2022年中考英语话题：时事热点 新型冠状病毒1．At the beginning of 2021, the Chinese government said it will provide free COVID-19 vaccines(疫苗) to all Chinese citizens. Since then, millions of people have gotten the vaccine. Let’s take a closer look.  ▲  The vaccine is given by injection (注射). It’s suggested to get two doses. You should wait about two weeks after the first dose to get the second one.Can people of all ages get vaccinated?The vaccines have been tested among three different age groups: 3 to 17, 18 to 59, and 60 and above. The 18-to-59 age group has the most data (数据) the vaccines have been proven to be safe in this group. The other two groups are expected to be included soon.Is there anyone who shouldn’t get vaccinated?Experts say the vaccines are safe for most people. But people who have serious diseases such as cancer or diabetes (糖尿病), or people who are allergic (过敏的) to any of the vaccine’s ingredients, should not get it. People who want to get the vaccine should not get any other vaccines during the same period.Do I still need to wear a mask in public places after I’ve been vaccinated?Yes. It takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity after vaccination. This means it’s possible for a person to get infected (传染的) just after vaccination. There is also a small chance that your body won’t build immunity. So before the population becomes immune to the virus, it’s highly encouraged to keep wearing masks, practicing social distancing (社交隔离) and washing your hands after getting vaccinated.（1）．Who is sure to be safe after getting the COVID-19 vaccine right now?A．All Chinese citizens. B．People aged 3 to 17.C．People aged 18 to 59. D．People aged 60 and above.（2）．What can the missing sentence “▲” be?A．How is the vaccine given? B．Can people with serious diseases get vaccinated?C．How does the vaccine work? D．It is not easy to get the vaccine.（3）．What do we know about people who want to get a COVID-19 vaccine?A．They need to get two doses within a week.B．They only need to pay a small amount of money.C．They will have allergic reactions (过敏反应) at first.D．They shouldn’t get other vaccines at the same time.（4）．The writer develops the last paragraph by________.A．telling a story B．giving reasons C．comparing two facts D．showing numbers2．Animals Corona virus is common in animals. Sometimes, animals get infected（感染的）with these viruses which may then spread to human beings. To protect yourself, you should not visit live animal markets or have direct contact with wild animals. Stay away from raw meat, animal organs and other undercooked animal products. When an infectious pet was found in Hong Kong, some may wonder if one can get virus from their pets. Until today, there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit（传播） COVID-19. Please do not kill or give up pets! Touching surface with virus Studies suggest that COVID-19 virus may stay on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. However, the number may change under different conditions such as type of surface, temperature or the environment. If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with ethy alcohol（酒精）. After touching it, clean your hands with alcohol or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.Package（包裹）Before delivering to your home, a package has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature. Therefore, the possibility of being infectious because of your package from COVID-19-reported areas is rather low. There is no need to send your package back. Smoking An article posted on Wechat recently says that cigarette can protect smokers from COVID-19 and thus make cigarettes sell very well. It is an online rumor（谣言）! As has been known, smoking harms people’s health. It weakens the immune system and worsens diabetes and blood pressure. No smoking is still a must!Transportation According to Feng Luzhao, an export from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the major routes of transmission are still through respiratory droplets and direct contact. In order to protect yourself in underground station, wearing a mask and keeping your hands clean are good ways. People are also encouraged to use a personal transportation card or pay for the ticket via an app. After taking public transportation, washing hands is necessary.（1）．Among the following actions, which will most probably cause infection?A．Visiting a zoo. B．Eating raw food.C．Playing with your pet. D．Buying food from a live animal market.（2）．From the passage, we can know that           .A．a smoker will not get the virus B．we can touch surface with virusC．we should pay for the subway ticket via an app D．animals will certainly transmit COVID-19 virus（3）．What is the main idea of Part 4 of the passage?A．Smoking market is getting better and better because of the virus. B．We should not smoke because of the virus.C．Smoking is still harmful to our health. D．An online rumor becomes a fact.（4）．Which of the following is Not considered as a good way to fight against virus in this article?A．Wearing a mask outside home. B．Using personal transportation card.C．Protect your pets. D．Sending your package back. 3．Separate dining is common in the western culture, while in China’s dining culture, whether dining at home or eating out, a grouped dining system is used in most situations.However, the COVID-19 pandemic(大流行) has challenged the deep-rooted Chinese dining tradition of sharing dishes together, which makes the government, restaurants and citizens rethink about eating customs.Standards on dining came out on March 18. Here are the main points.Individual diners’ food should be served to customers in separate tableware.Each shared dish should be served with a separate pair of serving chopsticks(公筷).Each diner should have two pairs of differently colored chopsticks. One is to get food from shared dishes to place into individual bowls, and the other is for eating from individual bowls.The above new standards aim to protect the public health in a scientific and practical way. Over 200 companies have followed the guidelines. In order to encourage customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer parking coupons(优惠券) to those who use serving chopsticks.According to a survey about separate dining, nearly 89% of 100,000 interviewees believe it’s more hygienic(卫生的) because it reduces the risk of infection via saliva(唾液传染).For Chinese, it is not easy to change their dining behavior, because they think the grouped dining system is a tradition. When they share the food, they are building up a close relationship among diners. Besides, it is difficult to divide Chinese dishes into separate parts.Eating separately is a break from tradition, but it is helpful to prevent diseases and improve health. People can still sit at the same table, sharing the same food and the same culture in a new way.（1）．What is the purpose of the new standards?A．To protect the public health.B．To change the dinning traditions in China.C．To completely stop the pandemic.D．To encourage separate dinning at home.（2）．How do some restaurants encourage customers to use serving chopsticks?A．By offering free meals.B．By putting up posters in the restaurant.C．By giving customers small gifts.D．By reducing customers’ parking fees(费用).（3）．The following are the reasons why it’s not easy to change Chinese dinning behavior EXCEPT ________.A．Dining together is a tradition in China.B．People believe a close relationship can be developed when dinning together.C．Dividing Chinese dishes into separate parts is not easy.D．People care little about the public health.（4）．What’s the best title for the article?A．New Dinning Standards B．How COVID-19 Changes UsC．Chinese Dinning Culture D．Eating Together, Separately 4．The COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) outbreak is changing people’s traditional habits such as greetings and customs. People in different countries have had some new and creative choices. Knowing about this could help us understand their cultures and communicate with each other.FranceNewspapers have been filled with advice on how to replace (取代) handshaking and kissing on the cheek. Now looking into a person’s eyes can satisfy that as a greeting.RomaniaMartisor Festival marks the begmning of spring when the flowers and talismans (护身符) are handed out. But the government has told people to hand over the flowers and talismans without kissing.ChinaPeople are called on to greet each other through the Internet and not to get together if possible. They can join their hands together as a sign of greetings instead of shaking hands when they meet.IranA video has become popular. It shows that three friends are meeting. Two of them are wearing masks (口罩). Hands in their pockets, they tap their feet against each other as a greeting.AustraliaPeople are not advised to shake hands. And instead, they can give each other a pat on the back. “I won’t say Don’t kiss’, but you could be exercising a degree of care with whom you choose to kiss.” said an officer.（1）．How are Chinese people called on to greet each other?A．By greeting online. B．By handing out talismans. C．By tapping feet.（2）．In which country are people advised to pat others on the back?A．Romania. B．Iran. C．Australia.（3）．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Nobody wears masks in the video from Iran.B．Shaking hands is not advised in China or France.C．People in Romania welcome spring with only flowers now.（4）．What may be the common traditional way of greeting in France?A．Kissing on the cheek. B．Joining hands together. C．Looking into the eyes.（5）．According to the passage, what influence can COVID-19 have on people’s life?A．People might change their social behavior.B．People might value their traditional festivals more.C．People might spread cultures in different countries. 5．During COVID-19, we wear masks to keep us safe. However, many of us may face a problem we can’t eat when we wear a mask. Now an Israeli company has created a new invention—a mask that we can wear while eating and it keeps us from the virus(病毒).The mask has a remote-control(摇控的) mouth. You just need to press a button(按钮) to open a hole in the front of the mask so that food can pass through. When you take out your knife or fork, it will close. The company said the mask could protect people from the virus when they eat. It plans to start selling the mask at a price of 6 to 20 yuan higher than that of a common medical mask.People have different opinions about the mask. Ofir Hameiri, 32, says that it is a must-have because it allows him to eat while staying safe. However, Ron Silberstein, 29, thinks it won’t work when he eats the ice cream. He wouldn’t want to wear it because the mask might get dirty.What else have people come up with? Some other cool inventions were created during COVID-19. A Chinese company invented a special helmet(头盔). It can check out people with fevers from up to five meters away. At the same time, it can show the person’s name and medical history, and send this information to nearby hospitals. A Belgian 3D printing company created an invention. It allows people to open doors without using their hands. This way helps to avoid touching the virus.（1）．How does the mask by an Israeli company work well?A．By adding a mouth to the mask. B．By washing itself each time.C．By testing the virus from food. D．By putting a special fork in the mask.（2）．Why are Ofir Hameiri and Ron Silberstein mentioned in the passage?A．To prove everyone likes the mask. B．To show not everyone likes the mask.C．To tell people how to use the mask. D．To describe the importance of the mask.（3）．What are all the inventions in the passage used for?A．Killing the virus. B．Helping us feel great.C．Making our lives easier. D．Staying away from the virus.（4）．What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A．Everyone should wear a mask to keep safe during COVID-19.B．People have to keep safe and protect themselves during COVID-19.C．A few great inventions were created to keep us safe during COVID-19.D．People have different ideas about a special mask invented during COVID-19. 6．There is probably nothing more terrible than fighting an enemy that you cannot see. The novel coronavirus is one of these invisible enemies, and it has caused quite a bit of death. Ever since it was first found in Wuhan, Hubei in December, more than 44,000 people have been ill in China and other places in the world. As of Feb 11 this year, 1,113 people were reported killed within 31 provinces in China.But even if we cannot see the virus, we know how it behaves and spreads around, which is just like most other viruses. The first thing you can do to prevent any illness like this is to keep yourself clean, including wearing a mask and washing hands. By wearing a mask, you keep yourself away from the droplets coughed and sneezed by sick people. These droplets can spread the virus—as far as two meters!These droplets don’t stay in the air for long and then they can fall and land on surfaces, like tables or smartphones. They can also travel to buttons and doors by our hands. According to Jiang Rongmeng, a member of China’s National Health Commission expert group, the novel coronavirus can stay alive for quite a long time on smooth surfaces. And that’s why washing hands becomes so necessary. They might even stay alive for up to five days in proper conditions.According to People’s Daily, it’s reported that you might become ill even though patients look very healthy. There are no public health ways to tell who are danger because they don’t even know that they’re ill yet.In fact, the diseases can be terrible but it helps us develop better habits. After all, washing our hands is actually what we should be doing every day.（1）．How many people died of the virus as of February 11 this year?A．1,113. B．2,700. C．3,600. D．4,400.（2）．Which of the following statements is NOT RIGHT?A．Keeping clean is a good way to prevent the illness.B．The droplets can spread the virus about 2 meters.C．Even though you don’t cough or sneeze, you still need be afraid of illness.D．The virus can stay alive for about 5 days at any time anywhere.（3）．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “droplets” in the passage?A．灰尘 B．飞沫 C．病毒 D．细菌（4）．The passage is probably from ________.A．a magazine B．a storybook C．a newspaper D．a guidebook 7．When we were scared, sad and helpless,you gave us courage, warmth and hopes.When we had to stay at home to keep away from the illness,you, workers, helped us buy living things;Leaving your children behind,you worked in the neighbourhood every day;you never complained but smiled the whole day;When we needed all kinds of materials,you, drivers, drove them there without thinking twice;Running on the streets, between the cities,you made sure things went well as usual.When we had coughs and fevers,you, doctors and nurses, tried your best to save our lives;Looking after the patients in the hospital day and night,you never gave up until the sick got well.There are many people doing jobs in silence;There are many people giving hands without telling their names.Thanks for your hard work and selflessness.You’re the heroes of the times.You’re the most beautiful in our hearts.We love you!（1）．Who worked in the neighbourhood and helped us buy living things?A．Workers. B．Drivers C．Doctors D．Patients（2）．What does the writer describe the heroes of the times as ________?A．the politest people. B．the most beautiful people.C．the cleverest people. D．the most humorous people（3）．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this poem?A．To show his wishes B．To show his regrets C．To show his worries D．To show his thanks 8．Feng Bangli, who lives in Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected(怀疑)that he had been infected(感染)with the virus(病毒). He tried several times to be in hospital but failed. He finally gave up and stayed at home, taking medicine followed by doctors. At that time, “too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive(阳性)for COVID-19(新冠状病毒)and was sent to a temporary hospital(临时医院)for treatment. “Without such temporary hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng, who got better and was able to leave the temporary hospital in Wuchang district(地区)at the end of February after staying there for 12 days. Like Feng, more than 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 temporary hospitals, which were rebuilt from exhibition halls, sports centers and so on. These hospitals, which mainly received patients who are not serious, contained one in every four confirmed(确认的)COVID-19 patients in the city, said Ma Xiaowei. “Building temporary hospitals was a key decision made in the moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic(疫情)control, and it has played an important role in both preventing and treating the disease,” he said. Temporary hospitals have greatly reduced pressure on designated(指定的)hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang temporary hospital. Temporary hospitals have now been accepted in other countries. Eight temporary hospitals are being built in Iran(伊朗), to fight against the virus. The one rebuilt from the Iran shopping center, the largest shopping center in the country, is expected to have a total of 3,000 beds, according to People’s Daily. On March 29, a temporary hospital is rebuilt in Central Park in New York, where it will provide 68 hospital beds.“Considering the ways we can increase the number of hospital beds right now is important,” Dr. Andrew “If hospitals do become in shortage, and new hospitals need to be built up.”（1）．What point does the writer make by using Feng Bangli’s example?A．COVID-19 has infected a large number of people in a very short time.B．Hospitals should always be prepared for any unexpected situations.C．The COVID-19 outbreak happened suddenly without the slightest warning.D．temporary hospitals have played an important role in the fight against COVID-19.（2）．What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．new B．basic C．difficult D．strange（3）．Why did Wuhan build temporary hospitals during the outbreak of COVID-19, the followings are the reasons for it except _______.A．it has greatly reduced pressure on designated hospitals to receive and treat patientsB．it was needed for receiving and treating patientsC．Wuhan has a poor medical systemD．the designated hospitals became in shortage（4）．What did Dr. Andrew think of Iran’s and New York’s recent measures?A．They wasted resources. B．They were greatly helpful.C．They were not practical. D．They would not be as useful as China’s.（5）．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To praise China’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.B．To call on other countries to copy China’s method of fighting the virus.C．To show the value of building temporary hospitals to fight COVID-19.D．To compare the measures different countries have taken to deal with COVID-19. 9．Tang Jinzhi voluntarily rode a bike to the hospital while wearing a mask, hoping that he would not infect anybody since he’d had a fever of 38℃. On 10th June, 2020, Beijing was about to see the second round of COVID-19 outbreak. Tang, a 52-year-old Beijing resident (居民), became the first confirmed case of COVID-19 at Beijing Xinfadi Market, a huge wholesale food market. When receiving treatment, he detailed the places he’d been to since May 30th, which included a playground, a restaurant, a forest park, a shop, a delivery site and Xinfadi.Tang lived in Beijing’s Xicheng district (区) and thus was called “Xicheng Uncle”. He also received the title of “the strongest brain” from Chinese netizens (网民) after thoroughly recalling his whereabouts and close contacts in the past two weeks. In Wuhan where the pandemic (流行病) broke out in China, people stayed at home as much as possible to reduce (减少) cross infection. Later, they voluntarily wore masks, queued up late at night for nucleic acid testing, and kept social distance. In fact, residents of any city would be willing to make this kind of sacrifice to reduce the risk of infection for people throughout China.Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “The Chinese people always have love for the family and the nation, devote themselves wholeheartedly to public duty, believe that every man has a share of responsibility for his country.” For Chinese residents, they recognize these qualities as well. During an interview, Wuhan resident Wang Jun said, “I think the ordinary people are like soldiers in a battle, doing their job and guarding their posts. At that time we were ‘stationed’ at our own home, not to trouble those who were on the frontline in the war against the pandemic.”This might be a little hard for foreigners to understand. Some of them might ask: Why are the Chinese people so cooperative (配合的) with the government?“Xicheng Uncle” simply replied, “Only when the cells of society, the individuals, are running properly, can the whole society work normally.”（1）．What do you know about Tang Jinzhi from the passage?A．He is selfish and careless. B．He is honest and responsible.C．He is warm-hearted and happy. D．He is bad-hearted and helpless.（2）．Where had Tang Jinzhi been to since May 30th?①a playground   ②a forest park   ③a museum   ④a shop   ⑤a delivery site   ⑥a restaurantA．①②③④⑥ B．①③④⑤⑥ C．①②④⑤⑥ D．②③④⑤⑥（3）．What does the underlined word “infection” probably mean in Chinese?A．感染 B．影响 C．手术 D．风险（4）．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Beijing Xinfadi Market was the centre of the first round of COVID-19 outbreak.B．All the people weren’t willing to wear masks when the pandemic broke out in Wuhan.C．Tang has the title of “the strongest brain” because he is good at learning math at school.D．Foreigners can’t understand why Chinese people are so cooperative with the government.（5）．Which part of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A．Science Study. B．Art Style. C．Real Story. D．Sports World. 10．I want to tell you something about my father.
