A single case study isn't enough to prove anything. It's not clear if the medication, called remdesivir, actually helped the patient, or if his improvement was a coincidence.

Remdesivir was developed by the pharmaceutical company Gilead as a treatment3.Ebola. Research groups identified the drug as potential candidate for the treatment of coronaviruses in the aftermath of the 2012 MERS outbreak, 4.another new coronavirus spread through the Middle East.

Tests on the new coronavirus show that remdesivir blocks 5.activity, too, at least in the lab. That result, 6. (couple) with the positive outcomes in the Washington patient, were enough for Gilead to launch a larger clinical trial of the drug in new coronavirus patients. The company will test it in a group of 270 patients in Beijing — one group will 7.(give) the drug, and one group another.

The drug isn't approved by any other regulatory body. 8., it already went through safety testing during the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015. That's why Gilead is able to test it in sick patients 9.(immediate).

The results from the remdesivir trial could turn out that none of the drugs are effective in treating the new virus. But that there are options 10. (avail) is a testament to all the research that's been done before.

    It may not be the best way to go about meeting new people, but chat rooms are still among the most popular channels. Want to chat with a stranger now? 1., after which, you need to keep the following rules in mind.

2.. Details such as your phone number and home address or where you attend classes should remain personal. It is actually not a very good idea to share your last name with a stranger. Even if you feel you have met someone you really like and get along with, it is still necessary to withhold some important details.

Be fun and chat about something personal. This doesn’t mean giving away personal details, but you can share your life experiences and stories with strangers as long as you are both going with the flow. There is really no way you will manage to know the strangers better unless you both go beyond your hobbies. 3..

Remain in control at all times. There is really no obligation on you to continue with chats that scare you or make you uncomfortable. 4.. As soon as something annoys you, feel free to leave the chat. Let nobody force you into conversations you find inappropriate.

Try not to download things from strangers. 5., but be careful that you don’t get viruses or hacked by such downloads. You really can’t be sure of who you are talking to, so be cautious about downloads. It is best that you stick to the channels of communication made available to you and also make sure that you have the right computer protection even when you download things.

A. Chat rooms make it possible to share all manner of files

B. Avoid sharing your personal details with random strangers

C. So do not be afraid to get a little personal in your random chats

D. At night it’s not appropriate for teens to stay in chat rooms alone

E. Many files with viruses are often purposefully spread on the website

F. Then you should start by finding a chat room reflecting your interests

G. Remember you are chatting for fun and you should remain fully in control

    What do people in the outside world do when they want to learn something? They go to somebody who knows about it, and ask him. They do not go to somebody who is supposed to know about everything ---except, when they are very young, to their parents: and they speedily become dissatisfied with that variety of knowledge. They go to somebody who might reasonably expected to know about the particular thing they are interested in, When a man buys a motor-car, he does not say to himself: “Where can I find somebody who can teach me how to run a motor car?" He does not look in the telephone directory under T. He just gets an experienced driver to teach him. He just pays attention and asks questions and tries to do the thing himself, until he learns.

But this case, of course, assumes an interest of the pupil in the subject, a willingness and even a desire to learn about it, a feeling that the matter is of some importance to himself. And come to think of it, these motives are generally present in the learning that goes on in the outside world. It is only in school that the pupil is expected to be unwilling to learn.

When you were a child, and passed the door of the village blacksmith(铁匠) shop, and looked in, day after day, you admired his skill, and stood in awe of his strength; and if he had offered to let you blow the bellows for him and shown you how to make a red-hot penny, that would have been a proud moment. It would also have been an educational one. But suppose there had been a new shop set up in the town, and when you looked in at the open door you saw a man at work painting a picture; and suppose a bell rang just then, and the man stopped painting right in the middle of a brush-stroke, and started to read aloud “How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix"; and suppose when he was halfway through, the bell rang again, and he said, "We will go on with that tomorrow," and started to chisel the surface of a piece of marble; and then, after a little, somewhat exhaustedly, started in to play "The Rock of Ages" on a flute, interrupting the tune to order you to stand up straight and not whisper to the little boy beside you. There's no doubt what you would think of him; you would know perfectly well that he was crazy; people don't do things in that way anywhere in the world, except in school.

And even if he had assured you that what were taught were later in your life going to be matters of the deepest importance and interest, and that you should start in now with the determination of becoming proficient in them, it would not have helped much. Not very much. It's nonsense that children do not want to learn. Everybody wants to learn. And everybody wants to teach. And the process is going on all the time. All that is necessary is to put a person who

knows something---really knows it---within the curiosity-range of someone who doesn't know it: the process begins at once, It is almost irresistible

If there were no teachers---no hastily and superficially trained Vestals who were supposed to know everything---but just ordinary human beings who knew passionately and thoroughly one thing and who had the patience to show little boys and girls how to do that thing---we might get along with our learning pretty well, Of course, we'd have to pay them more, because they could get other jobs out in the larger world; and besides, you couldn't expect to get somebody who knows how to do something, for the price you are accustomed to pay those who only know how to

teach everything,

    For several decades, there has been an organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by those whose interests are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.

Stressing successes isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. But what is called the scientific method isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and at any particular point, scientists can be found doing many different things. False theories sometimes lead to true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was designed to test is true.

If there is no specific scientific method, then what is the basis for trust in science? The answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists. Scientists draft the initial version of a paper and then send it to colleagues for suggestions. Until this point, scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly. But the next step is different: the revised paper is submitted to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher. Editors deliberately send scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors, and the job of the reviewer is to find errors or other faults. We call this process “peer review” because the reviewers are scientific peers—experts in the same field—but they act in the role of a superior who has both the right and the responsibility to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that any problems have been fixed that the paper will be printed in the journal and enters the body of “science.”

Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that science produces both creativity and stability. New observations, ideas, explanations and attempts to combine competing claims introduce creativity; transformative questioning leads to collective decisions and the stability of scientific knowledge. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.

1.Scientists stress the success of science in order to ________.

A.promote basic knowledge of science

B.remind people of scientific achievements

C.remove possible doubts about science

D.show their attitude towards the campaign

2.What can we learn about the so-called scientific method?

A.It’s an easy job to prove its existence.

B.It usually agrees with scientists’ ideas.

C.It hardly gets mixed with false theories.

D.It constantly changes and progresses.

3.What can we learn about “peer” review?

A.It seldom gives negative evaluation of a paper.

B.It is usually conducted by unfriendly experts.

C.It aims to perfect the paper to be published.

D.It happens at the beginning of the evaluation process.

4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ________.

A.it is not uncommon for science to be overturned

B.scientists are very strong in changing their minds

C.people lose faith in those changeable scientists

D.changes bring creativity and stability to science

Spreading truth and knowledge

If you have ever talked to doctors in the hospitals, you may find that many of them are quite serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.

Zhang's words first went viral (走红) on the internet after he said in late January that he had dispatched (派遣) doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases.

“When becoming CPC members, we vowed (发誓) that we would always prioritize people's interests. . . in the face of difficulties,” Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the pledge (誓言). All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining.” Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among internet users. A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,” said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.

One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: “If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”

Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends.

“I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion (传染病),” said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I'll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently. ”

1.What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?

A.The way he treats his patients.

B.His honest and humorous speech.

C.His pledge to fight against the virus.

D.His broad knowledge of the novel coronavirus.

2.He dispatched CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that        .

A.they would bargain less

B.they are more professional

C.they should take the lead as they had vowed

D.they would be calmer in a critical situation

3.What can we conclude from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last two paragraphs?

A.He doesn't like to speak in public.

B.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.

C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention.

D.He is looking forward to taking a break after the epidemic.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts (有瘾的人), they have long been a problem in China. A report released (发行) in 2016 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youths had a tendency to develop Internet addiction.

To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China has released draft (草案) regulations which carried out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are adopted under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.

As soon as the government’s draft law surfaced, it drew great attention from the public. Some support the law as a way to better protect teenagers, saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to teenagers’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be important to human physical functions. However, others wondered whether it would be practical if it came into effect, as teenagers could just borrow their parents’ IDs to register (注册) accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber world and the real world.

China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenager gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 in an attempt to stop teens from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am. Meanwhile, the UK, the US and Australia have forced a rating system on computer games to make sure that teenagers cannot access “adult” content such as violence, sex or bad language.

    Empathy (同理心)is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy?— Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.

1.Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?

A.Because people tend to center themselves. B.Because everyone lacks empathy.

C.Because empathy is a strange quality. D.Because it's better to give than to receive.

2.Which situation can empathy be used in?

A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.

B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.

C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.

D.When a dancer is dancing to music.

3.What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?

A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.

B.It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.

C.Adults should set an example to kids.

D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.

4.What is the main topic of the passage?

A.How to train kids to have empathy.

B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.

C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.

D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.

    More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible.” he said.

But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.

1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

A.It is flexible in length. B.It is a time for relaxation.

C.It is increasingly popular. D.It is required by universities.

2.According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year       .

A.are better prepared for college studies

B.know a lot more about their future jobs

C.are more likely to leave university in debt

D.have a better chance to enter top universities

3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?

A.He’s puzzled. B.He’s worried.

C.He’s surprised. D.He’s annoyed.

4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

A.Attend additional courses. B.Make plans for the new term.

C.Earn money for their education. D.Prepare for their graduate studies.

    You can use your smartphone to get pretty much anything delivered directly to your door almost immediately. The hardest part is the process of trying to work out if you should tip and if so, doing the quick math before you get to the door. And, you know well that you should tip about 15-20% at restaurants, but do the same rules apply to delivery drivers?

The co-founder of Grubhub, Matt Maloney, pretty much set the standard for tipping delivery people in a Facebook post. He’s a strong supporter of tipping, and Grubhub’s website suggests a $5 or a 20% tip. Maloney also said this number should go up if you order during, say, a snowstorm.

However, most other delivery services say on their websites that tipping is not required. Some services, like Door Dash, do suggest no tip on their checkout window. Many, like Amazon Prime Now, allow customers to change their tip amount after their delivery has been received to reflect the quality of service. These companies help customers save money but delivery drivers are upset. They deal with bad weather, heavy traffic, extreme tiredness, and more, all for a $1 tip. Many feel that if you’d tip your pizza boy or girl, you should tip your delivery driver.

The Emily Post Institute (EPI)’s official suggestion falls in line with Maloney’s: “10-15% of the bill, or $2-5 for pizza delivery depending on the size of the order and difficulty of delivery.”

Just like servers in a restaurant, delivery drivers almost always rely on your tips for their income. Tipping is a long-standing cultural tradition in America. So, until drones (无人机) can deliver hot dogs straight to your door, it’s best to tip the people riding through the city at all hours to bring you hot fresh food.

1.What do we know about tipping delivery drivers?

A.It is not widely accepted.

B.It upsets many delivery services

C.It can’t reflect the quality of service

D.It is a deeply rooted tradition in America.

2.Which of the following suggests the highest tips in the passage?

A.The EPI. B.DoorDash.

C.Grubhub. D.Amazon Prime Now.

3.What is the author’s attitude to tipping delivery drivers?

A.Doubtful. B.Unconcerned

C.Disapproving. D.Supportive.

    Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened."

So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.

Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go."

Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.

At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.

She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing — that’s what is carrying me through."

1.Laura noticed her father’s dementia when   .

A.her father told her his condition in person

Dear Sam,

I’m writing this letter to tell you about the big misunderstanding between I and my parents. I’m real angry with them because of they always ask me about my personal affairs. They want me be dependent on them. They don’t let me choose my favourite music. Which makes me feel worse is that they don’t give me the chance to let them know how embarrassing I am about their treatment. I’d like to find an unique place where I can succeed in escape from them. But frankly speaking, I know they love me and I still needed their protection. I don’t know what to do. Please give me some advices.

Bob

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I'm Margaret, an exchange student from America. I've been living in Beijing for several weeks and I have made new friends here, many of1.are locals. Through my interaction with them, I`ve noticed some interesting cultural differences when2.(eat) out.

One of the most obvious is the way food3.(serve). In America, each diner orders their own meal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Sometimes, one member of the party does the4.(major) of the ordering for everyone. Each of us has our own bowl of rice or noodles, and we share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellent way5.(try) new foods!

6.thing that strikes me as odd is the way people pay for food at a restaurant. In the US, we often ask7.separate checks, so we each pay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide to pay separately, they8.(typical) don't request separate checks. Instead, they give money to one person who9.(pay) the bill. People also don't tip the server. Instead, there is often a service charge10.(add) to the bill.
