It noted the need for an organized international effort to fight the virus.Increased efforts to find and treat the coronavirus: The foundation promised $20 million right away to hurry the process of identifying those who are sick, keeping them separate, and helping them get better. The goal is to stop the disease from spreading to more people and places. Money is also going to public health officials in China and other countries with coronavirus patients to help them pay the start-up cost of medical workers and supplies.Protecting at-risk groups in Africa and South Asia: Recent epidemics, such as the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2022, have had a big effect on people living in extreme poverty. Most of those people live in African countries south of the Sahara Desert or parts of South Asia. Another $20 million is going to public health officials in these areas to improve their emergency operations and to treat confirmed cases. One partner is the African Field Epidemiology Network, a non-profit service that currently operates in more than 30 African countries.Developing Vaccines: Of the total donation, $60 million will go to speed the process of making vaccines to protect against the novel coronavirus. One organization working on developing the anti-coronavirus vaccines is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations with Chinese public- and private-sector researchers; trying to find ways to stop the spread of the virus.21The money donated by the BMGF will be used in the following aspects except_Ato build a new hospital in ChinaBto separate the healthy from the sickCto test people for the virus Dto find treatment for the virus -infected22Which of the following statements is true?AThe money is specially donated to Chinas public health department.BAnother $20 million will be used to help African people suffering from starvation.CMost of the donated money will be put into the developing and innovating vaccines.DThe African Field Epidemiology Network is a non- profit medical service organization only in western Africa. 23The passage is most probably digested from _.Aa posterBa magazineCa text bookDa news reportBAfter spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college, her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said , You have to let me in . “Impressed-she was a National Merit ( 英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in BrazilYale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist, her mother said.On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled( 炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday, Mrs. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.Mrs. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter, she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, and it was her life. There was no saying Dont do this. This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could. “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism, her mother said.24From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that .AYale was her last choiceBMarie Colvin was good at persuadingCYale must keep its promise to Marie ColvinDMarie Colvin was confident of herself 25Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvins life ?a.

But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing DThe school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school's principal, Donna Chambers， said that the scheme had been well received"There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent," she explainedChambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life", she said.But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.And of course, being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!28What do schools usually do at the end of the school year? _ADividing candiesBMaking Christmas cardsCEvaluating kids' performancesDGrading parents29What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme? _AIt uses a new way to evaluate kidsBIt gives parents further education CIt has gained much acceptanceDIt improves kids' motivation for learning30What does the author think of parents being involved in kids' education? _AIt means far more than being gradedBIt brings shame to parentsCIt adds to parents' burden DIt increases parents' commitment to education31What is the passage mainly about? _AThere is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life.BParents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report.CParents should be involved in children's school life.DWhether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets.DSleep is essential for a persons wellbeing. Researchers have found that sleep loss increases a persons risk of developing serious medical conditions. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the correlation (相关性) between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the students in his class. Instead, the professor hoped the popular wrist-worn electronic device (装置), which tracks a persons activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.As part of the research, a quarter of the participants chose a fitness class specially created for the study. After the school term ended, the researchers carefully analysed the data. Much to Grossmans surprise, they found no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not.However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going through the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend (走向) from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep and his/her grade on the exams.Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Grossman says: “Weve heard the phrase Get a good nights sleep, youve got a big day tomorrow. It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, its the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.The research does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the results are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting As just required some extra ZZZs?32Whats Grossmans original purpose by using Fitbits in the research?ATo improve students sleep patterns.BTo find effects of physical exercise on grades.CTo monitor students physical condition.DTo regulate students daily behavior.33What did Grossman think of the research result?AIt was unreliable.BIt was changeableCIt was unexpected. DIt was fruitless.34What plays a more important part in test performance?AAverage amount of sleep during tests.BSleep in the learning stage.CSleep quality the night before the test.DA regular bedtime.35What is the best title for the text?AEnough Sleep Benefits Our WellbeingBBe Physically Active and Sleep More CCatch ZZZs for Good Test PerformanceDThe More Exercise, the Better Schoolwork第二节共5小题;每题2分，总分值10分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many of us are hardwired NOT to ask for help. We think it makes us appear weak. We think people will say no. we think we have to do everything ourselves. 36 . We have to get over that, and theres how:Get over yourselfNo oneand I mean NO ONE-got anywhere alone. You cannot and should not do everything yourself. You are not, in fact, always the best person for the job, or the “only person who can do it. Asking for help is sign of strength, not weakness. Asking for help clears space for you and frees your time and energy. 37 Rebuild your thinkingRebuild what it means to ask for help from “I am a weak, incompetent loser to “I am strategically allocating my time to focus on what matters most. Don t focus on the fact that you cant do something or don t have the time. 38 Its a chance to connect, a chance to value a colleague, a chance to get something done faster or better, a chance to optimize your own time and talents.39 Asking for help is about tapping valuable resources to get the best outcome the most quickly with the fewest
