All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian(人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines, supplies and contamination suits, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago. We meet in Paris at MSF headquarters. Dedieu has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She says the situation there is a complete disaster. "Even during the war, I haven't seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren't there," she says. Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. "I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a 'medical cowboy'," says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. "We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations." But Brauman says that's the nature of health care. "We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases," he says. "That's how it works in general. It was a kind of fight. MSF won that fight," says Brauman.
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he's worked with other humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and motivation he's found at MSF. "The main thing that's different about MSF from the point of view of someone like me who goes out and works in the field is that when there's an emergency, other organizations say, 'Whoa, this is an emergency. We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.' And MSF has the funding," he says. "We start right away." Ninety percent of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed.
1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce a function of MSF.
B. To show the seriousness of Ebola.
C. To explore a distribution center of MSF.
D. To encourage donations to Ebola-affected countries.
2. What can be learned about Kathy Dedieu
A. She is working in Liberia.
B. She founded MSF with many other doctors.
C. She was once a soldier in the civil war in 2003.
D. She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals.
3. What was people's attitude to MSF in the early years
A. Hopeful. B. Curious. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
4. How is MSF different from other humanitarian organizations according to Cameron Bopp
A. It involves many journalists. B. It has a lot of reliable donors.
C. It is operated by doctors themselves. D. It obtains funding from the government.

Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike. The 45-year-old man was a beloved community figure. But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung, he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier. A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly, against Philippine tradition, and all eight people who lived with him were kept in quarantine (隔离) for 14 days in their crowded home.
Yet when Anthony Cortez, the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine, arrived to check on the Fernandez family, none of them expressed anger. Instead, faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly.
Cortez, the only community doctor in Bambang, has overseen their medical care for years. They trust him, and he makes them laugh. The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor. When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever, the 56-year-old, in a surgical mask, a face shield, and rubber gloves, showed "air fives" instead. For the 56,000 people living in Bambang, Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder.
When the first coronavirus(冠状病毒) case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, the town's response fell to Cortez. He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that, if necessary, would go beyond national restrictions. Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.
Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing. Using information from the town's 25 villages, he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries, and placed them under strict home quarantine. Anyone with infectious disease symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty.
"It is safer to assume that everybody is positive," he explained.
1. What is Cortez's reaction to the death of Francisco Fernandez
A. Expressing his sympathy. B. Drowning himself into grief.
C. Showing professional sensitivity. D. Following the tradition.
2. On what basis does Cortez take strict measures to protect Bambang
A. Its geographic character. B. Its lack of medical staff.
C. Its large population. D. The demand of the nation.
3. What can be inferred about the contact tracing system set up by Cortez
A. It is totally a waste of effort. B. It is complained about by local people.
C. It is praised by higher authorities. D. It is effective as a protective means.
4. Where is this text most likely from
A.A diary. B.A novel. C.A magazine. D.A biography.
答案以及解析
【夯实基础】
1.答案:tragic
解析:句意:莎士比亚写了很多精彩的喜剧和悲剧剧本。用形容词修饰后面的名词plays。
2.答案:infectious
解析:句意:那些传染病患者同其他病人被紧急隔离开。用形容词修饰名词diseases。
3.答案:was compensated
解析:句意:她受伤后获得保险公司的赔偿。陈述已经发生的事情,用一般过去时;主语She和谓语动词compensate之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
4.答案:To tackle
解析:句意:为了应对这一危机,他选择了学习农业,并在重庆的西南农学院接受了教育。分析句意可知,空格处用动词不定式作状语,表示目的;且因为位于句首,故动词不定式符号to的首字母要大写。
5.答案:vitally
解析:句意:教育者教育学生的方式至关重要。修饰形容词important用副词形式。
【提升能力】
6.答案:We did find a gold watch for women
解析: "do/does/did+动词原形"构成强调结构,用来强调谓语动词。根据句中的cleared可知此处应用did表示强调。
7.答案:It is not the first time that Chinese medicine has played an important role
解析:本题考查"It is+次数+ that从句"句型,that引导的定语从句中用现在完成时,表示动作已经完成。
8.答案:has put many lives of wild animals at risk
解析: put… at risk"使……受到威胁",为固定用法。根据句中的"since its outbreak"可知,这里应用现在完成时。
9.答案:whose father is my chemistry teacher
解析:结合句意并分析句子结构可知,空处为定语从句。关系词在从句中作定语,表示所属关系,故用whose引导该非限制性定语从句。
10.答案:it is vital to wear masks when people go out/to wear masks when people go out is vital
解析:此处可以用不定式短语作主语;也可以用it作形式主语,真正的主语仍是动词不定式短语。

A
答案:1-4.ADDB
解析:1.推理判断题。第一段主要呈现了无国界医生组织的一个分发中心为埃博拉病毒感染国家配发物资的场景,其目的是展示该组织的一项功能,而不是为了展示埃博拉病毒的严重,因此B项不正确。C项“探究无国界医生组织的一个分发中心”与D项“鼓励向受埃博拉病毒影响的国家捐赠”与文意不符。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted.可知,Kathy Dedieu的工作是确保医院的清洁区和污染区是分开的,即预防医院被污染。由第二段中的Dedieu has just returned from Liberia可以判断,Dedieu目前不在利比里亚,因此A项错误;由第二段的最后一句话可知,2003年利比里亚国内战争爆发时,Dedieu在利比里亚,并没有提到她在当兵,因此C项错误;由第三段第一句话可以看出,无国界医生组织并不是由Dedieu建立的,因此B项错误。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的being criticized in the 1980s和were blamed可知,无国界医生组织成立之初是不被人们接受的。hopeful充满希望的;curious好奇的;uncaring冷漠的;disapproving不赞同的。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的when there's an emergency... do what's really needed可知,Cameron Bopp认为无国界医生组织不同于其他人道主义组织最主要的一点是它有许多可靠的捐赠者。该组织的赞助不是来自政府,而是来自捐赠者,因此D项错误;A、C两项从Cameron Bopp所说的话中看不出,与文意不符。故选B项。
B
答案:1-4.CADC
解析:1.推理判断题。由第一段内容尤其是最后一句A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly... in their crowded home.可知,Cortez依据死者的死亡检查报告和疫情情况,立即对死者的家人采取隔离措施。由此可推知,Cortez展现出了他的职业敏感性。A项“表达他的同情”,B项“使自己沉浸在悲伤中”和D项“遵循传统”都不符合文意。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。由第四段最后两句Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.可知,Bambang地处交通要道,Cortez意识到疫情可能会对这个村庄产生影响,决定采取严格的防控措施,而不是出于缺少医务工作者、人口多或者国家的需要。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后两句Anyone with infectious disease symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty.可知,任何出现了传染病症状的人都会被送往山区的隔离点,而到目前为止山区的隔离点还没有人。由此可推知,Cortez建立的接触追踪系统是有效的,因此A项错误;这些措施没有受到人们的抱怨,因此B项错误;C项信息文中没有提及。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了乡村医生Cortez投身于新冠病毒防控的事迹。由此可推知,本文很有可能选自杂志。diary 日记;novel小说;magazine杂志;biography传记。故选C项。
