“胖五”发射成功！中国航天迎来新突破。
The Long March 5 Y3 is China’s
strongest rocket. XINHUA
China’s biggest and most powerful
carrier (
运
载
)
rocket roared (
轰鸣
) into
space on Dec 27, 2019.
The Long March 5
kicked off its mission (
任务
)
at
the Wenchang Space Launch Center in
Hainan.
The
57-meter-
tall
rocket,
known
as
the
Long
March
5
Y3,
is
the
tallest,
strongest
and
most
technologically
sophisticated
(
技术复杂的
)
rocket
in China. Since it is
much bigger than China’s other
Long
March
rockets,
people
call
it
“Fat
5”.
The
rocket is able to carry spacecraft
(
航天器
) weighing up to 25 tons
–
roughly the weight of 16
midsize
cars
–
into low-Earth orbit (
近地轨道
),
China Daily reported. This payload capacity
(
有效载荷
) is
about
2.5 times greater than that of any other Chinese
rocket.
During the December launch,
the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20
experimental
satellite into orbit. At
more than 8 tons, it is the heaviest and most
advanced communications (
通
1
信
) satellite
built by China.
T
he launch
also tested key technologies that will be used to
take the Chang’e 5 probe
(
探测器
) to
the
moon, according to the China National Space
Administration.
The success of the Long
March 5 launch was
hard-
earned
. The rocket’s first launch was
carried
out in November 2016 at the
Wenchang center. A second mission took place in
July 2017 at the
same site, but failed
to send a satellite into orbit. According to
project leaders, in the two years since
that failure, the rocket’s research
team held more than 6
00 seminars
(
研讨会
) and carried out at
least 1,000 experiments and tests to
improve the rocket.
“Compared with the Long March 5 Y2 that
was used in the failed second mission, the new one
has
about
200
technical
improvements,
including
changes
to
the
engine
design,”
Li
Dong,
the
rocket’s chief designer
(
总设计师
), said to China Daily.
The
future missions of the Long March 5 will include a
trip to Mars, taking back moon samples
(
样本
), and placing
parts of a manned (
载人的
)
space station into orbit.
1. What do we know about the Long March
5?
A. It was launched at the
start of 2019.
B. It was
launched in Xichang.

70
周年：历经风雨，创造奇迹。
A big parade is held to mark
the birthday of the PRC. XINHUA

The year 2019
marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of the
People’s Republic of China
(PRC).
Over
the
past
70
years,
under
the
leadership of the
Communist Party of China
(CPC),
China
has
experienced
historic
changes and made great
achievements.
The
nation
has
experienced
great
economic (
经济的
)
growth in the past seven
decades
(
十年
).
In
1978,
China’s
GDP
was
the
11th
highest
in
the
world.
In
2010,
China
overtook Japan to
become the second-largest economy in the world
after the US. The country is still
in
that position now.
With China’s entry into the World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 2001, the country has become
a major power for world economic
growth. Since 2002, it has helped the world
economy grow by
nearly 30 percent on
average (
平均
). The entry into
the WTO also allowed less expensive foreign
foods, such as American grapes and
Japanese veal (
小牛肉
), to be
sold in Chinese supermarkets. At
the
same time, many foreign electronics
factories have moved to China, making
these products
cheaper. Today China is
the world’s largest exporter
(
出口国
) and the second-largest
importer (
进
口国
),
according to China Daily.
In
fighting
poverty
(
贫穷
)
in
recent
decades,
China
has
made
historic
achievements
and
become a major contributor
(
贡献者
) to the improvement of
people’s lives around the world. To
reduce (
减少
)
poverty, the Chinese government has done a lot of
work. It built roads, created jobs,
and
gave people better education and medical services.
The country has promised to eradicate
(
根
除
) extreme
(
极端
) poverty by 2020, and to
date, more than 800 million Chinese have been
lifted
out of poverty, China Daily
noted.
As
for education, many Chinese are going abroad to
study and do research. Over 600,000
Chinese
went
abroad
to
study
in
2018,
according
to
China
Daily.
China
has
also
set
up
536
Confucius Institutes
(
孔子学院
) in more than 150
countries. Many foreign students are learning
Chinese language and culture
there.

）人物传记——冲在抗役第一线，风趣直率的医生张文宏
“Feel bored staying at home? So does
the virus. If you stay longer, the virus will be
bored to
death.”
This
is
how
Zhang
Wenhong
asked
people
to
stay
indoors
during
the
outbreak.
Zhang
is
head
of
the
infectious
diseases
department
(
感染科
)
at
Huashan
Hospital Affiliated
with
Fudan University in Shanghai. He also works as
head of
the
Shanghai
expert
team
that
treats
novel
coronavirus
pneumonia
（新冠肺炎）
.
These
days,
Zhang
has
become
an
internet
celebrity
(
网红
)
due
to
his
funny
and
frank
way
of
talking.
He
first
caught
people’s
attention
in
late
January,
when
he
asked
the
members
of
the
Communist Party of China
(
共产党员
) in his department to
go to the frontline hospitals. His reason
was simple: They have “vowed
(
宣誓
) to put people’s
interests first.” His straightforward way of
speaking quickly won applause across
the country. Meanwhile, as a Party member himself,
Zhang
set an example by checking on
pneumonia patients every day. “I do it in person
because I need to
4
encourage other colleagues
(
同事
),” he told the
media.
Zhang believes in the
traditional Chinese idea that “the best doctors
prevent the disease (
上
医
治未病
)”. That’s
why he tries his best to spread scientific
knowledge on how to prevent the epidemic.
His sense of humor has made it easier
for the knowledge to reach the public. He and his
team also
update their WeChat account
every day with timely analyses of the epidemic to
drive away public
worries. One of his
articles got more than 10 million hits.
But
Zhang
might
not
care
about
his
sudden
fame.
When
asked
about
his
feelings
after
becoming famous, Zhang
told the media, “Don’t pay attention to me. Pay
attention to Wuhan. I’m
not a
celebrity. I’m a doctor.”
Zhang Wenhong’s
quotes
（引述）
go
viral online
“Everyone is a
soldier. You’re not just quarantining
(
隔离
) yourself at home, but
combating
(
战斗
)
the virus.”
“You are not a
doctor, but what you do is more important than
what doctors do.”
“When you
speak less, your thoughts spring
(
涌出
). Staying indoors will
bring you benefits.”

年上海垃圾分类初战告捷，其他城
市准备好了吗
If you live in
Shanghai, you might have taken a “lesson” in
sorting (
分类
) garbage, as the
city
introduced
new
garbage-sorting
regulations
(
规章
)
on July
1,
2019.
As
China’s
first
city
to
carry
out
strict
regulations
on
garbage
sorting and
recycling,
Shanghai
requires
its
residents
(
居民
)
to
sort
garbage
into
four
categories
(
类别
),
namely
recyclable, harmful,
dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their
garbage properly, they can be fined up
to 200 yuan.
Since the
regulation took effect, the amount of total daily
waste in Shanghai has been reduced
by
an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent
from the end of 2018, while the average daily
weight
of
recyclables
hits
4,500
tons,
five
times
higher
than
the
end
of
2018,
according
to
the
Shanghai
Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative
Bureau.
The city also
rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more
than 40,000 waste bins have been
updated
(
更新
). The
city’s
waste
collection
and
transportation
system
(
运输系统
)
is
complete,
according to the bureau.
“Proper waste sorting protects the
environment and saves natural resources,” said
Deng Jianping,
director of the bureau.
“Led by the central government, Shanghai is making
efforts to develop long-
term solutions
to garbage management.”
However, there have also been some
problems. Some people complained that it is
difficult to
deal with wet garbage, as
they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag
when dumping (
倾倒
).
According to the sorting rules, the wet
garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag
must go in
the dry waste
bin.
This separation is
necessary, as it ensures that the wet garbage will
decompose (
分解
) properly
and become useful organic
(
有机的
) waste, the bureau
said.
Plastic bags can affect
this process
. Some people in
Shanghai are instead using paper bags
that can
biodegrade
（生物降解）
or plastic
containers that can be washed and reused,
according to
Xinhua.

sort their garbage into the _____ categories.

）比病毒更可怕的是偏见。
Since the outbreak of novel
coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many people have been
living in
fear. This is normal, as the
disease is infectious (
传染性的
)
and dangerous. However, some people
turn pale at the mention of “people
from Wuhan or Hubei province”, the center of the
outbreak.
Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan
Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He
treated a
suspected
(
疑似的
) patient surnamed Chen
who traveled from Wuhan to Shanghai. Chen appeared
desperate (
绝望的
)
and avoided other patients, as he worried that
they would be afraid of him.
Chen is not
alone. Chen Xue, an editor working in Beijing,
went to Chongli in Hebei for a
ski trip
on Jan 23. Though her temperature was fine and she
hasn’t been to her hometown – Hubei
province – since October last year, the
hotel she was in told her that it wouldn’t receive
Hubei guests
from the next
day.
However, the
real enemy is the virus – not the patients or
people from Wuhan or Hubei province.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien
Loong echoed this idea in a speech at the Chinese
New Year
dinner. “Even though the virus
started in Wuhan, it doesn’t respect nationality
or race (
种族
). It does
not check your passport
(
护照
) before it goes into
your body. Anybody can be infected,” he
said.
7
It is not the patients’ fault that they
have been infected. There is no reason to blame
them. If
patients didn’t go to the
hospital for fear of discrimination, the virus
could spread to more people.
“Protecting them is just as important
as protecting ourselves,” Ding said.
1.
Why do some
people treat people from Wuhan or Hubei province
unfairly?
A. Because those
people look dangerous.
B.
Because they want to live a normal
life.
C. Because those
people carry the virus.
D.
Because they are afraid of getting
infected.
2.
2. Chen Xue was told to
_____.
A. get treatment in a
hospital
B. avoid meeting
other patients
C. check her
temperature three times
while skiing
D.
check out of the hotel she was in the
next day
3.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is
telling us that _____.
A. we
shouldn’t be afraid of NCP
B. it isn’t safe to stay in other
countries
C. the real enemy
is the virus
D. the virus
has affected many people
4.
What is the purpose of the story?
A. To call on people to stop discrimina
tion
（歧视）
.
B. To show how people’s lives are
affected by NCP.
C. To
encourage suspected patients to go to
hospitals.
D. To find out
who to blame for the NCP outbreak.
