An AIDS (艾滋病)understanding program in Yunnan was started six years ago.It was held by the Chinese Red Cross.The program is a great way of making sure that people learn the facts about HIV/AIDS.It is so successful that it is running in several other provinces now.

The program not only provides care and support for the people who carry HIV/ADIS virus(病毒),but also trains young people to teach others about HIV/ADIS.In the program,the volunteers hold two﹣day classes to teach people about the virus and its links(相关)to drug use and sexual practices.They also work with students,drug(毒品)users and people who may be at risk of becoming infected(感染)by the virus.

The organizers of the program said that people knew about HIV/ADIS and how it was spread after taking part in it.HIV/ADIS was found mainly among drug users and those who had become infected through careless blood transfusion(输血)practices.Today,the number of young people becoming infected through sexual activity is increasing,so it is important to deal with this big problem.

The Chinese government predicts that unless action is taken right now,as many as 10million people could be infected with HIV/ADIS in China in the next nine years.

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However,some viruses,for example,the coronavirus,are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases,like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur,and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple,safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses,mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work,telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like,and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile,B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different,but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine,the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them,it will try to kill them.The question is:without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them?That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe,it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine,the viruses are weakened,but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them,so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective,but there is a worry:what might happen once these viruses wake up?

Therefore,although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19,it can be better.

(1)The coronavirus can    .

A.

not be killed

B.

not be found

C.

cause deaths

D.

stop pandemic

(2)Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?    

A.

Vaccination can provide us with B cells.

B.

Vaccines are made from different viruses.

C.

Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.

D.

Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

(3)Compared to the inactivated vaccine,the live﹣attenuated vaccine    .

A.

needs taking more than once

B.

is equally safe

C.

contains viruses that are killed

D.

is more effective

(4)What can we learn from the passage?    

A.

Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.

B.

The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.

C.

The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.

D.

180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

   Since May 8, Boston Dynamics, doglike robot, Spot, has been in use at BishanAng Mo Kio Park in Singapore to help encourage social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情) according to a report in the South China Morning Post.

    Singpore’s government is funding the experiment of the robotic dog, which will last for two weeks at the park during offpeak(非高峰的) hours.

    "The robot isn’t enforcing (强制 ). It’s just giving people information and encouraging them, "Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert told CNBC. "When Spot is patrolling(巡逻)the area, there’s a parks officer nearby who can do whatever enforcement he decides is suitable. "

    Cameras fixed on Spot will scan the surroundings and help officers work out the number of visitors in the park, but they cannot read faces and won’t collect any personal information. It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast a prerecorded message to remind visitors of the importance of social distancing.

    Without enough manpower, Singapore is turning to robotics to reduce the manpower required for park patrols and remind people about the risks they may be putting themselves and others in.

    The question, however, is whether their use of Spot will be a good tool or will or only attract more people to it instead.

    If the twoweek experiment proves successful, the government will consider using Spot at the park during peak hours. Singapore will also do studies to see if it’s worth using other Spots in other parks. Already, Singapore engineers are trying to improve Spot, making it tell if people are together in a group or strangers passing on the grass.

    No one knows if Spot will stay after the pandemic is gone, but one thing is for sure: the robot is the hardest working dog in the world.

(1)Why is Spot used at BishanAng Mo Kio Park?  

A. To draw visitors, attention to it.

B. To help encourage social distancing.

C. To read and record visitors, faces.

D. To help collect private information.

(2)The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refers to(指的是)  

A. visitors

B. strangers

C. cameras

D. officers

(3)What can we learn from the last 3 paragraphs?  

A. The experiment is still in progress.

B. The use of Spot proves to be a good tool.

C. Spot will stay after the pandemic is over.

D. Singapore will no longer need other Spot robots.

(4)According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?  

A. Spot scares people into keeping a distance in public.

B. Spot patrols the park for two weeks during peak hours.

C. Spot can tell people together in a group from strangers passing by.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.How the terracotta army was colored.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?    

A.Archeologists.

B.Artists.

C.Researchers.

D.Soldier.

(3)Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?    

A.The soldiers should stay in their present,brown color.

B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.

C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.

D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.

Have you ever imagined the life in space?The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

• Eating in space

   If you go camping for more than a week with some friends,you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip,you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

   Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms,such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water,such as cheese.Of course,an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges,so space food must be kept properly.

• Sleeping in space

   After a long day at work,nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth,in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time,then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep,they have to attachthemselves,so they don't float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱).Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally,astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

• Doing sports in space

   Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩).Usually,astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed,so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

   Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun,too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

(1)The writer starts to explain eating in space by    .

Are you short﹣sighted? If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage(按摩), take medicine or even get surgery(手术). People who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure short sight.

    However, you will no longer see advertisements like this before long. The government has issued a notice to ban(禁止) businesses from using words like "recovery" or "short sight cure" in

their advertisements.

    The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medical technology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.

    Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.

    More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018. Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices.
