In the special time of fighting against COVID-19, you may want to learn more about viruses. Besides reading news, watching films and TV series may help you better understand them. Here are the three choices for you.
Contagion
A deadly virus spreads rapidly and kills people within days of showing symptoms. As the fast-moving pandemic grows, the worldwide medical community works to find a cure.
US political website The Hill says, “It makes it clear that a virus tries to seek out new hosts (宿主) because its carriers die — as it must to survive, and it must always stay one jump ahead of death.”

Flu
With a severe outbreak of the epidemic a South Korean city, the government orders a complete shutdown to separate the community. Doctor Kim and a rescue worker Kang want to save the infected, including Kim’s daughter. They enter the closed city and successfully develop a vaccine (疫苗).
“It conveys to its audience the importance of treating people with dignity and courage,” movie critic Kerry wrote in her essay.

The Hot Zone
Since the Ebola virus first broke out in the 1970s in Africa, it has become famous worldwide and one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Based on the virus, a drama called The Hot Zone was created. It is set in Washington, DC, in 1989, when the virus appears in an animal research lab. A US Army scientist, Nancy Jaax, risks her life to prevent a serious outbreak.
“The Hot Zone shows what it takes to defeat an outbreak,” noted Variety.

If you live near a deep forest, you might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard, but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.
The woman then posted several photos of the baby deer taking refuge (避难) in one of her rooms on her Twitter account “Amscolie”. She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was approaching so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house. In the meantime, she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather, especially a number of deer. However, she could not find any of them so she went back to her home.
Surprisingly, she found that the deer had already made their way inside her house!
Like many other animals, deer can predict stormy weather and know when it is best to find a shelter from the dangerous weather. As the back door was opened, she did not notice when the deer entered her house. The three intelligent baby deer made their way inside but there was no sight of their parents. The woman did try to find if there was any deer nearby her house but to no avail. The woman thought that the baby deer might have lost their parents so she welcomed them with open arms.
“I raise orphaned (孤儿的) wildlife. Recently, as a storm was coming, I doubted some wildlife couldn’t find shelters, so I opened the back door. With a shock, I went inside, only to see them next to an end table in the living room. I told them they could sleep in the house for the night because the weather was going to be terrible. What a day!” the woman wrote on .

C
A handful of small animal and human studies prove that consuming dairy products like milk and cheese before bed may help most people have a more restful night’s sleep, though the reason why remains unclear.
Most experts believe that milk promoting sleep may be related to chemical compounds, the mental effects of this relaxed bedtime habit, or both.
Most experts agree that milk’s sleep-promoting possibility is likely related to specific chemical compounds, such as tryptophan (色氨酸)and melatonin (褪黑素)in milk which may help you fall asleep. Because the role of tryptophan and melatonin in sleep disorders is well established, most experts believe taking supplements of these compounds may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression that can crop up at bed time.
However, there’s currently no evidence to suggest that a single glass of milk contains enough tryptophan or melatonin to significantly influence your body’s natural production of elements which help a person fall asleep fast or to independently treat a disordered sleeping pattern.
Some professors, such as Clinten in Boston University, draw a theory and suspect that milk’s potential role as a sleep aid has little to do with its nutritional composition and that it’s instead more closely related to the mental effect of having a calming bedtime habit.
Another theory is that drinking warm milk could subconsciously remind you of having milk at bedtime during your early childhood years. These soothing feelings may signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully.
Still, there is not enough evidence to definitely prove any particular effects of developing a habit of drinking milk before bedtime, so more research is needed.
8. What can we know about the viewpoint that milk can promote sleep
A Milk can only help animals fall asleep quickly.
B. The reason why drinking milk can promote sleep has been found.
C. Everyone can fall asleep faster by drinking milk before going to sleep.
D. The tryptophan and melatonin in milk may promote healthy sleep cycles.
9. According to the theory, Clinten thinks drinking milk before bedtime can .
A. Release nutritional composition.
B. Add more anxiety and depression.
C. Imply oneself that you should go to bed now with ease.
D. Continue to develop the habit of drinking just like in your childhood.
10. Who is the intended readers
A. Tradesman who supply milk. B. People who suffer from wakefulness.
C. Professors in Boston University. D. Children with a disordered sleeping habits.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the effects of the milk before bedtime
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝牛奶是否对睡眠有帮助进行了解释说明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most experts agree that milk’s sleep-promoting possibility is likely related to specific chemical compounds, such as tryptophan (色氨酸)and melatonin (褪黑素) in milk which may help you fall asleep.(大多数专家都认为，牛奶促进睡眠的可能性可能与特定的化合物有关，比如牛奶中的色氨酸和褪黑素，它们可以帮助你入睡)”可知，牛奶中的色氨酸和褪黑素可以促进健康的睡眠周期。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Some professors, such as Clinten in Boston University, draw a theory and suspect that milk’s potential role as a sleep aid has little to do with its nutritional composition and that it’s instead more closely related to the mental effect of having a calming bedtime habit.(一些教授，如波士顿大学Clinten，提出了一个理论，并怀疑牛奶作为助眠剂的潜在作用与它的营养成分无关，相反， 它与拥有一个平静的就寝习惯的心理影响更密切相关)”可知，Clinten认为睡前喝牛奶可以暗示自己现在该轻松上床睡觉 了。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第一段“A handful of small animal and human studies prove that consuming dairy products like milk and cheese before bed may help most people have a more restful night’s sleep, though the reason why remains unclear.(一些小型动物和人类研究证明，睡前食用牛奶和奶酪等乳制品可能有助于大多数人获得更安宁的睡眠，尽管原因尚不清楚) ”可知，本文讲述了喝牛奶可能有助于改善睡眠质量，因此这篇文章可能适合失眠的人看。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, there is not enough evidence to definitely prove any particular effects of developing a habit of drinking milk before bedtime, so more research is needed.(不过，目前还没有足够的证据明确证明养成睡前喝牛奶的习惯有什么特别的影响，因此还需要更多的研究)”可知，作者对睡前喝牛奶的效果持怀疑态度。故选A。
D
Could an app tell if a first date is just not that into you Engineers at the University of Cincinnati say the technology might not be far off. They trained a computer-using data from reparable technology that measures respiration, heart rates and perspiration to identify the type of conversation two people were having based on their physiological responses alone.
Researchers studied a phenomenon in which people’s heart rates, respiration and other autonomic nervous system responses become synchronized (同步的) when they talk or collaborate. Known as physiological synchrony, this effect is stronger when two people engage deeply in a conversation or cooperate closely on a task. “Physiological synchrony shows up even when people are talking over Zoom, an online chat platform,” said study co-author Vesna Novak.
In experiments with human participants, the computer was able to differentiate four different conversations with as much as 75% accuracy. The study is one of the first of its kind to train artificial intelligence how to recognize aspects of a conversation based on the participants’ physiology alone.
“The computer could tell if you’re a bore,” lead author Chatterjee said. “A modified version of our system could measure the level of interest a person is taking in the conversation, how harmonious the two of you are and how engaged the other person is in the conversation.”
Studies have shown that physiological synchrony can predict how well two people will work together to accomplish a task. The degree of synchrony also correlates with how much empathy a patient perceives in a therapist or the level of engagement students feel with their teachers.
“You could probably use our system to determine which people in an organization work better together in a group and which are naturally opposed,” Chatterjee said.
This aspect of affective computing holds huge potential for providing real-time feedback for educators, therapists or even autistic people, Novak said, “There are a lot of potential applications in this space.”
12. What did the engineers train the computer to do in the study
A. Record conversations. B. Smooth conversations.
C. Judge conversations. D. Provide conversation tips.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How we develop talking skills. B. How physiological synchrony works.
C. Why chatting online gets popular. D. Why physiological synchrony matters.
14. How does physiological synchrony benefit teachers
A. By offering them some teaching skills.
B. By helping them correcting homework.
C. By creating a relaxing studying atmosphere.
D. By providing them with students’ participation level.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Stay or pass This computer can tell. B. Good or bad That is a big problem.
C. What can the computer do for patients D. How can we improve our people skills
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家发现 AI 可以判定人们之间的对话是否顺利，对话应该继续还是结束。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They trained a computer-using data from reparable technology that measures respiration, heart rates and perspiration to identify the type of conversation two people were having based on their physiological responses alone. (他们训练了一台计算机，利用测量呼吸、心率和出汗的可再生技术的数据，仅根据两个人的生理反应来识别他们的谈话类型)”可知，工程师们训练计算机来判断对话。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Researchers studied a phenomenon in which people’s heart rates, respiration and other autonomic nervous system responses become synchronized (同步的) when they talk or collaborate. (研究人员研究了一种现象，即当人们交谈或合作时，他们的心率、呼吸和其他自主神经系统反应会同步)”可知，第二段主要介绍了生理同步是如何工作的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句“The degree of synchrony also correlates with how much empathy a patient perceives in a therapist or the level of engagement students feel with their teachers. (同步性的程度还与患者对治疗师的共情程度或学生对老师的参与程度有关)”可知，生理同步可以帮助老师了解学生参与课堂学习的程度。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Could an app tell if a first date is just not that into you Engineers at the, University of Cincinnati say the technology might not be far off. (如果第一次约会的人没那么喜欢你，应用程序能告诉你吗？辛辛那提大学的工程师表示，这项技术可能不会太遥远)”以及全文可知，科学家发现 AI 可以判定人们之间的对话是否顺利，对话应该继续还是结束。由此可知，A 项：Stay or pass This computer can tell(留下还是离开？这台计算机可以判断)可以作为文章标题，符合题意。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was just another busy day until I met the boy on the bus. He was not a passenger like me. He was, what we call a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city. But what was special about that boy was his face. There was “something” in him that caught my attention. That was an angelic(天使般的)baby face with little care.
He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place. But instead of talking back, the boy kept silent and started handing out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, that his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He badly needed money to help his family, so he wished someone warm-hearted to buy chocolates from him.
This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my earphones on, listening to some relaxing music to kill time. When he came to me to get the paper back, I casually gave him some money. Thankfully it brought some smiles on his face. He was about to give me ten chocolates in return for the money I gave to him when I stopped him.
“I don’t like chocolates, brother. So there is no need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said.
All of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared.
“I’m not a beggar. Please take the chocolate, or take your money back.”
His straight answer greatly surprised me. I even felt he was slightly angry. I had given money to many kids before, without taking their chocolates. But this time something seemed different. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus. Seeing his small figure disappear in the busy street, I felt at a loss. “I know the boy.” A voice flew through the frozen air and drew me back to life. Then a man told all of us that the boy was a top student in a primary school nearby, whose mother fell ill due to the heavy work. In order to raise some money for his mother, the boy had been selling chocolates for several weeks.
Having got the boy’s name, I decided to help him. I got off the bus at the next stop and took a taxi to his school. Upon arrival, I managed to find the headmaster and handed him $1000, asking him to secretly give the money to the boy who I met selling chocolates on the bus. The headmaster promised to make everything perfect and thanked me on behalf of the boy and his mother. Now, I knew I could go home without shame and regret.

If you live near a deep forest, you might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard, but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.
The woman then posted several photos of the baby deer taking refuge (避难) in one of her rooms on her Twitter account “Amscolie”. She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was approaching so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house. In the meantime, she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather, especially a number of deer. However, she could not find any of them so she went back to her home.
Surprisingly, she found that the deer had already made their way inside her house!
Like many other animals deer can predict stormy weather and know when it is best to find a shelter from the dangerous weather. As the back door was opened, she did not notice when the deer entered her house. The three intelligent baby deer made their way inside but there was no sight of their parents. The woman did try to find if there was any deer nearby her house but to no avail. The woman thought that the baby deer might have lost their parents so she welcomed them with open arms.
“I raise orphaned (孤儿的) wildlife. Recently, as a storm was coming, I doubted some wildlife couldn’t find shelters, so I opened the back door.

A handful of small animal and human studies prove that consuming dairy products like milk and cheese before bed may help most people have a more restful night’s sleep, though the reason why remains unclear.
Most experts believe that milk promoting sleep may be related to chemical compounds, the mental effects of this relaxed bedtime habit, or both.
Most experts agree that milk’s sleep-promoting possibility is likely related to specific chemical compounds, such as tryptophan (色氨酸)and melatonin (褪黑素)in milk which may help you fall asleep. Because the role of tryptophan and melatonin in sleep disorders is well established, most experts believe taking supplements of these compounds may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression that can crop up at bed time.
However, there’s currently no evidence to suggest that a single glass of milk contains enough tryptophan or melatonin to significantly influence your body’s natural production of elements which help a person fall asleep fast or to independently treat a disordered sleeping pattern.
Some professors, such as Clinten in Boston University, draw a theory and suspect that milk’s potential role as a sleep aid has little to do with its nutritional composition and that it’s instead more closely related to the mental effect of having a calming bedtime habit.
Another theory is that drinking warm milk could subconsciously remind you of having milk at bedtime during your early childhood years. These soothing feelings may signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully.
Still, there is not enough evidence to definitely prove any particular effects of developing a habit of drinking milk before bedtime, so more research is needed.
8. What can we know about the viewpoint that milk can promote sleep
A. Milk can only help animals fall asleep quickly.
B The reason why drinking milk can promote sleep has been found.
C. Everyone can fall asleep faster by drinking milk before going to sleep.
D. The tryptophan and melatonin in milk may promote healthy sleep cycles.
9. According to the theory, Clinten thinks drinking milk before bedtime can .
A. Release nutritional composition.
B Add more anxiety and depression.
C. Imply oneself that you should go to bed now with ease.
D. Continue to develop the habit of drinking just like in your childhood.
10. Who is the intended readers
A. Tradesman who supply milk. B. People who suffer from wakefulness.
C. Professors in Boston University. D. Children with a disordered sleeping habits.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the effects of the milk before bedtime
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
D
Could an app tell if a first date is just not that into you Engineers at the University of Cincinnati say the technology might not be far off. They trained a computer-using data from reparable technology that measures respiration, heart rates and perspiration to identify the type of conversation two people were having based on their physiological responses alone.
Researchers studied a phenomenon in which people’s heart rates, respiration and other autonomic nervous system responses become synchronized (同步的) when they talk or collaborate. Known as physiological synchrony, this effect is stronger when two people engage deeply in a conversation or cooperate closely on a task. “Physiological synchrony shows up even when people are talking over Zoom, an online chat platform,” said study co-author Vesna Novak.
In experiments with human participants, the computer was able to differentiate four different conversations with as much as 75% accuracy. The study is one of the first of its kind to train artificial intelligence how to recognize aspects of a conversation based on the participants’ physiology alone.
“The computer could tell if you’re a bore,” lead author Chatterjee said. “A modified version of our system could measure the level of interest a person is taking in the conversation, how harmonious the two of you are and how engaged the other person is in the conversation.”
Studies have shown that physiological synchrony can predict how well two people will work together to accomplish a task. The degree of synchrony also correlates with how much empathy a patient perceives in a therapist or the level of engagement students feel with their teachers.
“You could probably use our system to determine which people in an organization work better together in a group and which are naturally opposed,” Chatterjee said.
This aspect of affective computing holds huge potential for providing real-time feedback for educators, therapists or even autistic people, Novak said, “There are a lot of potential applications in this space.”
12. What did the engineers train the computer to do in the study
A. Record conversations. B. Smooth conversations.
C. Judge conversations. D. Provide conversation tips.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was just another busy day until I met the boy on the bus. He was not a passenger like me. He was, what we call a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city. But what was special about that boy was his face. There was “something” in him that caught my attention. That was an angelic(天使般的)baby face with little care.
He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place. But instead of talking back, the boy kept silent and started handing out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, that his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He badly needed money to help his family, so he wished someone warm-hearted to buy chocolates from him.
This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my earphones on, listening to some relaxing music to kill time. When he came to me to get the paper back, I casually gave him some money. Thankfully it brought some smiles on his face. He was about to give me ten chocolates in return for the money I gave to him when I stopped him.
“I don’t like chocolates, brother. So there is no need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said.
All of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared.
“I’m not a beggar. Please take the chocolate, or take your money back.”
His straight answer greatly surprised me. I even felt he was slightly angry. I had given money to many kids before, without taking their chocolates. But this time something seemed different. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus.

Having got the boy’s name, I decided to help him.
