25、When we think of paper, we think of newspapers and books. But there are many other uses. Only half of the world’s paper is used for books and newspapers.

Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men sleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland, it is sometimes -40℃ in winter. The farmers wear paper boots (靴子) in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.

Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.

The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.

26、Cabin hospitals save more lives

Feng Bangli, from Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected that he had been infected with the virus. He tried several times to be admitted to a hospital but failed. He finally gave up and stayed at home, taking drugs given by doctors.

“At that time, too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive for COVID-19 and was sent to a makeshift hospital (临时医院) for treatment.

“Without such makeshift hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng.

Like Feng, over 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 makeshift hospitals. These hospitals were mainly used to receive patients with mild symptoms (轻症).

“Building makeshift hospitals was a key decision made in such an important moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic (疫情) control, and it has played an important role in both prevention and treatment of the disease,” he said.

“Makeshift hospitals have greatly eased pressure and made it possible to treat and isolate people in need,” said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang makeshift hospital.

Makeshift hospitals have now been copied in other countries. Eight makeshift hospitals are being built in Tehran, Iran, to fight against the virus. The one changed from the Iran Mall, the largest shopping mall in the country, is expected to have a total of 3,000 beds, according to People’s Daily.

On March 29, New York changed a grassy meadow in Central Park into a makeshift hospital, where it will provide 68 hospital beds.

“Considering the ways we can increase hospital capacity right now is very important,” says Dr Andrew Ibrahim, a surgeon at the University of Michigan told Architecture. “If hospitals can’t receive more patients, new facilities need to be built up.”

【1】What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．new.

B．basic.

C．tough.

D．strange.

【2】What did Dr Andrew Ibrahim think of Tehran’s and New York’s new makeshift hospitals?

A．They wasted resources.

B．They were greatly helpful.

C．They were not practical.

D．They would not be as useful as China’s.

【3】What is the main purpose of the article?

A．To praise China’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

B．To call on other countries to copy China’s method of fighting the virus.

C．To show the value of building makeshift hospitals to fight COVID-19.

D．To compare the measures different countries have taken to deal with COVID-19.

27、April Fool’s Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fool’s Day of 2016 was quite different for my mom and me.

That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦). I broke my arm.

Jimmy’s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fool’s Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all that was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy’s mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she simply believed that was just a big trick.

I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

【1】What happened to the writer on the April Fool’s Day of 2016?

A．He dreamed a terrible dream.

B．He was hurt by Jimmy.

C．He had an accident.

D．He fooled his mom with his friend.

【2】Why did Jimmy’s dad phone the writer’s mom?

A．Because he wanted to play a joke on her.

B．Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to pay the money.

C．Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her son.

D．Because he wanted to tell her of the accident.

【3】What does the underlined sentence “Mom was not buying it” mean?

A．She didn’t believe what Jimmy’s dad said.

B．She would not like to pay the money.

C．She had no preparation for the bad news.

D．She thought her son deserved (应受) it.

【4】Why did the writer mention the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

A．Because he thought it was his mom’s fault.

B．Because he had a lesson like that.

C．Because he was proud of his story,

D．Because he felt he was luckier than that boy.

【5】From the passage we can infer that _________.

A．the writer’s mom didn’t care much about him

B．the writer was a dishonest person

C．the writer won’t play jokes as before

D．the writer will lose interest in games

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

Have you ever picked strawberries yourself? They look nice, but light pressure can make them out of shape, so you have to be very c【1】when picking them. Nowadays, there are many children who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. There is a n【2】 for them — “strawberry kids”.

Why are many children so e【3】 to break down? Many students are the only child in their family. Their parents do almost e【4】 for them in their daily life. They hardly ever get criticized (批评) at home and always feel good about t【5】. If these students are criticized strictly by teachers, they will feel upset and begin to doubt their own ability. And many schools care more about students’ grades instead of d【6】 their personalities. As a result, students get satisfying grades while they are not mentally (精神上地) strong e【7】.

Young people should learn how to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “Whenever you are in t【8】, don’t ask for help at once. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. Take an a【9】 part in sports and social activities. That can help you become mentally strong.”

Growing up is not just a happy process (过程). P【10】 also go along. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.
