Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike. The 45-year-old was a beloved community figure. But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung, he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier. A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly, against Philippine tradition, and all eight people who lived with him were put under a 14-day quarantine(隔离)in their crowded home. Yet when Anthony Cortez, the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine, arrived to check on the Fernandez family, none of them expressed anger. Instead, faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly. Cortez, the only community doctor in Bambang, has overseen their medical care for years. They trust him, and he makes them laugh. The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor. When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever, the 56-year-old, in a surgical mask, face shield, and rubber gloves, showed "air fives" instead. For the 56 000 people living in Bambang, Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder. When the first coronavirus(冠状病毒)case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, the town's response fell to Cortez. He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that, if necessary, would go beyond national restrictions. Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang. Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing. Using information from the town's 25 villages, he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries, and placed them under strict home quarantine. Anyone with symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty. "It is safer to assume that everybody is positive," he explained. 【1】What is Cortez' reaction to the death of Francisco Fernandez? A.Expressing his sympathy. B.Drowning himself into mourn. C.Showing professional sensitivity. D.Following the tradition. 【2】On what basis does Cortez take strict measures to protect Bambang? A.Its geographic character. B.Its lack of medical staff. C.Its large population. D.The demand of the nation. 【3】What can be inferred about the contact tracing system by Cortez? A.It is totally a waste of effort. B.It is complained about by local people. C.It is praised by higher authorities. D.It is effective as a protective means. 【4】Where is this text most likely from? A.A diary. B.A novel. C.A magazine. D.A biography. |

The eastern Siberian landscape is not normally like hell. In winter it is blanketed in snow:in summer, its forests are lush(苍翠繁茂的). This year, however, the region is on fire, as are large parts of the Arctic Circle. The fires began in June, caused by an extremely hot and dry early summer. It was the hottest June on record globally. In the regions that are burning, temperatures peaked at 8-10℃ warmer than the average from 1981 to 2010. This has dried out the landscape, producing tinder(易燃物)for natural forest fires. So far, hundreds of above-ground fires have been recorded by satellites in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. It is estimated that fires within the Arctic Circle have produced more than 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. That is a lot. But burnt vegetation can regrow within a decade, and in doing so reabsorbs much of the released carbon dioxide. It is what is happening below ground that most worries ecologists and climate scientists. Global warming will melt Arctic permafrost(永久冻土), releasing large amounts of stored greenhouse gases. But if fires in the region become more common, that could have even bigger consequences. Wildfires will release much faster and bigger amounts of carbon, rather than melting permafrost. The fires also produce black carbon which, if dropped on the Arctic sea ice by favourable winds, will darken its surface, making it more likely to absorb sunlight and melt. This decreases the reflectivity of the region and further increases Arctic warming. Smog from the fires is blanketing much of Siberia. "What is scary about the Arctic fires is that they are driven by climate change, and there's very little you can do," says Thomas Smith. Few natural fires this big have ever been successfully managed. The only way to deal with the spread of these fires is to slow the rate of global warming. Don't hold your breath. 【1】What do we know about the wild fires in the Arctic Circle? A.They are common yearly phenomena. B.They come earlier than usual this year. C.They result from extreme weather. D.They destroy Siberian landscape. 【2】What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Hundreds of above-ground fires. B.100m tonnes of carbon dioxide. C.Burnt plant life within a decade. D.Satellite distribution in the Arctic. 【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A.The causes of fires. B.The consequences of fires. C.The working principles of global warming. D.The characteristics of Arctic warming. 【4】Which word best describes the author's attitude toward the Arctic fires? A.Objective. B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic. D.Worried. |

MIT researchers have developed a way to incorporate(融入)electronic sensors into fabrics, allowing them to create shirts or other garments that could be used to monitor vital signs such as temperature and heart rate. The sensor-embedded garments can be customized to fit close to the body of the person wearing them. "We can have electronic parts or lab-made electronics embedded within the textiles that we wear every day, creating comfortable garments," says Dagdeviren, an professor at MIT. His group set out to create garments more similar to the clothes we normally wear, using a fabric that has removable electronic sensors in it. "In our case, the textile is not electrically functional. It's just a passive element of our garment so that you can wear the devices comfortably during your daily activities," Dagdeviren says. "Our main goal was to measure the physical activity of the body all from the same body part, without requiring any fixture or any tape." The electronic sensors consist of long flexible strips(细条). These channels have small openings that allow the sensors to be exposed to the skin. For this study, the researchers designed a shirt with 30 temperature sensors and an accelerometer that can measure the wearer's movement, heart rate, and breathing rate. The garment can then transmit(传输)this data wirelessly to a smartphone. This kind of sensing could be useful for personalized telemedicine, allowing doctors to remotely monitor patients. "You don't need to go to the doctor or do a video call," Dagdeviren says. "Through this kind of data collection, I think doctors can make better assessments and help their patients in a better way." Last summer, several of the researchers spent time at a factory in Shenzhen, China, to experiment with mass-producing the material used for the garments. “From the outside it looks like a normal T-shirt, but from the inside, you can see the electronic parts which are touching your skin,” Dagdeviren says. 【1】Why do MIT researchers make sensor-embedded garments? A.To create garments with medical functions. B.To satisfy customers' personal need for fashion. C.To complete their academic tasks. D.To transform patents for benefits. 【2】What is the main function of the electronic sensors? A.Monitoring wearers' behavior. B.Making the skin fully exposed. C.Adjusting wearers' body temperature. D.Collecting and transmitting health information. 【3】What do the researchers expect of the garments in the future? A.They will bring convenience to patients. B.They could be in mass-production soon. C.They might lead the new fashion. D.They may take the place of doctors. 【4】What can we infer about wearing a sensor-embedded garment according to Dagdeviren? A.It's fashionable. B.It's skin-friendly. C.It's eco-friendly. D.It's awkward. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 One never knows what one is going to find when one steps out into the world. Even something as simple as a walk through your neighborhood can result in either mild excitement or unusual adventure if the cards are right. On a sunny afternoon, Mike journeyed into the construction site near his home. Suddenly, he heard something coming from around the side of a nearby building. It sounded like the whining(悲嚎声)cries of an animal. He curiously turned the corner, only to see a small dog standing on its back legs and wagging its tail pitifully. He then noticed that the poor thing seemed to be stuck at the waist between a small concrete wall and an even smaller broken wooden fence. The poor animal's difficult situation was pretty obvious and Mike knew that if he did nothing and left the dog there, it might not survive. He had no idea how long the animal had been there up until that point. It might not have eaten or drunk anything in days. Determined to help, he looked around to find a stick, proceeded to climb up onto the cement slab and pointed his stick back at the clog. He was trying to pry(撬动)above the animal by insert the stick between the cement wall and the smaller, broken wall, but the terrified animal obviously didn't know his intention and attempted to bite at the tool and barked at him fearfully. The fright in its eyes said everything. After at least a minute or so of trying to free the dog, Mike found his plan much more difficult in practice than it had stayed inside his own head. The hot sun was beating down. Drops of sweat running down his face, Mike sat clown on the ground and scratched his head with annoyance, thinking about what in the world his next move was going to be. Beside him, the dog curled up into a ball, whining miserably. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then Mike went around to the other side of the wall and grabbed hold of the stick. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Eventually, with the few well-positioned pieces of wood, Mike managed to insert his stick in the right way. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
