六、书面表达保护野生动物一、阅读理解Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus （新冠病毒）.It ' s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms （有机物）. They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria （细菌）, viruses can 'rte produce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “ Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American , “ because viruses don ' t leave fossils （化石） and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves withi n the cells they 've invaded. ”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts —not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites （寄生者）. Second, viruses evolved （进化） from pieces of DNA or RNA that“ escaped ” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses c-oevolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.1.What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A.They only infect animals and plants.B.They reproduce by finding a host cell.C.They are really small living organisms.D.They are more dangerous than bacteria.2.The underlined word plau“sible ” in the last paragraph probably means “ ________ ”.A.creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable3.What can we learn from the passage?A.The author is confident about further virus studies.B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D.It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.4.What ' s the best title of the passage?A.Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?、完形填空As the saying goes, “ A hero is known in the time of mis（for不tu幸ne）”Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this.

A，阅读理解Technology has brought ancient poets “back to life”. At the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing, there were two robots that looked like the Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu. While Li Bai was holding up a cup of wine, Du Fu was sitting at a desk, writing.These are called bionic (仿生的) robots. The robot’s skin is usually made of silicone (硅胶),CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. The robot’s skin is very soft. You can even see veins (血管) under the skin.Another human-like robot also attracted attention recently. It was created by US company Apptronik. Named Apollo, it has around 30 muscles (肌肉). For now, the robot can only make simple movements, such as walking and waving . The robot’s head has cameras and sensors (传感器) inside. They can help it map out a 360-degree view (景象) of its environment. They also help the robot keep balance when walking on unstable (不稳定的) surfaces.Nowadays, bionic human-like robots mostly work with humans, such as by being tour guides or helpingvisitors at front desks. This could be because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look and act like them. They can “strike a chord (引起共鸣) with people,” a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker.As more human-like robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a 70-kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may get hurt.1. What does “brought ancient poets ‘back to life’” mean in Paragraph 1?A. Technology can make ancient poets come back to life.B. The robots looked and acted like real ancient poets.C. Visitors can experience real ancient life with new technology.D. The robots can create better poems than poets.2. The skin of robots made by EXROBOTS shows _____.A. how human-like their robots areB. how soft the robot’s skin isC. what the robot’s skin is made fromD. how different it is from other robots3. What can Apollo do with built-in sensors?A. Wave at humans.B. Walk stably.C. Know human faces.D. Draw attention.4. In which situation can bionic robots help you now?A. When you want someone to repair your car.B. When you want someone to travel with you.C. When you don’t want to do housework.D. When you want to know the floor information of a building.5. What do people worry about with human-like robots?A. Users may fall in love with the robots.B. Human-like robots look scary.C. The robots’ weight may cause problems.D. The robots may get out of control.【答案】BABDC【解析】本文介绍人形机器人的一些应用和特点。

Reading a good Python programme feels like reading English paragraphs. Usually, students can start learning Python in the higher grades of primary school. After learning Python, you can develop games and things like a calculator(计算器).C++C++ is the only programming language for NOIP(全国青少年信息学奥林匹克联赛), which can help if a student wants to go to the top universities.What do students think about learning programming?Helen: I studied C++for several years when I was at primary school. It requires a high level of math. Now I have changed to learn MO(数学奥林匹克竞赛) problems. I find out that what I’ve learned in programming helps me a lot when dealing with MO problems. It can also help me with maths at school.Steve: I have friends who continue learning programming, and it takes a lot of time. There is a chance and it helps with the gaokao. If you want to study IT and engineering majors in university, it’s certainly worth learning. However, I think learning without a certain intention(目的) is better. It’s fun and a way of relaxing for me now. As far as I can see, programming is not for everyone. If you find it too hard at some point, there is no need to push yourself.1.How many kinds of programming education does the article introduce?A．1B．2C．3D．42.If a student wants to take part in NOIP, what should he learn?A．Scratch B．English C．Python D．C++3.What does the underlined it refer to?A．Learning MO problems.B．Learning high math skill.C．Learning programming D．Learning math problem.4.What does Steve think of learning programming?A.

There’re many other reasons you may lose attention.Technology overload.Your computer, cell phone, and iPad all draw your attention no wonder you’re distracted(注意力不集中)! To a certain point, your brain can act as a secretary, keeping you organized and helping with time task, research shows. Learning basic organizational skills, like writing down responsibilities and maintaining a day planner, can help reduce these problems. So take a break from television, Internet, and email floods.Lack of sleep.If you are missing out on enough shut-eye most likely seven to eight hours a night you’re probably easy-angry, dealing with mind fog, and have difficulty dealing with daily tasks. That's a usual reaction.Poor job satisfaction.Sure, everyone's unhappy at work from time to time maybe your customer presentation failed or your boss gave you a poor performance review. And if a disorganized working environment or a boring project makes it difficult to focus, that's normal. But if you find that you often can’t complete projects, you probably need medical attention, or a new job.Too much stress, too little exercise.Stress has a bad influence on concentration (E /1).

The curtailing of flights worldwide has highlighted just how important air travel is to the global economy, not only directly but also as an essential part of the broader travel and tourism sector, the world's largest industry.Also, 3 , not the Chinese authorities, that ordered the three US carriers operating passenger flights between the countries to suspend their China operations in early February, when China was battling the virus in Hubei province.True, the US airlines applied to resume their operations in May, 4 . But the situation in the US at that time made it impossible for the CAAC to approve the US carriers' applications.5 , such as making it compulsory for all on board a plane to wear face masks — because if the increased number of flights do not lead to a spike in infections, it will instill confidence thatair travel can get back to normal sooner rather than later.A.It is to be hoped that the US airlines take prevention and control measures seriouslyB.With countries around the world implementing pandemic prevention and control measuresC.which is why there are rewards and suspensions for the airlines depending on whether any infections are detected among their passengers.D.when it was clear that China had largely controlled the spread of the virus in the countryE.it should be borne in mind that it was the US administrationF.It will benefit China and AmericaG.the world is starting to emerge from its enforced suspended animation.Passage 4钟南山分享抗疫经验W: How you managed to expand facilities? We saw lots of coverage of the new hospitals.I was i 1 in the other end of this infection that how to increase2 （医疗的）care for people who are unwell but not very sick. And I believed you have used sports facilities and how was that worked? We have something to learn 3 that.M: Well, I suppose that was a method to 4 （分离）the infected people and the healthy people. That’s the main r 5 . At that time in Wuhan they just mixed. It was actually totally lost control because quite a lot of number of the medical staff got infected.That’s a big problem. At that time all the infected people just stay at home that they infected their family. So the 6 （首要的）priority is to separate, to distinguish the infected people. So that’s where tho se huge number of patients can go. So we just set up some simple hospitals or wards and asked them to stay there to isolate them from the healthy people.That’s the main reason.W: OK. I’ll just try to understand w7 they had to be there and not at home was because they would just infect many more family members at home.M: Yes, that’s right. Definitely yes.W: OK. Because I think there were a lot of question marks 8 the beginning when Wuhan was shut down was that this was the good thing to do but it seems clear that ithad a very significant impact. Is that how everyone feels?M: Oh, yes, yes. I think that was definitely a good procedure the government have been taken. The expert committee announced there was human-to-human transmission. And also lots of the medical staff got i 9 . That’s a very serious situation. I think on the 23rd (of January) the very strong action the so called early quarantine by themselves was taken in the whole country. It’s very im portant. 10 （隔离）is a really important step. So the incidence of disease seems declining very fast. I suppose the other country should be doing something like that.W: They have it in Italy. I think it may be d 11 in big cities in Europe to achieve anything like was achieved in China. I don’t know how possible that would be, but at least we have the information to show us.M: I suppose ... I think that’s the only way because we don’t have a targeted medication available for this kind of virus. So probably that’s t he oldest way and the most 12 （高效的）to prevent it from further spreading.重点短语：manage to do sth 设法做成（困难的事）coverage n [U] 提供的数量；覆盖范围medical care 医疗护理unwell adj 染病；不适very sick 病得很重separate … and … 把……和……分开infected adj 感染病菌的lose control 失（去）控（制）medical staff 医务人员/ 医护人员first priority 头等大事set up 建起ward n [C] 病房；病室isolate … from … 使……与……隔离question mark 问号shut down 关闭It is / seems clear that … ……很明显。

六、书面表达保护野生动物一、阅读理解Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus (新冠病毒).It’s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物). They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria (细菌), viruses can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves withi n the cells they’ve invaded.”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts—not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that“escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.1. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria.2. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable3. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D. It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?二、完形填空As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune（不幸）”.Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this.
