They added that the cuntry’s dynamic zer-case plicy shuld cntinue t be enfrced this winter and spring, as new mdeling shws that drpping it prematurely wuld risk causing “a huge utbreak”.
Wu Zunyu, a chief epidemilgist, said the new variant appears t be mre cntagius（传染的）than the Delta variant due t its exceptinally high number f spike mutatins.
“But n matter hw the virus mutates, regular public health measures, such as wearing masks, maintaining scial distancing and washing hands, will be effective against all variants,” Wu said.
Zhang Wenhng, a well-knwn dctr frm Shanghai, said China’s current “rapid respnse and dynamic zering f new infectins” can deal with all variants.
The strategy has als enabled China t win a windw f pprtunity in terms f building up scientific supprt t fight the virus, he said. Onging wrk includes increasing reserves f vaccines（疫苗）and drugs t supprt the glbal battle against the pandemic, and bsting inventries（存货）f China’s public health and medical resurces.
Accrding t Wu Zunyu, China’s verall epidemic situatin remains stable and under cntrl against a backdrp f surging infectins glbally. “This remarkable utcme is largely due t the central apprach f interrupting the spread f the virus, blcking new utbreaks and implementing quarantine（隔离）fr incming travelers,” he said.
“By the mst cnservative estimates, the strategy had avided 47.8 millin COVID-19 infectins and 950, 000 related deaths in China,” he said.
As the utlk fr the pandemic remains serius fr this winter and spring, Wu said these measures shuld cntinue t be enfrced.
“Adjustment（调整）f virus cntrl measures shuld be dne extremely carefully and with every detail and prcedure being taken int cnsideratin, s as t avid making mistakes r taking the wrng path,” he said.

China, where s far nly Hng Kng has reprted cases, is calmly and cnfidently respnding t pssible challenges with vaccine (疫苗) study and the experience gt frm China’s zer-COVID plicy.
Chinese bservers said that China will benefit frm its COVID-19 plicy f preventing cases frm hme and abrad which cntinues t shw its unique advantages facing Omicrn. In cmparisn, bservers reminded that Western cuntries are likely t be affected by Omicrn if the variant is highly infectius (感染的), with their unscientific epidemic (流行病) cntrl measures and vercnfidence in vaccines, which has led t the rapid spread f the new variant, an expert tld Glbal Times n Tuesday.

（江苏省六校2021-2022学年高三下学期期初联合调研考试英语试卷）The Omicrn Cvid variant has been fund t multiply abut 70 times quicker than the riginal and Delta versins f crnavirus in tissue samples taken frm the brnchus(支气管), the main tubes frm the windpipe t the lungs, in labratry experiments that culd help explain its rapid transmissin.
The study, by a team frm the University f Hng Kng, als fund that the new variant grew 10 times slwer in lung tissue, which the authrs said culd be an indicatr f lwer disease severity.
Michael Chan, wh led the wrk, said the result needed t be interpreted with cautin because severe disease is determined nt nly by hw quickly the virus replicates(复制) but als by a persn’s immune respnse. “It is als nted that by infecting many mre peple, a very infectius virus may cause mre severe disease and death even thugh the virus itself may be less pathgenic(致病的),” he said. “Therefre, taken tgether with ur recent studies shwing that the Omicrn variant can partially escape immunity frm vaccines and past infectin, the verall threat frm the Omicrn variant is likely t be very significant.”
Jeremy Kamil, an assciate prfessr f micrbilgy and immunlgy at Luisiana State University Health Shreveprt, pinted ut that Delta, which turned ut t be mre pathgenic, shwed a similar pattern f replicating mre slwly in the lungs. “These authrs fund Omicrn replicates fantastically well--even far better than either Delta r the riginal virus--in brnchial tissue,” Kamil said. “This culd in sme ways cntribute t an advantage in transmissin between peple.”
Kamil added, “Of curse, a huge cmpnent f Omicrn’s transmissibility in real life is ging t be its ptential t escape neutralising antibdies that prtect against infectin in the first place. It’s very likely spreading well even between vaccinated peple, especially thse wh haven’t recently gtten a bster sht.”
The findings, tgether with ther recent wrk shwing Omicrn infects cells mre readily, add t an emerging picture that the variant may be intrinsically mre transmissible in additin t escaping existing immunity.
9．What is the kind f the passage?
A．A news reprt.B．A science fictin.
C．A health guide.D．A medicine advertisement.
10．What culd Jeremy Kamil agree with?
A．We shuld take the result seriusly.
B．Omicrn may cause mre severe disease and death.
C．Bth Omicrn and Delta grew slwly in the lungs.
D．Thse wh have gtten a bster sht wn’t be infected.

A．It is a new variant f Delta.
B．Delta is less pathgenic than it.
C．Vaccinated peple needn’t wrry abut it.
D．It may pse a great threat t peple’s health.

14．
细节理解题。根据第四段Dr. Francis Cllins，“Cllins, alng with several experts, said that the news shuld make everyne reduble their effrts t use the tls the wrld already has, including vaccinatins, bster shts and measures such as mask-wearing.”（Cllins和其它几位专家说，这条新闻应该让每个人加倍努力来使用这个世界已有的工具，包括接种疫苗，加强针的注射和像戴口罩的措施。）可知，证明人们应该重视使用现有的防疫工具，即现有防疫措施是有效的。故选D。
15．
细节理解题。根据第五段“they g against the advice f the WHO. It has warned against any verreactin befre the variant is thrughly studied”（他们违背世界卫生组织的建议。在彻底研究这个变异体之前，它已经警告过任何过度反应。） 可知，证明世卫组织反对各国对新冠变种过度反应。故选A。
16．
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cases f the micrn variant f the crnavirus ppped up in cuntries”（奥密克戎变种病例在世界各国突然出现）可知，这篇文章主要围绕更多的奥密克戎病例的出现展开的陈述。故选C。
