Dear Tom,
How have you recently been? It is so considerate for you to receive your letter inquired about novel coronavirus in Wuhan. I am writing to tell you about this.
Since the outbreak of a infectious disease in Wuhan in December 2019,the Chinese government had decisively closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, although cases have found throughout the country, but the Chinese people actively face it, together with Wuhan to fight the epidemic.
At this particular time, we should go out so little as possible. If we go out, we must wear masks to prevent us from getting infected. In addition, we should keep good healthy habits and keep our body cleanly.
As we all know, the Chinese nation has experienced lots of difficulties but it has never been defeated.
Yours,
Li Hua
3 . Getting sick is a common part of people’s lives. But their attitudes toward being sick and hospital visits vary from country to country. This difference hasn’t been more obvious since the start of the novel coronavirus epidemic — when a great number of people are falling ill all at the same time.
The conditions in the US are getting worse quickly, which is largely due to the fact that there’s no universal health-care system. According to the 2019 US Census, 28 million people are not covered or do not have adequate health insurance, meaning that they would probably avoid getting tested for the virus, for fear of the cost of being hospitalized.
‘‘There is a strong financial reason to hide symptoms, to try to keep working and caring for children, and thus, they’re spreading the virus … simply because they have no other choice.” wrote reporter James Hamblin on The Atlantic.
Germany, on the contrary, has one of the world’s best-developed public healthcare systems that covers every citizen. People in Germany — who have ‘‘high levels of job security’’, according to the Los Angeles Times — are also more likely to follow the separation measures and stay at home without having to worry about losing their jobs.
Japan also has universal public health-care, but it brings another kind of problem: People tend to seek more medical care than necessary. According to Yusuke Tsugawa, a physician at Harvard University, Japan has three times more outpatient (门诊) visits than in the US, and patients also stay in hospital for three times longer than in the US. This often wastes medical resources, which are even more critical and precious during a global pandemic.
‘‘It isn’t good to do tests just to ease public anxiety,” Kentaro Iwata, an infectious disease expert at Kobe University, Japan, told Reuters. ‘‘If they test everyone with light symptoms, the medical system will break down.”
Indeed, a country’s healthcare system is the key to keeping its people safe - it’s also the key to whether a country can survive a crisis like the novel coronavirus pandemic.
1. Why are the conditions in the US worsening rapidly?A.All people there avoid getting tested. |
B.Most people there don’t have health insurance. |
C.Most people there can’t afford being hospitalized. |
D.All people there are not covered by health-care system. |
A.They choose to do so. | B.They don’t want to work alone. |
C.They are concerned about money. | D.They want to stay with their children. |
A.They have too many outpatient visits. |
B.They waste too much time on unnecessary testing. |
C.They spend too much money on public health-care. |
D.They don’t make the best use of medical resources. |
4 . 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 February 17. 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 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 on create a network platform(平台),where necessary 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 computer 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 necessary to teach children about health knowledge, specially how to keep away from touching virus and also necessary 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 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 |
A.teach children about health knowledge |
B.do some physical exercises outside |

6 . COVID — 19 has greatly affected the lives of people across the world. It has challenged and changed people’s lifestyles. It has also helped us think about our relationships with others.
Changing our lives
● COVID - 19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about urban lifestyles. The sharing economy, working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry’s use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic.
● Although the sharing economy might be good — it’s cheaper to rent than to own — sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do “social distancing” when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?
● The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us. In this type of office, workers don’t have their own desk — everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic (卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during the pandemic, but that won’t last forever.
● Reusability is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unfortunately, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers’ reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.
●People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

10 . England and Wales launched a COVID-19 smartphone app on Thursday, allowing users to trace contacts, check the local level of risk and record visits to places such as pubs, four months after the technology was promised to the public.
The NHS COVID-19 app comes as Britain prepares for a second wave of infections, with daily case numbers rising at rates not seen since the peak of the pandemic (流行病)and a testing system unable to cope with demand in many areas.
The government had said a COVID-19 app would arrive in May, but early trials were troubled by problems, and developers abandoned home-grown technology in favor of Apple and Google's model in June.
As the delay lengthened, the governmentdownplayedthe importance of smartphones in fighting COVID-19, saying that rather than an app being central to the test and trace system, it was "the cherry on the cake".
Health Secretary Matt Hancock, however, said that with infection rates rising, every tool available must be used to prevent the spread of the disease, including the latest technology. "We have worked extensively with tech companies, international partners, and privacy and medical experts -and learned from the trials-to develop an app that is secure, simple to use and will help keep our country safe," he said.
The app uses Bluetooth signals to record when a user is in close contact with another user, generally meaning within two meters for 15 minutes or more. If someone tests positive for COVID-19, they can choose to share the result anonymously (匿名地)with their close contacts, who will each receive a warming and will have to isolate (隔离)for 14 days.
People aged over 16 will be encouraged to download the app by advertisements with the slogan:"Protect your loved ones. Get the app."
1. Which word can best replace the underlined word "downplayed" in paragraph 4?A.emphasize |
B.value |
C.explain |
D.underestimate |
A.The app came to market at the peak of the disease. |
B.The app might help reduce the spread of the disease. |
C.The app can share the testing result automatically. |
D.The app is popular with teenagers in England. |
A.Many hands make light work. |
B.Haste makes waste. |
C.One good turn deserves another. |
D.Knowledge starts with practice. |
