especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China,andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.In late January,when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected,and hospitals didnt have adequate beds for them,two special hospitalsLei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built.These two makeshift(临时的)hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters,andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters.More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts,and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site.The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time.It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan,and 14 days for Lei shenshan.This certainly wowed many people overseas.“Its incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period.Its just hard to believe,”a foreigner named Stuart told Peoples Daily.In the meantime,Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing,purchasing materials,production lines and output of technologies,”Shi Jianhua,deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers,told CCTV News.“In this special time,when the nation needs more masks,its time for us to quickly

Planned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather,according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites.This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather.Therefore,it could be used to plan the timing of activities,which could be affected by extreme space weather,for example,major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting.The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission.It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024,but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens,a space physicist at theUniversityofReading,said,“Until now,the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing.Though there is no set pattern of the events,this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study,the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time.Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be,based on observations of previous events.Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare,so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns.The findings suggest that any major planned space missions,which is beyond the next five years,will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.8.What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A.It has lasted just 150 years.B.It doesnt refer to space weather data.C.It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D.It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.9.Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A.To research solar cycles.B.To avoid effects of space weather.C.To meet the needs of the astronauts.D.To make humans return to Earth in 2024.10.What does the underlined word“random“in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Irregular.B.Easy.C.Limited.D.Changeless.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The study is useful for future space missions.B.The planned space missions should be put off.C.Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D.Previous observations make no difference to the study.D Nowadays medical technology seems to be advanced enough for doctors to perform brain transplants(移植).Though this procedure(程序)has only been successfully performed on animals so far,doctors are still hopingto perform this procedure on humans.However,in my opinion,brain transplants should not be performed at all,especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with.Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.Despite many benefits technology brings.I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help.We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adults our mind developed into who we are,so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique.A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be.No one should steal our identity from us,even if we are seriously injured,and change it to a completely new one.Also for the people who have died with healthy brains,that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are“healthy”or“normal”brains.An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as younger persons brain.Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it?This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence,sex,or physical problems that a person might have had before death.Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept“alive”after death and how it can be kept“alive”without damage.Overall.my feelings about this operation are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and challenges that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful.12.Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all?A.The cost of the operation is extremely high.B.Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants.C.A good many problems and side effects may arise.D.This procedure has only been successful on animals 13.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.People shouldnt give their healthy brains to others.B.Having a brain transplant means losing ones identity.C.Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones.D.Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others.14.What is the writers attitude towards brain transplants an humans?A.indifferent B.favorable C.disapproving D.objective 15.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.To encourage brain donation.B.To stress the importance of brain operation.C.Toargue against brain transplants on humans.D.To introduce the technology of brain transplants.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Forgive Someone Forgiving someone who has done something wrong and hurt you can be difficult and painful._16_ While this is natural,holding on to your anger causes you to become more painful.For this reason,it is necessary to choose to forgive,not for the other person,but for
