COVID-19 could cut wildlife trade新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅Conservation experts are saying that the trade in wildlife could be greatly cut after the coronavirus pandemic has finished. They say that the virus probably started at a market selling wild animals in China. The virus came from either a bat or an animal called a pangolin. It then crossed over to infect humans. The conservation group Humane Society International said: "The consumption of wild animals which can carry diseases that can cross the species barrier poses a real threat to human health." The Wildlife Conservation Society called for a ban of animal markets that trade in wildlife. It said: "Not only will this help to prevent the spread of disease, it will address one of the major drivers of species extinction."A spokesman from the Zoological Society of London said animal markets could be "time bombs". He said the markets can provide perfect conditions for new viruses to start and grow. He added that if we treated animals like goods to buy and sell, we would be in trouble again in the future. Scientists say many new outbreaks of viruses start in animals. About 75 percent of new infectious diseases come from animals. Recent examples include SARS, MERS and Ebola. Infections from animals cause millions of illnesses and deaths worldwide every year. An expertsaid the world must act soon, because, "realistically, it's just a matter of time before the next zoonotic disease risk emerges".材料来源：https:///news/science-environmen生词表conservation （自然环境、文物）保护pandemic 大流行病pangolin 穿山甲consumption 消费species barrier 物种屏障poses a real threat 构成真正的威胁address 解决处理extinction 熄灭Zoological 动物的，动物学的infectious 传染的realistically 现实地zoonotic [医] 动物传染病的emerge 出现，浮现参考译文COVID-19可能会切断野生动物贸易保护专家说，在冠状病毒大流行结束后，野生动物贸易可能会大大减少。

However, when females enter the workplace, they may find things are still difficult. Of the 145 countries and regions surveyed in a WEF (世界经济论坛) report, 97 have more female students thanmale students in universities. But only four of those countries and regions have a majority (多数) of female leaders in the workplace. “Women tend to (往往会) be viewed on the basis of their performance, while men are often promoted (升职) for their potential (潜力),” The Washington Post wrote.Old thinking about men and women is still influencing women’s careers, according to Saadia Zahidi, a WEF official. For example, many people believe boys are better at science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). And even today, women make up only a third of the students in these fields worldwide. Girls and women need to master the skills and training that are needed for the jobs of tomorrow, especially in the STEM fields, said Zahidi.The gender gap (性别差距) in the workplace is not just about less pay for women. It’s also about women making sure their pay shows their value. Actress Sandra Bullock once said, “Once we start changing how we think about women, the pay gap will take care of itself.”( )1.

2020中考英语时文阅读（新型冠状肺炎）Science can help us win科学能帮助我们赢得胜利It’s not just doctors, but also scientists who are working to study the virus from scratch (从头开始).Chinese scientists have reacted(反应) quickly to deal with the novel coronavirus. On Jan 11 –12 days after getting a sample(样本) from an infected patient –scientists in Wuhan released the genetic sequence(基因序列) of the novel coronavirus, the key to understanding the virus. They shared this data with scientists around the world.Around Jan 14, several companies created nucleic acid test kits(核酸检测盒) to help identify(识别) suspected(疑似的) infections. The Kehua Biochemical Company made the first kits. The kits take 1.5 to 3 hours to provide results from samples taken from patients. Now 10 companies are making 1.7 million testing kits every day, according to the National Medical Products Administration.Scientists are still looking for new medications and treatments. Theyhave found that plasma(血浆) from recovered(康复的) patients has antibodies(抗体) that can stop the virus. As of Feb 28, 91 patients had seen improvements in their symptoms(症状) thanks to plasma from recovered patients, according to the National Health Commission.Some kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are being used to treat patients, while five drugs are in clinical trials(临床试验), or human testing.However, the best way to end the epidemic is through vaccination(接种疫苗). Vaccines can stimulate(激活) the immune system(免疫系统) and fight the disease. But it can take as many as 5 to 10 years to develop a vaccine. Scientists have to test new vaccines on animals and then on humans.Chinese scientists have isolated(分离) strains(株) of the virus, the basic(基础的) ingredient to make vaccines. Potential(有潜力的) vaccines are set to begin clinical trials as early as late April or May, according to the National Health Commission. With the shared virus data, scientists in other countries are also working on it. US company ModernaTherapeutics started human trials of a potential vaccine on Feb 24.Supercomputers help studySupercomputers can run calculations(计算) faster than ordinary ones. China’s fastest supercomputer has a processing speed of 93.0 petaflops(千万亿次) per second. Scientists are now using supercomputers to look for possible drugs. They make programs and let them run on the supercomputers to find possible drugs. The computers can also analyze(分析) the genetic data of the virus and help scientists develop vaccines. Companies like Tencent have opened up their supercomputers to scientists who are studying the virus. It is hoped that this will allow scientists to develop a vaccine more quickly.生词表rom scratchreact quicklydeal withget a samplean infected patient share the data with ...identify suspected infections new medications and treatments plasma from recovered patients in clinical trialsthrough vaccinationisolate strains of the virus make vaccines从头开始快速反应处理采集样本一名受感染的病人与......分享数据识别疑似感染新的药物和治疗方法从康复患者身上提取的血浆进入临床试验通过接种疫苗分离这种病毒的毒株制造疫苗the National Health Commission 国家卫生委员会Exercise一、Fill in the blanks答案1.

Why is PE considered to be more important than these two subjects?I don’t think raising the PE score can really encourage students to exercise more. As we all know, working hard on10_______ and keeping your interest in a certain subject are completely different things.Tian Xu, 15I think it will play a positive (积极的) role in students’ education.

时文阅读训练——纽约公用电话的终结The end of New York's pay phonesThe end is coming for New York's public pay phones. New York City officials say workers are currently removing all public pay phones from the city's streets. Pay phones used to be everywhere in the city - on every street corner and in every park and public place. Engineers have started the removal work by taking away 30 pay phones from the Hell's Kitchen area of the city. In the coming months, the remaining phones will go. New York City spokesman Corey Johnson told the CNN news agency that: "The antiquated and outdated pay phone booths take up much needed sidewalk space. Removing these booths is a win for pedestrians who navigate these crowded blocks."Many New Yorkers probably won't even notice the phones are going. Most younger people have never used one. They may have to read the instructions to use a phone, and scramble for coins to feed it. Modern technology means the public phone is no longer needed. Over 95 percent of Americans have a mobile phone. Mr Corey said New Yorkers no longer want the phones. He said: "My office has received numerous community complaints from local residents about these antiquated pay phones, which present public safety and quality of lifeissues. Additionally, they take up sorely needed sidewalk space that could better serve people with disabilities and families with strollers."

（每小题2分）Americans think much about time. 1． As children，they are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. 2． When a person is dying, they say he is living on a borrowed time. Time is money. Time is knowledge. 3． A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. 4． In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.5． But sometimes they also hate time, because they become servant (佣人) of the clock.For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. 6． Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.________7． Here are some advice:Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.You need exercise to work well. 8．Stop thinking about the future and failing.If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. 9．To this advice, we could add:If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round an d round”—thinking too much. 10． Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.11．As we know, being stressed is not a good thing. Here are some trips I would like to share with you. 1____________Whenever you need help, turn to your parents and friends for help. It’s better to speak the worries out and get some advice from others, then you’ll feel more relaxed.2____________If you find yourself stressed out, find a way to let the feelings out. Do breathing exercises, listening to music, doing some sports and taking a walk may help.3____________When you calm down, it’s time to deal with your problem. You should find out what the problem is and figure out a way to solve it. If you can’t solve all of it at once, you may solve part of it. When you have found out what the problem is and started solving it, you will find your stress gone.4____________Every coin has two sides. Looking at the dark side can make you stressed and it won’t help solve your problem. So why not look at the bright side.5____________After you have solved the problem or part of the problem, buy yourself a gift, go to your favorite movie or just hang out with your friends. You will enjoy the feeling of being relaxed.从方框中选择恰当的句子，完成下面的对话》[ A middle student and her mother are visiting the security education show(安全教育展). ]M: Come on, darling, so many pictures here.S: 12．M: Traffic safety.S: Sounds boring.M: 13．S: Maybe.
