时文阅读理解：全球公共卫生事件The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared (宣布) the new coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak a global public health emergency after the spread of the disease across the world. WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly. Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases.Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it. “We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,” said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.1. What does the underlined phrase “take such a step” mean in the first paragraph?A. Spread the coronavirus across the world.B. Declare the coronavirus a global public health emergency.C. Hold the third meeting about the coronavirus.D. Restrict trade and travel across the world.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The 2009 swine flu pandemic was a global public health emergency.B. SARS killed about 800 people across the world in 2009.C. The new coronavirus has few cases than SARS.D. The spread of the coronavirus has no risk.3. What could the declaration of global public health emergency cause?A. Bigger outbreak of the coronavirus.B. Trade and travel restrictions.C. A weaker health system.D. Immediate stop of the coronavirus.时文阅读：疫情推迟开学On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War（抗击新型肺炎战）, the Ministry of Education issued（教育部公布） a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices. However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect(影响）children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and otherknowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.1. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _______.A. children may be infected by virusB. they don’t like the idea of online learningC. children’s study may be affectedD. parents have no time to look after children2. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A. To keep playing online games.B. To keep touching different people.C. To do some physical exercises outside.D. To teach childrenabout health knowledge.3. The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______ .A. planB. stopC. growthD. change4. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students would rather go to school.B. The date of going to school is decided.C. Online teaching will help students study.D. Parents believe children can teach themselves.5. What’s the best title for this passage?A. A Special Way to Learn at HomeB. A New War with a New ChanceC. A Way to Keep Mentally HealthyD. A Method to Make Parents Worried时文阅读：心理防疫Wearing a mask while sleeping at home sounds a little crazy.But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it’s not necessary to do so. But I am still worried about when the epidemic will end,” said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu.Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by theChinese Academy of Social Sciences.These emotions (情绪) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (积极心理学). “Some stressful reactions (反应) can help us fight the virus,” Wang said. “We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example.”But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life,wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的).Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,” Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.1. Wu Keying wore a mask while sleeping because _____.A. her parents told her to do soB. it’s the best way to avoid infectionC. one of her family members was infectedD. she was scared of being infected2. What do we know from Paragraph 2?A. Many people feel worried about the virus.B. We shouldn’t worry too much about the virus.C. Only 40 percent of people worry about the outbreak.D. More than 80 percent of people wear masks while sleeping.3. According to Wang Weihua, _____ can help us fight the virus.a. wearing masksb. being stress-freec. staying positived. washing our handsA. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd4. The last three paragraphs are mainly about _____.A. how to stay away from the coronavirusB. how psychologists helped patientsC. suggestions on how to stay positiveD. how to receive psychological counseling全球公共卫生事件1-3 BAB（在全球范围内蔓延后，世界卫生组织宣布新型冠状病毒疫情成为全球性的突发公共卫生事件。

中考《新冠肺炎阅读》及答案

2020年时事热点新冠肺炎专题阅读理解试题及解析To stamp out bush meat, teach kids first.杜绝野味，从小抓起。

“The meat of masked civets can be eaten and has long been considered a rare precious meat from the mountain,”says the Animal Encyclopedia for Children, a science book published by Wuhan University Press.But following the outbreak of the novel corona virus, which has been linked to the consumption of bush meat, a reader complained online that the description was improper; the press responded by withdrawing the book from all shops.The action is welcomed, as some research shows the virus came from dead bats, while others suspect it might have been transmitted from bats to pangolins（[脊椎] 穿山甲；[鱼] 鲮鲤）and from them to humans. Whichever animal was the host, researchers are in agreement that bush meat is not safe for consumption, and that masked palm civets, which caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in 2003, should definitely be taken off menus.However, a public outcry alone cannot help. The law prohi bits consumption of protected species, but those not on the protected list, like masked palm civets, become sitting ducks for those who love eating wild animals. Without a law in place, one cannot stop restaurants from serving wild animal meat, even though researchers know the dangers they pose.The first step toward legislation prohibiting bush meat is to build cation is essentia（[医] [生物]要素，露，香精剂（挥发油醇溶液））:only when everyone realizes the dangers of eating bush meat will they give up the habit and push for legislation.And such awareness should begin early. Teaching children from a young age not to consume wild animals will make it easier to ensure they refrain from doing so when they grow up.The Wuhan University Press encyclopedia has bee n withdrawn from shops, but that is because the press is located in Wuhan. It is hoped that other press houses across the country browse through their published books and make similar corrections. Striking out consumption of bush meat in children’s reading material is a good way to begin.单词笔记stamp out扑灭；踩灭the Animal Encyclopedia for Children《儿童动物百科全书》masked civet 花面狸the novel corona virus新型冠状病毒be linked to与……有关联suspect v.怀疑；猜想withdraw v.撤回；撤销pangolin n.穿山甲outcry n.强烈抗议；尖叫strike out打击；想出the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic （SARS)严重急性呼吸系统综合症push for奋力争取consensus n.一致；共识；舆论；重点讲解❶But following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which has been linked to the consumption of bush meat, a reader complained online that the description was improper...亮点词汇：be linked to与……有关联难句解析：在此句中，主句为“a reader complained online that the description was improper”, which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the outbreak of the novel coronavirus;现在分词“…following the outbreak of the novel cornavirus…meat”作时间状语，表示分词动作一发生，谓语动作紧跟着发生。

On Jan 11 – 12 days after getting a sample(样本) from an infected patient – scientists in Wuhan released the genetic sequence(基因序列) of the novel coronavirus, the key to understanding the virus. They shared this data with scientists around the world.Around Jan 14, several companies created nucleic acid test kits(核酸检测盒) to help identify(识别) suspected(疑似的) infections.

2020中考英语时文阅读训练（疫情相关）（含答案）篇目一Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措。

To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison (监狱).There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on (基于) the last number of their national ID number. For example, people with an ID number ending in 0, 7 or 4 can leave the house on Monday, while those with an ID number ending 1, 8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday.一、True or false1.People can stay at least 1.5 meters away from other people when in public.2.The students are studying online instead of going to school.3.People still can hold public activities during social distancing4.P eople who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule in Singapore.5.In Panama, men and women can leave their homes in one day.6.People with an ID number ending in 0, 8 or 4 can leave the home On Monday.二、Choose the answer1.In Australia, only _____ people should be allowed in a100-square-meter room.A. 4B. 10C. 20D. 252.In Singapore, people will be punished with _____ if they come within 1 meter of another person.A. six months in jailB. a fine of $50,000C. ten months in jailD. a fine of $100,0003.What do we know about social distancing?A.

Surprise volunteer（疫情下的奇特经历）On Feb 12, Dalian (not his real name) was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage (车厢) to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He did not realize that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan.Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn’t want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag.As Wuhan had been locked down because of the epidemic, Dalian couldn’t find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day. Dalian decided to give it a try.He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No 1 Hospital.

While working, he couldn’t drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky.Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. “When I entered the wards (病房), I was kind of frozen (僵硬的) and felt like I couldn’t move,”he said.

2020年中考英语时事阅读第16期

中考英语时事阅读第16期Passage 1：Masks mark a heroWhat 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 (新冠肺炎), 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 (温柔) and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair (绝望), 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 (不同寻常的) times, they are heroes.1：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.2：Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video cal ls?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 network signal at the temporary mobile hospital.3：The underlined word “manifestations” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “_______”.A. Results C. symbolsB. Differences D. advantages4：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.

In their own ways, they are showing others that they won’t let the virus get them down. Take a look at some of the interesting things they’re doing with their spare time.Encourage people to danceMatthew Lee is a 16-year-old Chinese-American. Although he is now living in Los Angeles, US, the news about the outbreak in China still hit close to home (使感同身受) for him. When he learned that most Chinese are unable to leave their houses, he decided to encourage them to work out at home by making a dance video with his friends. “My friend Jojo was excited about the opportunity to lift people’s spirits and she said she would dance her heart out for a great cause (目标) –the health and wellness of those quarantined (隔离) in China,” Lee told TEENS. In the cooldown part of the dance, Lee cho se to dance to the song We Are The World. Lee said, “I believe that with sweat and smiles, together, we will make a better day.”Write a rap song“I close my eyes and pray (祈祷)/ hoping everything will be okay/ the one who can save you is not God/ but an ordinary man in flesh and blood (血肉之躯).”These are a few lines from a rap song written by Liu Yixin and Li Yusheng, who are Senior 3 students from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (中国人民大学附属中学) in Beijing. Titled An Empty City (《空城》), the song became a hit as soon as it was released because of its thought-provoking (引人深思的) lyrics and deep emotion (感情). People have not only been amazed by the talent of these young teenagers, but also touched by their strong sense of social responsibility. Liu said in an interview that he has read a lot of news stories lately, both good and bad, which led him to write a song that expresses his own opinion about the present situation.“I love making music and used to have my own band. Music is the best w ay for me to express myself. After the college entrance exam this year, I’ll continue to make more,” Liu told China Youth DailyWrite an English poemDu Yiran is a Junior 2 student from Baoding, Hebei. While stuck at home during the outbreak, Du and her classmates wrote several acrostic poems (藏头诗) in English to help cheer people up. “My teacher suggested this form.

They are the media, and their eyes are far-seeing.Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media: a photographer with China Daily. He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.Before entering the isolation ward (隔离病房), Zhu had to put on protective gear (装备) like the doctors: a protective suit, a surgical mask, goggles (护目镜), disposable (一次性的) gloves and shoe covers. He described it as “stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on. “I felt anoxic (缺氧的) under the masks,” he wrote on China Daily. “So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions, trying to make myself feel better.”The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.On Feb 9, for example, a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them. The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled in hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible. But it’s possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York City, is also aware of the media’s role as a watchdog (监督者). She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni (校友) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan. She was impressed by how they managed to collect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time. Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex (繁复的) paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的) procedures added to their already heavy workload.“I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better,” said Li.Indeed, the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world’s most important news.1：By describing Zhu Xingx in’s experience in Wuhan, the author intends to show ___.A. what journalists should pay attention to while workingB. how medical workers fight against the virusC.the efforts journalists make to report on the frontlineD. the importance of the media in fighting the epidemic2：What does the underlined word “scrutinize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.move somebodyB. discover potential dangersC.make reference to somethingD.examine closely3：What happened after Global Times journalists reported what they had witnessed on Feb 9?A.All the patients received proper treatment.B. The officials apologized for what had happened.C.The journalists were warned by the officials.D.The patients received donations from overseas.4：How does Li Xueqing hope to i mprove the alumni’s donation process?A.Making shipping methods more convenient.B. Simplifying paperwork and procedures.C.Creating more professional quality tests.D.Reducing the heavy workloads of medical workers fighting the virus.5：Why does the author compare media employees to eyes?A.They usually have sharp insights.B. They enable us to better see what happens.C.They help to change the world for the better.D.They allow people to focus on recent events.参考答案：CDABBPassage 4：Changing how we say helloGreeting is one of the most important （aspect）of socializing.

2020中考英语时文阅读训练（疫情相关）（含答案）篇目一Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措。

To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus,authorities at every level in China have been using their wits to take fast action.In heavily-affected (受到严重影响的) areas such as Hubei province,the government decided to lock down cities. After Wuhan's lockdown on Jan 23, for example,13 other cities in Hubei also took lockdown measures. The practice proved effective (有效的) in stamping out the virus' spread at its root, noted China Daily.Communities across China have also taken quick action. Manyresidential areas have adopted closed-off management,where one family can only let one person come out every day to buy daily supplies.There are also community workers who check people's temperatures,keep records of local people’s travel history, keep non-residents (非住户) out of the community, and make sure that returnees (返回者) from high-risk areas quarantine (隔离) themselves. They have built the first line of defense (防御) against the virus across China.According to Xinhua, there are millions of community workers in 650,000 urban and rural communities across the country. Due to limited (有限的) manpower, many people from all walks of life have volunteered to do the job.“In the face of an unexpected outbreak,it's amazing to see that China could mobilize（动员) people on such a large scale (规模）”Li Baoping from the Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences told Xinhua.“Great governance capacity(治理能力) at all levels gives us confidence in winning the battle.”Answer the questions:1.When was Wuhan locked down?_____________________________________________2.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “stamping out" inChinese?_____________________________________________3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?________________________________________________4.Has there been enough manpower during the epidemic?__________________________________________________5.What does Li Baoping think about the battle against the virus?___________________________________________________篇目三Scientists fight their own battle面对新病毒，科学家积极“应战”.Since novel coronavirus pneumonia is an infectious (传染的) disease, the battle against it is like a race against time.The faster we find better treatments,the fewer people it will affect. Scientists have been rushing to study the novel coronavirus and looking for possible treatments.The first task was to learn about the virus.On Jan 11 - 12 days after getting a sample (样本) from an infected patient -scientists in Wuhan released the genetic sequence (基因序列) of the new coronavirus. It provides the basis for understanding the virus and developing testing kits (检测盒) and vaccines. They shared the data with scientists around the world so that they can develop vaccines at the same time.Another task was to make testing kits to identify more patients.Around Jan 14,several companies created nucleic acid (核酸) test kits. The Kehua Biochemical Company produced the first kits.The kits take 1.5 to 3 hours to get test results using samples from suspected (疑似的) patients.Ten companies are now producing nucleic acid test kits, making 1.7 million kits every day, according to the National Medical Products Administration.Scientists are still looking for new medications and treatments. They have found that plasma (血浆）from recovered patients is an effective treatment because the plasma has antibodies (抗体) that can stop the virus.As of Feb 28,91 patients had seen improvements in their symptoms(症状) thanks to plasma from recovered patients according to the National Health Commission.Meanwhile,traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used totreat patients. For example, a company in Guangdong found a TCM prescription (药方) called Toujie Quwen Granule (透解祛疯颗粒）.It's proved to reduce symptoms in 50 mild cases. Five drugs have also been allowed to go through clinical trials (临床试验).一、True or false1.Scientists have been found novel coronavirus treatments.2.Genetic sequence (基因序列) of the new coronavirus provides the basis for understanding the virus and developing vaccines.3.The first kits have been produced by a biochemical company.4.Plasma (血浆）from recovered patients is an effective treatment.5.TCM has been used to treat patients,but it is useless.二、Choose the answer:1. Why did scientists study the genetic sequence of the virus?A.Because it's a race against time.B.Because it's a good opportunity to do research.C. Because they can use it to develop a vaccine.D.Because they have to share the results with the world.2. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Treatment with plasma from recovered patients.B.A new medication that works well.C. The efforts that scientists have made to test new drugs.D.New symptoms that patients have shown.3.What do we know from the story?A.We didn't share test kits with other countries.B.Plasma can help prevent the infection.C.Scientists are still working on new treatments.D. TCM is more effective than plasma.答案:篇目一一、FTFFFF二1-5DACAB篇目二1.On Jan 232.杜绝彻底制止munities’ efforts to fight the virus.4.No,there hasn’t5.We will finally win the battle.篇目三一、1-5FTTTF二、1-3CAC篇目一参考译文Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措为了阻止COVID-19的传播，许多国家正在实行社交隔离。
