Question

    In early 2020, a new disease called NCP（新型冠状病毒肺炎） hit Wuhan. It is reported that most people infected（感染）with the NPC looked like they had the common flu. They usually had a fever, a cough and shortness of breath. However, it spread so quickly that around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected, and more than three thousand of them have died so far.

The Chinese government closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease on 23^rd 2020. At the same time, cases have been found across the world, including Korea and Japan. Local government tried its best to do something useful to stop the further development of this disease. In order to treat more and more patients infected with the NCP, Huoshenshan Hospital was set up in Wuhan. And it was built in just ten days.

More than 7,500 workers and around 1,000 trucks and large pieces of machines have been working at the Huoshenshan Hospital building site day and night. Around 400 rooms in the hospital have already been finished so far. The project began on January 25 and finished on February 2. And 1,400 doctors began to treat patients in Huoshenshan Hospital. There are 1,000 beds for patients in the hospital.

China also built a second hospital in Wuhan for treating the patients, with 1,600 beds. Leishenshan Hospital was completed on February 5. The hospital reduced the stress resulting from the increasing number of patients. This played an important role in standing up to the NCP.

【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了在2020年初，新型冠状病毒肺炎在中国武汉爆发，中国政府立即采取措施，建立了火神山医院和雷神山医院，这在抗击疫情方面起到了重大作用。

1.

细节理解。About 10 thousand 大约1万； about 3 thousand大约3千；About 7500 大约7500； About 1000大约1000。根据文中“and more than three thousand of them have died so far.” 到目前为止已经有超过三千人死亡。故选B。

2.

词句猜测。rising up上升；spreading to传播到； infecting with感染； fighting against对抗。根据上文“The hospital reduced the stress resulting from the increasing number of patients. ” 雷神山医院2月5日竣工。这家医院减轻了病人人数增加带来的压力。及“This played an important role in”这在……方面起重要作用，这里是对抗新型冠状病毒肺炎方面。这里standing up to相当于fighting against。故选D。

3.

推理判断。根据文中“More than 7,500 workers and around 1,000 trucks and large pieces of machines have been working at the Huoshenshan Hospital building site day and night.” 7500多名工人和大约1000辆卡车和大型机器日夜在火神山医院大楼工地工作。可知选项A“More than 7,500 workers put their effort into building it.”说法正确的；根据文中“The project began on January 25 and finished on February 2.” 这项工程于1月25日开工，2月2日竣工。可知，这个说法“It was completed in only ten days.”是正确的；根据文中“The project began on January 25 and finished on February 2”这个医院在2月2日竣工，这个说法“Huoshenshan Hospital was finished on February 5.”是错误的；根据文中“There are 1,000 beds for patients in the hospital.” 这家医院有1000张病床。可知这个说法“There are 1,000 beds for patients in the hospital.”是正确的。故选C。

4.

推理判断。a travel guide一本旅游指南； A news magazine新闻杂志； A sports report. 体育报道； A history magazine.历史杂志。通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要介绍了在抗击新冠肺炎中起着决定作用的两个医院：火神山和雷神山医院的介绍。可知在新闻杂志中看到。故选B。
