2020中考英语时文阅读训练（疫情相关）（含答案）篇目一Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措。

To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison (监狱).There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on (基于) the last number of their national ID number. For example, people with an ID number ending in 0, 7 or 4 can leave the house on Monday, while those with an ID number ending 1, 8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday.一、True or false1.People can stay at least 1.5 meters away from other people when in public.2.The students are studying online instead of going to school.3.People still can hold public activities during social distancing4.P eople who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule in Singapore.5.In Panama, men and women can leave their homes in one day.6.People with an ID number ending in 0, 8 or 4 can leave the home On Monday.二、Choose the answer1.In Australia, only _____ people should be allowed in a100-square-meter room.A. 4B. 10C. 20D. 252.In Singapore, people will be punished with _____ if they come within 1 meter of another person.A. six months in jailB. a fine of $50,000C. ten months in jailD. a fine of $100,0003.What do we know about social distancing?A.

To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus,authorities at every level in China have been using their wits to take fast action.In heavily-affected (受到严重影响的) areas such as Hubei province,the government decided to lock down cities. After Wuhan's lockdown on Jan 23, for example,13 other cities in Hubei also took lockdown measures. The practice proved effective (有效的) in stamping out the virus' spread at its root, noted China Daily.Communities across China have also taken quick action. Manyresidential areas have adopted closed-off management,where one family can only let one person come out every day to buy daily supplies.There are also community workers who check people's temperatures,keep records of local people’s travel history, keep non-residents (非住户) out of the community, and make sure that returnees (返回者) from high-risk areas quarantine (隔离) themselves. They have built the first line of defense (防御) against the virus across China.According to Xinhua, there are millions of community workers in 650,000 urban and rural communities across the country. Due to limited (有限的) manpower, many people from all walks of life have volunteered to do the job.“In the face of an unexpected outbreak,it's amazing to see that China could mobilize（动员) people on such a large scale (规模）”Li Baoping from the Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences told Xinhua.“Great governance capacity(治理能力) at all levels gives us confidence in winning the battle.”Answer the questions:1.When was Wuhan locked down?_____________________________________________2.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “stamping out" inChinese?_____________________________________________3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?________________________________________________4.Has there been enough manpower during the epidemic?__________________________________________________5.What does Li Baoping think about the battle against the virus?___________________________________________________篇目三Scientists fight their own battle面对新病毒，科学家积极“应战”.Since novel coronavirus pneumonia is an infectious (传染的) disease, the battle against it is like a race against time.The faster we find better treatments,the fewer people it will affect. Scientists have been rushing to study the novel coronavirus and looking for possible treatments.The first task was to learn about the virus.On Jan 11 - 12 days after getting a sample (样本) from an infected patient -scientists in Wuhan released the genetic sequence (基因序列) of the new coronavirus. It provides the basis for understanding the virus and developing testing kits (检测盒) and vaccines. They shared the data with scientists around the world so that they can develop vaccines at the same time.Another task was to make testing kits to identify more patients.Around Jan 14,several companies created nucleic acid (核酸) test kits. The Kehua Biochemical Company produced the first kits.The kits take 1.5 to 3 hours to get test results using samples from suspected (疑似的) patients.Ten companies are now producing nucleic acid test kits, making 1.7 million kits every day, according to the National Medical Products Administration.Scientists are still looking for new medications and treatments. They have found that plasma (血浆）from recovered patients is an effective treatment because the plasma has antibodies (抗体) that can stop the virus.As of Feb 28,91 patients had seen improvements in their symptoms(症状) thanks to plasma from recovered patients according to the National Health Commission.Meanwhile,traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used totreat patients. For example, a company in Guangdong found a TCM prescription (药方) called Toujie Quwen Granule (透解祛疯颗粒）.It's proved to reduce symptoms in 50 mild cases. Five drugs have also been allowed to go through clinical trials (临床试验).一、True or false1.Scientists have been found novel coronavirus treatments.2.Genetic sequence (基因序列) of the new coronavirus provides the basis for understanding the virus and developing vaccines.3.The first kits have been produced by a biochemical company.4.Plasma (血浆）from recovered patients is an effective treatment.5.TCM has been used to treat patients,but it is useless.二、Choose the answer:1. Why did scientists study the genetic sequence of the virus?A.Because it's a race against time.B.Because it's a good opportunity to do research.C. Because they can use it to develop a vaccine.D.Because they have to share the results with the world.2. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Treatment with plasma from recovered patients.B.A new medication that works well.C. The efforts that scientists have made to test new drugs.D.New symptoms that patients have shown.3.What do we know from the story?A.We didn't share test kits with other countries.B.Plasma can help prevent the infection.C.Scientists are still working on new treatments.D. TCM is more effective than plasma.答案:篇目一一、FTFFFF二1-5DACAB篇目二1.On Jan 232.杜绝彻底制止munities’ efforts to fight the virus.4.No,there hasn’t5.We will finally win the battle.篇目三一、1-5FTTTF二、1-3CAC篇目一参考译文Best ways to stay apart盘点各国的“社交隔离”举措为了阻止COVID-19的传播，许多国家正在实行社交隔离。
