Guangzhououtbreak linked to strains inIndia
The gene sequencing of the COVID-19 outbreak inGuangzhou.Guangdongprovince, indicates it is very similar in structure to the mutatedstrains detected inIndia, a senior health official from the city said on Sunday.
“And it has the characteristic of quick spread.” Chen Bin, deputy director of the city's health commission, said at a news conference inGuangzhouon Sunday.
She urged relevant departments and medical staff to act quickly to block the chain of infection and control the spread of the coronavirus in the southern metropolis.
Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of theGuangzhoucenter for disease control and prevention, said the strain of coronavirus spreads easily.
“The virus can be spread through a meal or through a short period of indirect contact,” he said.
The city reported five confirmed eases and 21 asymptomatic carriers as of 2 pm Sunday after the first con finned case was detected in the city's Liwan district on May 21, Chen said.
To prevent the virus from spreading, the city government tightened its disease control and prevention measures over the weekend. Six communities and housing estates previously designated as low-risk areas were raised to medium-risk ones, Chen said.
In addition to asking local residents to get vaccinated, the city has organized nucleic acid testing in Haizhu and Yuexiu districts starting from Sunday. Residents in specific areas of Tianhe, Baiyun and Panyu districts have also been required to take nucleic acid tests to expand the screening of suspected patients and asymptomatic carriers.
Liwan previously required all its residents to take nucleic acid tests.
As of Saturday, more than 2-25 million residents of the city have had samples collected for nucleic acid tests, Chen said. More than 10,000 medical workers from the entire city have been sent to Liwan to help vaccinate locals against COVID-19 and collect samples for nucleic acid testing.
Deng Wenjun, director of circulation section with Guangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said there are sufficient supplies of food and daily necessities in the medium-risk areas.

Most animals living in crowded conditions have particularly strong immune systems, so it long puzzled researchers that honeybees do not.
Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by moving parts of proteins from disease-causing pathogens to them before they are laid. These act as antigens totriggerthe development of a protective immune response in the developing young. But that observation raises the question of how the queen receives her antigen supply in the first place? Dr. Harwood wondered if the nurse bees were taking in parts of pathogens and passing them to royal jelly they were producing while eating the food brought to the hive.
To test this idea, he teamed up with a group at theUniversityofHelsinki, inFinland, led by Dr Heli Salmela. Together, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives equipped with baby bees to look after. Instead of honey, they fed the nurses on sugar water, and for three of the hives they added P. larvae, a bacterium causing a hive-killing disease, to the sugar water.
In this case, to stop such an infection happening, Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela heat-treated the pathogens and so killed them in advance. They also labelled the dead bacteria with a fluorescent dye, to track them easily. And, sure enough, it was confirmed that parts of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly released by those bees which had
been fed with the sugar water containing that.
All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, through their royal jelly, passing antigens onto the queen for vaccinating her eggs. They also mean the nurses are vaccinating baby bees as well, because baby bees, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they come out.
8. What does the underlined word “trigger" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Cut out.
B. Set off.
C. Slow down.
D. Put off.
9. Which is the main experimental subject in Paragraph 3?
A. Queen bees.
B. Nurse bees.
C. Bee eggs.
D. Baby bees.
10. Why was P. larvae added to the sugar water?
A. To test if it would cause a hive-killing disease.
B. To check how the bacterium would affect the hive.
C. To see whether the target bees would favor the taste.
D. To confirm the bees would pass pathogens to royal jelly.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. How bees multiply.
B. How antigens function.
C. How bees get vaccinated.
D. How immune system works.
D
Parents and math teachers regularly asked by their school-aged charges whether math matters inreal life now have an answer.
In a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research this week, Harvard Kennedy School Policy Professor Joshua Goodman took a look at what happened to students whose high schools were required in the 1980s to increase the minimum level of coursework required to graduate. What he found is that the students were more likely to increase the number of math courses they took as a result of the change in standards and that translated into higher earnings down the line.
Put simply: About 15 years after they graduated, the high school graduates who went to school when these changes took effect saw their average earnings increase about 10% for every extra year of math coursework. The findings may add fuel to the steady drum of education experts, policy makers and others calling for an increased focus on science and math education.
The increase in required math courses didn’t necessarily produce rocket scientists, Goodman notes, because
the extra coursework wasn’t at a particularly high level. But becoming familiar with and practicing ly basic math skills allowed high school graduates to pursue and excel at jobs that required some level of computational knowledge, he said.
Goodman acknowledged that the earnings boost for the students connected with the up tick （上升）in math education may be dependent on the state of the economy. When Goodman checked in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the earnings of the students who graduated in the late 1985，he found that their earnings increased significantly if they took more math.
12. What does Joshua Goodman’s study find?
A. High school graduates earn more.
B. High school students prefer math.
C. Math matters a lot in one’s income.
D. Math is a compulsory course in school.
13. Why is increase in required math courses useful?
A. It produced rocket scientists.
B. It makes high school students smarter.
C. It meets the requirements of the government.
D. It enables high school graduates to get better jobs.
14. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a warning to policy makers.
B. To seek help for high school students’ problems.
C. To show the great importance of learning math.
D. To tell a struggling history of high school students.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Efforts matter most
B. Math makes money
C. Earnings of different graduates
D. Changes of high school courses

52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Old Jimwas without doubt the besthairstylist I’d ever known. He designed every haircut so artistically that it would be an understatement to say the magics created by him were “beautiful”. But there was one strange thing about his shop: there was nomirrorin it, so customers were kept in suspense until they reached home.
I entered Old Jim’s hairdresser’s, sad and disappointed, having just been rejected a role in the school play. I was ordinary-looking and boring, and that’s why they didn’t want me — I was convinced. “I want to bebeautiful,” I said to Old Jim, tears almost dropping. After having a haircut, I thanked him again andwalkedout through the door, his words remaining in my head: “There’smagicin your new hair. Now start your journey to beauty.”
Sunlight dropped down through the overlapping leaves above my head as I walked on the street. I shook my head but didn’t feel a difference. I could only slightly feel that something was different, like a little voice that had long been suppressed that desired to beheard.
Suddenly, I heard someone calling out to me. “Susan! Susan” I turned around. It was Jennifer, the most popular girl in the whole school. “It really is you, Susan. You look great today!” ‘Thanks.” Jennifer was everything I wanted to be. What a sweet victory to get such admiration from a girl like her! We had aconversationon school
and parted at a crossing, where she turned left and I right.
As I walked, I could see aboywalking toward me. We went to the same school but hadn't talked to each other much. If it weren't for the new hair, I would have looked down and pretended not to see him. I had always beenshy.
Paragraph 1:
But at that point, I intended to test out Old Jim’s magic.
