Because of COVID-19, in many places, large gatherings of people aren’t allowed. In some areas, the rules are more strict, and people aren't allowed to leave their homes unless going out is ly necessary.
These steps are very important for slowing the disease down. By doing this, governments can make sure doctors and hospitals are better able to deal with all the sick people, and that fewer people suffer in all. Usually, it's called “flattening the curve”.
But if no one can go out, that means businesses which depend on visitors struggle. Many singers, bands, and other musicians would normally be giving concerts now. Instead, they have to find new ways to share their music and connect with their audiences. The Metropolitan Opera in New York has canceled(取消) its season, but it is showing a special live stream of a different opera each day on its website. Other opera companies have made similar moves. Several theater companies are either offering recorded versions of their plays online or posting videos of their actors performing.
Nick Green wrote a musical play that was canceled because of the virus. He set up a website with links that allow people to enjoy the work of artists around the world who have had their projects canceled. He called his
project the Social Distancing Festival. He sad it was a time when he should be doing something new, rather than feeling disappointed.
Even TV shows have to find new ways to film their shows. Some late night TV shows have continued, but without audiences. Others are showing reruns.
While their shows are on pause, some TV stars like Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon have been filming short videos at home. Mr. O’ Brien plans to bring his show back on the air soon by filming with his own phone and talking with guests over the Internet.
4. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Keeping patients staying at home anytime. B. Speed up the spread of disease. C. Stopping people from often gathering up. D. Slowing down the spread of the disease. 5. What are opera companies’ new ways?
A. Stopping sharing music with audience. B. Providing live stream services. C. Trying to attract live audiences. D. Sharing their operas with each other 6. What did the cancellation of Nick Green's play bring him?
A. Disappointment. B. Annoyance . C. Creativity. D. Anxiety. 7. What is the text mainly about?
A. People staying at home . B. The absence of audiences. C. The efforts of Nick Green . D. Entertainment going online .
C
Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. \"We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,\" says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
8. What does the underlined word \"halt\" in the first paragraph mean?
A. End. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. Weaken. 9. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals by hand underwater. C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas. 10. What do Gunning's words suggest?
A. Many corals have been genetically improved. B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.
C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking. D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Relationship between corals and algae B. Efforts made to save corals C. Impact of climate warming on corals D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs
D
We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem—until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces—the \"T-zone\" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular—can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.
This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. \"Just stop this simple behavior,\" William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. \"It's the one behavior that would be
better than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created.\"
Yet, stopping this \"simple\" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) into our system.
Some face touchingis an automatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like \"the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, ushering (引导) in the next,\" Keltner told the BBC.
Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these occasions is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change \"because you don't even know you're doing it\group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour—with 44 percent of the touches being in the \"T-zones\". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.
Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus. 12. What do the first two paragraphs talk about? A. The best way to fight COVID-19
B. How organizations are fighting COVID-19.
C. Typical hand hygiene problems in the fight against COVID-19. D. The necessity to avoid touching our faces to fight COVID-19. 13. Why is it hard for people to stop touching their faces? A. It makes people feel more confident. B. Many are unaware of this behavior's risks. C. They usually do it automatically and subconsciously D. Many think the action helps them express their emotions.
14. Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text? A. Using it as a sign to change the topic B. Bringing a conversation to an end.
C. Showing an interest in the ongoing subject. D. Making others feel relaxed while talking.
15. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students? A. To give tips on how to stop touching faces.
B. To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces. C. To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face. D. To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
