A
Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice issued by China's National Press and Publication Administration. Online game companies are required to provide services to minors — from8 to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health. Children are playing more and more online games these days. Is it time to limit their online gaming time? What role do parents have? Readers share their opinions.
Rizlared
Online games are addictive, but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this, parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones. Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.
Andrew
Good policy. By limiting time spent on online games, kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential. They can go outside and run, jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.
Adam
It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones. Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage. Some forcibly take away their cellphones, but it will ruin trust and relationship. Even worse, it will make their kids hate them.
Pink
Excessive(过度的)gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health. The gaming industry should not put profit- flaking interests as its priority (优先事项) . They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.
Lauren
There would be a loophole(漏洞). Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration, thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect. Parents ly need to strengthen guidance and
supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction. 1. What should kids do according to Andrew?
A. Play online games. B. Play with a smart phone. C. Study all the time. D. Go in for outside activities. 2. What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?
A. Pay attention to its profit. B. Focus on kids’ health.
C. Be responsible for kids’ surroundings. D. Persuade kids lo play more games. 3. What role do parents have according to the passage?
A. They keep hold of their phones. B. They set examples for their kids. C. They limit their kids’ time. D. They blame kids for addiction.
B
When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.
Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and histeam modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.
The results are in the Transportation Research Record.
As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers orcarbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in
transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways —those agencies are where the rubber meets the road. 4. Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1? A. To present a fact. B. To make a contrast. C. To explain a rule. D. To share an experience. 5. What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions? A. Hardening the road. B. Keeping oil in the ground.
C. Growing trees for decades. D. Improving the transportation. 6. What is the advantage of this suggestion?
A. Gaining more support. B. Consuming less money. C. Involving more people. D. Facing fewer usual obstacles. 7. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph? A.Those agencies are likely to make more rules. B. Those agencies will change some related policies. C. Those agenciesmight put more rubber tires on the roads. D. Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.
C
As a rider, Anna Kiesenhofe’s Olympics victory might be a surprise. The winner of the road race at the Tokyo Olympics left the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract (合同). She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.
The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon (铁人三项). She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.
The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season. However, she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018, eventually taking a year off the bike. In 2019, Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider, winning the Austrian national road race. Despite her results, Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.
Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race, eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer, Omer Shapira, Vera Looser and Anna Plichta, which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes. After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped, Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.
After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton (主车群), the rest of the riders seemed to believe that
they were racing among themselves for Gold, not knowing that Remehofere was still in front. While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes, other riders’ mistakes should not detract from the Austrian’s efforts.
Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University. She currently works at the University of Lausanne. 8. Why did Anna give up triathlon?
A. She got injured. B. She lost interest in it.
C. She had to attend university. D. She never won a medal. 9. Which is the right order of the following events? ①She ended her campaign. ②She took a year off the bike. ③She began her cycling career.
④She won the Austrian national road race. ⑤She won the Spanish National Cup.
A. ③④①②⑤. B. ②③④①⑤. C. ③⑤①②④. D. ④②③①⑤.
10. What were the riders of the peloton unaware of at the Tokyo Olympics? A. The road race was so difficult. B. Anna was a new rider. C. They had caught up with Anna. D. Anna took the lead of them. 11. What is Anna’s present job?
A. A cycling coach. B. A university teacher. C A professional rider. D. A college student.
D
Bill Gates on how to fight future pandemics
WHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will probably take up only the first third or so.The bulk of the story will be what happens next.
I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated(接种疫苗).Until then, life will not return to normal.
As the pandemic slows in developed nations,itwill accelerate in developing ones.Their experience,however,will be worse.In poorer countries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing
measures won't work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems won't be able to care for the infected.
Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective medical solution for this virus,which means a vaccine.
My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If that's the case,it will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a new disease to immunizing(免疫)against it.
Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.
The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which they'll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.
All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预)early when the number of cases is still very low.
Our progress won't be in science alone.It will also be in our ability to make sure everyone benefits from that science.In the years after 2021,I think we'll learn from the years after 1945. With the end of the Second World War, leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19, leaders will prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.
These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.I expect they will participate in regular\"germ games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games.These will keep us ready for the next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.
I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations,especially by devoting more foreign aid to building up their primary health-care systems.This pandemic has shown us that viruses don't obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs,whether we like it or not.
The best analogy(类比)for today might be November 10th 1942.Britainhad just won its first land victory of the war,and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.But it is,perhaps,the end of the beginning.”
12. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic? ①manufacturing a vaccine fast
②diagnosing a virus at home ③developing antiviral drugs ④allowing us to intervene early A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
13. As far as poorer countries areconcerned,which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A. pandemic disease is more likely to begin in poorer countries B. Working from home can work well in poorer countries.
C. Health systems are sufficient to care for the infected in poorer countries. D. Virus will cross borders if poorer countries fail to contain it. 14. Why is the Second World War mentioned in Para.8?
A. The fight against the COVID-19 is similar to the Second World War. B. People are suffering just as they were in the Second World War. C. We should cooperate globally just as we did after the Second World War. D. Countries are fighting each other like in the Second World War. 15. What is the tone of this passage? A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. neutral D. indifferent
