The Chinese philosopher (哲学家) Confucius once said, “Time flows away like the water in the river.” This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China, andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.
In late January, when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected, and hospitals didn't have adequate beds for them, two special hospitals—Lei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built. These two makeshift (临时的) hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters, andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters. More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts, and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site. The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time. It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan, and 14 days for Lei shenshan.
This certainly wowed many people overseas. “It's incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period. It's just hard to believe,” a foreigner named Stuart told People's Daily. In the meantime, Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.
“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing, purchasing materials, production lines and output of technologies,” Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told CCTV News. “In this special time, when the nation needs more masks, it's time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”
Indeed, a fast response is crucial in any crisis. In this special time,Chinacan't afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic. After all, time equals life during this crisis.

Saroo Brierley, a 4-year-old boy, livedin ruralIndia. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.
Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book,A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and
there it was. Everything matched!
Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”
8. Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?
A. To go back to his home.
B. To look for his brother.
C. To travel toTasmania.
D. To follow a stranger.
9. What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown?
A. The vast area ofIndia.
B. The fact that he was nobody then.
C. His not remembering the town’s name.
D. The distance betweenAustraliaand his hometown.
10. How did Brierley find his hometown?
A. By studying digital maps.
B. By analyzing old pictures.
C. By travelling all aroundIndia.
D. By spreading his story via his book.
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Love for Mother
B. Union with Brother
C. Memory of Hometown
D. Long Way back Home
D
If you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.
Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers
thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet, but no one had tested that until now.
To understand their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the-smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.
They observed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wing beats after takeoff.The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wing beats than later in flight.
The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick tum, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.
“The study is exciting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small aerial vehicles.”
12. Why was laser used in the experiment?
A. To frighten the butterflies into lying.
B. To help researchers observe the butterflies.
C. To help take clear photos of air movement.
D. To guide the butterflies through the smoke.
13. What is the finding of the research-according to paragraph 5?
A. Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.
B. An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.
C. Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.
D. Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.
14. According to the writer, the finding of the research can be used for .
A. helping catch a resting butterfly more easily
B. helping do research on other butterfly-like insects
C. helping provide inspiration for making small flying vehicles
D. helping widen the applications of small flying vehicle
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?
B. How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?
C. How Can Butterflies Make Quick Tums?
D. Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My sister Megan always felt a little afraid while babysitting（临时照看小孩）at the Quinns' house. It was set back from the road by a long, winding driveway, and the yard was filled with so many pine trees that she couldn't see any of the neighbors' lights.
On this particular night, the snow was falling heavily outside. The girls begged her to read them their favorite story, and afterward they fell asleep. Megan settled on the sofa to watch an old movie on television.
Around ten o'clock, a loud knock on the door surprised her. Megan spied through the peephole（窥视孔）and saw a middle-aged man standing in the entryway.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Your brother Ben."
Megan realized the man had mistaken her for his sister. She replied, "Mrs. Quinn can't come to the door right now. "She thought of her mother's warming: Never open the door for a stranger while you' re babysitting.
"The truth is I'm babysitting," she said through the screen. The words were out of her mouth before she remembered her mother's second warning: Don't advertise that you're alone. Megan quickly added, "Mrs. Quinn will be home soon.”
"It's awfully cold out here. Can I wait inside?" The man asked.
Megan hesitated. "Couldn't you come back in a little while?"
"I drove all the way fromNewport. I don't have anywhere else to go." The man smiled.
"Please let me in. I promise I won't bother you."
"Mrs. Quinn left a number for me to contact her," Megan said. "I'll call her and see what she says."
The smile disappeared from the man's face. "You're going to leave me outside to freeze to death in the meantime? Wait until she finds out you wouldn't let me in! You'll be in so much trouble!" With the words he left.
Megan trembled. Maybe it was true. Maybe she would get in trouble. What if Mrs. Quinn asked her why she didn't let her brother in? How could Megan explain that he was ly rude? Would Mrs. Quinn think she was not mature enough to babysit? Maybe she'd never call her again.
注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

A little after eleven, Mrs. Quinn came back.
