We've seen a worldwide health crisis (危机) bring out the worst in some people, but fortunately, we've also been able to see it bring out the best in others.

A taxi driver in Spain has been providing COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) patients with free rides to and from the hospitals. Doctors and nurses wanted to surprise him with their thanks for helping out.

They tricked him down to the hospital under the pretense of needing to pick up a sick patient, but in reality, doctors and nurses lined the hall waiting to applaud (鼓掌) him.

“This is a surprise that has been given to a taxi driver who takes patients to the hospitals without charge,” wrote the taxi company that first shared the video.

The man seemed completely taken aback by the gesture, stopping in the middle of the doors as the whole room cheered for him.

He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19 test.

The video has since been shared tens of thousands of times across the world, because kind gestures break the language barrier (障碍).

“When the crisis is finished, there will have been two types of people... the good and the bad,” one user wrote. “With workmates like him, I am proud to be a taxi driver, son of a taxi driver, and father of a taxi driver.”

With the word in hard times, just knowing good people are there doing good deeds is something we can all appreciate.

A.the driver took doctors to and from the hospitals

B.the taxi company ticked the driver to pick up a patient

If you take a look around your kitchen or office right now, chances are that you’ll notice you’re surrounded by plastic—water bottles, to-go coffee cups, straws, plastic grocery bags, food wrappers, take-out containers, single-serve coffee pods and produce bags. 1.．

It’s certainly not realistic to remove all plastic from your life, but let’s examine some statistics that may encourage you to reduce your single-use plastic footprint by throwing away straws, switching to reusable water bottles, bringing cloth bags to the grocery store and more.

According to a study published in the journal Science Advances, the popularity of plastic, which began rising in the 1950s, is growing out of control. 2.．And there’s no sign of slowing down, considering scientists say that another 12 trillion kilograms will be produced worldwide by 2050.

“Every piece of plastic that has ever been created will remain in the environment in some form, but once we conveniently throw out our rubbish at home, wind and runoff carry our waste from landfills and streets to the ocean,” says Mystic Aquarium’s chief clinical veterinarian Jennifer Flower, DVM, MS. “Given that we are globally producing over 320 million tons of plastic annually, the marine environment is taking a big hit from our daily disposal of plastic.

3.. For example, newborn fish are mistaking tiny bits of plastic waste for food. If they die, there will be fewer big fish—and that could damage the food chain. Often our society is so focused on making our lives more convenient in the short term, but in the long run, our health and the health of marine life are at the expense of those everyday conveniences.”

4.．A recent report suggests that when heated, certain food additives (添加剂) can damage hormones, growth and development, as well as increase chances for children of being fat. 5.．It is found in plastic containers and metal cans. Parents are urged to avoid using microwaves to warm food and drinks or placing plastics in the dishwasher.

A.Using plastic containers in microwaves is also harmful to children’s health.

B.Our plastic consumption is directly affecting the life in the ocean.

C.8.2 trillion kilograms of plastic have been produced around the world.

D.People are concerned about the results of overusing plastic containers.

E.Let’s stop using plastic for the benefit of the environment and human beings.

F.The most concerning artificial additive BPA is a chemical used in the production of plastics.

G.These are all examples of single-use plastic products, which is a hot topic nowadays.

Plenty of science fiction (sci-f) movies over the decades have shown us different versions of Mars. The truth about the Martian surface might be exciting because it's real. And with NASA' s Mars 2020 mission set to launch this summer, we're facing more discovery.

So far, thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA's Curiosity rover, we've learned that lakes, rivers streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars. While its water disappeared over three billion years ago, it tells us that Mars used to be habitable. This knowledge confuses us because so far, we've seen no clear evidence of life there, not even a virus. But if Mars was once habitable, wouldn't it have life?

NASA is now prepared to take the next step to answer this question with the launch of another rover, Perseverance. Every time a rover goes to Mars, it just stays there, with no way to fly back home. So we have never brought rock or soil samples back from Mars.

Perseverance rover will change this. Its primary and unique purpose is to collect samples that a future spacecraft can return to Earth. These samples will tell us more about the geologic history of Mars than anything we've learned, which is already a lot. Since 2012. the Curiosity rover has traveled more than a dozen miles, making observations along the way with its 10 instruments.

Thanks to data from the Curiosity rovers Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, we know that Mars does indeed have organic materials. That’s more complex than we expected to find on the surface of Mars. And that's exactly why we want to gather the most interesting samples and bring them back to Earth. We expect to find out much more about Mars once we get samples back from the Mars 2020 mission.

1.What is the purpose of Mars 2020 Mission?

A.To explore the Martian surface. B.To travel around the universe.

C.To show the power of NASA. D.To study the life on Mars.

2.What does the underlined word "habitable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Enjoyable to visit. B.Suitable for living.

C.Ready for changes. D.Convenient to travel.

3.What was the problem with Mars exploration before Perseverance?

A.The rovers could not reach Mars.

B.Observations were hard to make.

C.Samples on Mars couldn't be brought back.

D.Study instruments got lost in the space station.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A.New Mars rover to be launched B.Sei-fi movies on Mars to be made

C.Curiosity to bring back Mars samples D.NASA to send manned rover to Mars

Robots often star in popular science fiction movies as the bad guys that take over the world and control mankind. But with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (新型冠状病毒), robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, performing often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure (暴露) to COVID-19.

Across the world, robotics companies are teaming with health care providers and government officials to develop technological solutions for dealing with the global health crisis. In China, robots have rolled down streets spraying disinfectant. In at least one hospital in South Korea, robots are being used to check patients’ temperatures and give out hand wash.

In the United States, two of the major ways in which robotic technology is being used are to disinfect hospital rooms and to act as telemedicine portal (远程医疗门户), allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to the virus.

In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have cooperated to bring a friendly, dog-like robot named Spot into Brigham and Women’s Hospital, allowing doctors to interact with COVID-19 patients via telemedicine. What sets Spot apart is its four-legged design, which allows the robot to move about easily in different settings, such as the tent set up outside the hospital.

In March, researchers began developing and testing the robot’s design to enable Spot to interact with patients, thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus. In the place of head, Spot has an iPad fixed to stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine sessions with their patients.

Researchers are working to increase the robots’ diagnostic (诊断) abilities, enabling it to test the patient’s temperature and measure his or her respiratory rate.

Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician, predicts that hospitals will continue to find ways to use robots even after the coronavirus pandemic is over, whether it may be through delivering supplies to rooms or seeing patients with other contagious (传染性的) diseases.

1.In China, robots are used to ________.

A.rid the streets of the virus B.hand out hand wash

C.communicate with patients D.measure the patients’ temperature

2.What does the underlined word “sessions” in Para. 5 mean?

A.greetings B.decisions C.experiments D.conferences

3.What can we infer from Dr. Chai’s prediction in the last paragraph?

A.More robots will be used to fight the virus.

B.New robots will be invented to fight the virus.

C.Robots will still play a part in medical treatment.

D.Robots will be invented to deliver medicines to patients.

4.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.Robots, deliverers of COVID-19 B.Robots, fighters against COVID-19

C.Robots, helpers in fighting COVID-19 D.Robots, pioneers in fighting COVID-19

The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(难民危机) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(动荡) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(后果).

On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were found dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.

The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:

“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武 装 冲 突 ) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒绝) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”

Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.

Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(条约义务).

This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest in their home countries.

When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.

1.The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _____.

A.defining the two words clearly

B.indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugees

C.showing that refugees are more than migrants

D.urging European countries to accept more refugees

2.According to the text　　 “refugee” differs from “migrant” because _____.

① they both cross national borders but with different purposes

② refugees are illegal while migrants are legal

③ refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe

④ refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respected

A.①④ B.①③ C.②③④ D.①③④

3.According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?

A.Explanations for “illegal immigrant”.

B.Examples about the refugee crisis in Europe.

C.Measures to offer refugee protections.

D.Causes of the refugee crisis in Europe.
