Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control

l Keep distance with people when talking

 The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before falling to the

ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping

1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.

l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected

Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch

your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.

l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous

Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission

through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After

removing the packaging, please wash your hands.

l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus

The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity

of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear

a mask and take other protective measures.

l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus

Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for

over 30 minutes.

l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer

 It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter

time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb

the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.

After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.

31. What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?

A. Wear a mask.

B. Take a hot bath.

C. Open packages.

D. Dry the clothes.

32. According to the passage, the following sentences are right EXCEPT that _____.

A. the virus is vulnerable to heat

B. the virus can be transmitted via droplets

C. the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces

D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays

33. We can probably read this passage from _____.

A. a textbook

B. an advertisement

C. a travel brochure

D. a science magazine

B
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs

croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her

eyes and looked around. ''Hello? '' she called. ''Celia? Marie? '' There was no response.

The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it ''Forgotten Island'' because

no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the

forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river,

was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie. But now Lina was here alone, and it was night.

Worse still, it was her own fault.

''Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. '' Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a
hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal

took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So

they got back in the boat and left.

A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here.

As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by

herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.

Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's

dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the

worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.

In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast

the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at

Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.

34. What is special about the island?

A. It is very near the ocean.

B. It is a popular place for boating.

C. It is surrounded by thick forest.

D. It has never been reached by others.

35 Why did Lina get angry？

A. Lina was left alone on the island.

B. Marie would not help row the boat.

C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.

D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.

36. What caused Lina to feel scared?

A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.

B. The first raindrop of the approaching storm.

C. The idea that no one would come to save her.

D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.

37. What can we infer about the three girls?

A. All of them could swim well.

B. They had an adventurous spirit.

C. They lived far away from the island.

D. They quarreled with one another badly.

C
 For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects

that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and

that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.

So what’s the solution? Robots.

Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed

Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items, and retrieve

records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data.

This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal

patient contact.

Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive functioning, but the robot

itself doesn't have to engage directly—it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence

robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing

family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot's ''face''

would be. If you can't get to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with

her. A 2016 study found that users had a ''consistently positive attitude'' about the Giraff robot's ability to enhance

communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.

A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI

Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks a huge

teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as ''Robear'', can help patients into and out

of wheelchairs and beds with its strong arms. On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so

human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in

its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its

interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot

and “only three or four said they didn't like having it around.”

It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot

doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to

attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to

collaboration, not replacement.

38. What does the author say about Japan?

A. It delivers the best medication for the elderly.

B. It takes the lead in providing robotic care.

C. It provides retraining for registered nurses.

D. It sets the trend in future robotics technology.

39 What are telepresence robots designed to do?

A. Directly interact with patients to prevent them from feeling lonely.

B. Cater to the needs of patients for recovering their cognitive capacity.

C. Closely monitor the patients' movements and conditions around the clock.

D. Facilitate communication between patients and doctors or family members.

40. What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F?

A. It interacts with patients just like a human companion.

B. It operates quietly without patients realizing its presence.

C. It likes to engage in everyday conversations with patients.

D. It uses body language even more effectively than words.

41. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Doctors and surgeons will soon be laid off.

B. The robotics industry will soon take off.

C. Robots will not make nurses unnecessary.

D. Cooperation will not replace completion.

D
In the last decade a revolution has occurred in the way that scientists think about the brain. We now know

that the decisions humans make can be traced to the firing patterns of neurons in specific parts of the brain. These

discoveries have led to the field known as neuroeconomics, which studies the brain’s secrets to success in an

economic environment that demands innovation and being able to do things differently from competitors. A brain

that can do this is an iconoclastic one. Briefly, an iconoclast is a person who does something that others say can't

be done. Neuroscientists have suggested that iconoclastic brains are different in three ways: perception, fear

response, and social intelligence.

To understand how iconoclastic brains work, we first need to realize that the brain suffers from limited

resources. It has a fixed energy budget, so it has evolved to work as efficiently as possible. When faced with

information streaming from the eyes, the brain will interpret this information in the quickest way possible. Thus it

will draw on both past experience and other source of information, such as what other people say, to make sense

of what it is seeing. The brain takes shortcuts that work so well we are hardly aware of them. We think our

perceptions of the world are real, but they are only the products of the brain's interpretation.

Perception is central to iconoclasm. Iconoclasts see things differently to other people. Their brains do not fall
into efficiency pitfalls as much as the average person's brain. The best way to see things differently is to bombard

(轰炸) the brain with things it has never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the

chains of past experience and forces the brain to make new judgments. Successful iconoclasts have an

extraordinary willingness to embrace what is fresh while most people avoid things that are different.

The problem with novelty, however, is that it tends to trigger (触发) the brain's fear system.

There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic thinking are fear of uncertainty and fear of

public ridicule. The fear of public speaking troubles one-third of the population. It is simply a common feature of

human nature, one which iconoclasts do not let stop their reactions.

Finally, to be successful iconoclasts, individuals must sell their ideas to other people. This is where social

intelligence comes in. Social intelligence is the ability to understand and manage people in a business setting.

Neuroscience has revealed which brain parts are responsible for functions like empathy, fairness, and social

identity. These brain regions play key roles in whether people convince others of their ideas.

Iconoclasts supply creativity and innovation not easily accomplished by others, creating new opportunities in

every area from art to technology to business. It is crucial for success in any field to understand how the

iconoclastic mind works.

42. Neuroeconomics is a field of study which aims to _______.

A. understand how decisions are made in the brain

B cause a change in how scientists understand the brain

C. trace the firing patterns of neurons in different parts of the brain

D. understand how the brain is linked to achievement in an economic environment.

43. According to the author, an iconoclastic thinker _______.

A has more opportunities than the average person

B. B. relies on previous events to make smart decisions

C. has a brain that functions differently to other people

D. centralizes perceptual thinking in one part of the brain

44. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means the iconoclasts' brains _______.

A. work more efficiently than the average person's brain

B. interpret information more accurately than the average person's brain

C. do not have a fixed energy budget as the average person's brain

D. D. do not take perceptual shortcuts as much as the average person's brain

45. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. One-third of the population are too shy to do public speaking.

B. Exposure to different events forces the brain to think differently.

C. If you think in an iconoclastic way, you can easily overcome fear.

D. Social intelligence is more a matter of personality than brain function.

Cool Butterfly Effect: Insect Equipment Could Inspire Heat-Radiating Tech

Devising better cooling materials has become a pressing issue as the climate warms, and some scientists are

turning to nature for ideas. Small creatures with low body mass, such as insects, have to deal with the fact that

they warm up much faster than large mammals. When butterflies land on tree branches in the sun, for example,

their relatively large wings can overheat within seconds.

___46___ Researchers have now uncovered these colorful insects' built-in cooling mechanisms.

Heat is generated by the vibration of molecules. The more molecules a material can expose on its surface, the

more heat it can release in a process called radiative cooling. Those made of folded layers shaped like waves, for

example, cool off much faster than solid objects because they have more exposed surface area. ___47___ The

wings themselves are complex systems that contain both living and nonliving structures, covered by various types

of scales made of chitin—a rigid substance that is also found in some fungi(真菌). The researchers found that the

scales covering these structures have different shapes that radiate heat in different ways. ___48___

The scientists' work is ''remarkable'', says Aaswath Raman, a professor at the University of California, Los

Angeles. ''___49___ Butterfly wings are extremely light, and the microstructures involved are extremely small and

thin. So this discovery can inspire ways of getting rid of heat in very lightweight systems. ''

___50___ It might work in a variety of colors. Many conventional buildings tend to be white because that it

does not absorb heat. But painting too many things white does not look pleasing, says Qiaoqiang Gan, a photonics

scientist. ''We still need a colorful world, '' Gan says, noting how vivid butterflies are in nature. ''Butterfly wings

give us an example that colorful structures can also result in cooling. ''

A. So they have evolved sophisticated ways to cool themselves.

B. We can make these microstructures into our own artificial processes.

C. It turns out that parts of butterflies' wings exploit a similar principle.

D. To decipher how these complex systems work, the team studied several types of butterflies

E. Such structures release warmth very efficiently, protecting the organs from overheating.

F. Along with its light weight, a butterfly-inspired cooling material might have another advantage.

G. Although far from a commercial application, such resulting material could eventually be used for purposes such

as painting buildings.
