A few months later, he was back in the hospital. His temperature rose quickly with all the symptoms of meningitis(脑膜炎症状). Michael didn't 36this young patient's side.

At the same time, Zhong, 84,went on a trip to Wuhan to fight against the disease.Many Chinese consider Dr. Zhong as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. People share his pictures and words online, saying they “believe every word Dr. Zhong says ”. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning this fight.Zhong grew up in a family of doctors. His goal has always been to save as many lives as possible.In 2003,when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients.After months of hard work, his treatment plan for SARS was used by China and the whole world. It saved thousands of lives.Seventeen years, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to deal with the novel corona virus.Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to old people, Zhong worries little about his own safety. On Jan 18,he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to tell the public that the virus can go from person to person. On Jan 29, he and his team spent over four hours online checking five patients. The next day, he chose a treatment plan and began to develop a rapid test kit(试剂盒).As Zhong once said, “The hospitals are our battlefield. When we are needed, we should charge forward. People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a doctor, courage as a soldier, and a sense duty as a the backbone（脊梁）of our nation（）45.Zhong can give Chinese people confidence because __________.A. he was a hero in the fight against SARS.B.

I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.Then when my crop produced its fruit, the birds found it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crops, hoping they would make the birds afraid and fly away, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.With my new grain (谷物) to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to dry two ugly pots (容器)--- one for rice and one for wheat.Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread.I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I still decided to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.When it was time to set off, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of work.I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.----Taken from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe ( ) 48.

I managed to turn over the ships boat.B. I spent months bringing the boat to the nearest stream.C. I tried to solve the problems with my courage and wisdom.D. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.CWhen everyone in China is wearing masks to stop the novel corona virus. many people in Western countries don’t seem to want to do the same. For example，an Italian lawmaker was criticized (批评) by his coworkers when he went to work with a mask. They said he was “causing Panic”. But why do the East and West have different ideas about wearing masks? Let’s take a look:Western ideas about masks:In the West,people should wear masks only when they get sick- chronic allergies(慢性过敏) or infectious(传染的) diseases，for example. People see masks as a tool(工具) to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading. So healthy people don’t need to wear them. Therefore,during the novel corona virus outbreak，people would be “stared(町着看) at like a virus spreader”if they go out with a masks.Some European and American people say wearing a mask outdoors makes them feel “worried”，“shy”，and “afraid of being looked at differently.”But as the number of COVID-19 cases is growing around the world,people in the West are changing their ideas. In the US, for example,many healthy people are starting to wear masks now to protect themselves.Mask culture in the East:In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common.In 1910,Chinese doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague(肺鼠疫). Since then masks have become a symbol of China’s position as a modern，scientific nation according to Scottish medical anthropologist(人类学家) Christos Lynteris. During the 2003 SARS epidemic, people in China and East Asia also used masks to protect themselves.In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories(配饰). They have different colors and patterns to choose to match their clothes. Some young women wear masks when they don’t have their makeup(化妆)on. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their racy(隐私). This cultural and historical background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks when epidemics break out.( ) 51. What did the coworkers think of the Italian lawmaker?A. He was too worried to work.B. He made other people nervous.C. He was unwilling to go to workD. He was just trying to protect himself( ) 52.In the past, people in the West wore masks when______________.A. they themselves were sick.B. they were talking to doctors.C. they were shy or worried.D. they went outdoors( ) 53. From the story, we know that_______________.A .healthy people in the West will never wear masks.B wearing masks is the best way to protect ourselves.C. we can use masks in many different ways.D. masks are not useful during a serious epidemic.DDepression(抑郁症)is a serious problem today. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”. Depression hits one person in five around the world.Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies shows that depression among everyone.Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world’s population will be suffering from a serious depression．A recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of teenage health to investigate the relationship between media(传媒) use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and a half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount (总量）of media use.The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describethemselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to take part in religious services and to be volunteers.( )54. The writing purpose of this passage is _________.A. to introduce a long-term surveyB. to describe the signs of depressionC. to discover the possible causes of depression.D. to tell stories about a widespread, costly and deadly illness( )55. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “investigate”?A. buildB. breakC. balanceD. Explore( )56. What can we learn about depression?A. Only rich and educated people may suffer from depression.B. Depression hits 20 percent of people around the world.C. Teenagers are more likely to develop depression.D. It is a common illness that can be cured easily.( )57. What can we infer from the passage?A. Social activities may lead to depression.B. Watching TV may increase the risk of developing depression.C. Teenagers should play more video games instead of watching TV.D. Compared to young men, young women are more likely to develop depression.第II卷（客观题共40分）五、词汇运用(本大题共8分，每小题1分)（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
