21、Artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to spot the next virus to jump from animals to humans, Scottish researchers report.

Identifying diseases before they become a threat to humans is challenging, because only a few of the nearly 2 million animal viruses can infect humans. By developing machine learning models, researchers can analyze genetic patterns of viruses that might infect people. “Our findings show that the zoonotic (动物传染人的) potential of viruses can be inferred to a surprisingly large extent from their genome sequence (基因组序列).” the researchers at the University of Glasgow reported. “By highlighting viruses with the greatest potential to become zoonotic, genome-based ranking allows further ecological and virological characterization to be targeted more effectively.”

The researchers said the models are only a first step in identifying animal viruses with the potential to infect humans, however. Viruses flagged by the models will need laboratory test confirmation before researchers pursue funding for further study. Although these models may predict if viruses might infect humans, that’s only one part of the broader risk. Zoonotic risk is also influenced by how destructive a virus is in humans, as well as its ability to transmit between people, and ecological conditions at the time of human exposure.

The findings were published online in the journal PLoS Biology. Co-author Simon Babayan said these findings add important information to that collected from genetic sequencing of viruses using AI techniques. “The more viruses are characterized, the more effective our machine learning models will become at identifying the rare viruses that ought to be closely monitored and prioritized for vaccine development.” Babayan added.

【1】What is the significance of genome-based ranking?

A．To identify viruses which have threatened humans.

B．To discover human viruses that can infect animals.

C．To highlight viruses with the slightest chances to become zoonotic.

D．To target ecological and virological characterization more effectively.

【2】What can be inferred from the third paragraph?

A．The fund for further study has been put in place.

B．There is still a long way to go for AI models to function ideally.

C．Viruses flagged by the models have been confirmed by researchers.

D．Viruses’ transmission ability is the most influential factor for zoonotic risk.

【3】What is Simon Bybayan’s attitude towards the findings?

A．Positive.

B．Ambiguous.

C．Indifferent.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A．AI Models Spot Various Viruses in Nature.

B．AI Models Monitor Vaccine Development.

C．AI Models Predict Potential Zoonotic Viruses.

D．AI Models Cure Potential Zoonotic Diseases.

22、Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.

The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smart phones can both send out and receive. If a person tests positive（阳性）for COVID-19，they could inform public health authorities through an app. Those public health apps would then alert anyone whose smart phones had come near the infected person's phone in the prior 14 days. The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.

The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users' privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. "Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort," the companies said in a joint statement.

The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of "destruction of privacy". In a statement on Friday, ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said," The system also can't work well if people don't trust it". She said that the joint Apple and Google project "appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement." She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.

Public health officials say the contact tracing -finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter in-place restrictions.

It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.

【1】What is the main purpose of the passage？

A．to advertise for public health.

B．to introduce a contact tracing system.

C．to warn the public of risks of COVID-19.

D．to raise people's awareness of privacy protection.

【2】What do the companies promise to do in particular？

A．warn people who test positive.

B．protect infected people's private information.

C．work with public health authorities.

D．collect data on users’ physical locations.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to Jennifer Granick？

A．Public health issues are traced accurately.

B．Only people's trust influences the system.

C．The worst privacy risks has been reduced.

D．Jennifer thinks the system should be better.

【4】The system is mainly designed to ______.

A．ensure infected people's recovery

B．guarantee people's normal activities

C．help prevent the spread of COVID-19

D．encourage all the people to isolate themselves

23、Today the paper industry has, like many others, been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. But the industry is expected to bounce back in 2022, and by 2023, it’s predicted to reach new heights of $1, 031 billion. Here’s how that might happen.

The world was affected by the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, as people rushed to pile up this bathroom product. In reality, there was never a true shortage. It’s not clear exactly why the mass hysteria occurred.

To nobody’s surprise, today the tissue market is still booming. Demand for toilet paper, tissues and paper towels has been growing for years. As an added bonus, many companies are now branching out into medical tissue papers. Some have temporarily switched to surgical face masks and gowns to meet the demand for personal protection equipment.

But there’s more surprising medical use for paper: rapid tests. The system is widely used for many routine tests, such as to detect pregnancy and HIV. And there are already rapid tests out there that use paper to identify if a person has developed antibodies to Covid-19.

Equally, food hygiene has become more of a concern. There has been a sharp decrease in the number of customers wanting to reach into a pot to fetch spoons, forks or straws for obvious reasons, causing restaurants to use more and more disposable packaging. Meanwhile, schools have started to provide paper lunch boxes so that students don’t need to eat all together in a canteen.

Then there’s art. After months of lockdowns and disruption to social calendar, practical hobbies such as DIY, crafts, art and baking have recently experienced a renaissance. Some paper companies have seen more interest in paper for education, art and design.

Of course, some aspects of paper production have taken more of a hit.

“We supply a lot of paper that ends up in hotel, so we’ve seen a drop in sales,” says Nick Bizzell, the director of London-based Bizzell Paper. But Bizzell is still optimistic. He pointed out that demand for certain types of paper, such as the A4 kind used in offices, has been shrinking for decades, after losing the battle against computers. But overall the paper industry is growing.

Paper is now protecting us from viral infections and boredom, and it will always be a valuable material in our life.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “the mass hysteria” probably refer to?

A．The mass production of toilet paper in 2020.

B．The true shortage of toilet paper caused by the public.

C．The effect of Covid-19 on the paper industry.

D．The unreasonable storage of toilet paper among the public.

【2】Which of the following have witnessed an increasing demand for paper?

A．Rapid tests and physical checkup.

B．Surgical face masks and eating tools.

C．Medical protection equipment and food packaging.

D．The treatment of Covid-19 and pregnancy detection.

【3】What causes more use of paper in art?

A．Being unable to socialize.

B．The promotion of paper companies.

C．Being interested in art education.

D．The marketing strategies of paper companies.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A．Paper industry on the decline.

B．Paper industry in the recovery.

C．The blow of Covid-19 to the paper industry.

D．The effect of medicine on the paper industry.

24、Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.

As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

【1】Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_______.

A. new materials learned from teachers

B. ways to develop relationship with teachers

C. benefits in getting along with teachers

D. avoiding problems happening around kids

【2】What’s the writer’s attitude towards getting along with teachers?

A. Doubtful.   B. Objective.

C. Uncaring.   D. Favorable.

【3】What can we know from the passage?

A. Kids are unable to understand lots of exciting information.

B. Kids are bullied while communicating with others in schools.

C. Kids will leave the class when not doing quite well with their teachers.

D. Kids will leave the class when not satisfied with teachers’ teaching methods.

【4】The passage is most probably taken from______.

A. children’s literature   B. an education magazine

C. a science report   D. an advertisement
