24、   In difficult times, there are always people who step up and bring people hope and confidence. One of them is Zhong Nanshan.

"Please don't travel to Wuhan unless it's absolutely necessary," Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, an 84-year-old man, took the train to Wuhan to fight the disease.

Known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003, Zhong's image and messages are flooding (遍布) social media. Many people say they "trust every word of Zhong". He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle.

A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues (同事) to send their most serious patients to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted (采纳) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People's Daily reported.

Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar. In 2003, when authorities (官方) said that the SARS virus was under control, he publicly refuted their statement. "It's not all under control," Zhong said in a later interview. His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.

Back to the frontlines

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong doesn't seem worried about his own safety.

On Jan 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People's Daily wrote, "the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation."

【1】What can we know about Zhong Nanshan from the passage except ?

A.He is an expert. B.He is confident. C.He is greedy. D.He is brave.

【2】What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?

A.He developed the test kit for the disease. B.He treated the most serious patients online.

C.His treatment plan saved lots of people. D.He started that SARS was under control.

【3】What does the underlined word "refute" mean?

A.To support others' opinions. B.To say that a statement was not true.

C.To laugh at the authorities. D.To be in the fight against the epidemic (流行病).

【4】What has Zhong done to fight the disease?

A.He made certain that the virus could spread between humans.

B.He treated four severe patients in a day.

C.He treated five patients online alone.

D.The test kit from his team can show results within 15 seconds.

【5】The aim of the story is to .

A.encourage people to stay at home B.state the importance of Zhong's warning

C.guide people to be honest and brave D.praise Zhong's courage and spirit

25、   Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)－allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

【1】According to the text, living in a “smart” city _______.

A.will cost lots of money B.will be far from you

C.will soon become true D.is completely impossible

【2】Paragraph 2 is mainly about _______.

A.a city of the future B.a meeting in Songdo

C.a plan to build a house D.a report on public health

【3】Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to _______.

A.drive people out of cities B.control the world’s population

C.develop his own company D.solve the cities’ coming problems

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.Great Changes B.Famous Companies

C.Future Education D.Smart Cities in the Future
