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年高考英语外刊时事命题阅读理解：在“大数据”的“加持”下,户外广告牌焕发新生 Sign of the Times

Sign of the Times在“大数据”的“加持”下，户外广告牌焕发新生。

PEDESTRIANS walking down 8th Avenue in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood will be struck by the face-side(正面) of the Hearst Magazine Building. The 3,716-square-metre building is decorated with columns and statues, and topped by a 183-meter glass and steel skyscraper.{1} Another distinctive feature is a vast digital screen that transmits advertisements. Despite being one of the world’s oldest forms of marketing, the outdoor-advertising business is embracing digital technologies.Most forms of traditional advertising — print, radio and broadcast television — have been losing ground to online ads for years. Only billboards, dating back to the 1800s, and TV ads are holding their own (see chart below). Out-of-home (OOH) advertising is estimated to have grown by 3.4 percent in 2018; digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, which includes the LCD screens (液晶屏) found in airports and shopping malls, by 16 percent. Such ads draw viewers’ attentionfrom phones and cannot be skipped or blocked, unlike ads online.Billboard owners are also making hay from the location data that are pouring off people’s smartphones.{2} Information about their owners’ whereabouts and online browsing gets collected and anonymized (匿名处理) by carriers (运营商) and data firms, and sold to media owners. They then use these data to work out when different groups — say, business travelers — walk by their ads. That knowledge is added to insights into traffic, weather and other data to produce highly relevant ads. For example, DOOH providers can deliver ads for coffee when it is cold.Billboards can also be programmed to show ads for allergy (过敏症) medication when the air is full of pollen(花粉).Such targeting works particularly well when it is accompanied by “programmatic” advertising methods. Supporters say outdoor ads will increasingly be bought like online ones, based on audience and views as well as location.That is possible because billboard owners claim to be able to measure how well their ads are working, even though no “click-through” rates are involved. Data firms can tell advertisers how many people walk past individual advertisements at particular times of the day. Advertisers can estimate how many individuals exposed to an ad go on to visit a nearby shop (or website) and buy the product. Such metrics (指标) make outdoor ads more data-driven, automated and measurable.Tech giants are among those to see more value in outdoor advertising. Netflix acquired a series of billboards along Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, where it advertises its films and TV shows. Tech firms, including Apple and Google, are heavy buyers of OOH ads, accounting for 25 of the top 100 OOH ad spenders in America.The outdoor-ad revolution is not problem-free, however. The collection of mobile phone data raises privacy concerns. And criticisms of the online-ad business may also turn to the OOH business as it becomes bigger and more complex. One of the benefits of following the online-ad leaders is that the OOH advertisers can learn from their mistakes.（选自Economist）1. The underlined words in Paragraph 3 probably mean “______.”A. restricting access toB. earning a profit fromC. taking advantage ofD. finding fault with2. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?A. The billboard has a history of more than 300 years.B. The billboard is the only form of conventional advertising that winsagainst online ads.C. DOOH refers to any type of digital billboards used for advertising outdoors.D. It is estimated that OOH advertising grew slower than DOOH advertising in 2018.3. What can we infer from the article?A. Billboard advertising is more likely to be targeted toward business travelers.B. “Click-through” rates are the only reliable metrics in advertising.C. Tech giants invest more money in OOH ads than in online ones.D. The outdoor-ad industry is likely to address privacy concerns.译文：沿着曼哈顿地狱厨房街区的第八大街行走的PEDESTRIANS将被赫斯特杂志大楼正面遮住。

In 2018, Taobao Live had aturnover (营业额) of over 100 billion yuan, a 400 percent increase over theprevious year. The popularity has continued to grow over the past 12 months.The rise of commercial live streaming is partly based on convenience.
