托福阅读材料：美国报纸报道上海死猪事件
2020秋高中语文新闻阅读与实践课后巩固练习：第五章第14课外国评论两篇含解析
2020秋高中语文人教版选修新闻阅读与实践课后巩固练习：第五章第14课外国评论两篇含解析第14课外国评论两篇小草，把绿色献给春天，使它的生命变得精彩.清泉，把它的甘醇流淌入干渴者的心田，使它的生命变得精彩.红日,把它的温暖传递到严寒的隆冬，使它的生命变得精彩。
花开不是为了凋谢，而是为了结果;结果也不是为了终结，而是为了新生。
生命亦是如此！美字体善气迎人亲如弟兄，恶气迎人害于戈兵。
赏美文生命的历程近年来，报纸经常刊载中小学生突遇一点挫折、打击，就选择终结生识，深入思考生存的价值，关注生命,珍爱生命，进而构建一个更健康、更完美的生命。
1．《车文明》一文写父母无情地将自己仅三岁的孩子丢在车来车往的高速公路上，来来往往的司机视而不见，无人施救，体现了亲情、良知的丧失和对生命的冷漠.［适用角度]“亲情”“良知"“生命”2．《我们一定是疯了》一文写了枪支滥用给美国社会带来的种种危害，呼吁社会慎用枪支、善待生命。
［适用角度］“理性”“善待生命"生命如歌艾明波我们，生活在这阳光地带,生活在这温暖的世界。
我知道：我们都是生命的使者也是生命的过客。
生命是一个过程，生命是岁月的一个章节，生命只属于我们一次，生命在给我们幸福时刻的同时也给了我们悲哀的时刻.生命不会给我们任何承诺，生命只给我们一次机会，那就是:创造与开拓或者是浑浑噩噩。
关键是看我们怎么去活着，怎么去把生命好好把握。
我们从另一个世界走来，迎接我们的或许是有太阳的白天或许是有月亮的黑夜.无论是白天还是黑夜，我们睁开眼睛就会感到人世间的温暖，我们都会在父母的怀中享受到一种博大的关怀和无与伦比的亲亲热热。
虽然，我们给这陌生的世界的第一个声音是哭声而不是音乐；虽然，我们是在母亲的痛苦中降临的，甚至是伴着母亲的泪水和鲜血。
但是,父辈们是幸福的。
因为，我们延续了他们的生命,我们是他们含泪的骄傲、是他们事业的承接。
于是，我们踏着父辈的足迹接近生命的另一个高度；于是,我们用他们所给予我们的力量，在他们没有走过的路途中走过.所以,从这个意义上说，生命又不仅仅是我们自己的,她盈满人间的热望也装满前辈的嘱托。

2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解五篇
2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解Passage 1 美国正积极研发新冠疫苗The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race to develop an effective coronavirus(新冠病毒) vaccine, Johns Hopkins University health policy and management professor Dr. Marty Makary told "Special Report" Wednesday. "There are 70 vaccines in different stages of development," said Makary, a Fox News contributor. "There are seven that are being given in patients right now. We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three."Makary added that the Chinese vaccines "are actually in further stages of development. Their drugs are in phase two or three, and it's a real race ...The country that gets there first will have a significant advantage because they will control the supply for the rest of the world and the risk is if we aren't there first, we could get locked out." The professor concluded that the search for a vaccine was "moving along," but added that "it will probably take a year" before such a treatment becomes widely available.Earlier Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious-disease expert and a member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, touted the drug remdesivir(瑞德西韦) for its "clear-cut significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery,” as reflected in new data. Makary said that while the National Institutes of Health study shows only a 31 percent reduction rate in recovery time, it could prove to be significant. "One thing to remember," Makary cautioned about remdesivir, "it's not a silver bullet. "It reduces the severity and probably increases recovery but also, this is an IV(静脉注射) medication, it's not something you can go to the pharmacy tonight and pick up." In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment, but Makary said it is likely to receive emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration "as early as this evening”.1 What does the underlined word “neck-and-neck” mean ?A work togetherB be friendsC at the equal levelD be enemies2 What is American’s challenge according to Makary’s statement ?A Use vaccines to save more people.B Give patients more vaccines for treatment.C Develop effective vaccines before China does.D Work with China to develop vaccines.3 What can we know about remdesivir ?A It can reduce the time to recovery.B People can’t purchase it easily in drug stores.4 Which would be the best title for this passage ?A The US is level with China in race for coronavirus vaccines.B Remdesivir can be the treatment for coronavirus vaccines.C Remdesivir need the regulatory approval.D Coronavirus vaccines should be developed soon.Passage 2 上海迪士尼恢复营业Shanghai Disneyland to reopen after shutting downMay 11 could be a very magical day for theme park lovers. As parts of the world start to reopen amid the coronavirus (新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病), many people are looking to see how businesses will return after closing down. It’s likely that theme park lovers will be interested to see how the Disney parks alter their practices in response to the outbreak. Shanghai Disneyland announced that it will be reopening to the public on Monday. The park closed its doors on Jan. 25 as part of China’s efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, the outbreak has become a pandemic and Disney parks across the world have also been limited and shut their doors.In a statement, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said: “We know how much our guests have been looking forward to returning to Shanghai Disneyland, and our cast is excited to begin welcoming them back. As the park reopens with significantly enhanced health and safety measures, our guests will find Shanghai Disneyland as magical and memorable as ever.”When the park reopens, guests will be required to purchase admission tickets valid for certain dates only. Also, annual pass holders will have to make reservations prior to arrival. The park will also control guest density(密度) in lines, restaurants, ride vehicles and other facilities. The park will also utilize temperature screening and require guests to wear masks in the park, except when eating.1 What does the underlined word “curb” mean in paragraph 1 ?A stopB encourageC controlD treat2 What can we learn form paragraph 1?A Shanghai Disneyland closed before the pandemic of the coronavirus.B Only Shanghai Disneyland shut its door during the pandemic.D China has curbed the spread of the coronavirus.3 What will happen when Shanghai Disneyland reopens ?A It won’t be as entertaining as before.B Those who bought ticket can visit it at any time.C Annual pass holders can visit the park freely.D Many measures will be used to enhance safety.Passage 3 纽约顶级厨师的工作困境Chefs from some of New York City’s top restaurants are leaving the business to work for billionaires after losing their jobs to the coronavirus (新冠病毒), the New York Post has learned.Out-of-work chefs from restaurants including Jean-Georges, Daniel, Eleven Madison Park, Per Se and Gramercy Tavern are being poached (挖走) by talent agents and even real estate brokers (房地产经纪人) to work for wealthy families since the coronavirus shutdowns have weakened the restaurant industry, sources said. The supply of quality chefs is so abundant that some wealthy people say they’re getting cold-called about the latest candidate. “I received a call out of the blue asking if we wanted to hire a top chef who had worked for Jean-Georges,” one billionaire real estate developer told the NYPost's Side Dish.For unemployed chefs, it’s often the only way for them to make money doing what they love at a time when sit-down dining is prohibited by the state lockdown. “I was laid off six weeks ago. It just wasn’t possible to stay, no matter how much the chef wanted to keep us. I can’t stand not working. I miss being in the kitchen,” said Ian Tenzer, a 29-year-old former sous chef(副厨) at three-star Michelin restaurant Eleven Madison Park, named the world’s best restaurant in 2017. “Working as a p rivate chef has always been a part of the industry I had thought about working in and, at this point in my career, it’s a good choice economically and professionally,” he added.Indeed, chefs who choose to work in private homes stand to get a 20 percent to 30 percent pay raise, as well as other perks (补贴) including better hours, sources said. Sous chefs at top restaurants can earn between $120,000 and $200,000 a year working full-time for a family, compared to closer to $100,000 working at a restaurant. One drawback is that you never know what kind of family you’ll get, chefs said. Some families are “lovely, adventurous and curious,” but others can be quite the opposite. They can be rude and “even physically and verbally abusive. I have heard horror stories,” said one chef who asked to remain1 Which is true about Chefs in New York city ?A Some of famous chefs are leaving the business to work in private homes.B Wealthy families invited chefs to work for them.C Chefs are being poached because billionaires need them.D Top chefs are rare in New York city.2 Which of the following can describe the underlined phrase “out of the blue” ?A from the skyB all of a suddenC in the morningD from a friend3 What can we know form paragraph 3 ?A Ian Tenzer was out of work because the chef didn’t need him.B There still many jobs for Ian Tenzer to do.C Ian Tenzer hadn’t considered working for private families.D Being a private chef can be economically helpful to Ian Tenzer.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Being a private chef can earn more.B Unemployed chefs are being personal cooks.C Chefs from New York City’s top restaurantsD Out-of-work chefs from top restaurantsPassage 4 为隔离患者捐赠iPadNo man is an island. But for the coronavirus (新冠病毒) patients in hospitals, they die alone – physically separated from the friends and family who love them. This cruel reality weighs heavily on a group of New York City volunteers whose mission is to actually connect patients with family members unable to be present due to hospital restrictions on visitors. Their solution: to collect used iPads from across the country and donate them to hospitals in underserved (缺医少药的) communities where the need is most serious. "It’s a heartbreaking scene," Nicolas Heller, a 31-year-old documentarian, said of the thousands of people who have died from the disease in isolation, without the comforting words or touch from a loved one. "A lot of these people are dying prematurely, whether they had medical issues or not. It’s crushing." said Heller, who is part of iPads to Hospitals, an organization – founded by two medical students, Amy Johnson and Jeff Arace –that is collecting used iPads for patients who do not own smartphones capable of video chatting.equipment, such as masks and gloves. The tablet computers can allow medical staff to communicate with patients from outside of the room, decreasing their risk of exposure to the virus.As of Friday morning, the group said it has received 375 used iPads from donors nationwide and raised more than $22,000 through its GoFundMe page to purchase more devices. So far, 50 of the iPads have been donated to Brooklyn’s COVID-only site, University Hospital of Brooklyn at SUNY Downstate, whose staff expressed the critical impact the devices can have on patients and also healthcare workers."The lifeblood of what we’re doing is making use of people’s iPads that are in their drawers and on their desks that they don’t use anymore," said Ian Kaplan, a film director from Brooklyn. "I’ve ha d every make and model of iPad ever made in my hands in the last week," said 29-year-old Kaplan. "With the exception of the first model, which doesn’t have a camera, we can make use of any iPad. However, we are nowhere near meeting the demand of every hospital that we speak with.”1 Why do volunteers collect used iPads ?A To make better use of iPads.B To collect and sell them to patients.C To enable patients to contact with their family.D To equip underserved communities.2 What can we know according to paragraph 2 ?A Heller is one of iPads to Hospitals’s founders.B Hospital staff can use iPads to contact with their family.C These iPads can be beneficial to medical workers.D These iPads can protect hospital staff from the virus.3 What can we infer from the statement of Ian Kaplan ?A People donated iPads because they wanted to buy new ones.B Every make and model of iPad can be used in hospitals.C Those iPads in his hands are all with cameras.D There is still a lot of iPads needed to meet the demand.4 What is the main idea of this passage ?A Patients in hospitals are physically separated.B Group collects used iPads to connect patients with family.C How was iPads to Hospitals founded by two medical students.D How to collect iPads for hospitals.Passage 5 澳大利亚森林大火The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia's capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze Sunday and air quality at midday was measured at 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. The early and damaging start to Australia’s summ er wildfires, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (毁灭性的) for the country's wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told the Sydney Morning Herald.Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight the flames that have burned millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the rural fire service (RFS) said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, 64 of them uncontrolled.On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists (后备军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire-fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, a day after thousands were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.1 What does the underlined phrase “fed by” mean ?A get food from someoneB be strengthened by somethingC be destroyed by somethingD under control of something2 Why were there thunderstorms and tornadoes ?A Because the fires generated thunderstorms and tornadoes.B Because there was rainy weather.C Because the fires generated enough heat to create extreme weather.D Because the weather systems is easy to change.3 What can we learn form the last paragraph ?A Many soldiers will fight against the fires as they have done before.B Fires were controlled due to cooler temperatures and lighter winds.C A lot of people moved out of the suburban areas.D Damage to property and wildlife is limited.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Australia's destructive wildfiresB Soldiers fought against the firesC Wildlife died form the firesD Australia’s wildfires was under control1. C.根据第一段中，The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race todevelop an effective coronavirus vaccine中的race一词，及最后一句We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three. 可知，美国和中国目前处于同样的疫苗研发阶段，正在比赛哪国先研制出有效的新冠病毒疫苗。
环境问题案例分析
黄浦江死猪问题的一些看法刘斌 201131141611 经济管理学院 11经济学2班中国环境的现状不容乐观：中国环境问题在中国这30年的快速经济发展下已经愈加严重。
中国环境问题日益恶化，在近些年尤其凸现出来。
沙尘暴、污浊的空气、年年爆发的蓝藻、暴雪洪涝灾害等极端天气的频繁发生，都已经让公众和政府不得不正视中国环境日益恶化的问题。
世界观察研究所发布的《世界状况报告》中指出：中国面临着一些世界上最严峻的环境挑战，具体表现为：世界上污染最严重的20个城市里，中国占了16个，同时大约有300个中国城市面临严重的水资源短缺问题。
中国的385个物种被列为濒危物种。
中国温室气体（GHG）排放量在过去的十年中迅速增长。
中国目前是世界上最大的温室气体排放国之一。
据估算，在2006年燃烧化石燃料和制造水泥造成了62亿吨的二氧化碳排放。
中国的空气质量对大众健康构成极大威胁。
据估计，中国每年死于呼吸道感染的人多达40万，这其中，空气污染是致病的直接原因。
“我们的奋斗目标是：让人民群众喝上干净的水、呼吸清新的空气，有更好的工作和生活环境。
”——国务院总理温家宝《政府工作报告》，2005年3月5日。
中国人最大一个梦不仅仅是实现中华民族的伟大复兴，而是呼吸新鲜空气，喝清淨的水，吃天然的食物。
这个要求，在“旧中国”本来是乞丐的要求;但在中国特色社会主义制度下，今天的中国已经很难找到什么乾淨土了。
现在有一个萦绕世界的环境问题又发生在中国，上海黄浦江松江段近日出现大量死猪漂浮于水面，上海官方称从死猪尸体中检测出猪圆环病毒。
据悉,这些死猪来源于上游浙江嘉兴等县，当地仅在1月份病死猪达1万多头，一些村民将猪的尸体乱扔江里，导致死猪飘浮到上海的黄浦江。
据《新民网》报导，上海黄浦江上游从3月初开始出现死猪漂浮现象，横潦泾河段、松江、金山水域均发现大量死猪尸体，乳猪和几百斤的大猪都有，打捞出死猪尸体目前已达6千多头。
发生这个事件的原因其实也很简单：大批猪死，不是冻死，而是工业化大规模养猪，养殖密度太大，病毒杀死猪抗生素都不顶用，流向餐桌的渠道被拥堵，收购死猪被禁止，村里即便死猪收集站，但不少养猪大户为图方便及节省成本，就往河里一扔了之，因为扔死猪入水不容易被发现，而且成本较低。

托福阅读材料：美国报纸报道上海死猪事件
Here's a riddle for you: When is the discovery of 2,813 dead and rotting pigs in a major city's water source not a public health problem?
给你出个谜语：一个大型城市的水源在什么情况下发现2813头腐烂的死猪不算是一个公共卫生问题?
Answer: When the discovery is made in China.
答案：当在中国发现的时候。
The Shanghai water bureau, which oversees the water consumed in China's largest city, was insisting on Monday that tap water derived from the Huangpu River met national standards despite the presence of the decomposing pigs.
负责监管这座中国最大城市用水的上海水务局在周一坚称，尽管出现大量腐败的死猪，来自黄浦江的自来水水质仍然符合国家标准。
All I can say is that I am glad I live in Beijing, not Shanghai.
我所能说的是，我很高兴自己住在北京，而不是上海。
Truly disgusting photographs of bloated porcine carcasses on a riverbank have appeared in many Chinese papers and websites, drawing attention to what seems –believe it or not – to be a relatively common occurrence.
中国许多家报纸和网站都刊登了令人极其恶心的发胀死猪尸体照片，让大众注意到这似乎是一种比较普遍的现象，不论你信不信。
When pigs die of disease, farmers who cannot be bothered to bury the animals just toss them into the nearest river.
如果猪死于疾病，农民们都懒得掩埋，而是直接扔到最近的河里。
Local residents of one pig-rearing village upstream from Shanghai told the national broadcaster China Central Television on Sunday that disposing of dead pigs in the river was a common practice. "After the pigs died of illness, [they] just dumped them in the river … constantly. Every day," one villager said.
来自上海上游地区的一个养猪村的本地村民在周日接受中国中央电视台采访时说，将死猪丢到河里是一种常见做法。
一位村民说，“猪病死后，他们直接将死猪扔到河里……每日不断。
”
"They are everywhere and they smell very bad," the villager added.
这位村民补充道：“到处都是死猪，味道非常难闻。
”
Thousands of pigs in the Shanghai area have succumbed to epidemic disease in recent months, according to the Jiaxing Daily, a government-run paper in a hog-raising region southwest of Shanghai.
据位于上海西南肉猪饲养区政府运营的一份报纸《嘉兴日报》报道，最近几个月，上海地区有数千头猪死于流行疾病。
Last week the paper reported that more than 18,000 pigs had died since the beginning of the year in Zhulin, a village in the Jiaxing district. It was not immediately clear how many of them had been legally disposed of and how many had been thrown into the river.
上周，《嘉兴日报》报道称，自今年年初以来，嘉兴竹林村已经有超过1.8万头猪死亡。
目前尚不清楚有多少人已被依法处置，有多少被扔进河里。
But in a report last week, the paper quoted one pig farmer as saying that "when things are busy," he and his fellow farmers do not bother to call the local veterinary services to take the corpses away and just "throw them away where we can." In the summer, he added, the smell of rotting meat is sometimes so strong that villagers cannot open their windows.
在上周的一篇报道中，该报援引一位猪农的话说，“如果工作很忙，他和他的农友不会费事打电话给当地兽医服务部门运走尸体，我们能扔哪里就扔哪里。
在夏天，腐肉的气味有时候非常强烈，以至于村民无法打开窗户。
”
More worryingly, the paper said, many readers had called the editorial desk's hotline to report pig carcasses abandoned by the roadside or in water channels that had mysteriously lost their hind legs overnight.
该报称，更令人担忧的是，许多读者打进编辑部热线，报告死猪尸体被遗弃在路边或水道，而猪腿却一夜之间神秘失踪。
"What if they were cooked in a restaurant?" the newspaper article wondered.
该报纸发文质疑说，“如果它们出现在餐厅里呢?”。
