    Bill Gates on how to fight future pandemics
    WHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will probably take up only the first third or so.The bulk of the story will be what happens next.
    I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated(接种疫苗）.Until then, life will not return to normal.
    As the pandemic slows in developed nations,itwill accelerate in developing ones.Their experience,however,will be worse.In poorer countries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing measures won't work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems won't be able to care for the infected.
    Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective medical solution for this virus,which means a vaccine.
    My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If that's the case,it will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a new disease to immunizing（免疫）against it.
    Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.
    The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which they'll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.
    All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预）early when the number of cases is still very low.
    Our progress won't be in science alone.It will also be in our ability to make sure everyone benefits from that science.In the years after 2021,I think we'll learn from the years after 1945. With the end of the Second World War,
    leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19, leaders will prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.
    These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.I expect they will participate in regular"germ games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games.These will keep us ready for the next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.
    I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations,especially by devoting more foreign aid to building up their primary health-care systems.This pandemic has shown us that viruses don't obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs,whether we like it or not.
    The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britainhad just won its first land victory of the war,and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.But it is,perhaps,the end of the beginning.”
    4. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic? ①manufacturing a vaccine fast ②diagnosing a virus at home ③developing antiviral drugs ④allowing us to intervene early A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
    5. As far as poorer countries areconcerned,which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A. pandemic disease is more likely to begin in poorer countries B. Working from home can work well in poorer countries.
    C. Health systems are sufficient to care for the infected in poorer countries. D. Virus will cross borders if poorer countries fail to contain it. 6. Why is the Second World War mentioned in Para.8?
    A. The fight against the COVID-19 is similar to the Second World War. B. People are suffering just as they were in the Second World War. C. We should cooperate globally just as we did after the Second World War. D. Countries are fighting each other like in the Second World War. 7. What is the tone of this passage? A. pessimistic B. optimistic

    C. neutral D. indifferent
    C
    Yu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶 in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉 of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.
    Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.
    When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.
    To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料 every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.
    Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺. Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”
    8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Yu is equipped with various skills. B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor. C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide. D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft. 9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing? A. He couldn't make a living out of it.

    B. He wanted to pursue his own dream. C. He missed his family in Chengdu. D. He thought he had a lot experience.
    10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist? A. The fruits he grows. B. Success of his business. C. His devotion to the job. D. Observation from daily life. 11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?
    A. There is no end to learning. B. Great hopes make great man.
    C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
    D
    The health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
    Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
    After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
    In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的 physical activity in a week.
    Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.
    Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term. 12. How is the study conducted?

    A. By doing comparative experiments. B. By analyzing previous data.
    C. By evaluating survey information. D. By tracking participants for a long time. 13. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to? A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
    C. Individual sports. D. Traditional sports. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
    A. Few people will play football. B. Tennis will become more popular.
    C. The result of this study is wrong. D. The study needs to be further improved. 15. What does the author advise people to do?
    A. Stick to any sport that you like. B. Play badminton and tennis only. C. Stop running and playing football. D. Do any sport according to guidelines. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
