ASpreading truth and knowledgeIf you have ever talked to doctors in the hospitals,you may find that many of them are quite serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand.But Zhang Wenhong,the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia,is one of the exceptions.He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.Zhang's words first went viral(走红）on the internet after he said in late January that he haddispatched(派遣）doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China(CPC)to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases.＂When becoming CPC members,we vowed(发誓）that we would always prioritize people's interests...in the face of difficulties,"Zhang said."This is the moment we live up to the pledge（誓言）。

All CPC members must rush to the frontline.No bargaining.” Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among internet users."A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation.Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,"said Yang Haiyan,a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.One month later,when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home,he said in Shanghai dialect:"If you don't stop seeing friends,you will see them again in the ICU."Though chased by the media,Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now,but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends.“I spoke because of the fear among the public,owing to limited knowledge of the contagion （传染病），”said Zhang on Feb 26.“However,once the curtain of this coronavi rus incident falls,it may be hard to find me.I'll just hide myself in a corner,studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading,silently.”＂21.What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?A.The way he treats his patients.B.His honest and humorous speech.C.His pledge to fight against the virus.D.His broad knowledge of the novel coronavirus.22.He dispatched CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that_A.they would bargain lessB.they are more professionalC.they should take the lead as they had vowedD.they would be calmer in a critical situation23.What can we conclude from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last two paragraphs?A.He doesn't like to speak in public.B.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention.D.He is looking forward to taking a break after the epidemic.BE-cigarettes lead to as many lung diseases as tobacco products, a new study has found. The report from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill compared saliva(唾液) samples from tobacco smokers, e-cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Researchers found that e-cigarette smokers were likely to develop dangerous proteins associated with lung diseases. The study adds to a growing body of evidence proving that e-cigarettes might not be the perfect alternative smokers addicted to tobacco are looking for.Last year a Surgeon General’s report claimed that the use of e-cigarettes among a certain group of people jumped 900 percent from 2011to 2015 and more studies were carried out to research their side effects. That same year, the FDA put e-cigarettes in the tobacco products the administration monitors.Previous research from UCLA has proven that e-cigarettes can cause lifelong damage to one’s heart, and that one puff (吸一口烟) of an e-cigarette is all it takes to increase one’s risk of having a heart attack. For the new study UNC researchers observed 15 e-cigarette users, 14 cigarette smokers and 15 nonsmokers. The study revealed that e-cigarette smokers have raised levels of NET-related proteins in their airways, the increased levels of which can lead to lung illnesses, making it difficult for patients to breathe.Study author Dr Mehmet Keismer said, “There is confusion about whether e-cigarettes are ‘safer’ than ci garettes because the potential adverse effects of e-cigarettes are only beginning to bestudied. Our results suggest that e-cigarettes might be just as bad as cigarettes.” Dr Keismer also stressed that e-cigarettes come with their own harmful risks along with those linked to tobacco, which challenges the concept that switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes is a healthier alternative.A citizen named Dyclna said, “The e-cigarettes probably make you cough less, but nobody gives a warning about your lungs. For producers, it’s just a money thing —it’s just about getting profits from it. The problem is that our government just stands there with its hands behind the back.”24.Why did the FDA list e-cigarettes into monitored products?A. It might have realized the harm of them.B. It wanted to improve their quality.C. It aimed to reduce their illegal sales.D. It might be warned by the government.25.What does Dyclna mainly want to express?A. E-cigarettes are safer than regular ones.B. E-cigarettes can only benefit few people.C. Producers make a high profit from e-cigarettes.D. Governments are to blame for e-cigarettes’ consumption.26.What is the best title for the text?A. E-cigarettes: A new way of smoking.B. E-cigarettes: A better way than tobacco?C. E-cigarettes: The harmful proteins it produces.D. E-cigarettes: The urgent need of government control.CUN 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-19virus.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 detectcases early, isolate and care for patients, and trace contacts.Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mark Lowcock said, “We don’t 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 frag ile 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 liv es 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.”27.
