They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These reckless (鲁莽的) behaviors have caught the publics attention.In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious (焦急的) customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems (激励制度), noted CRI Online.Some cities are also taking action.

Waving (向挥手) her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard (搭乘) the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16. The 41-year-old Wang became the first female (女性的) astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. During their six-month stay, Wang, alongside Zhai and Ye, will do experiments (实验) and set up robotic arms. Wang will also do the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman, reported Xinhua. Wangs space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army.After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups (引体向上) and barbells (杠铃). “The space environment wont change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua.The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain (大脑) was short of blood. “Theres a red button (按钮),” said Wang. “If you cant bear it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.” That strong spirit finally led to realizing her dream in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission.Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages (优势). “Women tend (倾向于) to be more patient and can better deal with loneliness. Womens hearts are also easier to adapt to the weightless (失重的) environment, making them more suitable (适合的) for long-term missions.” Retired NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou XIII trip. Coleman said: “When you look out the window and see the stars and the Earth, billions (数十亿) of women will be looking out that window with you.” Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.8What do Wangs words mean in Paragraph 4?ABoth male and female astronauts can go to space.BIts harder for a woman to live in space than a man.CMen and women will face the same difficulties in space.DThe space environment is not easy to change.9Why didnt Wang press the red button?ABecause there isnt a red button.BBecause she her brain was short of blood.CBecause she became blind.DBecause she wanted to try her best.10What advantages does a female astronaut have, according to Wang?a.

How much do you know about the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒)? It is this virus that causes COVID-19, an acute respiratory infectious disease (急性呼吸道传染病). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. The word “corona” comes from Latin (拉丁文) and refers to crown (王冠) . When people first saw a coronavirus under a microscope (显微镜) , they found that its spikes (刺突) made it look like a crown. Thats how the viruses got their names. Some coronaviruses cause illness in humans; many others are found in animals, including camels, cats and bats.So far, we have found seven kinds of coronavirus that can infect (感染) humans. Four of them cause common sicknesses, such as the flu and common cold. But some coronaviruses are more serious such as SARS (非典型肺炎) and MERS (中东呼吸综合征) . In 2002 and 2003, SARS hit 32 countries and regions (地区) around the world. China was hit the hardest, with 5, 327 cases (病例) and 349 deaths on the Chinese mainland. About nine years later, MERS first showed up in Saudi Arabia and caused 858 deaths.13Why coronaviruses were named this way?a. Because corona means “virus” in English.b. Because the spikes of coronaviruses made them look like crowns.c. Because corona refers to “crown” in Latin.d. Because coronaviruses were first found in a crown club.AabBacCbcDbd14From the passage, we know that _.Acoronaviruses can make animals fall illBcoronaviruses come from humansCnot all coronaviruses can infect humansDcamels, cats and bats cant carry coronaviruses15How many people died in China because of SARS?A5, 327.B349.C858.D4, 978.16When did MERS break out?AIn 2020.BIn 2012.CIn 2003.DIn 2019.试卷第5页，共6页
