New app service enables self-testing of COVID-19
People living in sub-Saharan countries are now able to test whether they may have contracted the novel coronavirus using a new mobile application service.
The self-assessment service, rolled out on StarTimes ON app by Chinese digital TV provider StarTimes Group, offers African users practical tips on how to protect themselves from COVID-19 in multiple languages - French, English, Portuguese, and Swahili. It is available in 45 countries in the region.
The service, co-developed by the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and School of Clinical Medicine of Tsinghua University, aims to help the public know more about the virus. It has been tested by top Chinese health experts.
Users can access the self-assessment service on the front page of StarTimes On. After answering several questions, such as on health conditions and recent travel history, users will get an evaluation result indicating the risk level of infection, as well as corresponding health suggestions.
The service, initially rolled out in China on Feb 1, has been used on trial by more than 10 million users in 19 countries.
People in other regions can download the StarTimes On app by scanning the QR code and then clicking on the section of the“COVID-19 Self-Assessment System” on the page.
56. What is the new app service aimed at?
A. Evaluating the risks of infecting COVID-19.
B. Confirming whether one has infected the virus.
C. Warning people of potential risks of traveling.
D. Informing people of increased death number.
57. How can the app users get the assessment results?
A. By scanning the QR code.
B. By completing a questionnaire.
C. By giving health suggestions.
D. By consulting top health experts.
B
A single fingerprint can distinguish whether someone has recently touched cocaine or actually ingested (吞下) it. This test can be completed in less than 2 minutes, far quicker than blood tests, and could be used for forensic (法庭的) investigations or drug testing.
Melanie Bailey at the University of Surrey in the UK and her colleagues have developed a technique that detects trace amounts of cocaine, as well as signs of cocaine use, on human skin.
"You can use it to say either somebody's touched the drug or they've ingested it," says Bailey.
As well as cocaine, the test picks up on a molecule called benzoylecgonine, which is excreted (分泌) through the skin after a person has taken cocaine. The chemical is also present as an impurity in some street samples of cocaine. “Benzoylecgonine in street cocaine actually washes off the fingers," says Bailey.
But a person who has ingested cocaine will continue to excrete the molecule through their sweat, so even after washing their hands it is detectable in a fingerprint.
Bailey and her team took fingerprints from people who had touched samples of cocaine of 99 per cent purity as well as street samples that were far less pure. They took fingerprints immediately after the drug had been handled and again after participants had washed their hands. They also took fingerprints from 26 people at a drug rehabilitation (康复) clinic who reported taking cocaine in the past 24 hours.
For the test, the individual presses their finger onto a piece of specialised paper for 10 seconds. The paper is then analysed using a technique called mass spectrometry to detect the presence of cocaine or benzoylecgonine.
In the 86 samples, the fingerprinting technique was 95 per cent accurate. The team found that detection was possible up to 48 hours after contact or ingestion.
Unlike blood test, which are the current standard for testing cocaine use the fingerprint analysis can be completed in less than 2 minutes.
The technique is now commercial available and could be used for drug testing "If someone’s ingested cocaine you wouldn’t want them to fly a plane or drive a bus," says Bailey.
58. What is one of the advantages of this fingerprint technique?
A. It requires much less testing time.
B. It helps to get rid of waste material.
C. It promises a 100 percent accuracy.
D. It causes the crime rate to decrease.
59. What is the core of Bailey and her team's study?
A. Collecting samples of cocaine of 99% purity.
B. Pressing fingers onto specialised paper for 10 seconds.
C. Comparing and analyzing different sorts of fingerprint data.
D. Taking fingerprints from 26 people taking cocaine in the past 24 hours.
60. Where can this technique be applied?
A. Treating drug patients.
B. Identifying drug driving.
C. Purifying cocaine.
D. Promoting the commercial market.
C
Recent data released from the Department of Labor in the US show that for the first time in 10 years, women make up more than half (50.04%) of the workforce. Many have celebrated this milestone as proof that women are inching toward equality in the workplace. After all, a symbol of women's equality in America has always been increased via labor force participation.
For women in today's economy, however, increased employment also carries an increased burden. Women earn less, have less flexibility in terms of their work schedules to meet caretaking demands, and are more likely to experience discrimination based on gender or sexual harassment than their male counterparts (相同的人物) in the workforce.
Women earn less than men in nearly every occupation for which there is available data. If we do nothing,
women will not reach economic equality with men until 2059. For women of color, it will take more than a century: 2130 for black women and 2224 for Hispanic women (those from Latin America). This means women will have to work longer or hold multiple jobs to make ends meet and to care for their families.
Increased employment among women has not translated into less work at home. Many women in the workforce are sill primarily responsible for the lion's share of housework and caretaking responsibilities compared with men.
A new study by Oxfam America-Institute for Women's Policy Research finds that women in the United States spend 37% more time on household and care work than their male counterparts, limiting career choices and economic mobility, and affecting their overall health and wellbeing
Black and Hispanic women spend nearly twice as much time on unpaid housework and caretaking demands as their male counterparts.
Much has been made about our strong economy as measured by how well the stock market performs and low unemployment. There’s no doubt the increase in workforce participation among women will help boost this narrative (叙述). However it does not mean that women are more economically secure.
In today's economy, working and middle-class families continue to struggle with rising housing and health care costs, stagnant (停滞的) wages and a shift to a technology-driven economy fueled by automation and the loss of manufacturing jobs. These trends have an extreme impact on women.
61. Why have people celebrated women's taking up more than half of the workforce?
A. Because women are likely to replace men in some fields.
B. Because that is the symbol of labor force participation.
C. Because it indicates more equality for women at workplace.
D. Because the data was released from the Department of Labor.
62. The numbers in Para. 3 are used to emphasize that_____.
A. women's inequality is a hard nut to crack
B. women have to bear an increased burden
C. women earn less than men in every occupation
D. women of color see no hope to reach equality
63. Why doesn't women's employment mean women are more economically secure?
A. Manufacturing jobs are increased by high-tech automation.
B. The trends in today's economy are unfavourable to women.
C. Economy is measured by the performance of the stock market.
D. Women are responsible for rising housing and health care costs.
64. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Women's Participation and Economic growth
B. Over Half of Women Have Entered the Workforce
C. Women Spend More Time on Household Than Men
D. Women's Increased Employment Carries Increased Burden
D
My father died when I was four years old. He was only 27 and had been working as an assistant city lawyer in Reno, Nevada, for two years. I only mention that last part because it meant he wasn't entitled to the state employees' pension, so my mom didn't get any survivor's benefits. She was 28, pregnant with my younger sister, and unemployed. She'd been forced out of her job as a speech therapist. In the early 1970s, the majority of U.S. school districts forced pregnant women to take unpaid leave, or just fired them when their “condition" became obvious. Even today, women still aren't equal to men in these 16 ways.
I don't have a lot of specific memories from that time, but I do remember two moments from these terrible months very clearly. One was my mother telling me that my father had died. I wept, understanding that this meant we could no longer be with him, but I wondered if maybe we could phone him. "By long-distance," I suggested. When my mom finally shook her head no, I knew something no child should ever know. Anything can happen.
The other thing I remember happened shortly after my sister was born. While she nursed, I was tight at my mother's side. “We'll be okay," my mom said. “I can work." It didn't matter that I had the only the vaguest conception of what "work" was ... something parents did while kids were at preschool? I'd been hopelessly sinking and, magically, a floatie appeared.
Three months after my sister was born, a speech therapist's position in the local school district opened, and my mother got the job. Somehow, that spring, we moved out of my father's childhood bedroom- which my mom, sister, and I had been sharing at my paternal grandparents home since my dad had died- -and into our own little house. The next fall, I started kindergarten, walking to a neighborhood school with a little posse (一群人)，just like a normal kid.
By that fall, my mom was not only working full-time during the day, but also taking classes in the evening, so
she could qualify for a higher salary with her school district, and working extra jobs. My mom working 80+ hours a week wasn't easy or pleasant. My sister and I were tossed (扔) from grandparents to friends' moms to babysitters to corners of rooms where our mother was teaching. Our house was a mess. I got scolded by teachers for failing to return field-trip permission slips. My mother was often exhausted- and exhaustion made her no fun at best, scary at worst. But I also learned the most important lesson of my life: Work = survival.
Like most girls who grew up in the 1950s, my mother never expected to have a “career." She went to college because that's what the daughters of upwardly mobile families (or those, like my mother’s, hoping to become upwardly mobile) did. In other words, university campuses were where the best potential husbands were. My mom studied education because it was a major her father deemed (认为) appropriate for a young lady. Though the job didn't fascinate my mom at all, she was proud that she could motivate kids to do the repetitive, boring, sometimes really hard exercises that enable them to express themselves clearly.
I've been far more fortunate than my mother. I grew up in an era in which American girls were encouraged to have professional dreams- -huge ones. While I was in high school, Sally Ride became the first American female astronaut, Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to be a candidate for Vice President on a major party ticket. These are just a few of the moments that changed women's history forever.
65. Why did the author mention her late father?
A. To claim survivor's benefits for her mother.
B. To express her deep love for her late father.
C. To describe how hard her mom was struggling.
D. To underline how unfairly her mom was treated.
66. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A. The author was curious about everything.
B. The author refused to believe her mother.
C. The author insisted on phoning her father.
D. The author grew up earlier than other kids.
67. What does the underlined word “ floatie” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The newly-born sister. B. The preschool education.
C. The job opportunity. D. The move into their own house.
68. What was her mother like in the author's eye?
A. She was qualified for a higher salary.
B. She was able to solve all the problems.
C. She was patient even if she felt tired.
D. She was desperate to work to survive.
69. Why did the author's mother go to college?
A. She developed great interest in education.
B. She intended to land a better job in future.
C. She was expected to enter a higher social class.
D. She wanted to be qualified for different jobs.
70. Why does the author say she has been more fortunate than her mother?
A. The author had the chance of receiving good education.
B. The author could have equal professional dreams as men.
C. The author happened to know many successful women.
D. The author managed to change women's history forever.

Emissions are gases and other particles (微粒) that are released into the atmosphere as a result of burning fuels and other processes. The most common types generally come from automobiles, power plants, and industrial companies. The results of too many emissions being released into the atmosphere are poor air quality, global warming, and heavy pollution.
Humans contribute to most air emissions although some animals such as livestock do contribute to a portion of carbon dioxide into the air through digestive process. Despite stricter clean air guidelines, the United States has the highest level of human emissions in the world. This is followed by other industrialized nations like Japan, England, and so on. Many nations are developing rapidly, thus increasing the problem of greenhouse gas emissions in certain areas. The increase in emissions brought about by the introduction of the automobile and fossil fuel power has led to government-mandated (政府强制的) restrictions on companies and car manufacturers. And measures have been
taken to help improve air quality and cut down on greenhouse gases. This is a good start, but it is only one step in the right direction.
The most common emissions released by both human beings and through natural sources are carbon dioxide, methane gas, nitrous oxide, halocarbon, and hexafluoride. Most of them are found in nature but have increased in quantity with the regular burning of fossil fuels. Ozone is another emission that comes as a result of man-made gases combined with natural ones.
As more is learned about global warming and climate change, environmental groups and some government agencies are trying to find new ways to prevent these things from happening. Technologies which make cars and trucks run without the use of fossil fuels are now available in many areas, and solar energy has become a popular power source in many homes and businesses. If used by many people, these things could truly cut down on the amount of emissions produced by humans each year.
Clean energy solutions are the best way to stop this problem from getting worse. Clean energy refers to any energy source that does not emit poisonous gases in the air. Most forms of clean energy are also sustainable, meaning that they never run out. The most common sources of clean energy include solar energy and wind energy. Both are becoming widely available for everyday consumers, as well as affordable.

Recently, faced with the outbreak of COVID-19, many drugs and vaccines are still in research and development stage and have not been put into clinical use. But in China, researchers have achieved good results in the treatment of COVID-19 with the application of traditional Chinese medicine.
There are more than 60 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in treatment. Eighty percent of the patients in China use traditional Chinese Medicine. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine can shorten the time of the negative conversion of the COVID-19 patients.
Regrettably, there is still prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine, which prevents some countries from using it in their clinical treatment. Therefore, it is high time that we promoted traditional Chinese medicine.
