21、Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control

l Keep distance with people when talking

The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before falling to the ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.

l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected

Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.

l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous

Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.

l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus

The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.

l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus

Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.

l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer

It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.

After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.

22、   After a Blockbuster store in Australia closes on March 31, the American city of Bend, Oregon will have the only one left on Earth.

For years, Blockbuster was a big name in the video rental business. The company had thousands of stores in the United States and around the world. But Blockbuster began to lose money during the 2000s. By 2014, all company-owned stores had closed. Since then, locally owned Blockbusters have closed, one by one.

Operating the last Blockbuster Video on Earth is not easy. The computer system uses old disks that only the store’s general manager knows how to use. The video rentals are recorded on a kind of aging tape. The tape cannot be replaced because Radio Shack, another once famous store, went out of business.

Sandi Harding has worked at the Blockbuster in Bend for over 15 years and is the store’s general manager. She says “stubbornness” is part of the reason the store is still open. “We did everything we could to cut costs and keep ourselves relevant,” she said.

Zeke Kamm lives in Bend. He is making a documentary about the store with his friend. He notes that many people who rented videos over the years want to share memories of their experiences Kamm explained how Blockbuste were once an important part of small town in America. The Blockbuster was the only place that was open past nine at night, and a lot of them stayed open much later.

Recently, Harding has noticed that more children are coming to the store, brought in by their parents who like remembering the past. Jerry Gilless and his wife, Elizabeth, on a trip to Oregon, recently brought their two children, aged 3 and 5, to the store in Bend. They watched with a smile as their children walked from row to row, looking at movies. “How could we not stop? It’s the last one,” said Gilless. “They need to see that not everything’s on the iPad.”

【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The popularity of the video rental business. B.The special computer system of the last store.

C.The value of the last Blockbuster on Earth. D.The difficulties of running the last Blockbuster.

【2】Why is the Blockbuster store in Bend still open?

A.It has a long history in all Blockbuster stores. B.Its employees try their best to keep it running

C.Its general manager is very stubborn woman. D.It is a place where people can watch old movies.

【3】What is the documentary of Zeke Kamm probably about?

A.People’s experiences of sharing their own memories.

B.Zeke Kamm’s work with his friend in the Blockbuster.

C.People’s memories of renting videos in the Blockbuster.

D.Blockbusters’important role in a small town of America.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.Oregon Will Have the Last Blockbuster on Earth B.Different Opinions About the Last Blockbuster

C.People Are Interested in the Last Blockbuster D.A Documentary About the Last Blockbuster

23、Animal leather alternatives like PVC leather may have solved the fashion industry’s animal cruelty problem, but they are not the most environmentally friendly solutions. Piñatex——a new leather——like material made from pineapple leaves——on the other hand, may just be the all-around eco-leather we’ve all been waiting for.

Piñatex is the invention of Dr. Carmen Hijosa and her modern materials company, Ananas Anam. While working as a consultant to the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines in the 1990s, she discovered the character of pineapple leaf fibers and devoted her life to creating sustainable alternatives to leather. After years of research, Ananas Anam has finally come up with what it believes is an alternative to animal leather——Piñatex. It recently showcased (展示) the different uses of Piñatex during a presentation held at the Royal College of Art in London, where designers displayed various clothing items and decorative items made entirely from the material.

Piñatex is made from bonded fibers that are taken out from pineapple leaves by farmers before they are cut up. These fibers go through an industrial process to make Piñatex. The materials can then be coloured, printed and treated to give it different thicknesses and types of patterns, including leather. The remaining substances created by production can be returned to the farmers to be used as fertilizer on their farms.

Piñatex is still in development, and Dr. Hijosa admits that it will take some time before it becomes market ready. To continue her research and hopefully turn Piñatex into a commercially sustainable alternative to animal leather, Dr. Hijosa is currently trying to secure more funding for Ananas Anam, of which she is the majority owner. She is also looking into other possible uses for Piñatex, including anti-bacterial wound bandages, as the material would allow air to circulate to an injury.

【1】What can we know about “Piñatex” from the passage?

A．It has less impact on environment.

B．It is mostly made from animal leather.

C．It can replace all the fashionable materials.

D．It can solve the problem of animal extinction.

【2】What did the presentation at the Royal College of Art show about Piñatex?

A．A series of problems.

B．A new kind of feature.

C．A variety of functions.

D．A tiny amount of fibers.

【3】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Process of making Piñatex.

B．Methods of applying Piñatex.

C．Advantages of using Piñatex.

D．Reasons for creating Piñatex.

【4】Why does Dr. Hijosa raise funding for Ananas Anam?

A．To make Piñatex well-known soon.

B．To keep the research going smoothly.

C．To explore another scientific research.

D．To become the majority owner of firm.

24、Now Hear This

What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common? Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.

Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.

"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says a physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.

What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.

The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather. "I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "

Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "

【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that .

A. loud music is a major cause of hearing loss

B. famous people tend to have hearing problems

C. teenagers should stay away from school bands

D. the problem of hearing damage is widely known

【2】In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "recondition" means   .

A. not to be seen

B. to fill with sound

C. to become larger in size

D. to make good again

【3】The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show   .

A. a list of harmful sounds

B. the effect of rock concerts

C. the noise levels of familiar sounds

D. relationship between daily activities and hearing loss

【4】Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree?

A. When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead.

B. Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.

C. Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.

D. Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

“Yeah, maybe.” I knew the chance was low, but I chose to hope.

26、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。

Light a lamp and we can warm a heart. Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others and cursed his own misfortune. Having stayed in the city for years, he thought he accomplished nothing.

One day, he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave it immediately. So, his family moved to another city, which he thought would bring good fortune to him. However, it was not easy for people to move to another place, for they had to handle quantities of stuffs and encounter many strangers. The whole family reached there in the evening of a weekend, with their clothes almost wet. It was a tough rainy night. The wind was howling dreadfully and the rain was pouring from the heaven, beating against the branches of lined trees on the road. The world was swallowed with a sea of darkness. Tired and wet, they didn’t have time to have supper. Terry and his wife were busily tidying up their new home when the light suddenly went out. Worse still, the sudden darkness scared his children to cry immediately. Terry’s wife hurried to hug them to ease their tension. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a low mood.

Just then, he heard heavy but hesitant knocks on his door that could be clearly heard in the thundering night. Instantly, all the family were totally silent, for they were all curious about the knocks. “Who’s it?” Terry asked, since they were newcomers to this city there must be nobody who knew them. Tired and busy, he especially hated to be disturbed at the moment, so he dragged his legs slowly to the door and opened it impatiently. Actually, Terry didn’t realize his negative behavior would have a bad effect on his children at all! Outside the window, the wind and the thundering ruled the world entirely in their power.
