Passage
1：Worldwide
defence
During
the
outbreak
of
novel
coronavirus,
cities
are
locked
down
and
borders
are
closed.
Science,
on
the
contrary,
is
becoming
more
open.
And
this
“open
science”
is
already
making
a
difference.
Soon
after
the
epidemic
started
in
China,
a
research
team
from
Fudan
University
in
Shanghai
successfully
sequenced
(测定序列)
the
DNA
of
the
virus.
But
they
didn’t
keep
the
information
to
themselves.
Instead,
they
placed
the
sequences
on
GenBank,
an
open-access
data
platform,
so
researchers
around
the
world
could
download
them
for
free
and
start
studying
the
virus.
Due
to
this
openness,
pharmaceutical
(制药的)
companies
across
the
globe
are
now
able
to
work
simultaneously
(同时地)
to
develop
a
vaccine.
“There
may
be
room
for
multiple
different
vaccines
for
different
purposes
and
different
age
groups,”
Amesh
Adalja,
a
senior
scholar
at
the
Johns
Hopkins
University
Center
for
Health
Security
in
the
US,
told
Al
Jazeera.
“The
bigger
menu
we
have
of
vaccines,
the
more
resilient
(有适应力的)
we’ll
be
against
coronavirus
outbreaks
in
the
future.”
Major
drug
companies
around
the
world
are
also
sharing
their
study
results.
Remdesivir,
a
drug
originally
developed
by
US
company
Gilead
Sciences
to
treat
Ebola,
is
found
to
be
promising
in
fighting
against
the
novel
coronavirus.
Currently,
two
trials
of
the
drug
are
already
underway
in
China,
and
the
results
might
be
available
as
soon
as
April,
according
to
The
Verge.
This
openness
in
science
is
going
to
be
even
more
crucial
(关键的)
in
the
future.
“With
climate
change,
increasing
globalization,
and
population
shifts,
epidemics
will
not
go
away,
and
might
even
become
more
frequent,”
Dan
Barouch,
a
Harvard
Medical
School
professor,
told
Harvard
Magazine.
He
said,
“No
one
group
can
do
everything.
It
has
to
be
a
coordinated
(合作的)
approach.
But
I
do
think
that
the
world
has
a
greater
sense
of
readiness
this
time
to
develop
knowledge,
drugs,
and
therapeutics
(疗法)
very
rapidly.”
Every
epidemic
is
indeed
a
crisis,
but
it
can
also
be
a
learning
opportunity.
One
redeeming
(补偿的)
factor
of
the
COVID-19
outbreak
is
that
it
is
helping
science
adapt
for
the
better.
1：What
does
the
article
mainly
talk
about?
A.
Coordinated
efforts
to
fight
the
epidemic.
B.
Something
positive
we’ve
learned
from
the
epidemic.
C.The
significance
of
openness
and
sharing
of
scientific
knowledge.
D.
What
needs
to
be
done
to
prevent
future
epidemics.
2：What
is
the
positive
effect
of
the
research
team
from
Fudan
University
placing
the
genetic
sequence
of
the
virus
onto
GenBank?
A.They
alerted
the
world
to
the
danger
of
the
virus.
B.
They
helped
remove
people’s
fear
of
the
virus.
C.They
showed
the
world
how
to
produce
a
vaccine.
D.They
invited
collective
efforts
worldwide
to
develop
a
vaccine.
3：What
is
the
author’s
purpose
of
mentioning
remdesivir
in
the
text?
A.To
introduce
a
possible
cure
for
the
epidemic.
B.
To
compare
the
treatment
of
Ebola
and
the
novel
coronavirus.
C.To
prove
that
many
drug
companies
readily
share
their
discoveries.
D.To
show
that
the
novel
coronavirus
will
soon
be
contained.
4：Which
of
the
following
would
Dan
Barouch
probably
disagree
with?
A.Epidemics
will
be
less
frequent
thanks
to
scientific
development.
B.
The
world
is
becoming
better
prepared
to
deal
with
epidemics.
C.No
single
group
can
fight
against
the
epidemics
independently.
D.The
increase
in
globalization
may
worsen
future
epidemics.

Passage
2：Clever
words
inspire
us
Feel
bored
staying
at
home?
So
does
the
virus.
If
you
stay
longer,
the
virus
will
be
bored
to
death.”
This
is
how
Zhang
Wenhong
asked
people
to
stay
indoors
during
the
outbreak.
Zhang
is
head
of
the
infectious
diseases
department
(感染科)
at
Huashan
Hospital
Affiliated
with
Fudan
University
in
Shanghai.
He
also
works
as
head
of
the
Shanghai
expert
team
that
treats
novel
coronavirus
pneumonia.
These
days,
Zhang
has
become
an
internet
celebrity
(网红)
due
to
his
funny
and
frank
(率直的)
way
of
talking.
He
first
caught
people’s
attention
in
late
January,
when
he
asked
the
members
of
the
Communist
Party
of
China
(共产党员)
in
his
department
to
go
to
the
frontline
hospitals.
His
reason
was
simple:
They
have
“vowed
(宣誓)
to
put
people’s
interests
first.”
His
straightforward
way
of
speaking
quickly
won
applause
(赞赏)
across
the
country.
Meanwhile,
as
a
Party
member
himself,
Zhang
set
an
example
by
checking
on
pneumonia
patients
every
day.
“I
do
it
in
person
because
I
need
to
encourage
other
colleagues
(同事),”
he
told
the
media.
Zhang
believes
in
the
traditional
Chinese
idea
that
“the
best
doctors
prevent
the
disease
(上医治未病)”.
That’s
why
he
tries
his
best
to
spread
scientific
knowledge
on
how
to
prevent
the
epidemic.
His
sense
of
humor
(幽默)
has
made
it
easier
for
the
knowledge
to
reach
the
public.
He
and
his
team
also
update
their
WeChat
account
every
day
with
timely
analyses
(分析)
of
the
epidemic
to
drive
away
public
worries.
One
of
his
articles
got
more
than
10
million
hits.
But
Zhang
might
not
care
about
his
sudden
fame
(名声).
When
asked
about
his
feelings
after
becoming
famous,
Zhang
told
the
media,
“Don’t
pay
attention
to
me.
Pay
attention
to
Wuhan.
I’m
not
a
celebrity.
I’m
a
doctor.”
Zhang
Wenhong’s
quotes
go
viral
online
“Everyone
is
a
soldier.
You’re
not
just
quarantining
(隔离)
yourself
at
home,
but
combating
(战斗)
the
virus.”
“You
are
not
a
doctor,
but
what
you
do
is
more
important
than
what
doctors
do.”
“When
you
speak
less,
your
thoughts
spring
(涌出).
Staying
indoors
will
bring
you
benefits
(好处).”
1：What
won
Zhang
Wenhong
sudden
fame
on
the
internet?
A.?His
medical
skills.
B.
His
way
of
speaking.
C.
His
personal
stories.
D.
His
special
treatments.
2：What
do
we
know
about
Zhang
Wenhong?
A.?He
is
not
a
CPC
member.
B.
He
put
people’s
interests
first.

way
of
speaking

some
people.

Passage
3：Surprise
volunteer
On
Feb
12,
Dalian
(not
his
real
name)
was
taking
a
train
to
Changsha,
Hunan,
for
a
business
trip.
While
on
the
train,
he
went
into
a
carriage
(车厢)
to
have
lunch
and
chose
to
remain
in
the
carriage.
He
did
not
realize
that
the
carriage
was
only
for
people
heading
to
Wuhan.
Several
hours
later,
when
the
train
arrived
in
Wuhan,
Dalian
was
asked
to
get
off,
as
he
was
in
the
special
carriage.
Although
he
was
surprised,
he
didn’t
want
to
cause
trouble
and
got
off
the
carriage
with
just
a
single
bag.
As
Wuhan
had
been
locked
down
because
of
the
epidemic,
Dalian
couldn’t
find
a
hotel
to
stay
in.
Feeling
at
a
loss,
he
saw
a
notice
online
looking
for
volunteers
to
work
in
hospitals.
The
payment
was
500
yuan
a
day.
Dalian
decided
to
give
it
a
try.
He
soon
became
a
volunteer
at
Wuhan
No
1
Hospital.
He
was
responsible
for
taking
out
trash,
mopping
(拖)
the
floor,
disinfecting
(消毒)
the
hospital,
dealing
with
used
protective
suits
and
bringing
meals
to
patients.
The
young
man,
reportedly
from
northeast
China,
had
to
work
12
hours
every
day,
changing
his
protective
suit
three
times
a
day.
While
working,
he
couldn’t
drink
anything
or
go
to
the
bathroom.
He
also
had
to
have
close
contact
with
infected
patients,
which
is
risky.
Dalian
was
afraid
of
getting
infected
at
first.
“When
I
entered
the
wards
(病房),
I
was
kind
of
frozen
(僵硬的)
and
felt
like
I
couldn’t
move,”
he
said.
But
after
seeing
more
patients
get
better,
his
fear
gradually
went
away.
Dalian’s
story
has
since
gone
viral
(走红的)
online.
People
were
surprised
by
his
experience,
but
also
described
him
as
having
“a
heart
of
gold”.
1.
Why
did
Dalian
have
to
get
off
in
Wuhan?
2.
What
made
Dalian
decide
to
work
at
a
hospital?
3.
What
did
Dalian’s
job
include？
4.
What
does
this
passage
try
to
tell
us?
5.
what
do
you
think
of
Dalian？
参考答案：
1：Because
he
was
in
the
wrong

Passage
4：Changing
the
way
of
greeting
Handshakes,
high
fives,
kisses
on
the
cheek,
hugging…
people
all
over
the
world
greet
each
other
in
different
ways
that
more
or
less
need
close
contact.
Because
of
the
novel
coronavirus
outbreak,
people
are
changing
how
they
greet
each
other
to
prevent
the
virus
from
spreading.
They
have
come
up
with
some
creative
ways
to
say
hello.
France
French
people
prefer
(更喜欢)
to
kiss
on
the
cheek
to
greet
each
other.
It
is
a
regular
(经常的)
greeting
for
them,
even
between
people
who
have
only
just
met.
They
shake
hands
at
work
as
a
formal
greeting.
As
kissing
and
handshaking
may
spread
the
virus,
French
lifestyle
expert
Philippe
Lichtfus
said
simply
looking
into
a
person’s
eyes
is
good
enough
as
a
greeting.
Australia
It’s
a
very
Australian
thing
to
put
your
hand
out
to
shake
hands.
However,
it’s
risky
at
this
time.
Brad
Hazzard,
the
New
South
Wales
health
minister,
advised
people
to
pat
(拍)
each
other
on
the
back.
“I
would
be
suggesting
to
the
community
...
it’s
time
that
Aussies
(澳大利亚人)
actually
gave
each
other
a
pat
on
the
back
for
the
time
being－no
handshaking,”
he
said.
Iran
In
Iran,
a
video
has
gone
viral
online.
It
shows
three
friends
meeting,
hands
in
their
pockets,
and
two
of
them
tapping
their
feet
against
each
other
as
a
greeting.
It
seems
to
be
a
good
way
to
replace
their
traditional
greetings
–
handshaking
and
hugging.
A
similar
video
in
Lebanon
(黎巴嫩)
shows
singer
RaghebAflama
and
comedian
(喜剧演员)
Michel
Abou
Sleiman
tapping
their
feet
against
each
other
while
making
kissing
noises
with
their
mouths.
UAE
A
nose-to-nose
greeting
is
popular
in
the
United
Arab
Emirates
(阿拉伯联合酋长国).
People
there
rub
(摩擦)
their
noses
together
upon
meeting
or
leaving
each
other’s
company.
Now
the
UAE’s
Health
and
Prevention
Ministry
is
advising
people
to
avoid
this
traditional
greeting.
It
also
said
that
people
shouldn’t
shake
hands,
kiss
or
hug.
Instead,
they
should
greet
each
other
“by
waving
(挥手)
only”.
Which
greetings
are
safest?
Athletes
often
give
high-fives
to
congratulate
each
other.
Now
the
NBA
suggests
players
replace
high-fives
with
fist
bumps
(碰拳).
Is
it
safer?
Scientists
at
Aberystwyth
University,
UK,
did
a
study
on
this
in
2014.
They
took
a
pair
of
rubber
(橡胶)
gloves,
dipped
(蘸)
one
in
a
kind
of
bacteria
(细菌)
and
then
performed
different
greetings
to
study
how
bacteria
transferred
(传播).
The
study
showed
that
fist
bumps
can
greatly
cut
down
on
the
transfer
of
bacteria.
A
handshake
transfers
10
times
as
many
bacteria
as
a
fist
bump
because
it
has
larger
area
of
contact
and
lasts
longer.?
