China builds new hospital in10days to combat coronavirus中国速度，火神山医院和雷神山医院建成记The Chinese philosopher(哲学家)Confucius once said,“Time flows away like the water in the river.”This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China,and the whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.In late January when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected,and hospitals didn’t have adequate beds for them,two special hospitals –Leishenshan Hospital and Huoshenshan Hospital–were built.These two makeshift(临时的)hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.Huoshenshan Hospital has1,000beds and covers 33,900square meters,and Leishenshan Hospital has1,500beds and a total area of about79,000square meters.More than4,000workers worked24/7in two shifts,and nearly1,000large-scalepieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on-site.The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time.It only took10days for people to build Huoshenshan,and14days for lions of Chinese people watched livestreamed(直播)videos of the construction.This certainly wowed many people overseas.“It’s incredible that two hospitals with2,500beds can be built in a short period.It’s just hard to believe,”a foreigner named Stuart told People’s Daily.“This project shows us that China is a great nation with solidarity(团结),”a Chinese internet user commented on Sina Weibo.In the meantime,Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.According to China Daily,some Chinese companies which have nothing to do with medical supplies have changed their factories to churn out masks,the most-needed“weapon”for the public’s defense.Local automobile maker BYD,for example,started producing masks on Feb8 and launched them on Feb17.The first batch(一批)of these masks was donated to drivers of public buses,taxis as well as volunteers fighting the viral outbreak.“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing,purchasing materials,production lines and output of technologies,”Shi Jianhua,deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers,told CCTV News.“In this special time,when the nation needs more masks,it’s time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”Indeed,a fast response is crucial(重要的)in any crisis.In this special time, China can’t afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic.After all,time equals life during this crisis.（选自Newyork Times）1.The project of the two makeshift hospitals amazed the world because of ________.A.the high cost of completing themB.the efficiency in which they were builtC.The support they received from home and abroadD.the livestreamed videos used to track their construction2.What does the underlined phrase“churn out”in Paragraph7probably mean?A.collect a large amount of somethingB.save something for future useC.produce large amounts of something quicklyD.sell something at a low price3.What is the author’s intention of introducing the automobile industry in the text?A.To inform us of its advanced technologies.B.To explain what it can do to help fight the virus.C.To show that it should have contributed more to the fight.D.To prove that different industries have united to fight the virus.译文：中国哲学家孔子曾经说过：“时间像河里的水一样流逝。

--2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解四篇-3(附详答)
2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解四篇Passage 1 疫情使“食物银行”面临危机Skyrocketing unemployment due to the coronavirus(新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病) has been forcing a growing number of Americans to turn to charitable services for assistance as food insecurity among families with children grows. New York City Mission Society(NYCMS) has been serving the city’s most underserved(缺少关爱的) children since 1812. Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children it serves and delivering them during the pandemic.“I can't tell you how desperately these food baskets are needed...In the New York tri-state area, we have a very serious situation because so many residents live at or below the pover ty level,” Shafiroff, a member of NYCMS, told Fox News. “The food bank across the area are very helpful...but the supply and the demand are not working the way they should right now. There is massive demand all over the country --39 million Americans out o f work, and this translates into no food on the table.”Shafiroff noted that a major issue during the pandemic has been getting food to the food banks, especially amid the shutdown of multiple meat processing plants across the country. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration(食品药品管理局) has even temporarily loosened its food labeling policies during the coronavirus pandemic and give producers more flexibility amid food shortages.According to a Brookings analysis, almost 35 percent of households with children said they did not have sufficient food, that's 14 percent higher than during the recession. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Shafiroff is encouraging those who can afford it to make donations to their local food bank. “I know my husband and I recently donated 10,000 meals to Heart of the Hamptons, which is a food bank in the Hamptons, because we feel so strongly about providing food and being part of th e solution,” said Shafiroff. "And of course, 10,000 meals really doesn't mean much when you look at a country with 39 million people out of work, but if we all work tog ether, I believe we can solve this problem.”1 What did New York City Mission Society do to the children ?A Helped children grow happily.B Treated children with coronavirus.C Provided children with food.D Gave children baskets of books.2 What did government do to solve food shortages ?A Gave more food to food banks and Americans who were out of work.B Relaxed policies to enable food production more flexible.C Issued policies to meet the food demand.D Helped Americans to find jobs amid pandemic.3 What does Shafiroff appeal people to do in last paragraph ?A To make donations if people have food or money.B Create more job chances for people.C Work together to fight against the pandemic.D Look after people who are suffering the virus.Passage 2 疫情中的“拥抱帘”创意Sometimes you just want a hug from your grandma. A little girl from Riverside, Calif., wanted to hug her grandparents, but couldn’t because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the family members to keep their distance from each other. Getting creative, 10-year-old Paige created a “hug curtain” using a shower curtain, plastic bags, disposable plates and a hot glue gun. Mom Lindsay Okray, who works as a nurse, supervised the set-up. On Facebook, the proud mom praised about Paige’s idea, which was then set up outside of the grandparents’ front door at home.“Paige saw a video of someone who made this type of ‘blanket’ to hug their family. She put together a list and she designed it so she could hug nana and papa.. this girl is so amazing, and w e were so happy to be able to hug them!!” Lindsay wrote on Facebook, along with photos and video of the girl using the “hug curtain.”In the photos and video of the curtain, the grandparents are seen taking turns giving Paige big hugs. “It might be wet from the Lysol(杀菌剂) wipe,” Lindsay can be heard off-camera saying, once the grandparents open the door. “Oh my God, I love you,” Grandma says, while excitedly embracing her granddaughter. “How cool is this?” she adds. Those on Facebook were equally pleased wi th the creation and praised Paige’s design. “God bless you sweetie. You are a wonderful granddaughter. And very smart,” one person commented. “So cute,” another wrote.“So great!” one person commented, while another simply wrote “Awesome!”Though the “hug” curtain is a sweet gesture, make sure you continue to protect yourself and others from the novel coronavirus by practicing proper hygiene(卫生) like washing your hands, wearing a face mask outside, and maintaining a safe social distancing of 6 feet from others, per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.1 Why did Paige create the “hug curtain” ?A To make use of extra plastic bags.B To give her grandparents hugs.C To post photos and videos on Facebook.D To show her creative talent.2 What is true about the “hug curtain” ?A It was firstly created by Paige.B It was made by Paige’s mother.C It was supposed to be worn.D It was partly made of plastic bags.3 What is the attitude of people on Facebook toward the “hug curtain”?A ComplimentaryB WorriedC UnconcernedD Annoyed4 What is the purpose of the last paragraph ?A Praise the hug curtain one more time.B Remind people to take protective measures.C Show people how to protect themselves.D Tell people how to fight against coronavirus.Passage 3 机器翻译比人工翻译好吗？For me, it was bacon. There I was, standing in the streets of Medellin, Colombia, looking hungrily at a delicious empanada(肉馅卷饼). The sign read 'queso y tocino'. Because I knew some essential Spanish vocabulary, I knew that 'queso' was cheese. But 'tocino'? I typed it into my smartphone translation app. What came back? 'Tocino'. I later learned that means 'bacon' in the local language. Computer-assisted translation is popular. Google Translate, for example, is used by more than 500 million people. But while convenient and easy to use, they are hardly perfect. Now, dropping the odd expression now and again is hardly important on an informal conversational level –as might happen to a tourist on holiday. But in more formal circumstances, such as a medical or legal discussion, the wrong expression can be disastrous. So, can a computer translator ever equal a human?The technology has come a long way. These days, people can wear a 'translation earpiece'. These pick up the foreign terms and translate it directly to the wearer. Andrew Ochoa, chief executive of US start-up Waverly Labs, a producer of one such earpiece, says they work by 'combining a network of algorithms(演算) and speech-recognition technology'. But they have limitations. Firstly, there's a delay while the phrase is translated. How long often depends on the connection strength. Secondly, they aren't able to communicate human emotion well. Human conversation is more sensitive than just the words used. It has tone, attitude, for example. "If you want to create a relationship…you need a human translator to make it sound natural," Zoey Cooper, brand and content director at Wordbank, a global marketing and translation agency, told the BBC.So, while many professional translators do use computer-assisted translation tools to help them with the repetitive nature of translation, context is important. It might work well for a survey or instruction manual, but for important human-to-human speech, and for the time being at least, better to use a translator, or your message might get mistaken or lost in translation.1 What did the author want to buy in Colombia?A some baconB a cheese hamburgerC a cheese and bacon empanadaD a smartphone2 When can a computer-assisted translation error be a big problem?A When a tourist is visiting.B When two doctors are having discussionC When two kids are having fun.D When we are reading a foreign magazine.3 How do translation earpieces work?A They calculate and recognize speech.B They search on the internet.C Humans do the translations behind them.D They translate by using smartphones.4 What are the disadvantages of translation earpieces?A They will show the results at once.B They are quite expensive.C They don’t need high technology.D They can’t express feelings.Passage 4 残疾女孩的创业路When Liu Yanzhi was a teenager, she would secretly apply her mother's lipstick and go out onto the streets in her wheelchair with her younger sister. However, many passersby gave her contemptuous looks, saying that it was silly for a disabled person to wear makeup. Her sister was often embarrassed and asked Liu not to do it. "I was quite angry," said Liu, who has been unable to walk since she contracted a fever when she was 8 months old. "Which law says disabled women can't wear makeup? Every woman has the right to pursue beauty. Wearing makeup makes women like me confident."At age 25, Liu－then a single mother with a baby daughter－used an interest-free loan arranged by the local government to open a beauty salon in her home county in Anhui province. Now, the 31-year-old owns a factory that produces her own brand of cosmetics. Her success did not come easy, though. In 2009, Liu took the gaokao, the annual college entry exam, and won a place at a vocational school(职业学校) in Hefei, Anhui's capital. After touring the campus, she declined the offer. Without her parents, the lack of accessiblefacilities would make her journey between the dormitory and teaching building an real challenge every day. "I lay in bed for three days thinking about what I should do," Liu said. "I dared not cry, because I could see how heartbroken my mother was." Instead, she sold ice cream, tended jewelry stalls and distributed leaflets. Whenever possible, she spoke with other retailers, looking for ways to achieve financial independence. Then, she worked in a local beauty salon for a couple of years. She earned a low wage, but discovered her career, learning massage techniques and how to apply makeup. She also became a qualified beautician and dietitian.In 2012, she obtained a 50,000 yuan ($7,000) loan, rented a street-front shop and opened a beauty salon. In the first two years, the salon lost money. Liu's mother asked her to give up, but she brushed concerns aside and traveled around the country to attend training sessions run by noted beauticians.1 What does the underlined word “contemptuous” probably mean in paragraph 1 ?A admirableB not caringC confusedD not respectful2 Why did Liu declined the offer of a vocational school ?A Because the journey to Anhui’s capital was long and hard.B Because her parents told her to refuse the offer.C Because the daily life on campus was challenging to her.D Because she thought the study was full of challenges.3 How can you describe Liu according to paragraph 3 ?A optimistic and hard-workingB considerate and beautifulC fortunate and strongD clever and thoughtful4 What will be talked about in the following paragraph ?A Liu traveled around the country.B Liu finally made it after training.C Liu went back to school for study.D Liu closed her beauty salon.passage 1 答案：1. C. 根据第一段最后一句，Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children itserves and delivering them during the pandemic，最近，它一直在儿童制作食品和公用设施篮子，并在疫情期间运送这些篮子。

WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases. Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it. “We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,”said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.阅读短文内容，选择最佳选项。

The Dutch boy mop ping up a sea of plastic荷兰男子制造“海洋吸尘器”清理海洋塑料垃圾“When I was 16 years old, I was scuba diving (水肺潜水) in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, 25, an engineer who designed the world’s first ocean plastic cleanup system.Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. Every day, plastic items, fishing equipment, and ship parts are dump ed (倾倒) into the seas. These can take up to 500 years to decompose (分解) .If left alone, sea animals become entangled (缠绕的) in them and can even die if the plastics are ingest ed (摄入). Worse, humans can be affected when these plastics break down. “Smaller pieces enter the food chain, and that’s a food chainthat includes us humans,” Slat said.In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this grim (令人沮丧的) reality, Slat created The Ocean Cleanup, an environmental NGO, in 2013 and put his plan for an ocean plastic cleanup device (设备) into action.After years of research and development in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastic on Oct 2, 2019.The device uses a 600-meter-long “C” shaped tube to gather all the floating debris (垃圾). Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device.A sea anchor (锚) is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt (挡板) attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.In a news conference, Slat said, “In a few years we will have the full-scale fleet (舰队) out there.”Currently, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is three times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in fiveyears.It remains to be seen if this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused.“We are starting to see a young generation that gets that and is excited about a sustainable (可持续的) future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?” Slat said.（节选自Telegraph）1.

2020全国高考英语汇编阅读之新闻报告类类一（2020大纲卷）BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment （环境）. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Ande rson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the mov ement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.

2020高考英语时事热点拓展阅读(四)(含答案)“停课不停学”：2020高考英语时事热点拓展阅读(四) Passage1妙哉！大学生首创文言文编程。
词数 310 建议阅读时间 5分钟World's First Classical Chinese Programming LanguageAlthough programming languages vary informs and rules, the keywords used for almost all ofthem are in English.The International Data Corporation (IDC)estimates however that nearly half of the world’s22.3 million software developers come from theAsia-Pacific region.China and India alone account for about onethird of the world’s total developer p opulation.In an attempt to add some diversity to the range of available programming languages, Carnegie Mellon University computer science major Lingdong Huang has developed ‘Wenyan-Lang,’ a programming language based on Chinese hanzi characters and the wenyan classical Chinese grammar system.Huang did not simply replace the English characters with Chinese hanzi, instead he applied NLP techniques to convert (转变) classical Chinese grammar to JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.He has open sourced the wenyan-lang project on GitHub, where it received a staggering (令人难以相信的)11,900 stars in a week or so.A fan of classic Chinese literature, Huang came up with the idea of programming in Chinese in order to shed light on the beauty of wenyan and to inherit (继承) the historical imprint left by generations of eminent (非凡的) figures in Chinese history.But most importantly, Huang believes the goal of communication is to go beyond the limits of language: “My project still has a lot of room for improvement, but my desire for co mmunication is as strong as some of the historical figures.”Huang says programming punctuation and line breaks can be removed without affecting the output.Considering the difficulty converting between classical Chinese and other programming languages, he has provided a “cheat sheet” with tips and conversion rules.Huang has also included a renderer that can display the program in a manner that resembles (像)pages from ancient books and can parse the resultant SVG file back to the original program.The Wenyan-Lan project is available on GitHub.

词数 370 建议阅读时间 6分钟Shirt senses sepsisSepsis (败血症) is a toxic (中毒的)condition resulting from the spread ofinfection, which causes 270,000 deaths ayear in the US, according to the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention.While scientists and doctors havebeen trying to improve the situation, a group of students at Spanish River High in Florida, US, have invented a piece of wearable technology to monitor sepsis in hospital patients.The idea for the project came from their biotechnology teacher, Mary Fish, whose father died from sepsis while in the hospital. “This got me thinking. I want to help the patients with sepsis with a tunic (短上衣) – something the patient could wear that would monitor the symptoms of sepsis,” Fish said. Along with their teacher, the students are currently developing “the sensors (感应器) for the detection of sepsis for the continuous monitoring of a patient,” explained Eesha Shah, a team member.Their challenges also include finding a fabric (布料) that is both comfortable and conductive, and figuring out how to detect sepsis symptoms in a safer way. However, the biggest challenge is that the students cannot test it on humans. “We are not lab-certified (授予实验许可的),” said Brayant Polanco, 16, another team member. So the group is tasked with inventing an artificial system on which to test it.All of the 22 students have a deep passion for science. Lauren Bishop, 17, hopes to study biomedical engineering in co llege. “This experience will greatly help since it’s truly what biomedical engineering is, an application of the problem-solvingtechniques of engineering to medicine. Getting this kind of research opportunity in high school will help me for future researc h projects at the university level,” she said.Senior Daniella Bard, 18, is in awe of (惊叹) her team’s efforts. “If everyone on the team weren’t so committed, this would be near impossible to come true.” Like the rest of the team members, she values the leadership of the teacher who worked tirelessly and brought them all together. “Ms Fish is always looking to help us, and we really appreciate that. I am proud of my team and excited to see the result presented next June,” Bard said.1. What are the students doing to help with sepsis?A. They are creating sensors to help patients detect sepsis symptoms.B. They are designing a system to monitor sepsis patients remotely.C. They are inventing a new medicine to cure sepsis.D. They are working with biotechnology experts to improve current treatments.2. What is the biggest challenge the students faced?A. Making sure the artificial system is safe.B. Finding a suitable fabric for the research.C. Lack of financial support.D. No chances to test it on humans.3. What can we learn from Bard’s words?A. She is grateful for the team’s joint efforts.B. She believes that she could have contributed more to the project.C. She has improved her leadership skills from the experience.D. She is inspired to further study biomedical engineering. Passage3The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population (族群) had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago, the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow, a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t put either one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”1.What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.3,500 black bears were killed in Florida.B.The wolf can’t be killed in Switzerland.C.The serow is protected in China.D.Three old Chinese men’s loss was made up for.2.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?A.Protecting animals needs hard work.B.Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.C.Zhou had a good relationship with local people.D.Protecting animals can bring economic development.3.Which of the following might Robert May agree with?A.Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.B.We should pay more attention to the future than the present.C.We should consider both the environmental and human interests.D.It’s easy to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.4.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Protecting animals or killing themB.Protecting animalsC.Killing some dangerous animalsD.Difficulties in protecting animals Passage4完形填空Ring!
