A
It was a lifesaving task as thrilling as any in the months-long battle against the wildfires that have torn through the Australian bush. But instead of a race to save humans or animals, a specialized team of Australian firefighters was bent on saving invaluable plant life: hidden groves (树林) of the Wollemi pine, a prehistoric tree species.
Wollemi pines peaked in abundance 34 million to 65 million years ago, before a steady decline. Today, only 200 of the trees exist in their natural environment. The trees are so rare that they were thought to die out until 1994. That’s the year when David Noble, an officer with the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, came across a grove of large trees he didn’t recognize.
Noble brought back a few branches and showed them to other biologists and botanists. A month later, Noble returned to the grove with some scientists. It was then that they realized what they had found: “a prehistoric tree species that has outlived the dinosaurs.” the American Scientist explains. So when Australia’s wildfires started burning toward Wollemi National Park in recent weeks, firefighters from the parks and wildlife service put a carefully planned operation into action.
Large air tankers dropped fire retardant (阻燃剂) around the pines. Firefighters set up an irrigation (灌溉) system around the trees to keep them wet. “If the fire did go through, we wanted it to be a cool burn as opposed to a hot burn to give them the best chance of survival,” Kean said. The fire did sweep through the groves where these trees have somehow survived for millions of years. For a few days, the smoke was so thick that it wasn’t clear whether the plan had worked. At last the smoke eased off. A few trees had been burned by the flames, and two died. But the efforts had paid off. “Finally,” Kean said, “we were able to get in there and see that, thank goodness, the trees were saved.”
20.What do we know about Wollemi pines
A.Scientists searched for them in the wild.
B.They used to grow in parts of Australia.
C.There were a considerable number of them long ago.
D.Firefighters and biologists cooperated to keep them alive.
21.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “outlived” in Paragraph 3
A.been superior to. B.been related to.
C.died earlier than. D.existed longer than.
22.What can be learned from the last paragraph
A.It was cool to drop retardant over the fire.
B.It wasn’t clear whether the trees were saved.
C.It helped the trees survive to keep them wet.
D.It worked best for the trees to keep a hot burn.
23.What is the passage mainly about
A.An investigation into Wollemi pines.
B.A hard-won battle against the wildfires.
C.Constructing a firefighting system for the trees.
D.Saving world’s rare pine species from wildfires.

Chinese researchers have developed a robot designed to help doctors treat the new coronavirus and other highly infectious diseases. The machine has a long robotic arm attached to a base with wheels. It can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors. For example, the device can perform ultrasounds (超声波扫描检查), collect fluid samples from a person’s mouth and listen to sounds made by a patient’s organs. Cameras record the robot’s activities, which are controlled remotely so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients. Doctors and other medical workers can operate the machine in another place.
The robot’s main designer Zheng Gangtie, an engineer and professor at China’s Tsinghua University, told Reuters news agency that he got the idea for the device when his medical friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers treating patients were getting infected themselves. Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation. So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robotic device.
Zheng said the devices use the same technology that is used for space equipment, including moon explorers. The new robot is almost completely automated. It can even disinfect itself after performing actions involving patient contact.
However, Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic. This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment.
The team currently has two robots and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was taken to Wuhan’s Union Hospital, where doctors there got trained to use it. The plan is to use the robot to help treat coronavirus patients, along with assistance from nurses and other hospital workers.
Zheng would like to build more of the robots, but says money from the university has run out. Each robot costs about $72,000 to make. He says he does not plan to commercialize the design, but hopes that a company can begin that process.
24.What do we know about the newly-invented robot
A.It is used for space exploration.
B.It completely operates on its own.
C.It carries out complicated surgical treatments.
D.It protects doctors from risky contact with patients.
25.Which of the following may accelerate the development of the machine
A.Assistance of AI. B.Financial support.
C.Community help. D.Professional advice.
26.What can we infer from the last three paragraphs
A.The device may not be welcomed by all patients.
B.The device has been widely used to treat patients.
C.Zheng has received further funds from companies.
D.Zheng continued the production for official support.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A.Promising Future for the Robot
B.Novel Device to Cure Coronavirus
C.New Assistant to Fight Coronavirus
D.Helpful Design to Save the Patients
C
The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them be targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.
28.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _____.
A.making huge profits C.traveling on the Silk Road
B.exchanging goods and ideas D.connecting different civilizations
29.Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts
A.The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B. Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C.It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D. There were more natural water sources available.
30.What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert
A.They offered travelers free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
31.What is the passage mainly about
A.The origins of the Silk Road.
B.The benefits of the Silk Road.
C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
D
Cattle manure(粪肥) has become one of the world’s greatest environmental killers, but one Dutch artist is using chemistry to turn it into something that is both eco-friendly and valuable.
In recent years, scientist around the world have made great progress in their attempts to recycle cattle manure, including turning it into natural fertilizer, but the artist Jalila Essaidi in Eindhoven didn’t think they were efficient enough to solve the global manure problem. So she started on her very own solution, one that approached animal waste as a valuable material that could be processed into useful products.
She started by separating the waste, with the dry manure used to get pure cellulose (纤维)from the grass that cows eat. From the wet manure, she got acids used to create a natural liquid plastic which was used to make fibers that are later turned into fabric (material used for making clothes).
This new material was named Mestic, from mest, the Dutch word for manure. Essaidi claims that it has the same function as plastic from fossil fuels, but is biodegradable(可生物降解). Better yet, the degradability can be dealt with in the lab, making it possible to create materials that last for different periods of time depending on their purposes.” This is not the first time scientists have been looking for ways to solve the manure problem, but it is the first time manure has been considered as a valuable resource,” the Dutch artists said.
Last year, Jalila Essaidi partnered the city of Eindhoven to produce a fashion show using Mestic-based fabrics. Her Mestic collection was so impressive that clothing giant H&M awarded her the Global Change Award and a$1 million prize. And cow manure is just the beginning of Jalia Essaidi’s experiments with animal waste.“After cows,we will deal with pigs and other animals,”she said.
32.Why has the author written the text
A.To suggest practical ways to deal with cattle manure.
B.To advertise some clothes made by a Dutch company.
C.To introduce how an artist turns cow manure into clothing material.
D.To persuade people to purchase products made from manure.
33.Which is the correct order of making Mestic-based clothing
A.Acids→liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→clothing.
B.Manure→acids→liquid plastic→fibers→fabric→clothing
C.Liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→acids→clothing.
D.Fibers→manure→acids→fabric→liquid plastic→clothing.
34.What do we know about Mestic
A.Its smell is rather terrible. B.It is made from fossil fuels.
C.Its name has a Dutch origin. D.It can only be made in the lab.
35.What do Jalis Essaidi’s words in the last paragraph mean
A.Something more needs to be done about cow manure.
B.She will switch to other animals waste in the future.
C.What experiments to do next really puzzles her.
D.The future of fashionable clothing is optimistic.

How to Avoid Spreading a Cold or Other Virus
It's more significant than before to ensure you're taking all of the steps you can to prevent spreading virus that can make you and your loved ones sick. Fortunately, some of the most effective steps for preventing the spread of disease are also the easiest. 36
Wash your hands often. The best way that you can help prevent the spread of virus is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Wash your hands for 20 seconds, making sure to scrub(擦洗)your palms, the backs of your hands and fingers, under your fingernails, and around your thumbs. 37
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. It can be really difficult. 38 That includes being careful not to rub your eyes, scratch your nose, or bite your nails, because virus can more easily enter your body from these areas.
39 To protect yourself, avoid sharing items like clothing, makeup, drinks with anyone else, including members of your own household. That way, even if one person is sick, the virus will be less likely to spread to anyone else.
Practice social distancing. If there's an illness going around, like during cold and flu season, try to limit your contact with other people. Those types of virus are often spread when a person sneezes or coughs. 40 And do the same if it's you that may be sick. That way, the virus will be less likely to spread.
It's smart to drink bottled water.
B. Don't share personal items with other people.
C. Wear a face mask if you have to be around others.
D. Then wash your hands with clean water thoroughly.
E. Here are some steps to prevent people from becoming ill.
F. So stay at least 6 ft (1.8 m) away from anyone who may be sick.
G. However, try to break the habit of touching your face throughout the day.
