八、阅读理解
A
Feng Bangli, who lives in Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected(怀疑)that he had been infected(感染)with the virus(病毒). He tried several times to be in hospital but failed. He finally gave up and stayed at home, taking medicine followed by doctors.
At that time, “too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive(阳性)for COVID-19(新冠状病毒)and was sent to a temporary hospital(临时医院)for treatment.
“Without such temporary hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng, who got better and was able to leave the temporary hospital in Wuchang district(地区)at the end of February after staying there for 12 days.
Like Feng, more than 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 temporary hospitals, which were rebuilt from exhibition halls, sports centers and so on. These hospitals, which mainly received patients who are not serious, contained one in every four confirmed(确认的)COVID-19 patients in the city, said Ma Xiaowei.
“Building temporary hospitals was a key decision made in the moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic(疫情)control, and it has played an important role in both preventing and treating the disease,” he said.
Temporary hospitals have greatly reduced pressure on designated(指定的)hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang temporary hospital.
Temporary hospitals have now been accepted in other countries. Eight temporary hospitals are being built in Iran(伊朗), to fight against the virus. The one rebuilt from the Iran shopping center, the largest shopping center in the country, is expected to have a total of 3,000 beds, according to People’s Daily.
On March 29, a temporary hospital is rebuilt in Central Park in New York, where it will provide 68 hospital beds.
“Considering the ways we can increase the number of hospital beds right now is important,” Dr. Andrew “If hospitals do become in shortage, and new hospitals need to be built up.”
1．What point does the writer make by using Feng Bangli’s example
A．COVID-19 has infected a large number of people in a very short time.
B．Hospitals should always be prepared for any unexpected situations.
C．The COVID-19 outbreak happened suddenly without the slightest warning.
D．temporary hospitals have played an important role in the fight against COVID-19.
2．What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．new B．basic C．difficult D．strange
3．Why did Wuhan build temporary hospitals during the outbreak of COVID-19, the followings are the reasons for it except _______.
A．it has greatly reduced pressure on designated hospitals to receive and treat patients
B．it was needed for receiving and treating patients
C．Wuhan has a poor medical system
D．the designated hospitals became in shortage
4．What did Dr. Andrew think of Iran’s and New York’s recent measures
A．They wasted resources. B．They were greatly helpful.
C．They were not practical. D．They would not be as useful as China’s.
5．What is the main purpose of the article
A．To praise China’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
B．To call on other countries to copy China’s method of fighting the virus.
C．To show the value of building temporary hospitals to fight COVID-19.
D．To compare the measures different countries have taken to deal with COVID-19.
B.根据短文内容,从短文后所给的选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
There is no way that you don’t have any embarrassing moments. You can’t control everything that happens, so you’re going to be in an embarrassing situation one day. 31. The answer is to control your actions and try not to get upset.
◆Remember that you’ll probably laugh about it in a few days, so try to see the funny side of it.
◆If it is something so embarrassing that you feel you will never laugh about it, 32.
◆Ask your friends to give you a break and not to make fun of you. If you’ve done the same for them, they’re more likely to agree to give you a break.
Always remember that you are not alone. 33. While you are sure that everyone is going to remember this moment forever, the fact is that they’ll probably forget it very soon. Most of us remember the moments in which we feel embarrassed, 34.
Most people have short memories. So while you may never forget the moment when your skirt was torn(撕裂) in gym class, most of the other people probably forget it at once. Although a short memory may not be a good thing when you are trying to remember facts in a history test, 35.
A. but very few of us remember other people’s embarrassing moments.
B. please remember that the pain will be over after some time.
C. think about something worse.
D.it is useful when you are trying to forget life’s most embarrassing moments.

考查非谓语动词。cry哭，动词原形；cried哭，动词过去式；crying哭，现在分词或动名词；to cry哭，动词不定式；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“停止哭泣”，根据固定搭配stop doing sth，所以空格应该用doing形式，在句中做宾语，故选C。

—Because my bike ________ on the half way.
A. broke down B. broke off C. turned down D. turned off
【答案】A
【解析】句意：——你为什么上学迟到？——因为我的自行车中途抛锚了。
考查动词短语辨析。broke down出故障；broke off中断；turned down拒绝；turned off关闭。根据“Why were you late for school ”可推断，答话人的自行车应该是出故障了。故选A。

A. had been; stopped B. was; has stopped
C. had been; had stopped D. was; had stopped

【解析】句意：学校放学时，雨已经停了。所以我没用雨衣。
考查过去完成时。根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“到放学的时候，雨已经停了”，“雨停了”这个动作是发生在“放学时”之前，所以这里“放学”应该用过去时，而“雨停了”应该用过去完成时，故选D。

C. selling well; sell well D. for sale; sell well

考查动词短语及一般现在时的被动语态。sell out卖光；on sale 廉价出售；sell well畅销，没有被动语态。第一个空，根据“Sorry”，可知此处表示“被卖光”，“be+动词的过去分词”构成被动语态结构，因此用sold out；第二个空，根据“we’ll get some more next week”我们会多进一些货，可知是因为它们“卖得好”，用sell well；故选B。
13. All the teachers except Miss Zhang ________ in the teaching meeting last Saturday.
A. showed up B. attended C. show up D. attend

【解析】句意：除了张老师以外，所有的老师都出席了上周六的教学会议。

八、阅读理解
A
Feng Bangli, who lives in Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected(怀疑)that he had been infected(感染)with the virus(病毒). He tried several times to be in hospital but failed. He finally gave up and stayed at home, taking medicine followed by doctors.
At that time, “too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive(阳性)for COVID-19(新冠状病毒)and was sent to a temporary hospital(临时医院)for treatment.
“Without such temporary hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng, who got better and was able to leave the temporary hospital in Wuchang district(地区)at the end of February after staying there for 12 days.
Like Feng, more than 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 temporary hospitals, which were rebuilt from exhibition halls, sports centers and so on. These hospitals, which mainly received patients who are not serious, contained one in every four confirmed(确认的)COVID-19 patients in the city, said Ma Xiaowei.
“Building temporary hospitals was a key decision made in the moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic(疫情)control, and it has played an important role in both preventing and treating the disease,” he said.
Temporary hospitals have greatly reduced pressure on designated(指定的)hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang temporary hospital.
Temporary hospitals have now been accepted in other countries. Eight temporary hospitals are being built in Iran(伊朗), to fight against the virus. The one rebuilt from the Iran shopping center, the largest shopping center in the country, is expected to have a total of 3,000 beds, according to People’s Daily.
On March 29, a temporary hospital is rebuilt in Central Park in New York, where it will provide 68 hospital beds.
“Considering the ways we can increase the number of hospital beds right now is important,” Dr. Andrew “If hospitals do become in shortage, and new hospitals need to be built up.”
1．What point does the writer make by using Feng Bangli’s example
A．COVID-19 has infected a large number of people in a very short time.
B．Hospitals should always be prepared for any unexpected situations.
C．The COVID-19 outbreak happened suddenly without the slightest warning.
D．temporary hospitals have played an important role in the fight against COVID-19.
2．What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．new B．basic C．difficult D．strange
3．Why did Wuhan build temporary hospitals during the outbreak of COVID-19, the followings are the reasons for it except _______.
A．it has greatly reduced pressure on designated hospitals to receive and treat patients
B．it was needed for receiving and treating patients
C．Wuhan has a poor medical system
D．the designated hospitals became in shortage
4．What did Dr. Andrew think of Iran’s and New York’s recent measures
A．They wasted resources. B．They were greatly helpful.
C．They were not practical. D．They would not be as useful as China’s.
5．What is the main purpose of the article
A．To praise China’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
B．To call on other countries to copy China’s method of fighting the virus.
C．To show the value of building temporary hospitals to fight COVID-19.
D．To compare the measures different countries have taken to deal with COVID-19.
【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C
【解析 】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在新冠肺炎疫情肆虐的情况下，人们建造了临时医院，主要接收症状较轻的患者，临时医院极大地减轻了定点医院接收和治疗患者的压力，使治疗和隔离所有有需要的人成为可能，这对防治疫情起到了重要作用。
1．推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Without such temporary hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,’ said Feng,”可知，冯说:“如果没有这样的临时医院，很多像我这样的新冠肺炎患者可能永远找不到床位。”由此可以推知，作者通过冯邦利的例子说明临时医院在抗击新冠肺炎疫情中发挥了重要作用。故选D。
2．词义猜测题。根据第五段“Building temporary hospitals was a key decision made in the moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic(疫情)control”可知，建造临时医院是在关键时刻做出的决定，那个时候武汉是面临着疫情防控的艰难任务。因此“formidable”意思应是“艰难的、困难的”，与“difficult”同义。故选C。
3．推理判断题。根据第六段“Temporary hospitals have greatly reduce pressure on designated(指定的)hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang temporary hospital.”可知，武昌临时医院副院长徐俊梅表示，临时医院极大地减轻了定点医院接收和治疗患者的压力，使治疗和隔离所有有需要的人成为可能。结合文章内容，可知A、B、D选项均符合题意，而C选项“武汉的医疗系统很差”不符合题意。故选C。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘Considering the ways we can increase the number of hospital beds right now is important,’ Dr. Andrew”可知，考虑到我们现在能够增加病床的数量的方法是很重要的。由此可知，Dr. Andrew认为伊朗和纽约的措施是非常有帮助的。故选B。
5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了在新冠肺炎疫情肆虐的情况下，人们建造的临时医院为防治疫情起到了重要作用，结合选项可知，C选项“展示建造临时医院抗击新冠肺炎的价值”，符合题意。故选C。
B.根据短文内容,从短文后所给的选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
