Flu season generally fades away in March and April, but will the coronavirus go with it? Whether the coronavirus that's quickly spreading around the world will follow the flu season and fade away with spring's arrival is unsatisfyingly uncertain. And many scientists say it's too soon to know how the dangerous virus will behave in warmer weather.
Dozens of viruses exist in the coronavirus family, but only seven afflict（折磨）humans. Four are known to cause mild colds in people, which are common, while others are more novel, deadly, and thought to be transmitted
15
from animals like bats and camels. Health officials have labeled this new virus SARS-CoV-2 and its disease COVID-19. The prospect that summer could delay a pandemic is tempting. Earlier this year, Donald Trump tweeted about China's efforts to contain the virus, saying they would be successful, "especially as the weather starts to warm.”
Viruses that cause influenza or milder coronavirus colds do tend to subside in warmer months because these types of viruses have what scientists refer to as "seasonality," so the president's comments have some scientific backing. But it's highly uncertain that SARS-CoV-2 will behave the same way. Those currently studying the disease say their research is too early to predict how the virus will respond to changing weather.
"I hope it will show seasonality, but it's hard to know," says Stuart Weston, a researcher at the University of Maryland, where the virus is being actively studied. As of Tuesday morning, more than 800,000 coronavirus cases had been confirmed in 74 different countries, with experts saying the disease is likely to keep spreading.
And relatively recent research suggests that dry, cold air may also help viruses stay unbroken in the air or travel farther as they become airborne.
Scientists assume that low humidity, which often occurs in winter, might weaken the function of the mucus（粘液）in your nose, which your body uses to trap and drive foreign bodies like viruses or bacteria away. Cold, dry air can make that normally thick mucus drier and less efficient at trapping a virus.
4. When does flu season usually die down?
A. Early autumn. B. Late Summer.
C. Late Spring. D. Mid Summer.
5. What does the underlined word mean?
A. Frightening B. Decent C. Critical D. Unfamiliar
6. Which of the following is WRONG in scientists' opinion?
A. Several of the coronavirus family are thought to be dangerous to human.
B. COVID-19 will disappear as flu virus with it getting warmer.
C. It's unknown how the dangerous virus will behave in warmer weather.
D. The dry cold air may help viruses spread farther and faster.
7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The reason why people easily get viruses in winter.
15
B. Viruses do agree with the dry and cold atmosphere in winter.
C. If you stay at a warm room, you can't get any viruses.
D. The low temperature in winter is the main reason for viruses to spread.

Innovations are not always welcome. In 1589 William Lee made his way to the English court, hoping to be granted a patent for his invention, a knitting machine. Queen Elizabeth I turned him down: "Consider what the invention could do to my poor subjects," she commanded. "It would assuredly bring ruin to them by robbing them of employment."
The fears of Good Queen Bess have echoed down the centuries—from the Luddites, who destroyed textile machinery in the early 19th century, to John F. Kennedy, who warned of the dangers of automation during his presidential campaign of 1960. In the 21st century the concerns have switched to robots and artificial intelligence (AI); 30% of American workers believe their jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and computers in their lifetime
In the past the relationship between machine and human labor has been driven by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the complementing effect, which allowed employees to do their work more productively. Mr. Susskind worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will take over. Advances in Al have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities, he says, and so will be the "default（默认）choice" for performing them. A few highly paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will either struggle to find work or fall into the "precariat", stuck in jobs that are not just poorly paid but also unstable and stressful.
This depressing view of the impact of technology is plausible（貌似有理的）. But so is a more optimistic outlook, as the economist Roger Bootle showed in his book. Mr. Bootle argued that Al and robotics would improve productivity and economic growth, and release people from performing the most lengthy tasks. As for employment, there will always be demand for services with the human touch. Perhaps, the truth is that it is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects.
8. What's the purpose of the examples in Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. To tell people how many inventions are made.
B. To remind people how important the machines are.
15
C. To demonstrate the possible dangers to human beings.
D. To show some people's attitude towards new inventions.
9. What is the meaning of the underlined word "precariat"?
A. People who have stable jobs. B. People who like their jobs.
C. People who are stuck in bad jobs. D. People whose jobs are well-paid.
10. What is the author's attitude towards AI?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
11. Which statement is TRUE according to Roger Bootle?
A. The impact of technology is depressing.
B. He showed a pessimistic attitude to technogy in his book.
C. AI and robotics would harm productivity and economic growth.
D. AI and robotics release people from performing long and tiring tasks.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D

Observing fish in the ocean depths is challenging. Water pressure, dark light and more make exploring the ocean a tricky expedition. But researchers at MIT believe they have the answer: a soft robot fish called SoFi(short for soft fish).
This small, fish-looking robot swims quietly through its environment, free from anything attached to it so it doesn't disrupt the ecosystem by knocking into things and breaking them. They've already take SoFi out for a successful test swim.
“To our knowledge, this is the first robotic fish that can swim untethered for extended periods of time, Robert Katzschmann, lead author and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(CSAIL) Ph.D. candidate, said in a statement.
This is a marked improvement over other autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs), which are loud, large and have a limited range of motion as they're often tied to boats. SoFi isn't any of those things thanks to its unique design and construction. For starters, the back side of the little robot fish is made of silicon rubber and flexible plastic,
15
meaning it won't damage a reef if bumps into it.
To control SoFi, the team turned to one of the best ways to control just about anything: a waterproofed and customized control pad for a Super Nintendo. The researchers also developed a custom acoustic communication system to send SoFi instructions. So long as they're within 70 feet(21 metres) of SoFi, pushing a right, left, up and down on the direction pad will send an ultrasonic command using wavelengths of 30 to 36 kilohertzes. SoFi receives the command and follows it. If SoFi doesn't receive a command it'll just swim in the last commanded direction. SoFi is powered by a lithium polymer battery, the kind found in smart phones, and it can film and take high-resolution photos thanks to a fisheye lens housed in its "nose".
However…
12. Which is true about SoFi?
A. It can swim quietly without disturbing others. B. It can swim faster than any other real fish.
C. It should be tied to boats D. It needn't be controlled by human beings.
13. What does the underlined word “untethered” mean?
A. Without anything attached to it. B. Without a chargeable battery.
C. Without being observed by people. D. Without making any loud noise.
14. What does the author mean by mentioning rubber and flexible plastic?
A. To tell us SoFi is easy to make with. B. To tell us SoFi is lighter than we expect.
C. To tell us SoFi is safe to the environment. D. To tell us SoFi cannot be damaged by water.
15. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Some negative aspects of SoFi. B. SoFi will change the concept of robot.
C. Scientists will make SoFi change its shape. D. SoFi will bring a revolution to the sea exploration.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. A

Nowadays people attach great importance to reading. Two of the most popular reading media are paper books and electronic books, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. As for me, paper books are my favourite. The reasons are as follows.
In the first place, paper books are much healthier to our eyes as well as bring convenience to the readers without depending on electronic devices. Meanwhile, reading paper books can bring more communication among family members, which can enhance the family bonds. Last, we can also keep our paper books as long as we wish.

Nowadays people attach great importance to reading. Two of the most popular reading media are paper books and electronic books, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. As for me, e-books are my favourite. The reasons are as follows.
To start with, E-books are so convenient that we can read them anywhere at any time if we want. Furthermore, so many options of E-books are available on the internet, providing so much for you to choose from. Last but not least, E-books are updated at a fast speed, which can help us keep up with the modern world's pace.
As mentioned above, I prefer reading E-books to paper books.

Nowadays people attach great importance to reading. As Bacon says, reading makes a full man. Paper books prevails for over hundred of years. For many people, escepially for adult, paper reading is still their favorite. It is paper books that passes our human's knowledge from generation to generation.
On the other hand, we can ignore that we're already in the era of technology. Electronic reading becomes important in our daily life. Every day we receive and send information on the internet. E-reading becomes a fashion nowadays, especially among young people.
As for me, I enjoy both paper reading and e-reading. In my study, most of the knowledge is from paper books, which is beneficial to both our body and mind. E-books are also my choice when we explore the new world and the latest information. I suggest we should not be picky as for the reading resources. After all, knowledge itself does matter.
