What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural power or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠狀病毒肺炎), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.
So far, a total of 32, 000 medical staff outside Hubei Province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎縮側(cè)索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life, ” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.
With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.
When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.
“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home, ” she told China Daily.
US writer Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) once wrote, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.
Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes.
4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain what makes a modern-day hero.
B. To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.
C. To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.
D. To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating NCP patients.
5. What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?
A. His illness has turned him into an impatient man.
B. His illness makes him work without fear.
C. He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.
D. He wants to help as many patients as possible.
6. Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?
A. She is too busy and has no time for video chats.
B. She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.
C. It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.
D. There is no WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
7. The underlined word “manifestations” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “____”.
A. results B. differences
C. indications D. advantages
C
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients and enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化現(xiàn)象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.
In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.
“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places—the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they’re looking for a place to settle, ” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.
By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we’re seeing on many coral reefs around the world, ” said lead author, Tim Gordon.
8. What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?
A. Diverse species.
B. Noise pollution.
C. Fishing industry.
D. Climbing temperatures.
9. What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?
A. Removing damaged coral reefs.
B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.
C. Building new homes for sea species.
D. Playing certain sounds to attract fish.
10. Why are Steve Simpson’s words quoted?
A. To provide some findings of the study.
B. To show the progress of the experiment.
C. To explain reasons for the new approach.
D. To give another solution to the problem.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The attempts are in vain.
B. Natural recovery is impossible.
C. Initial success has been achieved.
D. The coral reefs have returned to normal.
D
As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well-organized and growing “fitness” market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?
Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there’s widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works. Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary(久坐的) and out-of-shape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy(壽命) in the US dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modern people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry.
How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one’s body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry, no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise.
So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?
12. What does the author tell us about fitness industry in Paragraph 2?
A. It provides better technology.
B. It is supported by most people.
C. It brings about positive effects.
D. It costs people too much money.
13. What is main reason why people fail to do physical exercise?
A. Lack of enough equipment.
B. Lack of inner drive.
C. Misguided instructions.
D. Embarrassing living conditions.
14. What does the author seem to agree with?
A. Change attitudes to fitness.
B. Rely on standard practice.
C. Seek more potential customers.
D. Turn to more advanced programs.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Lost in fitness
B. Misunderstanding about fitness
C. Evolution of fitness
D. Importance of fitness

Is Society Too Dependent on Technology?
Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? 16 Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.
Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense. If you happen to work in offices, you may be familiar with this trend. 17 Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices.
Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on Sunday or playing with friends is no longer there. 18 Technology has taken all their time.
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for Technology Detox. 19 If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc, as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.
Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 20 Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.
A. Perhaps you may have heard of it.
B. We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.
C. If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day.
D. Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers.
E. If thinking about these incidents makes you stressed, you are not alone.
F. Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.
G. Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone.

One day, when I was a first-year student in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kris. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd (書(shū)呆子).”
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a gang of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “They are bad guys! They really should be punished. ”He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before, but we talked all the way home, and I carried his books.

Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there’s widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works. Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary(久坐的) and out-of-shape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy(壽命) in the US dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modern people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry.
How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one’s body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry, no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise.
So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?
12. What does the author tell us about fitness industry in Paragraph 2?
A. It provides better technology.
B. It is supported by most people.
C. It brings about positive effects.
D. It costs people too much money.
13. What is main reason why people fail to do physical exercise?
A. Lack of enough equipment.
B. Lack of inner drive.
C. Misguided instructions.
D. Embarrassing living conditions.
14. What does the author seem to agree with?
A. Change attitudes to fitness.
B. Rely on standard practice.
C. Seek more potential customers.
D. Turn to more advanced programs.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Lost in fitness
B. Misunderstanding about fitness
C. Evolution of fitness
D. Importance of fitness

Is Society Too Dependent on Technology?
Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? 16 Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.
Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense. If you happen to work in offices, you may be familiar with this trend. 17 Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices.
Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on Sunday or playing with friends is no longer there. 18 Technology has taken all their time.
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for Technology Detox. 19 If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc, as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.
Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 20 Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.
A. Perhaps you may have heard of it.
B. We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.
C. If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day.
D. Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers.
E. If thinking about these incidents makes you stressed, you are not alone.
F. Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.
G. Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone.

18. G 上一句提到“那些看卡通片和與朋友玩耍的活動(dòng)已經(jīng)不存在了”, G項(xiàng)“現(xiàn)如今, 大多數(shù)小孩待在室內(nèi)玩電腦游戲或者玩智能手機(jī)”承接上文。

One day, when I was a first-year student in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kris. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd (書(shū)呆子).”
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a gang of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “They are bad guys! They really should be punished. ”He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before, but we talked all the way home, and I carried his books.
注意:1. 續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。

He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. At first, he didn’t fit in. He, however, volunteered to play basketball with us, and gradually made many friends. Since then, we had often played together. All of my friends thought he was great. Besides, he was hard-working and willing to help others, which changed my view of private students. He studied very hard and become the top student of our class. When I had difficulty in studying, he always offered to help me.
We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kris, the more I liked him. One day we hung out as usual. Feeling tired we sat in a bar to have a rest and have some drink. Suddenly he stared at me and said, “Actually, I have been considering to tell you something. Do you still remember the day you met me? ” “Yes, of course!” I answered. “Actually, the first time I met you I was planning to end my life, for I lost my beloved parents. It was your kindness that saved me. You made me know that life is meaningful with friends around, ”he continued. Hearing this, I felt touched, bursting into tears.“I also thought it was my fortune to meet you and be friends with you, and you helped me a lot too. I believe our friendship would last forever. ”“Yes, you are right. We are sure to be friends all our life.”We both smiled.
