If you’ve recently been vaccinated (接种疫苗) against COVID-19, you’re probably feeling relaxed because the vaccine can protect you from getting sick! However, you might also have a lot of questions. Don’t worry. We’re here to help.
Should I wear a mask and keep social distance (社交距离) after I’m vaccinated Yes, when you’re in public—at least for now. Scientists are still learning how COVID-19 vaccines work to protect people. So for right now, it’s still safest to do these while you’re in public. Keep wearing your mask, stay at least 1.8 meters away from other people, and wash your hands often. Also, try to avoid crowded places and areas that don’t have good ventilation (通风).
Can I go to a restaurant after I’m vaccinated It may be best to avoid it for now. Scientists aren’t 100% sure whether you can pick it up and spread it to other people. If you do choose to go to a restaurant or other public places, you still need to wear a mask, wash your hands often, and stay at least 1.8 meters away from others.
Can I travel after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine You should probably still avoid traveling for a while. When you travel, it’s harder to control your environment, so you may still be at a risk of getting or spreading COVID-19, even if you have been vaccinated. If you can, it’s probably better to stay close to home until the pandemic (疫情) is better under control.
1．What does the underlined word “avoid” mean in Chinese
A．错过 B．避免 C．靠近 D．经过
2．You should not travel even if you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, because ________.
A．scientists are not sure if traveling is safe B．you can’t control the environment
C．other people may get COVID-19 because of you D．you may have serious health problems
3．From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．the COVID-19 vaccine cannot work for long
B．you needn’t wash hands often after you receive the COVID-19 vaccine
C．you aren’t safe even if you have received the COVID-19 vaccine
D．you needn’t wear a mask in public after you receive the COVID-19 vaccine
Scientist have done a lot to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus (病毒). Although everything seems to go back to normal, the research hasn’t stopped. According to a new study, a highly dangerous snake could hold a key to fighting the COVID-19 virus. They found a peptide (肽) in the venom (毒液) of the jararacussu snakes. It can effectively slow the growth speed of the virus in monkey cells. That means a possible step toward a medicine to fight the virus.
“It’s just the first step in the long run. The process is still a long way to go,” said Professor Rafael Guido, one of the research scientists. “We were able to see that the peptide prevented the development of the virus in vitro (体外). Besides, we were also able to see that in the lab it was able to stop one of the proteins that is very important for the virus’s ability to grow.”
Guido said the peptide can be produced in the lab making catching or raising the snakes unnecessary.
But Giuseppe Puorto, a scientist studying snakes, still worries people will go out looking for the jararacussu, one of the largest snakes in Brazil that can grow up to 6 feet long. “We are afraid that people will go hunting for the jararacussu all over Brazil thinking it will save the world or themselves, their family. That’s not the case. Is this a significant discovery Without doubt it is. But running after the animal is not how this pandemic (流行病) will be completely solved” said Puorto.
A report from the State University of Sao Paulo said researchers would next study the results of different doses (量) of the peptide and whether it was able to prevent the virus from entering cells in the first place. They hoped to test the peptide in human cells soon but did not give a timeline.
4．How do the researchers in Brazil feel about the new finding
A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Proud.
5．From the article we can know that ________.
A．a protein was made to prevent the virus from spreading
B．the peptide could prevent a protein from increasing in vitro
C．the new medicine will be too expensive to produce
D．the results of different doses of the peptide need further research
6．What does Giuseppe Puorto worry about
A．The peptide cannot be made in the lab.
B．The jararacussu snakes are difficult to catch.
C．The jararacussu snakes may die out soon.
D．People may risk catching the jararacussu snakes.
7．What does the underlined word “significant” probably mean in Chinese

I’m Chen Huan, a 15-year-old boy. My school in the US just opened, but the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) is still a problem there, so I decided to slay in China and take online classes.
My teachers in Boston try to make their classes more interesting. My English teacher, Ms. Green, for example, shows us cat stickers (贴纸) and plays the guitar at the beginning of her class.
Because of the time difference, I have to slay up late. I have to set alarms to wake me up, as my classes go from 8:00 p. m. to 4:00 a. m. Because I’m the only student in my class who is studying online, my teachers like to put me on a big screen. Everyone can see me yawn (打哈欠) clearly.
After my classes are over, I go to sleep at once. Sometimes, I try to enjoy the sunrise (日出) for a while. So far, so good!

There are three characters on everyday stage. I’m the main character COVID-19 vaccine (新冠疫苗), you are my partner nucleic acid test (核酸检测). We have an COVID-19 enemy, his name is COVID-19.
Nowadays, COVID-19 is spreading around the world. He is very tiny but harmful, people can’t see him with their eyes. He can spread from one person to another easily and quickly. People are afraid of him because he can make them sick and have a fever. That’s why people stay at home and hide from him.
Then I’m coming, my name is vaccine, everyone needs me because there is no special medicine to treat COVID-19. I can help people to stay away from the virus (病毒). People can get me for free, if they get me twice, they will have green health codes (健康码) with a needle (针) hat. Now people are supposed to get me a third time in the hospital. This can lower the risk of getting virus. With the third vaccine, people’s green health codes put on a shield (盾牌), it’s also a passport to enter public places.
You are my best partner, nucleic acid test. People just need to stand there and open their mouths to take you. Doctors and nurses are working hard to check whether people have COVID-19 or not. They all think you are the most useful way.
So far, you and I have performed pretty well on this stage. Thanks to our strong country, we will pull together to make sure people can live a normal and safe life.

请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
The COVD-19 has made a big difference to our lives. In many countries, it has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of coronavirus (冠状病毒), people are changing their social habits in order to protect themselves. They give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let’s take a look.
France is famous for its romantic greeting. They touch each other’s faces and make a kissing sound. But now, this habit may have to stop. A French manner expert gives everyone in France a suggestion that simply looking into a person’s eyes can be enough as a greeting.
Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight the disease. According to her, if you want to say hello to others, do not hug or kiss. Instead, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink (眨眼). Isn’t it cute
It’s a very Australian thing to put your hand out to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now the Australian government is asking Australians to take a pat (轻拍) on the back instead of a handshake. But it also has some problems. For example, it’s a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher. What do you think
Traditionally, people in Iran shake hands to greet with one another. But today, the COVID-19 has made “footshake” a new way of greeting. A video has been popular in Iran, showing three friends meeting-hands in their pockets-tapping their feet against each other as a greeting.
30．This passage mainly introduces four new ________.
A．foreign countries B．interesting stories C．social habits
31．If you meet your friend Han Min in France this year, you’d better ________ as a greeting.
