个医学方面的朋友John Fewster。

A.To introduce the support from the WHO.
B.To stress the importance of good appetite.

解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中Their hardships were enormous.One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed.可知,他们的困难是巨大的。一位世卫组织官员甚至承诺,如果天花被根除,他将吃掉一只轮胎。由此可以推断,文章提到这位世卫组织官员的承诺是暗示当时世卫组织认为根除天花几乎是不可能的事情,会有很多困难。故选C项。
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.All undefeated infections will be conquered soon.
B.World wars are worse than infections.
C.Canadians benefit from the vaccine most.
D.Smallpox is a terrifying disease.

The widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to the old, who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.
Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new technologies offer.According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China's population.But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet.That means more than three fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits.
Many senior citizens who can't use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (流行病).Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless.They don't know how to call a taxi through the apps.There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don't know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash.Worse still, as they don't know how to get the Internet based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places.Presenting individual health code is part of the epidemic prevention (防疫) and control measures.
New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives.But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside or those whose grown up children don't live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones, either because of financial problems or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point.The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more obvious.
However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived of digital benefits.It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。互联网科技给我们带来了很多便利,但是老年人很少能享受到。本文对这一现象及原因进行了分析。

A.There are a small number of senior citizens in China.
B.Only 23% of the senior citizens can use the computer.
C.Three fourths of the elders are unwilling to use smartphones.
D.Many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of the digital devices.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet.That means more than three fourths of the elderly are deprived(被剥夺) of the digital benefits.可知,数据显示很多老年人享受不到数码设备带来的便利。故选D项。
10.What does the author try to tell us in Paragraph 3
A.Cash is no longer accepted in most shops.
B.It's a must for everyone to have a health code.
C.Most elders need guidance on how to use the apps.
D.Many shops now refuse to offer service to the elderly.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless.They don't know how to call a taxi through the apps.可知,作者试图告诉我们:许多老年人需要一个指导来教他们如何使用应用程序。故选C项。
11.Which of the followings is NOT the reason why the elderly can't enjoy digital benefits
A.Their living areas.
B.Their financial conditions.
C.Their relationship with children.
D.Their difficulty in learning new things.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside ...because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point.可知,居住环境、财务状况和学习新事物有困难是老年人不能享受数码带来的好处的原因,只有C项(他们和孩子的关系)不是其原因。
12.Which word best describes the author's attitude to the current situation of the elderly
A.Positive. B.Worried.
C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
解析:选A 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为,老年人不应该成为被剥夺数码便利的沉默群体。我们有责任帮助他们跨越数码代沟,当他们出现问题时,耐心对待他们。由此可推知,作者对如今老年人现在的状况持积极态度。故选A项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Can a bowl of chicken soup help fight a cold Maybe.But will going outside with wet hair make you sick No. 1 Here are some more.
Feed a cold, starve a fever.Being sick often makes you eat less.But force feeding won't help.What will help is drinking more water and getting enough calories.A 2008 study found that mice having flu took longer to recover and were more likely to suffer ill effects if they were dieting. 2
Vicks VapoRub (薄荷膏) in your socks treats coughs.A widely spread post on line once suggested putting Vicks VapoRub on feet at night and covering them with socks to treat coughs. 3 VapoRub is usually used on a child's chest or throat to reduce cough.So it would not work in your socks.Still, some fans stand by this treatment.
4 Colds and flu are caused by viruses.They do spread during cold weather seasons, but you're more likely to pick them up inside than out.In fact, going outside and getting more physical activities may help prevent sickness.
A wet head can make you sick.You'll probably feel cold if you don't blow your hair dry on a cold day, but not much else will happen. 5 Unless you are so cold that you get a low temperature, which could make you sensitive to flu, wet hair or clothes won't increase your possibility of catching a cold.
A.It became an Internet popularity.
B.Again, colds are caused by a virus.
C.You'll get sick if going out without a coat.
D.That's just an incorrect traditional belief in cold.
E.But you have to actually wear it for the health benefits.
F.Experts suggest adding medicines three times a day to your meal.
G.The researchers' suggestion is to stop dieting until after flu season.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些广为流传但错误的观点,并说明了一些正确的健康知识。
1.选D 根据上文可知,“湿着头发出门会生病”是一种不正确的传统观点。D项(这只是对感冒的一种不正确的传统信仰)承接上文,对上文这个观念进行进一步说明。
2.选G 根据上文A 2008 study found that mice having flu took longer to recover and were more likely to suffer ill effects if they were dieting.可知,流感期间节食会造成不良影响。G项(研究人员的建议是停止节食,直到流感季节过后)承接上文。G项中dieting为原词复现。
3.选A 根据上文A widely spread post on line once suggested putting Vicks VapoRub on feet at night and covering them with socks to treat coughs.可知,网上一个广为流传的帖子曾建议,晚上把薄荷膏敷在脚上,然后用袜子盖住,可以治疗咳嗽。A项(它在互联网上很流行)承接上文,说明“晚上把薄荷膏敷在脚上治疗咳嗽”的做法在网上很流行。
4.选C 根据后文可知,病毒是导致感冒和流感的原因,在室内更容易受病毒影响,而外出锻炼可以预防疾病。故本段是对“外出不穿外套会患病”这种错误观点的说明,故选C项(如果出门不穿外套,你会生病的)。
5.选B 根据后文Unless you are so cold that you get a low temperature, which could make you sensitive to flu, wet hair or clothes won't increase your possibility of catching a cold.可知,本句说明的是真正导致感冒的因素,故B项(再次强调,感冒是由病毒引起的)符合上下文语境。
