28、16th-century work Epifania is one of only two existing cartoons by the Italian master. It is going through delicate and highly technical conservation (保护）work at the British Museum in an attempt to stabilize the fragile work for the coming decades.

“Michelangelo was one of the great draughtsmen of the 16th century. He worked into his 80s, but left only 600 drawings behind—an astonishingly small number given his long career,”said Emma Turner, a senior conservator (管理员）at the British Museum. “He is known to have burned some of his drawings in his studio before his death because he didn’t want to reveal his working methods. He was very clear that what he wanted to remain was the idea. ”

The cartoon was in Michelangelo’s studio at the time of his death. It remained in Italy until the late 18th century, and then travelled to England, the Netherlands and back to England. It was acquired by the British Museum in 1895.

The conservation work began in 2018, but was interrupted by the Covid pandemic. It must be completed by May 2024, when the drawing of the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child and other male figures will go back on display as part of the museum’s permanent collection. The work is funded by the Bank of America’s art conservation project, which supports museums and institutions to protect historically or culturally significant works.

“It was incredibly exciting to be working on a rare, complex and very large object with a 500-year history”, Turner said.

【1】Why did Epifania need to be protected?

A．It is a cartoon.

B．It is from Itally.

C．It is cultural relic.

D．It is expensive.

【2】What does the underlined word “draughtsmen” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Artists.

B．Writers.

C．Scientists.

D．Educators.

【3】When might the work Epifania be exhibited again?

A．In 1795.

B．In 1895.

C．In 2018.

D．In 2024.

【4】What does Turner think of working on the object with a 500-year history?

C．Unreasonable.

D．Worried.

29、World Health Organization (WHO) chief scientist Soumya Swami Nathan said Monday that herd immunity (群体免疫) to coronavirus would not be achieved in 2021, despite the growing availability of vaccines (疫苗产量).

Factors that cannot realize herd immunity include limited access to vaccines in developing countries, skepticism (质疑) over vaccination, and the potential for virus mutations, according to health experts.

A growing number of countries around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany and other European Union countries, are in the first stages of mass-vaccination campaigns.

Herd immunity occurs when enough people in a population have immunity to an infection so that it prevents the disease from spreading.

“We are not going to achieve any levels of population immunity or herd immunity in 2021,” Swami Nathan told a briefing, while emphasizing that measures like physical distancing, hand washing and mask wearing continue to be necessary in containing COVID’s spread for the rest of the year.

However, Swami Nathan praised the “incredible progress” made by vaccine researchers to develop several safe and effective vaccines at fast speed. Countries are currently administering vaccines developed by BioNTech-Pfizer, Oxford University/AstraZeneca and Moderna.

“The vaccines are going to come,” she said. “They are going to go to all countries ... but meanwhile we mustn’t forget that there are measures that work,” she added, referring to hygiene and social distancing. “We won’t get back to normal quickly,” Dale Fisher, chairman of the WHO’s Outbreak Alert and Response Network, told a conference hosted by Reuters news agency. “We know we need to get to herd immunity and we need that in a majority of countries, so we are not going to see that in 2021,” Fisher said. “There might be some countries that might achieve it but even then that will not create ‘normal’ especially in terms of border controls,” he added.

【1】Which is NOT the factor that prevent herd immunity?

A．Doubt about vaccination.

B．The possible mutations of virus.

C．The growing availability of vaccines.

D．Access to vaccines in developing countries.

【2】As for the first stages of mass-vaccination campaigns, which country is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Vietnam

B．Germany

C．Singapore

D．the United Kingdom

【3】What is the attitude of Swami Nathan to the progress of vaccine?

A．Negative

B．Indifferent

C．Neutral

D．Positive

【4】What can we learn from what Fisher said?

A．In terms of good border controls, we can achieve herd immunity.

B．There may be a long way to get to herd immunity all over the world.

C．If some countries might achieve herd immunity, people will live a ‘normal’ life.

D．In many countries in 2021, people will live a ‘normal’ life in terms of border controls.

Sam was stubborn and liked to do things his own way. He liked to eat his meals one food at a time-no mixing. He wore his purple socks on Tuesdays and his lucky sweater whenever he had a spelling test.

Oscar was Sam’s father. He liked to do things, his own way, too. While the neighbors mowed(割草) their lawns, Oscar-grew-a wildflower-meadow(草场). He got a haircut on the first Thursday of every month, whether he needed it or not. And he wore his lucky sweater to every one of Sam’s ball games.

Sam thought his dad was the smartest man on earth, and his dad thought Sam was the finest son a man could ever want... until the day they decided to build the tree house.

Sam had a picture in his mind.

Oscar had a picture in his mind.

The pictures didn’t match.

At the store, they disagreed on how much wood to buy. They argued about how long the nails should be. They quarreled about what color paint they should pick. And when they got home, they argued and ARGUED and ARGUED about which tree was best.

Sam wanted the maple. He wouldn’t give in.

His dad wanted the hackberry. He wouldn’t give in, either.

The boards and the nails and the paint sat in the backyard. They sat there in the hot, summer sunshine. They sat there when the autumn leaves fell. They sat under a blanket of snow all winter.

“Sam is so stubborn,” Oscar complained to Sam’s mother, “If he’d listen to reason, I could show him why the hackberry is best.“

“Why won’t Dad listen to my ideas?” Sam asked his mom.

Sam’s mother tried talking to Sam’s dad. He wouldn’t listen.

She tried talking to Sam. It did no good.

Spring came. The wildflower meadow began to bloom, and baseball practice started. Soon it was Mother's Day, and Sam made his mother a clay pot and filled it with flowers. She loved it.
