Zhong Nanshan is a Chinese famous medical expert who played a huge role in studying the origin, of SARS, a lethal(致命的) respiratory(呼吸的) disease in 2003 and controlled the SARS outbreak in Guangdong Province back then.
In 2020, while many people in China are taking high-speed trains back home for Chinese New Year holiday, Zhong was caught traveling on the high- speed train to Wuhan.
Zhong Nanshan is a Medical Professor of Guangzhou Medical College. He graduated from Beijing Medical College, majoring in Medical Science. From 1979 to 1981, Dr. Zhong worked as a associate researcher at the Department Respiratory Medicine, Royal Infirmary, University of Edinburgh and St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
University of London. He was President of Chinese Thoracic Society ( 2000-2007 ) and. the former President of Chinese Medical Association (2005-2009). At present, he is Director of Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease, and Director- General of China State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease. Besides, he has been an acadermician of Chinese Academy of Engineering since 1996, which is the highest academic position in the field of medicine in China.
In 2003, people in China and around the world went through a terrible experience, SARS. By Aug. 7,2003, it had taken about 916 lives worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
In the middle of this deadly disease, Zhong Nanshan became a trusted name across China. At the age of 67 at that time, Zhong stood on the front line in the fight against SARS. Some doctors and nurses died after getting infected(感染) with SARS themselves. But Zhong was not afraid. He asked for the most badly affected patients to be sent to his hospital. .
Zhong always told the truth. When some experts said chlamydia(衣原体病) was the main cause of SARS, Zhong had a different opinion. He thought chlamydia might be one cause of death, but not the only cause of SARS. Not long after that, he created a great treatment method for SARS. Guangdong Province ended up with the lowest deaths for SARS in China thanks to his success.
His work to find the truth not only earned him fame. More importantly, he got the trust of his patients and respect from the people. "When others say something, people may not believe them, a friend of Zhong's said to Life Week." But when Zhong says it, they believe in him. "This trust has gone beyond the medical research.

If there's one thing I've learned from my years of being a kid, it's that you have ZERO control over your own life.
Ever since school ended. I haven't had anything I've needed to do or anywhere I've needed to be. As long as the air conditioner was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.
But then, out of the blue, this happened "Pack your bags. We're going on a road trip!" Mom said excitedly.
This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warning. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.
It wasn't my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie. Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going—Disney World.
I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad. But when my little brother Danny heard about the change, he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.
We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.
I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a "bonding" experience for the whole family.

Do animals have a culture What do we mean by "culture" Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When wespeak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate in language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees （黑猩猩）can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
14．Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage
A．A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.
B．Animals can invent tools as human beings do.
C．Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.
D．The line dividing human culture from animal "culture" is not as clear as we might think.
15．Culture refers to ____________.
A．the languages we learn B．the patterns of behavior we learn
C．traditional ideas D．people's good habits
16．A chimpanzee s use of tools means "____________".
A．animals are the same as human beings
B．animals can be as clever as human beings
C．the dividing line between human beings and animals no longer exists
D．animals may have a culture like our own
14．D
15．B
16．D
主要讲了人们一直认为人类和其他动物的区别在于人类会制造工具，人类有自己的文化，这些文化包括人们的信仰、态度以及人们相处的行为方式。本文提出动物也有自己的文化，黑猩猩也会制造工具，或许人类和动物的界限并不像我们以前想的那样。
考查阅读理解，首先读懂题意，然后从文中抓住关键词句理解句意，最后确定答案。
14．主旨大意归纳题。文章主要提出动物也有自己的文化，或许人类和动物的界限并不像我们以前想的那样。故选D。
15．推断题。根据短文第一段这句When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common.当我们谈到文化时，我们指的是一群人共同的生活方式，可知文化指的是我们学习的行为模式，故选B。
16．细节题。根据But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals.人类行为或“文化”的这些方面也可以在某些动物的生活中找到，即动物可能有着和我们一样的文化，故选D。

Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I asked him to answer questions, he'd reply with a flip（轻率的）answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.
Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, "Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own " He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can't remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week's out- of-school punishment.
The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment.
From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege(特权) to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference.
When the year was over, he wrote me a thank- you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching.

Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn't have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn't have e mails either, so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It's so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren't any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn't have. We didn't have a refrigerator(冰箱)so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn't have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal(煤)or wood to keep warm. We didn't have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.
When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is an unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at studying and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius of my university.
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.
I remembered that my Mathematics wasmediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving Mathematics questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. Though we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my Mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in Mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in a society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make us fail in life, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learnt so much from him, and I became better and better.
We separated three months ago. Now I miss him very much, and I hope that our friendship will continue to be just strong after we graduate.

There was a little girl named Jane Eyre whose parents had passed away. Jane used to live with her aunt and her aunt's three spoiled(被宠坏的) children. Her cousins always got her into trouble so her aunt did not want to look after her anymore. Soon, Jane was sent to a school far from home.
On her first day at school, the headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst introduced Jane to the other pupils. He told them that no one was allowed to talk or sit beside Jane because she was a bad child. He punished her by making her stand in a corner that day. She was very sad and lonely. Nobody dared to disobey(不服从) Mr. Brocklehurst, or they would have to clean the school hall all night. The pupils had no enough food to eat and they were usually hungry. Jane felt very miserable there.
Ten years later, Jane completed her schooling. She was glad to get away from the school. She worked for a rich man named Mr. Rochester. Jane was asked to look after his young daughter, Adele. Jane liked working in the house. However, Mr. Rochester was a strange man. He was very quiet and always looked sad. Jane felt sorry for him and was kind to him. Jane would spend time talking to him. Soon, little by little, his sadness lifted.

大意：本文主要讲述了一位叫做Jane的小女孩的故事，从小和婶婶还有堂兄弟生活在一起，但是经常被欺负，后来被婶婶送到离家很远的学校，学校的校长也不待见她，生活很艰苦。十年后，终于离开了学校，有了自己的工作。
（1）细节题。根据第一段 Jane used to live with her aunt and her aunt's three spoiled(被宠坏的) children. 可知他在送到学校之前，是和她的婶婶和三个堂兄弟住在一起的，故选C。
（2）细节题。根据第二段 Nobody dared to disobey(不服从) Mr. Brocklehurst, or they would have to clean the school hall all night，可知谁要是违抗布罗克赫斯特先生的命令，他们就得整夜打扫学校的礼堂，故选D。
（3）此一猜测题。根据上文 he pupils had no enough food to eat and they were usually hungry ，可知学生们没有足够的食物吃，他们通常很饿，可猜测miserable表示消极的情绪，因此排除A和C，D选项的程度不够，且主要表示对其他人的遗憾，故选B。
（4）判断正误题。根据第三段 She worked for a rich an named Mr. Rochester ，可知她在为一位叫做Mr. Rochester富人工作，因此Mr. Rochester是一位富人，故A 正确。根据第三段 Jane was asked to look after his young daughter ，他叫Jane去照顾他的小女儿，因此B正确。根据第三段 Mr. Rochester was a strange man. He was very quiet and always looked sad ，可知罗切斯特先生是个奇怪的人。他很安静，看上去总是很悲伤，因此C正确，也因此可判断出他不是一位很开心，并喜欢帮助别人的人，因此D是错误的，故选D。

I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades. When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted, I described something like bikers' wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.
The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.
From the kitchen Mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it for a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like, an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.
I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子)，turning right and left. I looked ugly.
I threw it on my brother's bed and looked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.
The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, looked at me for a long time. The girls turned away to whisper.

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child's development. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class I have a usual big worry-her new class teacher. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can't wait to see how things are going on.
Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and worries.
This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It's hard not to like her. Here are the changes in my daughter.
She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school.

She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.
She's happy. She enjoys school and schoolwork and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.
She's responsible. She used to be careless and forgetful. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.
Her diary is full of praise. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative (负面的) reports. One time, she poured water in a child's lunchbox. Another time she threw another kid's textbook in the toilet. Now she begins to share her snacks with those who do not have anything. She's always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher's chair and desk.

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small lake in the southeast of the town. They have filled in the lake and built a large shopping mall and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just across from my old school. The baseball stadium in the northeast of Wilson Creek has also changed completely. They have a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a pedestrian area( 步行区) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a large square and a cinema. There is also a new street cafe and a grassy area.
My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

If there's one thing I've learned from my years of being a kid, it's that you have ZERO control over your own life.
Ever since school ended. I haven't had anything I've needed to do or anywhere I've needed to be. As long as the air conditioner was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.
But then, out of the blue, this happened "Pack your bags. We're going on a road trip!" Mom said excitedly.
This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warning. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.
It wasn't my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie. Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going—Disney World.
I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad. But when my little brother Danny heard about the change, he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.
We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.
I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a "bonding" experience for the whole family.
9．What did the writer prefer to do during his summer holidays
A．Visit Aunt Loretta with the family.
B．Travel with his family anywhere.
C．Look after his little brother.

11．Who makes the final decision in the family

12．The writer wrote the passage to ___________.
A．remember his mother B．tell the story of his aunt

Do animals have a culture What do we mean by "culture" Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When wespeak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate in language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees （黑猩猩）can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
14．Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage
A．A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.
B．Animals can invent tools as human beings do.
C．Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.
D．The line dividing human culture from animal "culture" is not as clear as we might think.
15．Culture refers to ____________.
A．the languages we learn B．the patterns of behavior we learn
C．traditional ideas D．people's good habits
16．A chimpanzee s use of tools means "____________".
A．animals are the same as human beings
B．animals can be as clever as human beings
C．the dividing line between human beings and animals no longer exists
D．animals may have a culture like our own

Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I asked him to answer questions, he'd reply with a flip（轻率的）answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.
Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, "Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own " He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can't remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week's out- of-school punishment.
The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment.
From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege(特权) to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference.
When the year was over, he wrote me a thank- you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching.
17．When Tyler was talking in class, the teacher advised him to ______.

Two years ago, my family moved to a new city and I had to study in a new school. As I had few friends there, I felt lonely. Then I met Tony.

Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn't have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn't have e mails either, so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It's so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren't any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn't have. We didn't have a refrigerator(冰箱)so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn't have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal(煤)or wood to keep warm. We didn't have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.
When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is an unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at studying and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius of my university.
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.
I remembered that my Mathematics wasmediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving Mathematics questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. Though we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my Mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in Mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in a society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make us fail in life, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learnt so much from him, and I became better and better.
We separated three months ago. Now I miss him very much, and I hope that our friendship will continue to be just strong after we graduate.

I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades. When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted, I described something like bikers' wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.
The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.
From the kitchen Mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it for a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like, an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.
I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子)，turning right and left. I looked ugly.

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child's development. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class I have a usual big worry-her new class teacher. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can't wait to see how things are going on.
Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and worries.
This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It's hard not to like her. Here are the changes in my daughter.
She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.
She's happy. She enjoys school and schoolwork and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.
She's responsible. She used to be careless and forgetful. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.
Her diary is full of praise. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative (负面的) reports. One time, she poured water in a child's lunchbox. Another time she threw another kid's textbook in the toilet. Now she begins to share her snacks with those who do not have anything. She's always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher's chair and desk.
