The driver, Zhang Sal, wandered outside ...

    The driver, Zhang Sal, wandered outside an apartment building in Wuhan, the central Chinese city at the heart of the Coronavirus(冠状病毒) outbreak. He had been ordered not to take food to customers’ doors in order to minimize the risk of infection. But the woman on the phone was pleading, he recalled. The food was for her mother, who couldn't go down to meet him.

Mr. Zhang relented. He would drop off the order and sprint away, As he placed the bag on the floor, Mr. Zhang said, the door opened. Startled, he rushed away. Without thinking, he said, he jabbed the elevator button with his finger, touching a surface he feared could transmit the virus.

That was how Mr. Zhang, 32, found himself speeding back to his delivery station with one finger held high in the air, careful not to touch the rest of his hand-a quarantine in miniature. (小型隔离现场)

For many in China, delivery drivers like Mr. Zhang are the only connection to the outside world. Once a common but invisible presence on the streets of nearly every Chinese city, the drivers are now being praised as heroes.

Throughout China, at least 760 million people-almost a tenth of the world’s population-face some form of household lockdown. The rules are particularly strict in Wuhan, where government efforts to contain the virus have blocked most of the 11 million residents in their homes.

Each household can send someone out for necessities just once every three days. Many residents do not go outside at all, for fear of infection of the more than 2, 100 deaths and nearly 75,000 infections linked to the new virus, the majority have been in Wuhan.

But people still have to eat, which is why Mr. Zhang and many delivery drivers find themselves on the street each day As Wuhan and the rest of China stay at home, they have become the country’s vital arteries, keeping fresh meat, vegetables and other supplies flowing to those who need them.

It is grueling and dangerous work. Mr. Zhang, who works for Hema, a supermarket chain owned by the tech giant Alibaba, crisscrosses the city armed only with the face masks and hand sanitizer that his company supplies each morning.

The epidemic (疫情) has brought some unexpected bright spots. Before, Mr. Zhang said, he sometimes ran red lights during rush hour in order to meet his delivery goals for the day. Now, the streets are empty. He has no problem getting around.

People are nicer, too. Some customers hardly opened the door or avoided eye contact. After the outbreak erupted, everyone said thank you.

1.Why did Zhang Sai wander outside an apartment building in Wuhan? Because______________.

A.He was unwilling to take food to customers ‘doors.

B.He was afraid of being infected by the Coronavirus outbreak.

C.The woman on the phone forbade him to to take food to her door.

D.He was forbidden to take food to customers’ doors.

2.Which of the following can describe the work of delivery drivers after the outbreak of the epidemic?

A.Risky and important. B.Necessary and light-hearted.

C.Easy and creative. D.Valuable and hard-working.

3.What does the underlined part “bright spots” mean in the ninth paragraph?

A.Marks on something. B.Bright places.

C.Difficult situations. D.Good things in a bad situation.

4.Why did people become nicer and say thank you to delivery drivers after the outbreak erupted?

A.Because people need them to deliver necessities.

B.Because people have realized the value of their job.

C.Because of the outbreak of the epidemic.

D.Because of the danger of infection.

 

1.D 2.A 3.D 4.B 【解析】 本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述在疫情爆发期间,骑手们给被困家中的人们配送物资,成为与外界的唯一联系,他们的工作也得到人们的认可,变得更重要和更有价值。 1.细节理解题。文章第一段The driver, Zhang Sal, wandered outside an apartment building in Wuhan, the central Chinese city at the heart of the Coronavirus(冠状病毒) outbreak. He had been ordered not to take food to customers’ doors in order to minimize the risk of infection. 骑手张赛在位于冠状病毒疫情中心的中国中部城市武汉的一幢公寓楼外踌躇。为了减少感染的风险,他得到的命令是不得将食物送到顾客的家门口。由此可知禁止他把食物送到顾客的家门口,故选D。 2.推理判断题。文章第四段第一句For many in China, delivery drivers like Mr. Zhang are the only connection to the outside world. 对于许多中国人来说,像张赛这样的送货骑手是他们与外界唯一的联系。第七段they have become the country’s vital arteries, keeping fresh meat, vegetables and other supplies flowing to those who need them. 他们已经变成了这个国家的重要动脉,让新鲜的肉、蔬菜和其他物资流向需要的人。第八段It is grueling and dangerous work. 这是艰巨而危险的工作。由此可以推断出疫情爆发后,骑手的工作是危险的,也是重要的,故选A。 3.词义猜测题。第九段Before, Mr. Zhang said, he sometimes ran red lights during rush hour in order to meet his delivery goals for the day. Now, the streets are empty. He has no problem getting around. 张赛说,以前,他有时为了完成当天的递送任务在高峰时段闯红灯。现在,街道空无一人。他去哪都很顺畅。再根据The epidemic (疫情) has brought some unexpected bright spots.疫情带来了一些意想不到的亮点,由此推断就是在坏的情况下也有好的事情发生,故选D 4.细节理解题。文章第七段But people still have to eat, which is why Mr. Zhang and many delivery drivers find themselves on the street each day As Wuhan and the rest of China stay at home, they have become the country’s vital arteries, keeping fresh meat, vegetables and other supplies flowing to those who need them. 但是人们还是得吃饭——这就是为什么张赛和大批送货骑手每天都在街上忙碌的原因。随着武汉和中国其他地区的人们困守家中,他们已经变成了这个国家的重要动脉,让新鲜的肉、蔬菜和其他物资流向需要的人。他们解决了被困家中人们的必需品的配送,人们意识到骑手工作的价值,所以人们感谢他们,故选B。

    When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

1.The second paragraph is developed mainly_____________.

A.by analysis. B.by process.

C.by example. D.by contrast.

2.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?

A.A medical team. B.Financial support.

C.A water plant. D.An exchange program.

3.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?

A.Providing food is vital. B.Leaning to fish is helpful.

C.Looking after others is important. D.Teaching techniques is vital.

4.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?

A.It is facing difficulties

B.It should be given in the form of materials.

C.It has gained support by developed countries

D.It is unnecessary during normal times.
