like the water in the river.”This is 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 respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”Indeed,a fast response is crucial in any crisis.In this special time,Chinacant afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic.After all,time equals life during this crisis.4.Confucius saying“Time flows away like the water in the river.”is mentioned to _.A.arouse readers interest in the passage.B.introduce the subject of the passage.C.present the background information.D.stress the value of time in epidemic.5.What can we learn about Lei shenshan hospital and Huo shenshan hospital?A.They are new hospitals for health care inWuhan.B.They were built in minimal time.C.Over 4,000 workers worked continuously.D.Stuart found them too massive to believe.6.We can infer from Shi Jianhuas words that the automobile industry inChina_.A.had no medical supplies factories before.B.guarantees whoever in need enough masks.C.has capabilities to give timely response.D.has strong abilities in manufacturing.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.China fights epidemic against the clock.B.Twospecial hospitals were constructed.C.Chinese firms acted quickly and effectively.D.Time is crucial for people in overcoming crisis.C The measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases the need for plastic protective equipment.Most plastic is made from fossil fuels.Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome.Less than 10%of the plastic produced has been recycled.Even more of it has been burned.But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland,and it is increasingly polluting the environment.We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food.But microplastic is even more worrisome.Plastic doesnt break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）,which have been found in every corner of the planet,on land and in the air,in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires.Instead,they have viewed single-use plasticwhich makes up about 40%of plastic used each yearas a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management.That attitude must change because the recent global breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been,nor ever will be,able to keep up with plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reductionit was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged.The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75%by 2032.California,though influential,cant solve this crisis alone.The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.8.Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A.To show the harm of plastic B.To warn of the climate change.C.To call for the development of fossil fuels.D.To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.9.Whats the authors attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A.Favorable.B.Tolerant.C.Curious.D.Opposed.10.Whats Californias role in reducing plastic waste?A.A pioneer.B.A failure.C.An objector.D.A predictor.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Microplastic Products Are Harmful B.Waste Recycling Is an Urgent Matter C.Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up Call D.Global Environmental Disasters Are Increasing D Not long after the first fitness magazine was published,a list probably followed soon after,ranking the best fitness equipment.This tradition has continued,with the implied message:usethisand exercise willbe yours.And thats part of the problem,says Dr.Lieberman,a professor of Harvard University.There isnt one“best”anything to achieve fitness.Besides,people understand exercise is good for them.Knowledge about exercise still doesnt motivate.Before you can answer why,it helps to look at history.Before the Industrial Revolution,people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to.But then technology made life and work easier.Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for.“Its a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when its neither necessary nor rewarding,”he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary,but a doctors prescription to exercise“can make it like taking cod liver oil,”Lieberman says.“Sometimes it works,but more often than not,it doesnt.And its still coming across as an order,and“not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,”says Dr.Beth Frates,assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because its never been enjoyable.Most of us probably have memories of gym class,not being picked for a team,or being in a fitness center thats filled with in-shape people.The majority dont feel excited.They feel that exercise isnt for them,but it can be.Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise.It starts with an expanded definition of what counts as exercise,and an injection of whats rarely used to describe exercise,but is certainly allowed:namely,fun.12.What does the underlined“this”in paragraph 1 refer to?A.The magazine.B.The tradition.C.The equipment.D.The message.13.What can we infer about technology?A.It improves life quality.B.It saves peoples time.C.It drives social progress.D.It makes exercise less likely.14.Why does the author mention“cod liver oil”in paragraph 4?A.To attach importance to health.B.To present a doctors prescription.C.To explain exercise is considered inessential.D.To introduce the latest medical application.15.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Exercise should be made more joyful.B.Its more fun to work out with others.C.We may encounter bad workout experiences.D.Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.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 Running,cycling,aerobics(有氧运动)there are hundreds of ways to get fit._16_Here are two ly new ones that you might like to
