Why are some people better able to fight off the flu than others? Part of the answer, according to a new study, is related to the first flu strain we encounter in childhood. Scientists from UCLA and the University of Arizona have found that people’s ability to fight off the flu virus is determined not only by the subtypes of flu they have had throughout their lives, but also by the sequence（顺序）in which they have been infected by those viruses. Their study was published in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. The research offers an explanation for why some people become much worse than others when infected with the same strain of the flu virus. In addition, UCLA scientists, including Professor James Lloyd-Smith, who was also a senior author of the PLoS Pathogens research, recently completed a study that analyzed travel-related screening for the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒）2019-nCoV. The researchers reported that screening travelers is not very effective for the 2019 coronavirus —that it will catch less than half of infected travelers, on average —and that most infected travelers are undetectable, meaning that they have no symptoms yet, and are unaware that they have been exposed. So stopping the spread of the virus is not simply a matter of enhancing screening methods at airports and other travel centers. “This puts the onus(责任，负担) on government officials and public health officials to follow up with travelers after they arrive, to isolate them and trace their contacts if they get sick later,” said Lloyd-Smith, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. “Many governments have started to impose quarantines（隔离）, or even travel bans, as they realize that screening is not sufficient to stop the spread of the coronavirus.” One major concern, Lloyd-Smith said, is that other countries, especially developing nations, lack the infrastructure and resources for those measures, and are therefore vulnerable to importing the disease. “Much of the public health world is very concerned about the virus being introduced into Africa or India, where large populations exist that do not have access to advanced medical care,” he said. 【1】What is the significance of the scientists’research? A.It explains the cause of the flu virus. B.It reduces the risk of people being infected. C.It analyzes people’s ability to fight off the virus. D.It stops the spread of the flu virus all around the world. 【2】What do we know about the novel coronavirus from paragraph 3? A.Travelers are at high risk of being exposed to it. B.It is more difficult to stop its spread than expected. C.Most travelers infected with it are detected by screening. D.It spreads especially quickly at airports and railway stations. 【3】Why does the writer mention Lloyd-Smith’s words in paragraph 4? A.To persuade people not to travel. B.To provide a method to kill the virus. C.To show the harmful effects of the virus. D.To stress the responsibilities of officials. 【4】Which of the following best explains the underlined word“vulnerable”in the last paragraph? A.weak B.impossible. C.responsible. D.indifferent. |

The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art.In May of that year in Berlin,the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’“century cameras”-cameras with a 100-year-long exposure time-will be retrieved from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited.Six months after that,the Future Library in Oslo,Norway,will open its doors for the first time,presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees in the distant past of 2014. As Katie Paterson,the creator of the Future Library,puts it:“Future Library is an artwork for future generations.”These projects,more than a century in the making,are part of a new way of“slow art”intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes.They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers,forcing people into considering works more deliberately.In their way,too,they are fighting against modern culture-not just regarding money but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention. In a similar fashion,every April on Slow Art Day,visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time-a tough ask for the average museum visitor,who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art. Like the Future Library,the century cameras are very much a project for cities,since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest.“Since I started living in a city,I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,”Anne Beate Hovind,the Future Library project manager,who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth,told The Atlantic magazine. Works like Future Library and the century cameras raise all sorts of questions.Will any of the cameras survive?Will any of Future Library works be any good?What will future generations make of century art,and will they see it as the gift that it’s intended to be?More specifically,for those of us struggling with“a crisis of attention”,the question seems to be:How can we adopt this attitude now,in everyday life?When we struggle to look up from our mobile phones,how can we look beyond the present moment and think broadly and generously across time? 【1】What will happen in May 2114 in Berlin according to the article? A.A camera produced 100 years ago will be exhibited. B.The Future Library will open its doors for the first time. C.Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited. D.Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed in the city. 【2】What does the underlined word“retrieved”in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.brought back B.put away C.replaced D.repaired 【3】We can learn from the article that the wave of slow art_______. A.started in the late 20th century in Germany B.is pushing people to spend more money on works of art C.aims to promote modern culture D.encourages people to pay more attention to works of art 【4】What can be concluded from the article? A.People living in urban areas are likely to feel more connected to the outside world. B.Katie Paterson is very optimistic about the survival of the century cameras. C.Anne Beate Hovind believes the Future Library will be a perfect solution to the current crisis of people paying attention. D.There remain a lot of doubts about works like the Future Library and the century cameras. |

Here’s an awkward confession(承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to _______ my emotions.

Cities such as Tokyo and Shanghai 【1】(consider) “mega-cities”, because【2】their big size and huge populations.There are two main reasons why cities are becoming so crowded. First, the primary cause of cities【3】 (become) so crowded is economic. As a country develops, its cities become the engines of development, thus jobs are available in these areas. For example, Tokyo was the motor for Japan’s economic boom in the 1960’s and 70’s; as 【4】result, its population increased【5】 (rapid). People moved to Tokyo because they could find employment there.
