Scientists are not alone in the fight against the novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), as new technologies and innovative(创新的)products are giving them a hand. Here are some examples.

Big data（大数据）

Our smartphones send data to telecom companies around the clock, telling these companies where we have been and where we are going. Chinese telecom companies provide governments with this data.They use the data to track(迫踪) traffic flows among different provinces and cities. By tracking how many people are coming and going out of Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, telecom companies can send warnings to areas that are being visited by large numbers of people from Wuhan.

Drones

Drones(无人机) have played a major role in disinfection(消毒)and preventing cross-infection(交叉感染)in crowded places like hospitals,railway stations and airports.

Police officers use drones to give warnings.For example,if people gather in large groups or do not wear masks,drones with cameras can record and send images of these people in real time to control rooms.The drones will then warn these people.

Robots

Robots are good helpers on the frontlines.They are used at hospitals to offer medical advice,deliver drugs or meals, act like guides,perform disinfection, measure patients'body temperatures and do other repetitive work.In this way, robots can not only help greatly reduce the burden for medical workers,but also reduce the risk of cross-infection.They have also been used in public places like train stations and

airports to check temperatures.

23．According to the second paragraph,what is the right order of the followings?

Washington is home to lots of trees---it is the Evergreen State, after all--- and it has lots of fireplaces and wood-burning heaters too. But what if you lived there and couldn't cut wood or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it?Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, are happy to help.The three men cut truckloads of wood-then give it to those in

need.

The idea actually started as a father-son relationship project, Shane told https://www.360docs.net/doc/ef4782186.html,. "I cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it,"said Shane.He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer cutting. The result was a great wall of wood piled up(堆积) around their house. To buy that much it would cost about $10.000.

It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November,Shane started thinking of others. He posted online:"IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM [personal message] ME!...If you know someone who BURNS WOOD,please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, The response(反应) was immediate.One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove.Others raced over to Shane's house with more wood.One woman,noticing the photo of the McDaniels,started to feel warm in other ways:"I don't need the wood.But I am truly happy for what you have done!"

Single mom Katelyn Ticer,29,and her four-year-old daughter depended on a wood-burning

stove as their only way of heat,so it was so good to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels."To get that much wood brought me to tears."she told https://www.360docs.net/doc/ef4782186.html,."So much stress and worry is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful."

Shane is ready to help more people."Giving is the reward", he said."It has nothing to do with how well it's received; it's about how much it's needed."

26．What did Shane and his sons do to help their neighbours?

A．They gave firewood to those in need. B．They bought wood-burning stoves.

C．They raised about 10,000 dollars. D．They paid someone to cut wood. 27．What happened after Shane posted messages online?

A．His family received lots of presents. B．Some people quickly offered to help.

C．Lots of wood piled up around their house.D．The weather suddenly turned freezing cold. 28．What did Shane think of what he had done to help others?

A．Being needed drives us to give. B．Love is not giving but receiving.

C．Helping others is just helping ourselves. D．It's better to help people fish than to give them fish.

You have tried too hard but you don't succeed;you've made all your efforts but you don't get the results you want.What should you do? Give up and turn over a new page.Drop it like it's hot,and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.

Do you feel surprised? What is wrong with giving up?Oh yes, we all have been trained and

asked to work hard to achieve our dreams,and that is a good thing.The problem comes out when all these inspirational quotes(励志名言)start confusing us.

These messages tell people not to give up,but they don't tell you that it should only apply to(适用于)your true dreams. They tell people to"try and try again"until they succeed,but that amount of effort should only be put toward what people really want in life and they should never give up no matter what life goals they have.The rest is all just there to confuse you,distract(使分

心)you, give you a headache and sadness, so don't let it happen.

If you are really not good at something,give it up and try to do something you like.Once you do something you like,you won't feel bored and also won't give it up.You know clearly what you want even the road to success is hard.So you need to know what you're good at.To find your talent,you need to observe(观察) the things around you and write down the things you're interested in on your notebook.Then you can search them on the Internet and know more about them.Asking your parents or friends for help is also a good idea because they can see something you can't.They can help you know yourself clearly.

Try to discover your talent,your ability and your skills.Find out what you are good at,what makes you happy and then work on it.If you do,no one would have to tell you or inspire you not to give up because when you love something, you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from within.Don't worry about what people will say or think.It's your life, so you have to love it and be your own boss.

29．Inspirational quotes are suitable for those who .

A．are successful B．have no life goals

C．have true dreams D．never give up

30．Once you find something you like,you won't .

A．achieve your dreams B．feel bored or give up

C．know yourself clearly D．continue it

31．Why can you ask your parents for help to find your talent?

A．They can see something you can't. B．They are good at everything.

C．They are older than you. D．They know how to help you. 32．The underlined word"enthusiasm"in the passage means .

A．Happiness B．Curiosity C．Ability D．warmth

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected

Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean（北冰洋）. Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves(海浪）in the arctic waters.

The waves were discovered by accident in May,2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.

On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen.Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice.

"We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks(裂缝)around," he remembers.

He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went,he thought,the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves,and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.

Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation (所行) system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour: Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast.The waves in these areas used to be small.

The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming.That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them.Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.

Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters,As waves break up ice,the seas will become more open,and the waves will get even stronger.There are stormy times ahead.

53．When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters?

54．Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip?

55．Would you like to be a member of Marchenko's team?If you want to take part,what will you do next?

Dear Li Ming,

I'm happy to hear from you. My life has also changed in many ways since the outbreak of COVID-19.

When the winter holiday was over, we were not allowed to go to school. Instead, we carried on with our study online. I liked to learn in this way because I could listen to my teachers more clearly. Moreover, I could manage my spare time more wisely.

Many other changes took place in my daily life as well. I would rather stay at home than go out because of the safety problem. If I had to go out, I must wear masks.

I got used to these changes quickly. However, I missed my teachers and classmates so much and would like to talk to them face to face. That’s why I’m not pleased with these changes. Best wishes，

Su Hua
