    As the COVID-19 forces students to stay home, online learning has seen a sharp rise among students. Since late January, China has delayed starting the new school semester and encouraged students to study at home over safety concerns.

Besides what has been arranged by your schools as your study routine, what can you gain from online learning?1.

To successfully learn online, you need to dedicate a significant amount of your time, consistently attend the program, concentrate while studying and fully stick to your learning process, just as you would do for a regular course.

To stay on track with your online course, always keep in mind what you hope to complete by the end of it.2. Estimate how much time each task will take to complete. Keep detailed notes and review them often.

A study plan is important to online learning.3.Online learning needs to be well organized. Create a study calendar that will help you remember all the important dates like online exams or deadlines for your assignments.

When you feel yourself losing concentration, consider taking a short break or sopping for the night.4.

Taking online courses can be very convenient for many people.5.It requires time management skills, self-discipline, willpower and motivation.

A.Make a goal.

B.It can also offer you a good experience for self-learning.

C.Most importantly, you need to plan ahead with a good calendar system.

D.Online course companies also adopted special measures to meet students’ demands.

E.However, it may be challenging for some to successfully complete their online courses.

F.A to-do list is useful to carry out your study plan and to stay on track with your studying.

G.It is better to wait until you are able to start afresh rather than waste your time trying to focus.

    You can’t see it with your own eyes，but your smart-phone is likely to be covered with bacteria- perhaps even more so than your toilet seat. That's a lot of dangerous microbes（微生物）floating around, and yes, it is terribly dirty.

In this age of global travel and trade, it’s more important than ever to cut down on possible routes of infection and to stop bacteria and viruses spreading from person to person. Part of that means making sure your phone isn’t sending anything more than data.

And besides the potential health risks of a dirty phone, there's also the simple annoyance of looking at a screen that’s covered in fingerprints and other oily spots that are part of life with a smart-phone.

In short, you’ve got plenty of reasons to regularly give your phone a thorough clean. Not just during a pandemic（大流行病），either-we should be thinking about keeping our phones bacteria free all the time, says microbiologist Paul Turner, a professor at Yale University.

After all, we touch our phones all the time and many of us are relatively careless about cleaning them. “It sets the stage for kind of concern,” Turner says. “People could be handling phones and picking up any bacteria or virus that can attach to a surface and survive for a period of time.”

Take SARS-CoV-2, the corona- virus（冠状病毒）that causes the COVID-19, for example. Scientists are still trying to get solid evidence, but early research suggests that it can survive on plastic or stainless steel（不锈钢）surfaces for two or three days. That means you could be washing your hands perfectly well, but immediately picking the virus up again as soon as you reach for your phone.

You could be doing everything right（like washing your hands and staying away from people），but

if there’s a contaminated surface in your home or your pocket, you could expose yourself to the virus anyway, Turner says.

1.Why does the author mention the toilet seat?

A.To draw a vivid picture of a dirty phone.

B.To show how dirty a toilet seat is.

C.To add some background information.

D.To introduce a topic for discussion.

2.What can we learn in Paragraph 6?

A.Simply washing our hands is not enough.

B.Scientists have got solid evidence of the COVID-19.

C.The corona-virus can survive on smooth surfaces for 2 or 3 weeks.

D.The author suggests washing our hands before using our phones.

3.What do the underlined words “contaminated surface” refer to in the last paragraph?

A.A stainless steel. B.A deadly virus.

C.A clean phone. D.An infectious phone.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.You may get infected with your dirty phone.

B.You are supposed to wash your hands.

C.You’d better clean your dirty phone.

D.You’d better throw away your dirty phone.

    Seasonal pumped hydropower storage（SPHS），an already established yet infrequently used technology ,could be an affordable and sustainable solution（解决方法）to store energy and water annually, according to new IIASA research published in the journal Nature Communications. Compared with other mature storage solutions, such as natural gas, the study shows that there is considerable potential for SPHS to provide highly competitive energy storage costs.

Seasonal pumped hydropower storage means pumping water into a deep storage reservoir（水库）, built parallel to a major river, during times of high water flow or low energy demand. When water is not enough or energy demand increases，stored water is then released from the reservoir to generate electricity.

The new study is the first to provide a global, high-resolution analysis of the potential and costs for SPHS technology. In their analysis, researchers assessed the theoretical global potential for storing energy and water seasonally with SPHS, focusing on the locations with the highest potential and lowest cost. They found that the technology would be particularly effective in the Himalayas, the Andes, Alps，and the Rocky Mountains, as well as mountainous regions in the Middle East, Brazil, Asia, and Russia, and many other locations around the world.

The study also addresses some of the potential environmental concerns related to hydropower. Because SPHS reservoirs are deep and constructed parallel to, rather than within the course of a river, the environmental and land use impacts can also be up to 10 to 50 times smaller than conventional hydropower plants.

Hunt, lead author of the study, says, “With the need for a change to a more sustainable world with lower CO2 emissions（排放），renewable energies and energy storage will play a major role in the near future. Given the vast untapped（未开发的）and cheap potential of SPHS, it will soon play an important role in storing energy and water on a yearly basis.”

1.What is the strength of SPHS based on the new IIASA research?

A.It’s costly. B.It’s out-dated.

C.It’s rarely used. D.It’s inexpensive.

2.What do researchers concentrate on when assessing the use of SPHS?

A.Environmental protection. B.High profits.

C.Suitable places. D.Water flow.

3.What do we know about the SPHS reservoirs in Paragraph 4?

A.They damage the river.

B.They are environmentally friendly.

C.They are similar to traditional hydropower plants.

D.They can be effective in many places globally.

4.What’s the future for SPHS according to Hunt?

A.Promising. B.Panicking.

C.Discouraging. D.Demanding.

    As the manager for a newly formed team, you want to help your team members get to an effective and high-performing state as quickly as possible.

1. His original model identified four stages that all groups pass through as they move from “newly formed” to “high-performance” teams. Those stages are Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing.

During the Forming stage, members of the project team meet each other and learn about the tasks they need to perform. 2. During this stage, it is critical for the project manager to provide structure and direction for the team. Clearly defining the project’s objectives and making sure each team member understands their role and responsibilities will help you lead the team through this stage successfully.

The Storming stage is characterized by interpersonal issues such as conflicts. During this stage it is common for team members to challenge each other, including the project manager! Team members may also question what they are doing and how it is being done. As the project manager, this will likely be the most challenging time leading your project. Understanding that this type of conflict is normal for any team will help you pass through this stage successfully. During this stage, some of the skills that help you build your team are conflict management, active listening, and relationship building. 3.

As conflicts become less intense and the team members begin to understand and accept each other, the team will gradually move into the Norming stage. It is during this stage that your team starts to come together and is able to focus more effectively on the project tasks and objectives. 4. Communication and constructive response help you do this. You can continue your team building efforts by arranging social events with the team and making sure to give positive recognition to team members.

5. Interpersonal and structural issues have been settled and support task performance. Team performance is high during this stage.

A.It is also important for you to be confident and positive.

B.Several researchers put forward different theories.

C.In the Performing stage, team members are comfortable with each other.

D.Your behavior has a huge influence on your team members.

E.One of the most influential theories was developed by Bruce Tuckman.

F.You need to focus on keeping everyone moving in the right direction.

G.Team members try to see how they fit in and understand what is expected.

    “Jewel wings fly around like little helicopters until they see preys (猎物), usually smaller flying insects,” said Bellido, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. “Then they dash at their meals in a burst of speed.”

You might mistake jewel wings for their cousins, dragonflies. New research shows that these two insects share something more significant than their appearance, however. In a paper published in Current Biology, Dr. Bellido and the dragonfly colleagues reveal that the neural (神经的) systems behind jewel wings’ vision are shared with dragonflies, with whom they have a common ancestor that lived before dinosaurs. But over the centuries, this brain wiring has adapted itself in different ways in each creature, enabling sharply different hunting strategies.

Jewel wings’ behavior involves attacking what’s directly in front of them, the team found. But recordings made in the lab by Dr. Gonzalez and her colleagues confirmed that dragonflies rise up in a straight line to seize unsuspecting insects from below. Researchers are particularly interested in the neurons (神经元) that send visual information to the wings.

To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the researchers equipped jewel wings with sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing it with earlier dragonfly research. When a neuron fired, a popping sound filled the researchers’ ears, allowing them to tell exactly which movements-left, right, up, down or some combination-each neuron responded to. Jewel wings best see what’s right in front of them, they found, while dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.

The team was interested to find that while jewel wings’ neurons didn’t always respond like those in dragonflies, the number of neurons and organization were similar. That suggests that the system that conveys this information from the eyes to the wing muscles did not evolve recently, but has roots that are millions of years older than the oldest dinosaurs. And that ancient common ancestor likely had already developed remarkable speed in both vision and flight. Then, in the following years, the system has evolved to suit individual insect species.

This shared neural system may be more than 250 million years old, but it is also flexible enough to transform itself to meet the needs of a variety of creatures in different eras and environments, the findings suggest.

    Infectious diseases and associated deaths have reduced, but they remain a significant threat throughout the world. Infectious diseases outbreaks and the fear and panic that accompany them present various economic risks.

First, there are costs to the health system, both public and private, of medical treatment of the infected and of outbreak control. Concern over the spread of a relatively contained outbreak can lead to decreased trade. Travel and tourism to regions affected by outbreaks are also likely to decline. Some long-running outbreaks, such as HIV, prevent foreign direct investment.

The economic risks are large. It is estimated that the expected yearly cost of infectious diseases is at roughly $500 billion. Even when the health impact of an outbreak is relatively limited, its economic consequences can quickly become expanded. Liberia, for example, saw GDP growth decline 8 percentages from 2013 to 2014 during the Ebola outbreak in Africa.

The risk is complex, but policymakers have tools in response.

Investing in improved health care, supply of clean water, and better health systems can reduce the frequency of human contact with viruses. Investment in reliable disease monitoring in both human and animal populations is also critical. Within formal global watch systems, instead of discouraging reporting possible outbreaks, it may be beneficial to develop incentives for reporting suspected cases, as countries may reasonably fear the effects of such reporting on trade, tourism, and other economic outcomes. Informal monitoring systems, social media for example, which collect information from official reports, media reports, online discussions, and eyewitness observations, can also help national health systems and international responders get ahead of the outbreak news during the early stages. Cooperations for monitoring infectious diseases readiness at the national level provide information national governments can use to react timely to their outbreaks.

There is a significant market failure when it comes to vaccines (疫苗) against individual low-probability viruses that collectively are likely to cause panic. Given the low probability that any single vaccine of this type will be needed, high Research and Development (R&D) costs, and delayed returns, medical companies hesitate to invest in their development. However, responsible international corporations such as CFPI can overcome this market failure. Its goals include advancing candidate vaccines against specific low-probability, high-severity viruses through proof of concept to enable rapid clinical testing in the event of outbreaks. It also aims to fund development of institutional and technical platforms to speed R&D in response to outbreaks for which there are no vaccines.

Undoubtedly, humans and infectious viruses will coexist. However, we can take effective measures to manage the risk of the diseases. Joint action now at the local, national, and multinational levels can go a long way toward protecting our collective well-being in the future.

1.What does the underlined word ''incentives'' in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Habits. B.Opinions.

C.Arguments. D.Rewards.

2.CFPI is a special company which

A.is able to predict the trend of the market

B.develops vaccines against infectious viruses

C.makes huge profits by selling general medicine

D.employs staff who graduate from famous universities

A.More importance should be attached to health care systems.

B.All-level cooperations are required to handle infectious diseases.

C.It will not be long before mankind thoroughly defeats the viruses.

D.Technologies hold the key to the settlement of medical problems.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    Autumn Peltier is a youth environmentalist who has inspired thousands of students to walk out of class and demand action on climate change.

When Autumn Peltier was just 8 years old, she attended a ceremony at a reservation where she saw a sign warning that the water was poisonous. Growing up on a freshwater island in Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory in Canada, Peltier says she had never experienced poisonous water. The memory of that sign stayed with her.

Two years later, at the age of 10, Peltier is fighting for water conservation and water rights for everybody. She says she was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin, a well-known activist who walked the shores of all five Great Lakes to raise awareness for water conservation.

When she was 12 in 2015, Peltier met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, telling him she was unhappy with his policies on debating pipeline projects. Trudeau promised her he would preserve the water. Since 2015, 87 long-term water advisories in Canada have been lifted; 56 water advisories remain.

At middle school, Peltier joined an environmental group at her school and later co-founded the Canadian Youth Water Strike-a Canadian branch of the international movement to conserve water.

Last year, Peltier spoke at the UN about the importance of water conservation and water access, explaining the fundamental role water plays in her culture.

“Many people don’t think water is alive or has a spirit. My people believe this to be true. . . . We believe our water is precious because we are born of water.”

After the speech at the UN, Peltier is joined by a group of teenagers who share similar thoughts. Her friends include Greta Thunberg, a Swedish girl who drew the world attention through the talk at World Economic Forum at Davos, Bruno Rodriguez, an Argentinian boy who joined in the UN Climate Summit, and Mari Copeny, an American girl who is dedicated to the cause of saving water. Peltier and her friends believe that together they can make a big difference.

Undoubtedly, Peltier’s many years of hard work has paid off. She has greatly raised people’s awareness of water conservation and taught people to take specific actions to conserve water.

That’s an impressive list of accomplishments for anyone, let alone a middle schooler.

1.How did Peltier feel about the poisonous water when she was 8?

A.Shocked. B.Interested. C.Excited. D.Bored.

2.Who influenced Peltier to start water conservation?

A.UN officials. B.Trudeau. C.Mandamin. D.Thunberg.

3.What does Peltier expect to do in the future?

A.To make more friends. B.To protect more water.

C.To attend more summits. D.To organize more strikes.

4.What can we learn from Autumn Peltier’s story?

A.World leaders can contribute to success.

B.Environment is Canadians’major concern.

C.Fame comes from attending great summits.

D.Achievements result from continuous effort.

    Who can be volunteering?

A Ugandan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) was formed by members of a rural community in South-west Uganda in 2007. They developed a local school for children aging from 3 to 15 from poor families, and started community based projects that will equip the young villagers with the skills and knowledge to face a safer and brighter future.

The project itself is well integrated into the community and those undertaking volunteering work are always given a warm welcome, especially by the local children who love spending time with volunteers from all ages and backgrounds.

Volunteering at Uganda Lodge is suitable for families, gap year teenagers, seniors etc.

For medical students we can offer you official medical elective course scores with no additional fees charged. Staying at Uganda Lodge could also count for the residential section of the Gold Award and Queens Scout Awards.

What can I do?

You need to speak English. Even if you are not a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) teacher (although useful!), you can go into the classrooms and make a meaningful difference. Experienced teachers can take over a whole class if they wish, after consulting with the teacher on content.

We now have over 500 students in the Ruhanga Development School and they are in urgent need of teachers. English conversation is needed for the older children in particular, also showing picture books etc. or simply talking to babies helps inspire their mental and physical growth.

Children at our kindergartens and primary schools do love help from our volunteers to learn new rhymes and songs, talk about pictures in books or get inspirations with craftwork and painting.

    Last summer, Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She ________ down her window.

“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving ________ haircuts. If I go and grab my ________, do you want one right now?”

The man looked to be in his 60s. He was heavyset, and ________ a few teeth. He laughed, and then paused, “________, I was really hoping to get a haircut.”

“I’ll be right back,” Steller said.

She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and ________ a red chair into her car.

Quickly she ________ back. Then she cut the man’s curly graying hair. The man told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota to be closer to his adult children, and how he still talks to his mom every day.

After Steller was done, the man looked in a mirror and ________, “I look good!” he said. “I’ll have to remember to put my artificial teeth in next time.”

Last Sunday, I was standing near a shopping mall, tried to call a taxi. But no luck. Then I thought of the taxi booking app that my friend had recommended it and I booked a taxi through my cell phone. Soon it came, and I stepped in, feeling pretty proudly of my high - tech way and satisfied with the convenience that brought by the app. Yet later, I was upset to find that the driver was busy looking on his cell phone to get the next order.

    Anxiety is tough to deal with at the best of time. It’s even tougher when we’re in the midst of apandemic （大流行病） that is causing chaos around the globe. Here are some simple steps that will help you take back control of the situation.

Stay away from the news. Constantly reading, watching, or checking the news only makes your anxiety grow stronger. 1. Before you know it, your work breaks turn into checking the latest news on coronavirus （冠状病毒） on your phone. Because it’s easier to nip （阻止） a bad habit in the bud, try to limit the amount of time you spend watching the news.

Distract （使分心） yourself. 2. We can’t panic about coronavirus and at the same time be absorbed by a work project. So next time a worrying thought creeps into your mind, try to distract yourself. lt can be with work, taking a shower, or even watching a silly YouTube video.

Choose what you focus on. It’s a difficult time, because we’re isolated and many of us feel lonely and helpless. Instead of thinking about social isolation and the difficulties, which can make us depressed, you are supposed to change the focus. Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have never had the time?3.Could you sign up for a self-improvement webinar （在线研讨会） that allows you to gain life skills?

4. Even though we’re socially distancing ourselves from other people, this doesn’t mean that we should be socially isolating ourselves. Make use of technology and FaceTime or Skype with the people you care about.

Remember：thoughts are mental events that will pass. Consider practicing some mindfulness meditation. Focus on your breaths going in and out of your lungs while gently letting go of thoughts.5.

A.Stay connected.

B.Keep optimistic.

C.Your curiosity can turn into a habit.

D.It will help to do something you like.

E.Our minds can’t hold two thoughts at once.

F.Doing this can calm you and it can ground you.

G.That can be a project at home or a new language，for example.

    Scientists warn that our earth is drowning in plastic. The world’s cities produce 2 billion tons of rubbish every year. That number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons by 2050.

We often buy packaged goods but that packaging is often made of plastic. Now, it may be changing. A new environmentally friendly shopping model, called Loop, was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones. This is what some people call the zero-waste movement. The main belief driving this movement is that much of the trash we create is unnecessary.

Loop is the idea of TerraCycle, a recycling company. It first came from the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the US. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste. Loop will work the same way. Instead of throwing away, the product comes in a reusable one. When the product is all gone, someone will collect and clean the old container, fill it up and then return it to you.

At the start, Loop will offer about 300 products. Proctor & Gamble will start by selling 10 products on Loop as a test. If the results are good, more products will be added later.

Representatives from Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. Jennifer Morgan said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability. But I doubt whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models”.

Loop is set to launch later in three eastern U. S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U. S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year.

1.The purpose of Loop is to___________.

A.make packaging easier

B.reduce the plastic waste

C.lower the production cost

D.change shopping model

2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The origin of the idea of Loop.

B.The way to recycle milk bottles.

C.The future of shopping pattern.

D.The benefit of recycling containers.

3.What is Morgan’s attitude towards the current situation of loop?

A.Optimistic. B.Desperate.

C.Worried. D.Ambiguous.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To show scientists’ concern about plastic.

B.To present us benefits of recycling plastic.

C.To introduce the zero-waste shopping model.

D.To inform us of an environmental issue.

    When Americans Kay and Larry Day found a store selling kites nearly 20 years ago, they decided to buy a few kites for their children.

“The kiting community makes everyone feel welcome. said Oregon. “Her two children started flying kites about three years ago after attending a kite festival. And the kite fliers we know want to teach the kids everything they can,” she added. “They like that there’s a new generation coming up.” Her sons, Dylan, and Cardin, fly with kiters of all ages. “I do enjoy seeing different people.” Dylan said.

Since the mid-1980s,the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Burn Camp has been offering children with burn sears a week of relief."They have a lot of emotional things that they go through,trying to fit back in with society with their scars,"said Becky Mundy.burn center education coordinator at Akron Children's Hospital.

The camp typically has around 15 campers.Many are repeat customers,and most were treated at Akron Children's Hospital or began coming after they moved to the area.The camp is free to campers and is funded by an organization named Aluminum Cans for Burned Children which raises money for burn survivors and their families.

The Thursday of the camp week is Fire Truck Day,when dozens of local fire trucks arrive, along with camp alumni(校友），doctors and nurses,and family members.Campers get to see fire vehicles up close and interact with the firefighters.

Sometimes,they are the very ones who rescued the campers,months or years earlier.It is,they say,a bond that never goes away.But Fire Truck Day contributes in another way,allowing them to see each other in a different light.

Memories of a bad fire can be unforgettable.Nearly two years ago,Pazdernik carried an injured girl out of a burning house in which her parents perished,and later the girl was adopted by a kind family.

On Fire Truck Day,Pazdernik got to see the girl he saved,Shaniya Simpson.She shared a hug with the firefighters who had rescued her.and said it was good to see them.

＂I think it helps her heal,"said Kim Canterbury,who was Shaniya's teacher at the time of the fire."Just by saying thank you."

It was good for Pazdernik,too."To see her go on with life and be happy,you're able to see that you had an impact on her,"he said."lt's definitely a lot more fulfilling."

1.Which kind of children does the camp work for?(no more than 5 words)

2.Who provides financial support for the camp?(no more than 10 words)

3.Why does Fire Truck Day have special meaning to both firefighters and the campers?（no more than 15 words)

4.What does the underlined word"perished"in Paragraph 5 mean?(only I word)

5.If you are to be a volunteer of the camp,what will you do to help the campers?（no more than 25 words)
