Tu Youyou is famous around the world. She is the first Chinese female scientist     1     (win)a Nobel Prize. She studied medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre. After her     2     (graduate)from university, she became a member of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. In 1969, she     3     (choose)to establish a team to find a cure     4     malaria—a disease that killed millions of people every year. It was not     5     easy task. They had limited resources and they did not have enough staff. Tu Youyou studied ancient Chinese medical literature and     6     (visit)experts in traditional Chinese medicine. Then she and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one. After hundreds of failed experiments, they     7     (eventual)came across a promising chemical. The medicine they discovered was artemisinin,     8     has now become the world’s     9    (effective)drug for fighting malaria.

According to Tu Youyou, from their research experience in     10     (discover)artemisinin, they learnt the wisdom behind both Chinese and Western medicine. And there is great potential for future advances if we integrate these two kinds of wisdom fully.

7 . As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.

The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.

Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”

3. What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A．It’s impossible to buy a bike.

B．Bike factories were closed in April.

C．High demand for bikes began in March.

D．It takes many months to produce a bike.

9 . How to Help a Friend with Depression

If you have a friend who is suffering from depression, you may be unsure about what you should do to help. There are several ways that you can help a friend with depression.

    1    

As soon as you suspect that your friend is suffering from depression, you should encourage him or her to see a doctor. Your friend may be denying that there is a problem or maybe even embarrassed to admit that there is a problem. The extra encouragement of a friend may be all that your friend needs to seek help.

Supporting your friend

Depression can make people feel isolated and like no one cares. Even if you have shown your concern by doing things to help your friend, he or she may need to hear you say that you are there for them in order to believe it. Let your friend know that you are available.     2    

Depression can also make a person feel worthless, but you can use encouraging words to support your friend until your friend remembers his or her worth again.     3    Avoid saying unnecessary things like, “It’s all in your head.” or “Snap out of it!”

Moving beyond depression with your friend

As your friend begins to feel better, keep your friend moving beyond depression by planning some fun outings.     4     And make plans to do those things so that your friend will always have something to look forward to.     5    Recent studies have shown it helps to ease the symptoms of depression and make people who are depressed feel more connected to others. You probably know what makes your friend laugh better than anyone else does, so make sure that you use that knowledge to laugh with them on a regular basis.

A．Those who laugh last laugh best.

B．Choose activities that you both enjoy.

C．Encouraging your friend to talk to you.

D．Helping your friend get treatment for depression.

E．Laughter is known as the best medicine for a reason.

F．Therefore, they can contact you right away if they need you.

G．You could say, “You are such a gifted artist. I really admire your talent.”

10 . What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.

As of Feb 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.

Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.

With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.

Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.

When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.

“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.

US writer Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) once wrote, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.

Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes.

1. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A．To explain what makes a modern-day hero.

B．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.

C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.

D．To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating NCP patients.

2. What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?

A．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.

B．His illness makes him work without fear.

C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.

D．He wants to help as many patients as possible.

3. Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?

A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.

B．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.

C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.

D．There is no WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.

4. The underlined word “manifestations” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “_______”.
