21、Dynamic clearing

Dynamic clearing policy means stamping out an outbreak whenever it occurs and doing so in a relatively short time frame so it won’t lead to community spread. 【1】. Here are some reasons to stick to dynamic clearing policy.

Putting people first

China’s dynamic clearing approach is characterized by its adherence to the principle of “people and life first”. The number of deaths attributable to the Omicron variant of the virus is more than those caused by the Delta variant. The WHO has rightly called the death toll “beyond tragic”.

With the largest senior population in the world, China has a sizable number of people with chronic underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. 【2】.

A scientific approach

The dynamic clearing policy China has adopted is a scientific approach to fighting the novel coronavirus in line with its national conditions. It is wrong to consider the Omicron variant of the virus as no worse than the virus that causes the common flu.

It is irresponsible for some politicians to compare infections of the Omicron variant to a “flu”. It is not supported by any scientific evidence. 【3】.

A timely strategy

Dynamic clearance measures change in accordance with the situation. If an outbreak is detected early, health workers only need to quarantine and treat patients while keeping an eye on quarantined close contacts.

Under the policy, so long as there is no community spread, it is acceptable for cases to exist in quarantine because they are temporarily isolated.

【4】

The dynamic clearing policy has so far proved successful in striking a delicate balance between maintaining economic and social development and controlling the spread of the virus.

【5】, enabling it to resume its economic activities and keep transmission of the virus localized whenever a cluster of infections appears.

A．Changing the world

B．Supporting the global economy

C．It does not mean the whole country has no infected cases

D．They do so out of a cynical need to cover up their failure in responding to it

E．It is this policy that has made it possible for China to control the virus most rapidly

F．This has enabled China to continue to serve as the bedrock of the global supply chain

G．China’s public health system would face unbearable pressure from a nationwide outbreak

22、Four female pioneers from different fields will soon appear on some US coins. Generations to come will look at the coins bearing these designs and be reminded of what can be accomplished with determination and a desire to improve opportunities for all.

Anna May Wong

Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 movies. Her coin shows her resting her head on her hand, surrounded by the round lights of a stage.

Maya Angelou

The late writer, performer and social activist has already received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, won a National Book Award, and published more than 30 bestselling poems.

Angelou’s coin will show her with her arms uplifted, in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun. Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived.

Sally Ride

The late astronaut, physicist and educator is best known as the first American woman—and youngest American—to travel to space. After her retirement, she devoted herself to inspiring young people, particularly girls, in science, engineering, technology and math.

Her coin design shows her standing next to a window on a spaceship, which is inspired by what she once said. “When I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.”

Wilma Mankiller

Mankiller was the first elected female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1987, and is celebrated as an activist for Native American and women’s rights. During her two terms in office, she doubled her community’s employment and built new housing, health centers and children’s programs in northeast Oklahoma. Under her leadership, infant death rate declined and educational levels rose.

Mankiller’s coin shows her in a traditional dress in front of the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation.

【1】Which symbol is related to Maya Angelou?

A．A setting sun.

B．A flying bird.

C．A window.

D．A seven-pointed star.

23、You may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many jobs, at school, and in social situations. But there’s something you should know. 【1】. Read to learn whether you might be classified as inactive or sedentary (久坐的).

What counts as being physically inactive?

While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is. One measure is the time an individual spends seated during waking hours. 【2】. Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than 5, 000 steps per day.   

Is physical inactivity dangerous?

【3】 It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories. Over the long term, sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from heart discase and cancer.     

How can you prevent being inactive?

Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either 30 minutes a day for five days a week or a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. 【4】. It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps. Many people aim to take 10. 000 steps per day, which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal. 【5】, but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.

A．Walking is an easy activity to add to your day

B．There are many options for exercise

C．Being physically inactive or sedentary can increase health risks

D．In the short term, being inactive can increase depression or anxiety

G． Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health

24、Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin have finally solved the mystery of a huge fossil(化石）that has been unlabeled and unidentified sitting at a Chilean museum for almost a decade. The relic which looks like a flat football, is the largest known soft-shelled egg from a marine reptile（海生爬行动物）that lived on the earth over 66 million years ago. Measuring more than 11 by 7 inches» it is also the second-largest egg belonging to any known animal, only behind the now-extinct elephant bird.

The rare fossil named " The Thing" was discovered inside a rock formation in Seymour Island off the coast of Antarctica in 2011 by a team of researchers including David Rubilar-Rogers. Over the years, the paleontologist（古生物学者）at Chile's National Museum of Natural History has showed the strange fossil to every geologist that came to the museum. However, no one was able to identify “The Thing's" origin until Julia Clarke» a professor at UT-Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences, visited in 2018.

“I showed it to her, and, after a few minutes, Julia told me it could be an egg!" Rubilar-Rogers said.

To confirm Clarke's suspect, Lucas Legendre, a student at UT-Austin who led the study, examined the fossil under a microscope. Sure enough, he found several layers of membrane（薄膜），confirming that the fossil was indeed a soft-shelled egg, similar to the obvious, quick-hatching eggs laid by some modern-day snakes. “The shell is very thin,” said Clarke.

The fossil's identification led to an even bigger mystery—what animal could have laid an egg this size? After considering several potential parents, the researchers concluded that the egg was laid by an ancient marine reptile like a masseur（沧龙）. The fact that the rock formation where the egg had been found had fossil evidence of baby masseurs and the offspring of other marine animals further strengthened their theory.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．“The Thing” is the largest egg laid by animals.

B．“The Thing" has been discovered for a century.

C．“The Thing” looks like a football not having enough gas.

D．“The Thing” belongs to an elephant bird.

【2】What is Clarke's guess about “The Thing”？

A．It may be laid by a snake.

B．It could be an egg.

C．It has a very thick shell.

D．It has existed for 66 thousand years.

【3】How did Legendre test Clarke's guess?

A．By comparing the fossil with the eggs of various animals.

B．By analyzing a lot of data collected by researchers.

C．By doing many experiments with his colleagues.

D．By using a microscope to examine "The thing"・

【4】What docs "their theory" in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The egg's potential parents arc snakes・

B．An ancient marine reptile laid the egg.

C．The size of the eggs lies in the weight of the animals.

D．The way of rock formation affects the egg.
