B

You want to do what you can to protect yourself and others from the spread of the new coronavirus. You’re already washing your hands raw, bumping elbows instead of shaking hands, pressing elevator buttons with your knuckles, and valiantly fighting the urge to touch your face. What else can you do to fight Covid-19? Well, you could just work from home today instead of going to the office.

I know, I know: Most people can’t do that. Only 29% of U.S. workers in a 2017-18 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey said they had the option to do their jobs from home. Those who can tend to have much higher incomes and education levels than those who can’t. Doing your job via an internet connection is simply not a possibility for most people working in retail, food service, manufacturing, health care, and lots of other sectors.

According to the Bureau of Labor, 60% of people in management, business, and financial occupations can work from home. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you can WFH at least some of the time. There’s also a good chance your employer will be ordering or strongly encouraging you to stay away from the office in the near future, as several prominent tech companies already have. But you don’t have to wait.

Think of it as your own little contribution to lowering R0, the reproduction number, generally pronounced “r-naught.” R0 is the average number of people an infected person is likely to infect, thus determining whether an epidemic spreads (R0 > 1) or peters out (R0 < 1). It varies by disease, with measles at a spectacularly contagious 15 or so, and the average for the seasonal flu usually around 1.3. Current estimates of Covid-19’s R0 are in the 2s.

Changing behavior can change the effective R0, though. One way to think of R0 is that it’s the probability of infection given contact with an infectious person, multiplied by the contact rate, multiplied by the infectious duration. Hand-washing, elbow-bumping, and the like bring R0 down by lowering the probability of infection given contact with an infectious person. Working from home does it by reducing the number of contacts.

By not going to the office, and by staying off public transportation if that’s how you usually get there, you’re not just protecting yourself from the virus, you’re also protecting everyone who still has to go into work or take the train or bus. Such behavior is often labeled social distancing. It may feel a bit anti-social, but during an epidemic it’s actually quite pro-social.(430)

41. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as ______ .

A. slightly   B. warmly   C. strongly  D. hurriedly

42. According to what is said in paragraph 2, ______.

A. most of the workers can choose to work from home

B. about one third of the workers can work from home as an alternative

C. workers in food service are well connected to the internet

D. working from home means that you can’t have a high income

43. If R0 for the current covid-19 is 2.1, how many people will be infected in the first round by two confirmed covid-19 victim?

A. 2.    B. 4.    C. 6.   D. 8

44. In what way does working from home help lower R0?

A. It gives people the probability to keep contact.

B. It allows people to wash hands more often.

C. It keeps people away from contacts with the covid-19 carrier.

D. It changes people’s daily behaviors effectively.

45. What is the author’s attitude towards working from home?

A. Negative.   B. Doubtful.   C. Indifferent. D. Positive.

41-45 CBBCD

41. 词义猜测题。为预防感染所采取的措施，包括强制要求自己不去触摸脸部。

42. 细节理解题。根据Only 29% of U.S. workers in a 2017-18 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey said they had the option to do their jobs from home.确定。

43. 数字计算题。如果基本感染率为R0 2.1，说明一个确诊病人可以感染至少另外两个人。所以两个确诊病例，可以感染4个人。

44. 细节理解题。根据第五自然段Working from home does it by reducing the number of contacts.确定。

45. 推理判断题。根据最后一个自然段作者的表述判断。注意最后一句中but的转折。往往是but后面的话更有意义。pro-social的意义可以通过上文anti-social来判断。

　　Rachel Harrington wants her children to have nutritious packed lunches enjoy at school, but she gets discouraged trying to create them."Making lunches for my kids is one of my least favorite activities. I’d like to do it the night before but that never happens," said the mother of two. "There are a lot of complaints." It's hard work. She's happy to outsource (外包) two days a week to a business. “Having two days off is like a dream," she said. “Sometimes I forgot that it was a Red Apple Lunch day. When I realize I do not have to make lunches, I'm so happy.

　　Families around the country are finding new options for their children's lunches, thanks to a growing number of delivery options meeting the demands of students. Some deliver to the schools, others to homes. As for teens calling in their own food deliveries, some schools allow it and others don't. Lisa Farrell launched Red Apple Lunch after market research proved her doubt that lunch packing was a “stress point " for parents.“You only have so much time in the day," she said. “Some customers didn't like what was offered at the school. Folks just needed another option.” She and her team pack healthy lunches, combining local food when possible and deliver them to homes so that kids can take them to school the next two days. The company delivers two lunches on Monday and two on Wednesday.

　　When Spencer Wood's daughter forgot her lunch last spring, he arranged a Red Apple Lunch to deliver her a meal. “I called the school to make sure it was OK，and they said families do it all the time," said Mr. Wood, of Canal Winchester, Ohio. "They were very helpful." he said, adding that his daughter loved the special delivery of macaroni and cheese and told him not to forget to tip the driver.

第三部分：写作（共两节；满分25分）

第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

In a two-year study of normal-weight or slightly overweight adults aged 21 to 50, 143 participants were put on a diet designed to reduce their calorie intake by 25 percent (the rest ate their regular diet). For the first month, the dieters were fed at a clinical center, and for the first six months, they attended regular counseling sessions（咨询会）. With these aids, most were able to stick to their diets. But once those rules were removed, the dieters proved unable to maintain the same level of calorie restriction. By the end of the two years, 26 dieters had dropped out altogether; those remaining were able to cut their calorie intake by an average of only 12 percent, or about 300 calories per person per day.

And yet the study yielded one surprising and encouraging result. It turns out that even the smaller reduction of calories produced significant health benefits. The dieters lost an average of 16.5 pounds after the two years and reduced their insulin（胰岛素） resistance, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and other risk factors for cardiovascular problems. They also had lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation（感染） that has been associated with heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.

William Kraus, MD, the study’s lead author and a distinguished professor of cardiovascular genomics at Duke University, wasn’t surprised that the weight loss offered some benefit to the subjects’ heart health. “But,” he says, “we didn’t expect the degree of improvement we saw.”

51. What was the aim of the specially designed diet? (no more than 10 words)

52. How were the participants able to stick to their diet? (No more than 15 words)

53. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean? (1 word)

54. What did William Kraus expect of the study? ( no more than 10 words)

55. Could you stay until the end of the study if you were one of the subjects? Why? (no more than 20 words)

【答案解析】

51. To reduce their calorie intake by 25 percent.

52. By eating at a clinical center and attending regular counseling sessions.

53. Produced. / Caused.

54. The weight loss offered some benefit to the subjects’ heart health.

55. Yes, I could. Because I know losing weight would do me good.

   No, I couldn’t. Because I like to eat rich food.

Looking back on my middle school years, there are many people(things) that have influenced me a lot.______________        ____________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

【答案解析】

范文1：

Looking back on my middle school years, there are many people(things) that have influenced me a lot. One of these people is my senior high school Chinese teacher, who has taught me not only knowledge but also the idea of being a useful man. In my opinion, no other Chinese teacher can compare with him in terms of his effective teaching approaches. He can always think of an idea that can get us actively involved in his class. Besides, he has been giving us useful advice on how to live a meaningful life. He has taught us to be confident in ourselves no matter what difficulty we may encounter. In a word, I really think that my senior high school Chinese teacher is the most influential teacher in my life. (113 words)

范文-2

Looking back on my middle school years, there are many people(things) that have influenced me a lot. One of them is an activity which was held when we were still senior grade one students. It was a weekend. The school took us to the training centre where we learnt practical skills. I chose to assemble bicycle wheels. It looked easy at first, because the teacher did it so skillfully and finished the work in a very short time. But when I really began to assemble a bicycle wheel by myself, I found that it was not as easy as it originally looked. Sometimes, I had to stop to ask the teacher for advice. Finally I succeeded in assembling a bicycle wheel, in which I took great pride. From this activity I have learnt that we can eventually achieve our aims if we have the strong belief that we can accomplish our aims. ( 135 words)
