4 . UN Humanitarian Chief Mark Lowcock today released US$15 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund(CERF)to help fund global efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus.

The announcement came as the World Health Organization(WHO)upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to “very high”—its top level of risk assessment. The WHO has said there is still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission is broken.

The UN funding has been released to the WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It will fund essential activities including being aware of the spread of the virus investigating cases, and putting national laboratories into use.

The WHO has called for US$ 675 million to fund the fight against coronavirus. There is a window of opportunity to contain the spread of the virus if countries take strong measures to detect cases early, isolate and care for patients, and trace contacts.

Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-Gieneral for Humanitarian Affairs, Mark Lowcock said, “We do not yet see evidence that the virus is spreading freely. As long as that’s the case, we still have a chance of containing it, by strengthening surveillance, conducting thorough outbreak investigations to identify contacts and applying appropriate measures to prevent further spread.”

“This announcement from the UN’s Emergency Fund will help countries with fragile health systems improve their detection and response operations. It has the potential to save the lives of millions of vulnerable people.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. WHO Director-General, said, “The potential spread of the virus to countries with weaker health systems is one of our biggest concerns. These funds will help support these countries get ready for detecting and isolating cases, protecting their health workers, and treating patients with dignity and appropriate care. This will help us save lives and push back the virus.”

“At this critical moment, every effort must be made to push back against the outbreak,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “These funds will support our global efforts to promote weaker health systems and inform children, pregnant women and families about how to protect themselves.”

6 . TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to be held but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it to cancel the event.

Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.

Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.

Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.

It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That will endow the games with special meaning beyond sports.

1. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The virus’ global transmission.

B．People’ worry about the infections.

C．The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.

D．The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.

2. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?

A．Uncertain.

B．Negative.

C．Approving.

D．Indifferent.

3. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?

A．Compare.

B．Equip.

C．Provide.

D．Charge.

4. What can be the best title for the news report?

A．Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead

B．Olympics big test for Japanese government

C．Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games

D．Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games

9 . If businesses are to get workers back into the office, finding ways to keep social distancing will be important. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors installed on workplace ceilings.

PointGrab developed its technology before COVID-19 to help workspace managers optimize(优化) how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants. One of the company's first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its London office last year. PointGrab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability (利用率) of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a series of innovations(创新) that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.

Now to prevent the coronavirus spreading face to face, PointGrab has modified the technology to some degree so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alarm for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example. The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by a company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation centre in Belgium. While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has installed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-Cola, Facebook and Dell.

Workers might not like the idea of being monitored, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as a dot on a screen. “The sensor does not violate people's privacy.” Shachar says. This is extremely important in the workspace.

1. What were the sensors used to do before COVID-19?

A．To identify employees.	B．To record locations.
C．To keep track of employees.	D．To make better use of office space.

2. What does the underlined word “modified” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Introduced.

B．Adjusted.

C．Formed.

D．Boomed.

3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．How we can get workers back into their office	B．How we can improve the employees’ efficiency
C．Smart sensors make office social distancing easier	D．Smart sensors are a key technological innovation
