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年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解四篇Passage 1 疫情使“食物银行”面临危机Skyrocketing unemployment due to the coronavirus(新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病) has been forcing a growing number of Americans to turn to charitable services for assistance as food insecurity among families with children grows. New York City Mission Society(NYCMS) has been serving the city’s most underserved(缺少关爱的) children since 1812. Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children it serves and delivering them during the pandemic.“I can't tell you how desperately these food baskets are needed...In the New York tri-state area, we have a very serious situation because so many residents live at or below the pover ty level,” Shafiroff, a member of NYCMS, told Fox News. “The food bank across the area are very helpful...but the supply and the demand are not working the way they should right now. There is massive demand all over the country --39 million Americans out o f work, and this translates into no food on the table.”Shafiroff noted that a major issue during the pandemic has been getting food to the food banks, especially amid the shutdown of multiple meat processing plants across the country. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration(食品药品管理局) has even temporarily loosened its food labeling policies during the coronavirus pandemic and give producers more flexibility amid food shortages.According to a Brookings analysis, almost 35 percent of households with children said they did not have sufficient food, that's 14 percent higher than during the recession. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Shafiroff is encouraging those who can afford it to make donations to their local food bank. “I know my husband and I recently donated 10,000 meals to Heart of the Hamptons, which is a food bank in the Hamptons, because we feel so strongly about providing food and being part of th e solution,” said Shafiroff. "And of course, 10,000 meals really doesn't mean much when you look at a country with 39 million people out of work, but if we all work tog ether, I believe we can solve this problem.”1 What did New York City Mission Society do to the children ?A Helped children grow happily.B Treated children with coronavirus.C Provided children with food.D Gave children baskets of books.2 What did government do to solve food shortages ?A Gave more food to food banks and Americans who were out of work.B Relaxed policies to enable food production more flexible.C Issued policies to meet the food demand.D Helped Americans to find jobs amid pandemic.3 What does Shafiroff appeal people to do in last paragraph ?A To make donations if people have food or money.B Create more job chances for people.C Work together to fight against the pandemic.D Look after people who are suffering the virus.Passage 2 疫情中的“拥抱帘”创意Sometimes you just want a hug from your grandma. A little girl from Riverside, Calif., wanted to hug her grandparents, but couldn’t because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the family members to keep their distance from each other. Getting creative, 10-year-old Paige created a “hug curtain” using a shower curtain, plastic bags, disposable plates and a hot glue gun. Mom Lindsay Okray, who works as a nurse, supervised the set-up. On Facebook, the proud mom praised about Paige’s idea, which was then set up outside of the grandparents’ front door at home.“Paige saw a video of someone who made this type of ‘blanket’ to hug their family. She put together a list and she designed it so she could hug nana and papa.. this girl is so amazing, and w e were so happy to be able to hug them!!” Lindsay wrote on Facebook, along with photos and video of the girl using the “hug curtain.”In the photos and video of the curtain, the grandparents are seen taking turns giving Paige big hugs. “It might be wet from the Lysol(杀菌剂) wipe,” Lindsay can be heard off-camera saying, once the grandparents open the door. “Oh my God, I love you,” Grandma says, while excitedly embracing her granddaughter. “How cool is this?” she adds. Those on Facebook were equally pleased wi th the creation and praised Paige’s design. “God bless you sweetie. You are a wonderful granddaughter. And very smart,” one person commented. “So cute,” another wrote.“So great!” one person commented, while another simply wrote “Awesome!”Though the “hug” curtain is a sweet gesture, make sure you continue to protect yourself and others from the novel coronavirus by practicing proper hygiene(卫生) like washing your hands, wearing a face mask outside, and maintaining a safe social distancing of 6 feet from others, per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.1 Why did Paige create the “hug curtain” ?A To make use of extra plastic bags.B To give her grandparents hugs.C To post photos and videos on Facebook.D To show her creative talent.2 What is true about the “hug curtain” ?A It was firstly created by Paige.B It was made by Paige’s mother.C It was supposed to be worn.D It was partly made of plastic bags.3 What is the attitude of people on Facebook toward the “hug curtain”?A ComplimentaryB WorriedC UnconcernedD Annoyed4 What is the purpose of the last paragraph ?A Praise the hug curtain one more time.B Remind people to take protective measures.C Show people how to protect themselves.D Tell people how to fight against coronavirus.Passage 3 机器翻译比人工翻译好吗？For me, it was bacon. There I was, standing in the streets of Medellin, Colombia, looking hungrily at a delicious empanada(肉馅卷饼). The sign read 'queso y tocino'. Because I knew some essential Spanish vocabulary, I knew that 'queso' was cheese. But 'tocino'? I typed it into my smartphone translation app. What came back? 'Tocino'. I later learned that means 'bacon' in the local language. Computer-assisted translation is popular. Google Translate, for example, is used by more than 500 million people. But while convenient and easy to use, they are hardly perfect. Now, dropping the odd expression now and again is hardly important on an informal conversational level –as might happen to a tourist on holiday. But in more formal circumstances, such as a medical or legal discussion, the wrong expression can be disastrous. So, can a computer translator ever equal a human?The technology has come a long way. These days, people can wear a 'translation earpiece'. These pick up the foreign terms and translate it directly to the wearer. Andrew Ochoa, chief executive of US start-up Waverly Labs, a producer of one such earpiece, says they work by 'combining a network of algorithms(演算) and speech-recognition technology'. But they have limitations. Firstly, there's a delay while the phrase is translated. How long often depends on the connection strength. Secondly, they aren't able to communicate human emotion well. Human conversation is more sensitive than just the words used. It has tone, attitude, for example. "If you want to create a relationship…you need a human translator to make it sound natural," Zoey Cooper, brand and content director at Wordbank, a global marketing and translation agency, told the BBC.So, while many professional translators do use computer-assisted translation tools to help them with the repetitive nature of translation, context is important. It might work well for a survey or instruction manual, but for important human-to-human speech, and for the time being at least, better to use a translator, or your message might get mistaken or lost in translation.1 What did the author want to buy in Colombia?A some baconB a cheese hamburgerC a cheese and bacon empanadaD a smartphone2 When can a computer-assisted translation error be a big problem?A When a tourist is visiting.B When two doctors are having discussionC When two kids are having fun.D When we are reading a foreign magazine.3 How do translation earpieces work?A They calculate and recognize speech.B They search on the internet.C Humans do the translations behind them.D They translate by using smartphones.4 What are the disadvantages of translation earpieces?A They will show the results at once.B They are quite expensive.C They don’t need high technology.D They can’t express feelings.Passage 4 残疾女孩的创业路When Liu Yanzhi was a teenager, she would secretly apply her mother's lipstick and go out onto the streets in her wheelchair with her younger sister. However, many passersby gave her contemptuous looks, saying that it was silly for a disabled person to wear makeup. Her sister was often embarrassed and asked Liu not to do it. "I was quite angry," said Liu, who has been unable to walk since she contracted a fever when she was 8 months old. "Which law says disabled women can't wear makeup? Every woman has the right to pursue beauty. Wearing makeup makes women like me confident."At age 25, Liu－then a single mother with a baby daughter－used an interest-free loan arranged by the local government to open a beauty salon in her home county in Anhui province. Now, the 31-year-old owns a factory that produces her own brand of cosmetics. Her success did not come easy, though. In 2009, Liu took the gaokao, the annual college entry exam, and won a place at a vocational school(职业学校) in Hefei, Anhui's capital. After touring the campus, she declined the offer. Without her parents, the lack of accessiblefacilities would make her journey between the dormitory and teaching building an real challenge every day. "I lay in bed for three days thinking about what I should do," Liu said. "I dared not cry, because I could see how heartbroken my mother was." Instead, she sold ice cream, tended jewelry stalls and distributed leaflets. Whenever possible, she spoke with other retailers, looking for ways to achieve financial independence. Then, she worked in a local beauty salon for a couple of years. She earned a low wage, but discovered her career, learning massage techniques and how to apply makeup. She also became a qualified beautician and dietitian.In 2012, she obtained a 50,000 yuan ($7,000) loan, rented a street-front shop and opened a beauty salon. In the first two years, the salon lost money. Liu's mother asked her to give up, but she brushed concerns aside and traveled around the country to attend training sessions run by noted beauticians.1 What does the underlined word “contemptuous” probably mean in paragraph 1 ?A admirableB not caringC confusedD not respectful2 Why did Liu declined the offer of a vocational school ?A Because the journey to Anhui’s capital was long and hard.B Because her parents told her to refuse the offer.C Because the daily life on campus was challenging to her.D Because she thought the study was full of challenges.3 How can you describe Liu according to paragraph 3 ?A optimistic and hard-workingB considerate and beautifulC fortunate and strongD clever and thoughtful4 What will be talked about in the following paragraph ?A Liu traveled around the country.B Liu finally made it after training.C Liu went back to school for study.D Liu closed her beauty salon.passage 1 答案：1. C. 根据第一段最后一句，Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children itserves and delivering them during the pandemic，最近，它一直在儿童制作食品和公用设施篮子，并在疫情期间运送这些篮子。

WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases. Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it. “We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,”said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.阅读短文内容，选择最佳选项。

The Dutch boy mop ping up a sea of plastic荷兰男子制造“海洋吸尘器”清理海洋塑料垃圾“When I was 16 years old, I was scuba diving (水肺潜水) in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, 25, an engineer who designed the world’s first ocean plastic cleanup system.Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. Every day, plastic items, fishing equipment, and ship parts are dump ed (倾倒) into the seas. These can take up to 500 years to decompose (分解) .If left alone, sea animals become entangled (缠绕的) in them and can even die if the plastics are ingest ed (摄入). Worse, humans can be affected when these plastics break down. “Smaller pieces enter the food chain, and that’s a food chainthat includes us humans,” Slat said.In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this grim (令人沮丧的) reality, Slat created The Ocean Cleanup, an environmental NGO, in 2013 and put his plan for an ocean plastic cleanup device (设备) into action.After years of research and development in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastic on Oct 2, 2019.The device uses a 600-meter-long “C” shaped tube to gather all the floating debris (垃圾). Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device.A sea anchor (锚) is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt (挡板) attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.In a news conference, Slat said, “In a few years we will have the full-scale fleet (舰队) out there.”Currently, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is three times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in fiveyears.It remains to be seen if this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused.“We are starting to see a young generation that gets that and is excited about a sustainable (可持续的) future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?” Slat said.（节选自Telegraph）1.

2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解Passage 1 美国正积极研发新冠疫苗The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race to develop an effective coronavirus(新冠病毒) vaccine, Johns Hopkins University health policy and management professor Dr. Marty Makary told "Special Report" Wednesday. "There are 70 vaccines in different stages of development," said Makary, a Fox News contributor. "There are seven that are being given in patients right now. We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three."Makary added that the Chinese vaccines "are actually in further stages of development. Their drugs are in phase two or three, and it's a real race ...The country that gets there first will have a significant advantage because they will control the supply for the rest of the world and the risk is if we aren't there first, we could get locked out." The professor concluded that the search for a vaccine was "moving along," but added that "it will probably take a year" before such a treatment becomes widely available.Earlier Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious-disease expert and a member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, touted the drug remdesivir(瑞德西韦) for its "clear-cut significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery,” as reflected in new data. Makary said that while the National Institutes of Health study shows only a 31 percent reduction rate in recovery time, it could prove to be significant. "One thing to remember," Makary cautioned about remdesivir, "it's not a silver bullet. "It reduces the severity and probably increases recovery but also, this is an IV(静脉注射) medication, it's not something you can go to the pharmacy tonight and pick up." In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment, but Makary said it is likely to receive emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration "as early as this evening”.1 What does the underlined word “neck-and-neck” mean ?A work togetherB be friendsC at the equal levelD be enemies2 What is American’s challenge according to Makary’s statement ?A Use vaccines to save more people.B Give patients more vaccines for treatment.C Develop effective vaccines before China does.D Work with China to develop vaccines.3 What can we know about remdesivir ?A It can reduce the time to recovery.B People can’t purchase it easily in drug stores.4 Which would be the best title for this passage ?A The US is level with China in race for coronavirus vaccines.B Remdesivir can be the treatment for coronavirus vaccines.C Remdesivir need the regulatory approval.D Coronavirus vaccines should be developed soon.Passage 2 上海迪士尼恢复营业Shanghai Disneyland to reopen after shutting downMay 11 could be a very magical day for theme park lovers. As parts of the world start to reopen amid the coronavirus (新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病), many people are looking to see how businesses will return after closing down. It’s likely that theme park lovers will be interested to see how the Disney parks alter their practices in response to the outbreak. Shanghai Disneyland announced that it will be reopening to the public on Monday. The park closed its doors on Jan. 25 as part of China’s efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, the outbreak has become a pandemic and Disney parks across the world have also been limited and shut their doors.In a statement, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said: “We know how much our guests have been looking forward to returning to Shanghai Disneyland, and our cast is excited to begin welcoming them back. As the park reopens with significantly enhanced health and safety measures, our guests will find Shanghai Disneyland as magical and memorable as ever.”When the park reopens, guests will be required to purchase admission tickets valid for certain dates only. Also, annual pass holders will have to make reservations prior to arrival. The park will also control guest density(密度) in lines, restaurants, ride vehicles and other facilities. The park will also utilize temperature screening and require guests to wear masks in the park, except when eating.1 What does the underlined word “curb” mean in paragraph 1 ?A stopB encourageC controlD treat2 What can we learn form paragraph 1?A Shanghai Disneyland closed before the pandemic of the coronavirus.B Only Shanghai Disneyland shut its door during the pandemic.D China has curbed the spread of the coronavirus.3 What will happen when Shanghai Disneyland reopens ?A It won’t be as entertaining as before.B Those who bought ticket can visit it at any time.C Annual pass holders can visit the park freely.D Many measures will be used to enhance safety.Passage 3 纽约顶级厨师的工作困境Chefs from some of New York City’s top restaurants are leaving the business to work for billionaires after losing their jobs to the coronavirus (新冠病毒), the New York Post has learned.Out-of-work chefs from restaurants including Jean-Georges, Daniel, Eleven Madison Park, Per Se and Gramercy Tavern are being poached (挖走) by talent agents and even real estate brokers (房地产经纪人) to work for wealthy families since the coronavirus shutdowns have weakened the restaurant industry, sources said. The supply of quality chefs is so abundant that some wealthy people say they’re getting cold-called about the latest candidate. “I received a call out of the blue asking if we wanted to hire a top chef who had worked for Jean-Georges,” one billionaire real estate developer told the NYPost's Side Dish.For unemployed chefs, it’s often the only way for them to make money doing what they love at a time when sit-down dining is prohibited by the state lockdown. “I was laid off six weeks ago. It just wasn’t possible to stay, no matter how much the chef wanted to keep us. I can’t stand not working. I miss being in the kitchen,” said Ian Tenzer, a 29-year-old former sous chef(副厨) at three-star Michelin restaurant Eleven Madison Park, named the world’s best restaurant in 2017. “Working as a p rivate chef has always been a part of the industry I had thought about working in and, at this point in my career, it’s a good choice economically and professionally,” he added.Indeed, chefs who choose to work in private homes stand to get a 20 percent to 30 percent pay raise, as well as other perks (补贴) including better hours, sources said. Sous chefs at top restaurants can earn between $120,000 and $200,000 a year working full-time for a family, compared to closer to $100,000 working at a restaurant. One drawback is that you never know what kind of family you’ll get, chefs said. Some families are “lovely, adventurous and curious,” but others can be quite the opposite. They can be rude and “even physically and verbally abusive. I have heard horror stories,” said one chef who asked to remain1 Which is true about Chefs in New York city ?A Some of famous chefs are leaving the business to work in private homes.B Wealthy families invited chefs to work for them.C Chefs are being poached because billionaires need them.D Top chefs are rare in New York city.2 Which of the following can describe the underlined phrase “out of the blue” ?A from the skyB all of a suddenC in the morningD from a friend3 What can we know form paragraph 3 ?A Ian Tenzer was out of work because the chef didn’t need him.B There still many jobs for Ian Tenzer to do.C Ian Tenzer hadn’t considered working for private families.D Being a private chef can be economically helpful to Ian Tenzer.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Being a private chef can earn more.B Unemployed chefs are being personal cooks.C Chefs from New York City’s top restaurantsD Out-of-work chefs from top restaurantsPassage 4 为隔离患者捐赠iPadNo man is an island. But for the coronavirus (新冠病毒) patients in hospitals, they die alone – physically separated from the friends and family who love them. This cruel reality weighs heavily on a group of New York City volunteers whose mission is to actually connect patients with family members unable to be present due to hospital restrictions on visitors. Their solution: to collect used iPads from across the country and donate them to hospitals in underserved (缺医少药的) communities where the need is most serious. "It’s a heartbreaking scene," Nicolas Heller, a 31-year-old documentarian, said of the thousands of people who have died from the disease in isolation, without the comforting words or touch from a loved one. "A lot of these people are dying prematurely, whether they had medical issues or not. It’s crushing." said Heller, who is part of iPads to Hospitals, an organization – founded by two medical students, Amy Johnson and Jeff Arace –that is collecting used iPads for patients who do not own smartphones capable of video chatting.equipment, such as masks and gloves. The tablet computers can allow medical staff to communicate with patients from outside of the room, decreasing their risk of exposure to the virus.As of Friday morning, the group said it has received 375 used iPads from donors nationwide and raised more than $22,000 through its GoFundMe page to purchase more devices. So far, 50 of the iPads have been donated to Brooklyn’s COVID-only site, University Hospital of Brooklyn at SUNY Downstate, whose staff expressed the critical impact the devices can have on patients and also healthcare workers."The lifeblood of what we’re doing is making use of people’s iPads that are in their drawers and on their desks that they don’t use anymore," said Ian Kaplan, a film director from Brooklyn. "I’ve ha d every make and model of iPad ever made in my hands in the last week," said 29-year-old Kaplan. "With the exception of the first model, which doesn’t have a camera, we can make use of any iPad. However, we are nowhere near meeting the demand of every hospital that we speak with.”1 Why do volunteers collect used iPads ?A To make better use of iPads.B To collect and sell them to patients.C To enable patients to contact with their family.D To equip underserved communities.2 What can we know according to paragraph 2 ?A Heller is one of iPads to Hospitals’s founders.B Hospital staff can use iPads to contact with their family.C These iPads can be beneficial to medical workers.D These iPads can protect hospital staff from the virus.3 What can we infer from the statement of Ian Kaplan ?A People donated iPads because they wanted to buy new ones.B Every make and model of iPad can be used in hospitals.C Those iPads in his hands are all with cameras.D There is still a lot of iPads needed to meet the demand.4 What is the main idea of this passage ?A Patients in hospitals are physically separated.B Group collects used iPads to connect patients with family.C How was iPads to Hospitals founded by two medical students.D How to collect iPads for hospitals.Passage 5 澳大利亚森林大火The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia's capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze Sunday and air quality at midday was measured at 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. The early and damaging start to Australia’s summ er wildfires, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (毁灭性的) for the country's wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told the Sydney Morning Herald.Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight the flames that have burned millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the rural fire service (RFS) said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, 64 of them uncontrolled.On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists (后备军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire-fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, a day after thousands were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.1 What does the underlined phrase “fed by” mean ?A get food from someoneB be strengthened by somethingC be destroyed by somethingD under control of something2 Why were there thunderstorms and tornadoes ?A Because the fires generated thunderstorms and tornadoes.B Because there was rainy weather.C Because the fires generated enough heat to create extreme weather.D Because the weather systems is easy to change.3 What can we learn form the last paragraph ?A Many soldiers will fight against the fires as they have done before.B Fires were controlled due to cooler temperatures and lighter winds.C A lot of people moved out of the suburban areas.D Damage to property and wildlife is limited.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Australia's destructive wildfiresB Soldiers fought against the firesC Wildlife died form the firesD Australia’s wildfires was under control1. C.根据第一段中，The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race todevelop an effective coronavirus vaccine中的race一词，及最后一句We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three. 可知，美国和中国目前处于同样的疫苗研发阶段，正在比赛哪国先研制出有效的新冠病毒疫苗。
