1、第一节  语篇翻译  阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap1. This leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is ‘the most beautiful invention in public health’. 2. 用肥皂洗手对你的健康有好处。

However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is because there aren’t enough resources(资源) in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is not part of their everyday life.3. It’s not easy for people to change habits they learned in early childhood. But this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote(促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries. 4. 现在在非洲越来越多的人用肥皂洗手。

Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the importance of cleaning hands. 5. They hope that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives. And it is believed that handwashing can improve the health of millions of people around the world.

23、   The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP, 新型冠状病毒肺炎) outbreak in China was caused by a new coronavirus that we have never seen before. It was first found in the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, where a variety of wild animals were on sale. People who sold and bought animals illegally were the first to be infected.

Scientists have found that the virus likely came from bats and was then spread to humans from pangolins (穿山甲). According to Live Science, bats can carry and spread more than 60 viruses that can infect humans. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and SARS. But bats have special immune systems that allow them to live with viruses without getting sick. Other wild animals like snakes and hedgehogs (刺猬) are also hosts of many viruses.

There have been calls for people to stop eating wild animals. However, the danger is not just in eating them, but also in touching them. People can get infected if they come into contact with the body fluids (体液) of wild animals. People who hunt, kill, sell or eat these animals run the risk of becoming infected.

Keeping wild animals as pets or selling parts of their bodies as animal products also create risks for humans. It is highly possible to come into contact with the body fluids of wild animals in this way.

“Trade and consumption of wild animals of all kinds should be banned,” Zeng Guang, chief epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China Daily. “Otherwise people will suffer.”

【1】According to scientists, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.

A.Pangolins    B.snakes C.hedgehogs D. bamboo rats

【2】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?

A.Research more about wild animals. B.Exercise regularly to stay healthy.

C.Stop keeping animals as pets. D.Don’t buy or eat wild animals.

His neighbour Julie saw the whole thing. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under,” Julie said. “Before I knew it, Thomas was already in the icy water.
