Question

    Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, the co-founder of the online retail giant Alibaba, said he is donating 500,000 testing kits and 1 million masks to the United States to fight the spread of coronavirus (冠状病毒). The China-made protective gear and test kits took off from Shanghai's airport in a chartered (包租的) cargo plane Monday morning, and will be handed over to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) when they arrive.

The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation have donated much-needed materials to areas suffering in the epidemic (泛滥) over the past few weeks, including Japan, South Korea, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Spain, according to a tweet (推文) from the Jack Ma Foundation on Friday.

Ma said the outbreak presents “a huge challenge to all humankind in a globalized world,” and that he has drawn from his own country's experience that quick and accurate testing as well as protective equipment for medical personnel are most effective in preventing the spread of the virus.

The past experience shows us that if we take it very seriously and are positive, we surely have the ability to kill out the virus.

Now it is as if we were all living in the same forest on fire. As members of the global community, it would be irresponsible of us to sit on the fence, panic, ignore facts or fail to act. We need to take action now!

【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。阿里巴巴负责人马云，在新冠病毒疫情爆发后，给一些国家捐赠物资，并号召全球团结一心，共同抗击疫情。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation have donated much-needed materials to areas suffering in the epidemic (泛滥) over the past few weeks, including Japan, South Korea, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Spain可知，马云基金会和阿里巴巴基金会给在过去几周中遭受流行病折磨的地区捐赠了急需的材料，包括日本、南韩、意大利、埃及、伊朗和西班牙。因此，北韩没收到捐赠。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段Ma said the outbreak presents “a huge challenge to all humankind in a globalized world,” and that he has drawn from his own country's experience that quick and accurate testing as well as protective equipment for medical personnel are most effective in preventing the spread of the virus.可知，马说，在全球化中的世界里，疫情给人类提出了巨大挑战。他根据本国的经验指出，快速准确的测试和医务人员的防护用品在阻止病毒蔓延中是最有效的。因此，根据中国经验，阻止病毒传播最有效的方式是检测和医护人员的防护设备。故选B。

3.词句猜测题。根据最后一段As members of the global community, it would be irresponsible of us to sit on the fence, panic, ignore facts or fail to act. We need to take action now!可知，作为国际社会的一员，我们坐视不理、惊慌失措、无视事实或不行动都是不负责任的。现在，我们需要采取行动。由此可以推测，下划线的句子Now it is as if we were all living in the same forest on fire.意思是，现在，我们都面临着同样的问题——冠状病毒。故选B。

4.细节理解题。根据第二段The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation have donated much-needed materials to areas suffering in the epidemic (泛滥) over the past few weeks, including Japan, South Korea, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Spain可知，马云基金会和阿里巴巴基金会给在过去几周中遭受流行病折磨的地区捐赠了急需物资，包括日本、南韩、意大利、埃及、伊朗和西班牙。由此可知，马云也向非洲的埃及捐赠了急需物资。故C选项“ 马云仅仅向亚洲、美洲和欧洲国家捐赠了急需的物资”。是错误的。故选C。
