On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (教育部公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect (影响) children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where some courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computers or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also needed to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also needed for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
1.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _______.
A.children may be infected by virus B.they don't like the idea of online learning
C.children's study may be affected D.parents have no time to look after children
2.Except for learning at home, what is also needed according to the writer?
A.To keep playing online games. B.To keep touching different people.
C.To do some physical exercises outside. D.To teach children about health knowledge.
3.The underlined word "suspension" in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.
A.plan B.stop C.growth D.change
4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Students would rather go to school.
B.Online teaching will help students study.
C.Parents believe children can teach themselves.
D.Local education departments didn't organize online teaching.
5.What's the best title for this passage?
A.A Special Way to Learn at Home. B.A New War with a New Chance.
C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy. D.A Method to Make Parents Worried.

I have been working at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for the past 20 years. My day starts at 5:30, when I have two cups of black coffee while listening to the radio. Recently, I've been using the morning to work on a book I'm currently writing. I'm in the hospital just before 8:00. If it's a nice day, I'll cycle the fifteen miles to my office, but my favorite way of getting to work is on my motorbike.
My week is divided into operating and non-operating days. Monday and Tuesday are my operating days and I like to come in early and stay late to check the progress of my patients. During the rest of the week, I'm in clinics or working in research.
On a typical operating day, I will conduct two to three operations. Some of the complex operations can take as long as ten to twelve hours. In certain cases, I think about them days, or even weeks, in advance.
Last week, I had one of these cases which took a lot of thinking through (充分考虑) beforehand. The patient was a young man who had a rare congenital heart abnormality (先天性心脏畸形). He needed an operation urgently, or he would probably die. I planned the operation in my head while at the dentist's.
Like many other doctors, I am always on call for my patients. When I do get to have some time to myself, I enjoy creating crossword puzzles (纵横填字游戏). I even make them for The Guardian!

Clouds are an ordinary sight. However, this Dutch artist makes his own.
Berndnaut Smilde creates clouds in locations where nature would never place them. The interior (内部) of a church or museum looks different behind a cloud. And an everyday cloud looks unusual in a castle. The art project explores the beauty of clouds. Each scene lasts only five seconds before it disappears.
The ingredients (成分) for Smilde's clouds: just smoke and water vapor (水蒸气). The artist requires a cold and wet space with no wind. Otherwise the clouds will never form or will fall straight to the ground.
Once a cloud is formed, Smilde will run around it and turn it into a shape about three meters across and 1.8 meters tall. Then, he will step back far enough to take several pictures. Smilde will not stop until he is happy with the results. Usually, he creates a dozen clouds at a time.
Many people are interested in Smilde's project. Some ask him to create clouds for them at a party or a wedding ceremony. Smilde, however, often refuses the invitations. He says he only creates clouds when the setting (背景) offers him something fresh. The artist doesn't just want people to stare in wonder at his clouds. He also wants people to appreciate the transience of life. For the clouds, they exist only for a moment and then are gone forever.
Each creation is "about being at the right place at the right time," Smilde says. "If you are seeing a photo, you have already missed it."
1.The ingredients for Berndnaut Smilde's clouds include _______.
A.soap and paint B.smoke and water vapor
C.soap and smoke D.paint and water vapor
2.In what order does Smilde carry out his art project?
a. Form a cloud
b. Take pictures
c. Turn the cloud into a special shape
d. Look for a cold and wet space with no wind
A.a-b-d-c B.a-d-b-c C.d-a-b-c D.d-a-c-b
3.Smilde often refuses the invitations when people ask him to create clouds for them because _______.
A.the settings they offer cannot provide him with something fresh
B.they are not willing to pay him lots of money for creating clouds
C.the settings they offer are not big enough for him to create clouds
D.the places they offer are not cold or wet enough for him to create clouds
4.The underlined word "transience" in paragraph 5 probably means"_______".
A.the quality of being pure B.the quality of being large
C.the quality of being long-lived D.the quality of being short-lived
5.What's the best title of this passage?

It's 4:54 a. m. on a November morning in 2016 in Yosemite National Park, the United States. The moon shone over the south-west face of El Capitan. Alex Honnold was alone. He held on tightly to the rock with nothing but the tips of his fingers and two thin edges of shoe rubber. He was trying to do something that had been considered impossible-a "free solo" (徒手攀岩) up the world's most dangerous cliff.
Some people think free soloing is a meaningless sport. The sport, they say, has claimed the lives of many professional climbers. Others think mastering a mountain with only excellent physical and mental skill is the essence of climbing. Such was the attitude of Paul Preuss. Preuss was the father of free soloing. By the age of 27, he had made about 150 ropeless climbs He was admired (钦佩) throughout Europe. Then, on October 3,1913, he fell to his death while free soloing a cliff in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山).
But Preuss's ideas lived on. They have influenced generations of climbers. In the 1960s, the "free climbing" movement was born. The movement supports using ropes and other gears (设备) but only as safety devices. The next serious free soloist appeared in 1973. Henry Barber climbed a 460-meter-tall rock in Yosemite without a rope. In 1987, Peter Croft, a Canadian, free soloed two of Yosemite's most dangerous routes in one day.
Croft's achievement stood until 2007. That year, 22-year-old Honnold showed up in Yosemite. He surprised the world by repeating Croft's masterpiece. The next year, he free soloed two famously difficult routes in America. The routes were so dangerous that no one had imagined they could be climbed without a rope.
Now, as fans celebrate his achievements, Honnold is preparing for his next big goal. Thousands of moves are still to come. Honnold is on his way to completing the greatest rock climb in history.
1.How many ropeless climbs had Paul Preuss made by the age of 27? _______.
2.On October 3,1931, Preuss _______.
3.The "free climbing" movement was born _______.
4.Alex Honnold repeated Peter Croft's masterpiece _______.
5.Now, Honoold is on his way to _______.

Why is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just c1. the difference between "Let's eat, Grandma!" and "Let's eat Grandma!" With the first one, you are i2. your grandma over for a lovely meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism (同类相食).
Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is not n3. They argue that as long as they are being understood, it should not matter w4. there are a few grammatical errors or not.
But I don't think so. I believe good grammar matters.
Thinking about your grammar when you are writing which makes you easier to be understood. You may think a grammatical, error doesn't matter. But think about it from the reader's point of view. E5. a small error can make your reader stop and read the message again. He or she will have to spend more time understanding it.
Good English grammar will help develop your overall English s6.. Being able to speak and write correctly, over time, builds your confidence while using English. This will encourage you to increase your vocabulary. With good grammar and a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier to express your ideas and communicate with n7. speakers.
Good grammar can also make you more reliable(可信赖的). Just think about your attitudes towards a newspaper that has many grammatical errors in its a8.. You will doubt if the information in the newspaper is reliable, won't you?
The same is true on a personal l9.. Your writing represents (代表) who you are. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that you don't care about your work. This makes them less likely to t10. you.
I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar.
