三、阅读单选

A

In difficult times, there are always people who step up and bring people hope and confidence. One of them is Zhong Nanshan.

"Please don't travel to Wuhan unless it's absolutely necessary," Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, an 84-year-old man, took the train to Wuhan to fight the disease.

Known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003, Zhong's image and messages are flooding (遍布) social media. Many people say they "trust every word of Zhong". He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle.

A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues (同事) to send their most serious patients to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted (采纳) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People's Daily reported.

Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar. In 2003, when authorities (官方) said that the SARS virus was under control, he publicly refuted their statement. "It's not all under control," Zhong said in a later interview. His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.

Back to the frontlines

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong doesn't seem worried about his own safety.

On Jan 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People's Daily wrote, "the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation."

26．What can we know about Zhong Nanshan from the passage except        ?

A．He is an expert. B．He is confident. C．He is greedy. D．He is brave.

27．What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?       

A．He developed the test kit for the disease. 

B．He treated the most serious patients online.

C．His treatment plan saved lots of people. 

D．He started that SARS was under control.

28．What does the underlined word "refute" mean?       

A．To support others' opinions. 

B．To say that a statement was not true.

C．To laugh at the authorities. 

D．To be in the fight against the epidemic (流行病).

29．What has Zhong done to fight the disease?       

A．He made certain that the virus could spread between humans.

B．He treated four severe patients in a day.

C．He treated five patients online alone.

D．The test kit from his team can show results within 15 seconds.

30．The aim of the story is to        .

环保主义者——蕾切尔·卡逊

Rachel Carson(1907-1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有毒的) chemicals on farmland.

Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951, she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.

Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way Americans thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Prize.

In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.
