    Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans.

“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting  animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.

Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair’s team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It’s early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.

“We’re going by the past data to really predict what’s going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, that’s sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that’s just increasing as we go forward.”

Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’s public health school, argues we don’t yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.

1.How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?

A.By breaking animals’ habits.

B.By increasing animals’ varieties.

C.By promoting animals’ breeding.

D.By changing animals’ living environment.

2.What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?

A.Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.

B.Proving the harm of bats to human beings.

C.Showing the effects of climate change on disease.

D.Presenting scientists’ early study about the cause of disease.

3.What can we infer from Fair’s words in paragraph 4?

A.Humans should give up studying animals.

B.Past data can solve the problems in the future.

C.Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.

D.Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.

4.What could be the best title for the text?

A.Climate Change and Disease Spillover

B.Animals’ Interaction with Humans

C.Scientists’ Prediction for Disease Outbreaks

D.Early Studies about Extreme Weather

    Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don't realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.

Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde­haired with white skin and light blue eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings(穿孔) are. This tribe's culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don't look fierce, you are not beautiful.

Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North Korea and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. But don't you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?

1.What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.different B.reasonable.

C.unusual. D.similar.

2.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes ________.

A.getting dirty is stylish

B.looking fierce is beautiful

C.strong people cut their skin

D.American girls love shopping

3.According to the woman interviewed，women in North Korea now ________.

A.care a lot about their appearance

B.put the beauty of eyes in the first place

C.pay great attention to their ability

D.are crazy about double eyelid surgery

4.What does the text mainly tell us?

A.Inner beauty is of great importance.

B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.

C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.

D.Fashion magazines easily influence young people.

    Heroic mother cat Lele gave birth to four kittens at home and lived alone for over 50 days in Wuhan, when its owners, a family of seven, were in hospital for treatment of novel coronavirus. In late January, Lele's owner, surnamed Chen, was infected with novel coronavirus and has been in hospital since then. Several days later, Chen's father, and five other family members all tested positive for the virus, leaving pregnant cat mom Lele alone at home.

For fear of cross-infection, Chen didn't ask friends to take care of Lele, but prepared two bags of cat food weighing about 24 pounds and some water at home.

As he gradually recovered in the hospital, worries about Lele, the expectant mother, always haunted him.

Fifty-four days later, when Chen' s family got back home, they were surprised to find Lele had already given birth to four kittens.

The four were healthy and active and have been weaning (断奶) from their mother's. According to Chen, Lele survived on the cat food and water found in a fish pond on the balcony. Since no one cleaned up for such a long time, the cat litter box has gone messy and smelly.

In memory of the special experience, Chen named the four kittens ''Xiaowu'', ''Hanhan'', ''Xiaojia'' and ''Youyou'', which together mean ''Wuhan, fighting'' in Chinese, hoping the city could stay strong and return to normal soon.

Lele's story went viral (迅速传播) on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, and won over 366,000 likes. A Douyin user commented, "God bless the poor cats! Good luck to you, another netizen commented, ''What a kind family! Please don't abandon pets because of the virus outbreak. ''

    As high school students, we must spend the vast majority of our time in class and reading books. 1. Without a friend, our world would be a wilderness. What kind of friends should we pick? What are the dos and don’ts of friendship? Here are some of my opinions.

2. We may consider different people we meet every day to be nice and feel like making friends with them. However, not all good people are matches for us. Rather than make friends with the popular students, we should spend time with those we have things in common with, or who will be there to listen to us. Moreover, we should be careful about students with many bad habits, since they could pass those habits on to us.

Being tolerant is a good idea. No one is perfect. 3. Therefore, we should try to understand our friends and be patient with them when they make mistakes since we’re all on a journey to being better people. Gradually, our friendships will last longer and become more solid.

Be honest. 4. However, it’s better to be honest with friends, to tell them what is bothering us and seek their advice. Being honest will not annoy your friends, but it will bring you and your friend closer together.

We need to be open-minded. Listen to others’ ideas, whether you agree with them or not, and be happy to make friends with your friends’ friends. 5.

A.We must be careful.

B.We need to be well-informed.

C.As is said, honesty is the best policy.

D.A friend without faults will never be found.

E.None are so deaf as those who will not hear.

F.Still, spending time with friends is also necessary and good for us.

G.We all tend to show our positive side to friends and hide our true feelings.

    Once March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).

The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit (脱欧) deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.

On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.

In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.

More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!

1.Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?

A.To wait for a new Brexit deal. B.To make a no-deal Brexit plan.

C.To meet Theresa May’s request. D.To have a better ties with the EU.

2.What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Conservative Party. B.Labor Party.

C.Theresa May’s Brexit deal. D.The no-deal Brexit.

3.What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?

A.Leave Germany within three months.

B.Continue to live and work in Germany.

C.Obtain living permits in the specific time.

D.Hand in the their passports as soon as possible.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the present situation of the Brexit?

A.Concerned. B.Doubtful.

C.Ambiguous. D.Surprised.

    Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill (溅) on you. The smells of some passengers’ food are very strong, too. According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Violators (违反者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators’ credit record.

Some support the rule. The reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers. “The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer, Besides, eating on the subway produces rubbish. And on subway trains, people often spill their drinks,” said Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei.

However, others question this rule. “Some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work,” He Songlin, a 17-year-old student from Chengdu said, “And some people, like those with low- blood sugar levels, get sick if they can’t eat when they must.”

Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. For example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in Washington DC. Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars, which is RMB 2,417 yuan.

Chen Yanyan, a professor from Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway. “Commuters (上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with services, allowing passengers to eat and drink,” she said.

    I’m going to be completely honest. I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am very happy to be here.

Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018. The assignment was easy and hard, make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept, but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds).

So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔), commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world, it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed, they never let go of the carbon they gathered.

Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as I had no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree, swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video, but didn’t dare to write in the description section of the video that it was a submission, because I never imagined that I could win!

But I did.

I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search, and when the news came out, I received the most attention I’ve had in my entire life.

No matter your background, whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam, I really hope you enjoy the video!

In recent years，campus security have become a hot topic. In Safety Education Day，I was honored to be a volunteer raise the primary school students' awareness of safety. I told those students about things what they should never do. For an example，don't fly a kite near electrical wires or play with fire-fighting equipments. While in school，never run up and down the stairs. In addition, clean windows without any means of protection is also dangerously. I hoped these tips will help they avoid danger.

    A recent survey shows that roughly 85 percent of people feel physical symptoms of stress. 1. , and they will help you feel more energetic tomorrow:

•    Double your chews

Chewing is a super-important part of the digestion process. Chewing makes it easier for your body to break down food and turn it into energy. The most proper number of chews per bite is unclear. 2.. It will be easy for your body to break down the food and store energy.

•    Drink one less cup of coffee

Although caffeine in coffee blocks your brain from receiving adenosine, which causes tiredness, it doesn’t stop your body from producing it. So once the caffeine disappears, it’s the buildup of adenosine that causes you to crash and reach for more caffeine, creating a bad circle. 3., but drinking less coffee can help you feel more energetic over the long term.

•    Take a few deep breaths

By not breathing deeply enough, you end up sending a signal to your nervous system that increases your anxiety even further. Changing your breathing habits by taking a few long, slow breaths throughout the day reduces the stress response while energizing your cells. 4.: Simply breathe in through your nose for a count of three and out through your mouth for a count of three. Repeat as necessary.

• 5.

Take some time to reflect on the positive by writing down three things that went smoothly during your day or just items you feel grateful for. This exercise can prepare your mind for what’s going right in your life, hitting the brakes on stress increases while helping to protect your energy reserves.

A.Set down what went well today

B.Try an exercise to achieve this

C.Reflect on your day sometimes

D.Reducing your reliance on it sounds scary

E.Take a look at the small changes you can make today

F.Shallow breathing is one of the annoying side effects of stress

G.However, it’s been suggested that 25 to 40 times will be beneficial

    China’s war on garbage is as digital as the country itself. Think QR codes attached to trash bags that allow the government to trace exactly where its trash comes from.

On July 1, Shanghai began a compulsory garbage sorting program. Households and companies must classify their wastes into four categories and dump them in appointed places at certain times. The strict program became a headache for some residents. Not even the most environmentally conscious person can get all the answers right. Like, which bin does the newspaper you just used to pick up dog poop (粪便)belong to?

Gratefully, China’s tech startups are here to help. For instance, China’s biggest internet companies responded with new search features that help people identify what wastes are “wet”, “dry”, “toxic”, or “recyclable”. Simply pull up a mini app on WeChat, Baidu or Alipay and enter the keyword. The tech firms will give you the answer and why.

Alipay, Alibaba’s electronics payment company, claims its garbage sorting mini app added one million users under just three days. The mini app has so far indexed (编索引) more than 4,000 types of rubbish. Its database is still growing, and soon it will save people from typing by using image recognition to classify trash when they snap a photo of it. If people are too busy or lazy to hit the collection schedule, well, startups are offering trash service at the doorstep. A third-party developer helped Alipay build a recycling mini app and is now collecting garbage from 8,000 apartment complexes across 11 cities. To date, two million people have sold recyclable materials through its platform.

Besides helping households out, companies are also building software to make property managers, life easier. Some residential complexes in Shanghai began using QR codes to trace the origin of garbage. This way, regulators in the region know exactly which family has produced the trash and fine violators.

1.What are some residents confused about?

A.Environmental knowledge. B.Bin for dog poop.

C.Some waste classification. D.Time for dumping.

2.What is the advantage of trash service at the doorstep?

A.It provides time flexibility. B.It reduces household waste.

C.It saves people from typing. D.It classifies rubbish properly.

3.Who will probably most welcome the use of QR codes?

A.Third-party developers. B.Company managers.

C.Community administrators. D.Rubbish collectors.

4.What is the main idea of this article?

A.People need recycling apps badly.

B.People should classify their rubbish.

C.How regulators benefit from the tech.

D.How China uses tech to sort waste.

    Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe，meanwhile，one in seven said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts.

Why can't more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them？People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour，for instance，used such words as guilty，lazy，thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo(禁忌)，as well.

However，our research with Francis J. Flynn，a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business，suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.

We asked people to imagine themselves as a "giver," who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: "It's your gift, do what you want with it." Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it.

Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was ""National Regifting Day". It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn't know that: 30% of them agreed to regift.

Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn’t quite what they hoped for.

1.Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour?

A.To highlight the importance of regifting.

B.To show people's attitudes to regifting.

C.To challenge the rightness of regifting

D.To express his concern for regifting

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word unwarranted?

A.Unnecessary. B.Uncertain.

C.Unimportant. D.Unconscious.

3.What do we know about the research?

A.9% simply kept unwanted gifts.

B.30% didn’t know National Regifting Day.

C.Givers generally didn't mind regifting.

D.Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts.

4.What's the author's attitude towards regifting?

A.Negative B.Neutral

C.Critical D.Approving

    I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995, an incredible experience. I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the former Yankees star pitcher(投手) and Mets and Yankees coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.

He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “two-seamer”, a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight four-seam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis of multiple myeloma(骨髓瘤), a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stem cell transplant.

In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.

This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankee' locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! "I feel great, and I'm not retiring," he told me.

This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant, I repeated to myself, "Look at Mel. If he can do it, so can I."

1.Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1?

A.He joined a famous team.

C.He called Mel for his treatment.

D.He forgot what Mel had told him.

3.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma?

4.What would be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Skills Taught by My Former Coach

B.The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors

C.My Baseball Team Helping Me Out
