--2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解四篇-3(附详答)

2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解四篇Passage 1 疫情使“食物银行”面临危机Skyrocketing unemployment due to the coronavirus(新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病) has been forcing a growing number of Americans to turn to charitable services for assistance as food insecurity among families with children grows. New York City Mission Society(NYCMS) has been serving the city’s most underserved(缺少关爱的) children since 1812. Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children it serves and delivering them during the pandemic.“I can't tell you how desperately these food baskets are needed...In the New York tri-state area, we have a very serious situation because so many residents live at or below the pover ty level,” Shafiroff, a member of NYCMS, told Fox News. “The food bank across the area are very helpful...but the supply and the demand are not working the way they should right now. There is massive demand all over the country --39 million Americans out o f work, and this translates into no food on the table.”Shafiroff noted that a major issue during the pandemic has been getting food to the food banks, especially amid the shutdown of multiple meat processing plants across the country. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration(食品药品管理局) has even temporarily loosened its food labeling policies during the coronavirus pandemic and give producers more flexibility amid food shortages.According to a Brookings analysis, almost 35 percent of households with children said they did not have sufficient food, that's 14 percent higher than during the recession. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Shafiroff is encouraging those who can afford it to make donations to their local food bank. “I know my husband and I recently donated 10,000 meals to Heart of the Hamptons, which is a food bank in the Hamptons, because we feel so strongly about providing food and being part of th e solution,” said Shafiroff. "And of course, 10,000 meals really doesn't mean much when you look at a country with 39 million people out of work, but if we all work tog ether, I believe we can solve this problem.”1 What did New York City Mission Society do to the children ?A Helped children grow happily.B Treated children with coronavirus.C Provided children with food.D Gave children baskets of books.2 What did government do to solve food shortages ?A Gave more food to food banks and Americans who were out of work.B Relaxed policies to enable food production more flexible.C Issued policies to meet the food demand.D Helped Americans to find jobs amid pandemic.3 What does Shafiroff appeal people to do in last paragraph ?A To make donations if people have food or money.B Create more job chances for people.C Work together to fight against the pandemic.D Look after people who are suffering the virus.Passage 2 疫情中的“拥抱帘”创意Sometimes you just want a hug from your grandma. A little girl from Riverside, Calif., wanted to hug her grandparents, but couldn’t because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the family members to keep their distance from each other. Getting creative, 10-year-old Paige created a “hug curtain” using a shower curtain, plastic bags, disposable plates and a hot glue gun. Mom Lindsay Okray, who works as a nurse, supervised the set-up. On Facebook, the proud mom praised about Paige’s idea, which was then set up outside of the grandparents’ front door at home.“Paige saw a video of someone who made this type of ‘blanket’ to hug their family. She put together a list and she designed it so she could hug nana and papa.. this girl is so amazing, and w e were so happy to be able to hug them!!” Lindsay wrote on Facebook, along with photos and video of the girl using the “hug curtain.”In the photos and video of the curtain, the grandparents are seen taking turns giving Paige big hugs. “It might be wet from the Lysol(杀菌剂) wipe,” Lindsay can be heard off-camera saying, once the grandparents open the door. “Oh my God, I love you,” Grandma says, while excitedly embracing her granddaughter. “How cool is this?” she adds. Those on Facebook were equally pleased wi th the creation and praised Paige’s design. “God bless you sweetie. You are a wonderful granddaughter. And very smart,” one person commented. “So cute,” another wrote.“So great!” one person commented, while another simply wrote “Awesome!”Though the “hug” curtain is a sweet gesture, make sure you continue to protect yourself and others from the novel coronavirus by practicing proper hygiene(卫生) like washing your hands, wearing a face mask outside, and maintaining a safe social distancing of 6 feet from others, per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.1 Why did Paige create the “hug curtain” ?A To make use of extra plastic bags.B To give her grandparents hugs.C To post photos and videos on Facebook.D To show her creative talent.2 What is true about the “hug curtain” ?A It was firstly created by Paige.B It was made by Paige’s mother.C It was supposed to be worn.D It was partly made of plastic bags.3 What is the attitude of people on Facebook toward the “hug curtain”?A ComplimentaryB WorriedC UnconcernedD Annoyed4 What is the purpose of the last paragraph ?A Praise the hug curtain one more time.B Remind people to take protective measures.C Show people how to protect themselves.D Tell people how to fight against coronavirus.Passage 3 机器翻译比人工翻译好吗？For me, it was bacon. There I was, standing in the streets of Medellin, Colombia, looking hungrily at a delicious empanada(肉馅卷饼). The sign read 'queso y tocino'. Because I knew some essential Spanish vocabulary, I knew that 'queso' was cheese. But 'tocino'? I typed it into my smartphone translation app. What came back? 'Tocino'. I later learned that means 'bacon' in the local language. Computer-assisted translation is popular. Google Translate, for example, is used by more than 500 million people. But while convenient and easy to use, they are hardly perfect. Now, dropping the odd expression now and again is hardly important on an informal conversational level –as might happen to a tourist on holiday. But in more formal circumstances, such as a medical or legal discussion, the wrong expression can be disastrous. So, can a computer translator ever equal a human?The technology has come a long way. These days, people can wear a 'translation earpiece'. These pick up the foreign terms and translate it directly to the wearer. Andrew Ochoa, chief executive of US start-up Waverly Labs, a producer of one such earpiece, says they work by 'combining a network of algorithms(演算) and speech-recognition technology'. But they have limitations. Firstly, there's a delay while the phrase is translated. How long often depends on the connection strength. Secondly, they aren't able to communicate human emotion well. Human conversation is more sensitive than just the words used. It has tone, attitude, for example. "If you want to create a relationship…you need a human translator to make it sound natural," Zoey Cooper, brand and content director at Wordbank, a global marketing and translation agency, told the BBC.So, while many professional translators do use computer-assisted translation tools to help them with the repetitive nature of translation, context is important. It might work well for a survey or instruction manual, but for important human-to-human speech, and for the time being at least, better to use a translator, or your message might get mistaken or lost in translation.1 What did the author want to buy in Colombia?A some baconB a cheese hamburgerC a cheese and bacon empanadaD a smartphone2 When can a computer-assisted translation error be a big problem?A When a tourist is visiting.B When two doctors are having discussionC When two kids are having fun.D When we are reading a foreign magazine.3 How do translation earpieces work?A They calculate and recognize speech.B They search on the internet.C Humans do the translations behind them.D They translate by using smartphones.4 What are the disadvantages of translation earpieces?A They will show the results at once.B They are quite expensive.C They don’t need high technology.D They can’t express feelings.Passage 4 残疾女孩的创业路When Liu Yanzhi was a teenager, she would secretly apply her mother's lipstick and go out onto the streets in her wheelchair with her younger sister. However, many passersby gave her contemptuous looks, saying that it was silly for a disabled person to wear makeup. Her sister was often embarrassed and asked Liu not to do it. "I was quite angry," said Liu, who has been unable to walk since she contracted a fever when she was 8 months old. "Which law says disabled women can't wear makeup? Every woman has the right to pursue beauty. Wearing makeup makes women like me confident."At age 25, Liu－then a single mother with a baby daughter－used an interest-free loan arranged by the local government to open a beauty salon in her home county in Anhui province. Now, the 31-year-old owns a factory that produces her own brand of cosmetics. Her success did not come easy, though. In 2009, Liu took the gaokao, the annual college entry exam, and won a place at a vocational school(职业学校) in Hefei, Anhui's capital. After touring the campus, she declined the offer. Without her parents, the lack of accessiblefacilities would make her journey between the dormitory and teaching building an real challenge every day. "I lay in bed for three days thinking about what I should do," Liu said. "I dared not cry, because I could see how heartbroken my mother was." Instead, she sold ice cream, tended jewelry stalls and distributed leaflets. Whenever possible, she spoke with other retailers, looking for ways to achieve financial independence. Then, she worked in a local beauty salon for a couple of years. She earned a low wage, but discovered her career, learning massage techniques and how to apply makeup. She also became a qualified beautician and dietitian.In 2012, she obtained a 50,000 yuan ($7,000) loan, rented a street-front shop and opened a beauty salon. In the first two years, the salon lost money. Liu's mother asked her to give up, but she brushed concerns aside and traveled around the country to attend training sessions run by noted beauticians.1 What does the underlined word “contemptuous” probably mean in paragraph 1 ?A admirableB not caringC confusedD not respectful2 Why did Liu declined the offer of a vocational school ?A Because the journey to Anhui’s capital was long and hard.B Because her parents told her to refuse the offer.C Because the daily life on campus was challenging to her.D Because she thought the study was full of challenges.3 How can you describe Liu according to paragraph 3 ?A optimistic and hard-workingB considerate and beautifulC fortunate and strongD clever and thoughtful4 What will be talked about in the following paragraph ?A Liu traveled around the country.B Liu finally made it after training.C Liu went back to school for study.D Liu closed her beauty salon.passage 1 答案：1. C. 根据第一段最后一句，Recently, it has been making food and utility baskets for the children itserves and delivering them during the pandemic，最近，它一直在儿童制作食品和公用设施篮子，并在疫情期间运送这些篮子。

双语新闻阅读与练习2024年诺贝尔物理学奖公布双语新闻Back in the 1980s, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton set the stage for today’s artificial intelligence by using physics to identify patterns in information.早在20世纪80年代，约翰·霍普菲尔德和杰弗里·辛顿就利用物理学来识别信息中的模式，为今天的人工智能奠定了基础。

Their work now allows machines to mimic learning and remembering, functions that were previously thought to be the sole province of organic brains.现在，他们的研究使机器能够模仿学习和记忆，而这些功能在以前被认为是生物大脑的专属领域。

At a tech conference last year, Hinton emphasized the differences are smaller than you might think.在去年的一次科技会议上，辛顿强调，这种差异比你想象的要小得多。

“We’re just a machine. We’re a wonderful, incredibly complicated machine, but we’re just a big neural net. And there’s no reason why an artificial neural net shouldn’t be able to do everything we can do.”“我们只是一台机器。

2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解Passage 1 救援飞机使难民家庭重聚Some 50 asylum seekers (寻求庇护者) -- including unaccompanied children – had to stayed in Greece at camps with dirty living conditions were finally relocated to the U.K. on Monday to be reunited with family members. Migrants from Syria, Somalia and Afghanistan, which included 16 unaccompanied children and 34 adults, arrived in the U.K. under a program supported by the group called Safe Passage and a former member of British Parliament, Alf Dubs. "The conditions in the camps in Greece are truly awful - overcrowded, unsanitary. They're no place for children or vulnerable people, especially now. I'm grateful to the Home Office and the Greek government for allowing today's passengers to escape those horrors," Dubs wrote in a statement on Twitter.The families were reunited under the European Union's Dublin Regulation, which has allowed a refugee (难民) to be taken in by a close relative already in the country of destination. The move was held up by lockdown restrictions due to the coronavirus (新冠病毒), but it restarted after Greece eased limitations on May 4. Dubs said all the refugees had tested negative for coronavirus. On the return flight, 130 Greeks who had been delayed in Britain due to the travel restrictions will be sent back to Greece, the Greek Migration and Asylum Ministry announced.In total, the program has aimed to relocate about 1,600 unaccompanied refugee children to European countries. So far, Luxembourg has taken 12 children and Germany nearly 50, while Finland is set to take about 100 later this month. Government spokesman Stelios Petsas said Monday that a further 22 people are to be relocated to Switzerland. Tens of thousands of refugees and migrants, including thousands of unaccompanied children, have been living in awful conditions in overcrowded camps on several Greek islands after arriving from the nearby Turkish coast. Many more have been housed in camps, apartments and other shelters across the mainland.“It is proof and confirmation that modern challenges that go beyond the bo rders and capabilities of each country individually, are dealt with only with international cooperation and the joining of forces,” Alternate Migration and Asylum Minister Giorgos Koumoutsakos said.1 What does the underlined word “unsanitary” mean ?A unusualB impossibleC dirtyD normal2 How can a refugee be allowed in the UK according to the European Union's Dublin Regulation ?A If the refugee will find jobs in UK.B If the refugee has friends in the UK.C If the refugee can’t live outside the UK.D If the refugee has an uncle in the UK.3 What can we know form paragraph 3 ?A There are many refugee children waiting to be taken in by European countries.B The refugees have been housed only on Greek islands.C The living conditions in the camps are comfortable.D Those refugees and migrants lived in a big coast village together.4 What does Giorgos Koumoutsakos mean in the last paragraph ?A Challenges beyond the borders can’t be solved.B They can deal with modern challenges.C Modern challenges can be solved by international cooperation.D It has confirmed that each country can face challenge individually.Passage 2 是否要捕杀“杀人蜂”A man in northwest Spain, 54, died after being stung by a “murder hornet (大黄蜂),” according to a report. The man from Villestro in Galicia was stung in the eyebrow by an Asian giant hornet while tending to a nest close to a beehive he owned. The deadly insects from Asia were first spotted last weekend in Washington state. Such reports have caused a national fear that may lead to more “needless” damage to those essential insect populations, the experts warned. “Millions and millions of innocent native insects are going to die as a result of this,” Dr. Doug Yanega, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, told the Los Angeles Times. “People in China, Korea and Japan have lived side by side with these hornets for hundreds of years, and it has not caused the collapse (崩溃) of human society there. My colleagues in Japan, China and Korea are just rolling their eyes in disbelief at what kind of snowflakes we are.”Following the initial hornet sightings on May 2, the Washington State Department of Agriculture issued instructions on how to trap the hornets, stressing that so far, the hornets have been sighted only within the state. “Ther e are no known sightings of Asian giant hornets anywhere else in the United States and trapping for them there will likely do more harm than good. PLEASE DO NOT TRAP FOR ASIAN GIANT HORNETS IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON STATE,” the warning read. The concern for bees has originated from their role in the general ecosystem: Bees are responsible for pollinating (授粉) approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.Numerous bug experts told The Associated Press that what they call murder hornet reminds them of the 1970s public scare when Africanized honeybees, nicknamed “killer bees,” started moving north from South America. However, they just kill people in rare situations.1 What does Dr. Doug Yanega mean in paragraph 1 ?A People saw millions of hornet in China, Korea and Japan.B Many native insects will die because of national fear of hornets.C Asians are killed by hornets as well.D People living with hornets are safe.2 What does the underlined word “snowflakes” in paragraph 1 refer to ?A a small piece of snow that falls from the sky.B people who like snow weatherC someone considered to be too easily upsetD people who like to roll their eyes3 Why does trapping for hornets do more harm than good ?A Because they are seen only in Washington state.B Because insects do harm to general ecosystem.C Because Washington need hornets to maintain ecosystem.D Because most of plants in the US depend on insects to grow.4 What is the experts’ attitude toward trapping hornets ?A NegativeB SupportiveC UnconcernedD IndifferentPassage 3 阿根廷沙尘暴太空可见A dust storm over Argentina (阿根廷) earlier this year was so striking that it was captured from space. The image was taken March 7 by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as it was passing over South America just as the moving dust storm was roaring across southern Argentina. In the photo shared by NASA on Sunday, the dust cloud can be seen stretching to coastal areas. According to NASA, the primary source of the dust in the region is from Lago Colhué Huapí, a shallow lake near the much deeper lake Lago Musters. "During dry season, the water levels of ColhuéHuapídrop significantly due to evaporation (蒸发), leaving loose sand exposed at the surface," the space agency notes.The photo shows the lake is almost completely hidden by dust and clouds, as dust lifted off the ground in the form of what is known as "dust streamers" before blowing towards the coast. NASA notes that the dust features pictured in Argentina are also observed on Mars. "This striking weather event carried dust more than 120 kilometers (80 miles) east over land and eventually out over the Atlantic Ocean," according to NASA . The orbit (轨道) of the ISS allows astronauts to view areas of Earth at different times of day, providing unique views of such natural phenomena."Dust storms usually occur when strong winds lift large amounts of sand and dust from bare, dry soils into the atmosphere. They are usually caused by thunderstorms. Besides creating visibility issues and travel delays, the dust also presents "serious risks" for health. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), dust storms can occur anywhere in the U.S. but are most common in the Southwest. Dust storms present the biggest threat to motorists, as the advancing wall of dust may be miles long and several thousand feet high. "Blinding, choking dust can quickly reduce visibility, causing accidents that may involve chain collisions, creating massive pileups," according to the NWS. "Dust storms usually last only a few minutes, but the actions a driver takes during the storm may be the most important of his or her life."1 What is true about the dust storm over Argentina ?A The picture of the storm was taken by a pilot.B The primary source is from a shallow lake.C The dust cloud is heading to a mountain.D The dust storm can only be seen in dry season.2 Why can the dust storm phenomena be viewed in the space ?A Because ISS provide beneficial conditions for astronauts.B Because ISS is focusing on observing Argentina.C Because the dust storm went more than 120 kilometers.D Because the dust storm is coming near Atlantic Ocean.3 Why do dust storms present the biggest threat to motorists ?A Because dust storms are most common in the Southwest.B Because dust storms last only a few minutes.C Because there are many accidents during dust storms.D Because the situations on streets is not visible in dust.Passage 4 女子掉进黄石公园的温泉A woman who illegally entered Yellowstone National Park on May 12 has suffered burns after accidentally falling into a thermal feature (热景观) near its Old Faithful Geyser, officials said. The park has been closed to all visitors since March 24 due to safety precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic(新冠病毒大流行). "Water in hot springs can cause severe or fatal burns, and hot water underlies most of the thin, breakable surface around hot springs," the park advises on its website. "Hot springs have injured or killed more people in Yellowstone than any other natural feature." The woman, who is yet to be identified, was backing up while taking photos near the famous tourist attraction and fell into a hot spring or hole where hot gases emerge, according to park spokeswoman Linda Veress. Even with her injuries, she managed to hop back in her vehicle and drive about 50 miles until park guards stopped her. She was then sent to a burn center at a hospital in Idaho.Visitors are advised to stay on the boardwalks near Yellowstone's often boiling or acidic thermal features, which include geysers, hot springs, steam vents, and mud pots. This year, two tourists were sentenced to 10 days in prison for trespassing at the hot spring last September after they were caught walking “dangerously close” to the spout of the legendary geyser(间歇泉) without permission and taking photos on their cellphones.“Thermal are a safety is an extremely important part of any trip to Yellowstone. We ask visitors to take the Yellowstone Promise before coming to the park and to read the park visitor guide for more information on safety, rules, and regulations,” a spokesperson said fo llowing the incident last year. At times, tourists have taken risks off the designated walkways before being injured or killed. Last fall, a man who was walking off a boardwalk near Old Faithful at night fell into a hot spring, suffering serious burns. Back in June, a 23-year-old Oregon resident fell into a superheated, acidic mud pot and died. His remains couldn't be recovered.Yellowstone is announcing plans for a phased reopening on May 13. The incident remains under investigation, Veress said.1 What is true about the woman mentioned in paragraph 1 ?A She died in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday.B We don’t know who she is.C She drove to hospital after being injured.D She’s good at taking photos.2 What does the underlined word “trespassing” mean ?A damagingB taking photosC entering without permissionD drinking water from hot spring3 What should you do when visiting Yellowstone National Park ?A Have a camera and take photos.B Don’t go to hot spring area.C Follow visitor guide and be careful.D Don’t take the walkways.4 What can we learn about Yellowstone National Park ?A Visitors get injured or killed by hot spring the most.B It’s dangerous for visitors to take photos in the park.C Yellowstone National Park is the most famous one in the US.D Visitors will be allowed to enter the park at the end of the year.passage 1 答案：1. C. 根据第一段第一句…stayed in Greece at camps with dirty living conditions…, 可知难民营生活条件肮脏，The conditions in the camps in Greece are truly awful - overcrowded, unsanitary. 希腊难民营的条件真的很糟糕——过度拥挤，不卫生。

2020年高中英语时文新闻拓展阅读理解Passage 1 美国正积极研发新冠疫苗The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race to develop an effective coronavirus(新冠病毒) vaccine, Johns Hopkins University health policy and management professor Dr. Marty Makary told "Special Report" Wednesday. "There are 70 vaccines in different stages of development," said Makary, a Fox News contributor. "There are seven that are being given in patients right now. We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three."Makary added that the Chinese vaccines "are actually in further stages of development. Their drugs are in phase two or three, and it's a real race ...The country that gets there first will have a significant advantage because they will control the supply for the rest of the world and the risk is if we aren't there first, we could get locked out." The professor concluded that the search for a vaccine was "moving along," but added that "it will probably take a year" before such a treatment becomes widely available.Earlier Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious-disease expert and a member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, touted the drug remdesivir(瑞德西韦) for its "clear-cut significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery,” as reflected in new data. Makary said that while the National Institutes of Health study shows only a 31 percent reduction rate in recovery time, it could prove to be significant. "One thing to remember," Makary cautioned about remdesivir, "it's not a silver bullet. "It reduces the severity and probably increases recovery but also, this is an IV(静脉注射) medication, it's not something you can go to the pharmacy tonight and pick up." In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment, but Makary said it is likely to receive emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration "as early as this evening”.1 What does the underlined word “neck-and-neck” mean ?A work togetherB be friendsC at the equal levelD be enemies2 What is American’s challenge according to Makary’s statement ?A Use vaccines to save more people.B Give patients more vaccines for treatment.C Develop effective vaccines before China does.D Work with China to develop vaccines.3 What can we know about remdesivir ?A It can reduce the time to recovery.B People can’t purchase it easily in drug stores.4 Which would be the best title for this passage ?A The US is level with China in race for coronavirus vaccines.B Remdesivir can be the treatment for coronavirus vaccines.C Remdesivir need the regulatory approval.D Coronavirus vaccines should be developed soon.Passage 2 上海迪士尼恢复营业Shanghai Disneyland to reopen after shutting downMay 11 could be a very magical day for theme park lovers. As parts of the world start to reopen amid the coronavirus (新冠病毒) pandemic(大流行病), many people are looking to see how businesses will return after closing down. It’s likely that theme park lovers will be interested to see how the Disney parks alter their practices in response to the outbreak. Shanghai Disneyland announced that it will be reopening to the public on Monday. The park closed its doors on Jan. 25 as part of China’s efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, the outbreak has become a pandemic and Disney parks across the world have also been limited and shut their doors.In a statement, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said: “We know how much our guests have been looking forward to returning to Shanghai Disneyland, and our cast is excited to begin welcoming them back. As the park reopens with significantly enhanced health and safety measures, our guests will find Shanghai Disneyland as magical and memorable as ever.”When the park reopens, guests will be required to purchase admission tickets valid for certain dates only.

The supply of quality chefs is so abundant that some wealthy people say they’re getting cold-called about the latest candidate. “I received a call out of the blue asking if we wanted to hire a top chef who had worked for Jean-Georges,” one billionaire real estate developer told the NYPost's Side Dish.For unemployed chefs, it’s often the only way for them to make money doing what they love at a time when sit-down dining is prohibited by the state lockdown. “I was laid off six weeks ago. It just wasn’t possible to stay, no matter how much the chef wanted to keep us. I can’t stand not working. I miss being in the kitchen,” said Ian Tenzer, a 29-year-old former sous chef(副厨) at three-star Michelin restaurant Eleven Madison Park, named the world’s best restaurant in 2017. “Work ing as a private chef has always been a part of the industry I had thought about working in and, at this point in my career, it’s a good choice economically and professionally,” he added.Indeed, chefs who choose to work in private homes stand to get a 20 percent to 30 percent pay raise, as well as other perks (补贴) including better hours, sources said. Sous chefs at top restaurants can earn between $120,000 and $200,000 a year working full-time for a family, compared to closer to $100,000 working at a restaurant. One drawback is that you never know what kind of family you’ll get, chefs said. Some families are “lovely, adventurous and curious,” but others ca n be quite the opposite. They can be rude and “even physically and verbally abusive. I have heard horror stories,” said one chef who asked to remain1 Which is true about Chefs in New York city ?A Some of famous chefs are leaving the business to work in private homes.B Wealthy families invited chefs to work for them.C Chefs are being poached because billionaires need them.D Top chefs are rare in New York city.2 Which of the following can describe the underlined phrase “out of the blue” ?A from the skyB all of a suddenC in the morningD from a friend3 What can we know form paragraph 3 ?A Ian Tenzer was out of work because the chef didn’t need him.B There still many jobs for Ian Tenzer to do.C Ian Tenzer hadn’t considered working for private families.D Being a private chef can be economically helpful to Ian Tenzer.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Being a private chef can earn more.B Unemployed chefs are being personal cooks.C Chefs from New York City’s top restaurantsD Out-of-work chefs from top restaurantsPassage 4 为隔离患者捐赠iPadNo man is an island. But for the coronavirus (新冠病毒) patients in hospitals, they die alone – physically separated from the friends and family who love them. This cruel reality weighs heavily on a group of New York City volunteers whose mission is to actually connect patients with family members unable to be present due to hospital restrictions on visitors. Their solution: to collect used iPads from across the country and donate them to hospitals in underserved (缺医少药的) communities where the need is most serious. "It’s a heartbreaking scene," Nicolas Heller, a 31-year-old documentarian, said of the thousands of people who have died from the disease in isolation, without the comforting words or touch from a loved one. "A lot of these people are dying prematurely, whether they had medica l issues or not. It’s crushing." said Heller, who is part of iPads to Hospitals, an organization – founded by two medical students, Amy Johnson and Jeff Arace –that is collecting used iPads for patients who do not own smartphones capable of video chatting.equipment, such as masks and gloves. The tablet computers can allow medical staff to communicate with patients from outside of the room, decreasing their risk of exposure to the virus.As of Friday morning, the group said it has received 375 used iPads from donors nationwide and raised more than $22,000 through its GoFundMe page to purchase more devices. So far, 50 of the iPads have been donated to Brooklyn’s COVID-only site, University Hospital of Brooklyn at SUNY Downstate, whose staff expressed the critical impact the devices can have on patients and also healthcare workers."The lifeblood of what we’re doing is making use of people’s iPads that are in their drawers and on their desks that they don’t use anymore," said Ian Kaplan, a film director from Brooklyn. "I’ve had every make and model of iPad ever made in my hands in the last week," said 29-year-old Kaplan. "With the exception of the first model, which doesn’t have a camera, we can make use of any iPad. However, we are nowhere near meeting the demand of every hospital that we speak with.”1 Why do volunteers collect used iPads ?A To make better use of iPads.B To collect and sell them to patients.C To enable patients to contact with their family.D To equip underserved communities.2 What can we know according to paragraph 2 ?A Heller is one of iPads to Hospitals’s founders.B Hospital staff can use iPads to contact with their family.C These iPads can be beneficial to medical workers.D These iPads can protect hospital staff from the virus.3 What can we infer from the statement of Ian Kaplan ?A People donated iPads because they wanted to buy new ones.B Every make and model of iPad can be used in hospitals.C Those iPads in his hands are all with cameras.D There is still a lot of iPads needed to meet the demand.4 What is the main idea of this passage ?A Patients in hospitals are physically separated.B Group collects used iPads to connect patients with family.C How was iPads to Hospitals founded by two medical students.D How to collect iPads for hospitals.Passage 5 澳大利亚森林大火The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia's capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze Sunday and air quality at midday was measured at 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. The early and damaging sta rt to Australia’s summer wildfires, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (毁灭性的) for the country's wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told the Sydney Morning Herald.Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight the flames that have burned millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the rural fire service (RFS) said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, 64 of them uncontrolled.On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists (后备军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire-fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, a day after thousands were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.1 What does the underlined phrase “fed by” mean ?A get food from someoneB be strengthened by somethingC be destroyed by somethingD under control of something2 Why were there thunderstorms and tornadoes ?A Because the fires generated thunderstorms and tornadoes.B Because there was rainy weather.C Because the fires generated enough heat to create extreme weather.D Because the weather systems is easy to change.3 What can we learn form the last paragraph ?A Many soldiers will fight against the fires as they have done before.B Fires were controlled due to cooler temperatures and lighter winds.C A lot of people moved out of the suburban areas.D Damage to property and wildlife is limited.4 What would be the best title for this passage ?A Australia's destructive wildfiresB Soldiers fought against the firesC Wildlife died form the firesD Australia’s wildfires was under control1. C.根据第一段中，The United States is "neck-and-neck" with China in the race todevelop an effective coronavirus vaccine中的race一词，及最后一句We’re sort of neck-and-neck with China -- we've got three, they've got three. 可知，美国和中国目前处于同样的疫苗研发阶段，正在比赛哪国先研制出有效的新冠病毒疫苗。

高三英语双语新闻阅读（一）法国文化部长称“没时间读书”被要求下台Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin admists she doesn't have time to readWhen French novelist Patrick Modiano won the Nobel Prize for literature earlier in October, the country‘s Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin said it showed the ―influence and vitality of French literature in the eyes of the world‖.But in an interview with Canal+ on Sunday, Pellerin was forced to admit that she had never read any of the acclaimed French author‘s novels.―I haven‘t had time to read any thing in the last two years except for a lot of notes, legislative texts and news wires,‖ she said.Not many people outside France had ever heard of Modiano when he was presented with his prize.But in France, the culture minister is expected to be a b eacon of the country‘s cultural achievements.And for many, a complete ignorance of France‘s top literary laureate is an unforgivable sin.Writer Tahar Ben Jelloun, who is on the jury for France‘s prestigious Goncourt literature prize, told France Inte r radio that Pellerin‘s lack of knowledge was ―shameful‖.―It‘s very sad,‖ he said. ―It is a culture minister's political duty to delve into literature. It is not possible that she hasn‘t read a single Modiano novel. It is lamentable, but then we live in an era when culture is not taken seriously at all.‖Writing in the Huffington Post on Monday, commentator Claude Askolovitch said Pellerin‘s failure to stay tuned in to the country‘s literary achievements was ―barbarian‖ and called on the minister to re sign.―If you can be a culture minister without reading books, what we are reduced to [culturally] are technicalities and budgets,‖ he wrote. ―Nothing will uplift us, the soul is an illusion and all the great works are reduced to less than the minutes of a cabinet meeting.‖What annoyed Askolovitch even more was that Pellerin had not even bothered to pretend: ―She isn‘t the slightest bit interested in Modiano."He added: ―She didn‘t bother to look up one book, or a single phrase, to make it look like she knows about him. She didn‘t even want to pretend.‖Pellerin, 42, became culture minister in August following a cabinet reshuffle, having previously served as a junior minister for tourism and external trade as well as being responsible for promoting small and medium-sized businesses, innovation and the digital economy.French news site lepoint.fr on Monday called for the overworked minister to be given a break.―We should welcome her frankness in telling us that a minister‘s schedule leaves little place for the calm needed to enjoy reading,‖ the site said in an editorial.―In not mugging up on notes about the author, she spared us from a lie.‖据France24网站10月27日报道，法国文化部长芙勒·佩乐琳(Fleur Pellerin)在电视采访中表示，两年来她从未读过任何一部小说，对获得诺贝尔奖的法国小说家帕特里克·莫迪亚诺(Patrick Modiano)的作品也一无所知。

南充一中高2017届高三10月最新英语阅读文章A Recall could cost billionsSouth Korean electronics giant Samsung, has suffered one of the biggest and most expensive product scandals in recent history. Its latest smartphone flagship, the Galaxy Note 7, rolled out to much fanfare on Aug 2, but had to be recalled in several markets within mere weeks. Dozens of buyers around the world complained of severe overheating in the phone’s battery, causing fires and even explosions in some cases. The complaints led Samsung to announce a recall, offering replacement handsets with upgraded batteries in the US, or software patches in its home market of South Korea.In China, Samsung assured consumers that Note 7 units sold in the country had a different battery supplier, and were therefore safe from overheating. Despite some Chinese Note 7 owners reporting overheating, Samsung insisted all units sold in China were safe. However, China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said on Oct 11 that Samsung is to recall Galaxy Note 7 phones on the Chinese mainland. Users may replace their recalled phones with other Samsung smartphones or get a full refund, the administration said.In the US, where supposedly safe replacements were issued, some exchanged phones continued to suffer from issues, with some units overheating and catching fire. Samsung eventually announced a second recall and permanent discontinuation of the Note 7 model on Oct 11, offering full refunds or exchanges to alternative models. Asides from the huge blow to its reputation globally –the effects of which are yet to be seen – investment bank Credit Suisse estimates that Samsung could lose as much as $17 billion (114 billion yuan) in revenue following this *fiasco.近日，韩国电子巨头三星遭受了一桩近些年来最大、损失最多的产品丑闻。
