B
What
is
a
hero?
We
may
think
of
the
fictional
characters
with
supernatural
powers
or great people who can influence world
events. Now, as the nation continues its
all-out efforts
to fight
against the novel coronavirus
pneumonia(COVID-19), medical
staff have become heroes in the eyes of
the public.
As of Feb
19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei
province have been
working to treat
patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang
Dingyu,
the
president
of
Wuhan
Jinyintan
Hospital,
is
one
of
these
heroes.
Since the hospital received the first
seven patients in December, Zhang has been so
busy
that
he
barely
gets
any
sleep.
Even
suffering
from
amyotrophic
lateral
sclerosis
(
肌萎缩侧索硬化
), the
56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken
his pace to
save precious time for
infected patients. “I have to run, racing against
time to
save more patients from the
deadly disease, because I
don’t have
much time left in
my life,” Zhang told
Xinhua News Agency.
With
the duty of saving lives, many medical
professionals like Zhang have been
working long hours for days, despite
their fear and worries.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s
Hos
pital also works at a temporary
mobile
hospital. She does not let her
parents know that she is now working with novel
coronavirus-infected patients.
When
her
parents
ask
for
a
video
chat,
Lu
says
she
is
working
and
lets
her
husband
and children chat with them instead.
“It’s
dangerous
but
we
should
win
the
battle
with
the
virus
as
soon
as
possible,
so
that medical staff and patients can go back home,”
she told China Daily.
US
writer Khalil Gibran (1883-
1931) once
wrote, “Tenderness and kindness
are
not
signs
of
weakness
and
despair,
but
the
manifestations
of
strength
and
resolution.” It’s true for the medical
workers.
Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to
deadly diseases. But for medical
staff,
saving lives comes first and is enough for them to
be brave and stay on the
front. They
may look like ordinary people in daily life, but
in these extraordinary
times, they are
heroes.
4.
What
is the author’s main purpose in writing this
article?
A. To
explain what makes a modern-day hero.
B. To praise medical staff for their efforts to
fight the NCP.
C. To describe what
measures China has taken to deal with the virus.
D. To show the difficulties faced by
medical staff treating NCP patients.
5.
What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s
word
s?
A. His illness has
turned him into an impatient man.
B.
His illness makes him work without fear.
C. He feels sorry for himself because
of his illness.
D. He wants to help as
many patients as possible.
6.
Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her
parents’ video
calls?
A. She
is too busy and has no time for video chats.
B. She doesn’t want her parents to
worry about her.
C. It’s not
allowed to make a video call from the
hospital.
D. There is no
WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
7. The underlined word
“manifestations” in the
second
-to-last paragraph probably
means “_______”.
A.
results
B.
differences
C.
indications
D.
advantages
C
Researchers
have recorded penguins making sounds underwater
for the first time
—
the
first time such
behavior has been
identified in seabirds. These animals, like
other seabirds, are highly vocal on
land. They are known to communicate when their
heads
are
above
the
water
in
the
ocean,
possibly
for
the
purposes
of
group
formation.
However, until
the latest study
—
published
in the journal
Zoological
Science
—
it
was
not
known
whether
penguins
made
sounds
underwater,
like
some
other
air-breathing marine predators, such as
whales and dolphins. For their research, a
team
of
scientists
led
by
Andréa
from
Nelson
Man
dela
University
in
South
Africa,
wanted
to investigate this
issue. To do so, they fitted adult penguins from
three species
with video cameras
featuring built-in microphones.
To the
surprise of Andréa and her colleagues, the team
recorded a total of 203
underwater
vocalizations from the penguins in the underwater
footage they captured
over
a
month-long
period
in
2019.
These
are
the
first
recordings
of
seabirds
producing
vocalizations
underwater.
“I
couldn’t
believe
it.
I
had
to
replay
it
many
times,”
Andréa
said.
The
vocalizations
that
the
team
recorded
—
which
sound
like
rapid
whoops
—
were
very
short
in
duration,
lasting
about
0.06
seconds
on
average.
And
all
of
these
sounds
were
emitted
（发出）
during
dives
in
which
the
animals
were
searching
for
food.
Currently,
it is not clear why the penguins are
making these sounds; however, they only produce
them
while
hunting.
In
fact,
more
than
50
percent
of
the
vocalizations
were
immediately
preceded by an
acceleration movement or followed by an attempt to
hunt.
According
to
the
researchers,
this
suggests
that
the
sounds
are
related
to
hunting
behavior
—
especially because the
penguins tend to be alone when they make them,
indicating that communication was not
the purpose. The researchers guess that the
penguins may be using the vocalizations
to stun(
使昏迷
) their prey.
However, much
more research
is required
to
determine why
the
penguins
make these
sounds, the
scientists note.
8
. How does Andréa’s team
conduct the study about penguins?
A. By recording penguins’ sounds on
la
nd
.
B. By
fixing electronic devices on the penguins.
C. By observing penguins’ activities
underwater.
D. By catching
different kinds of adult penguins.
9
. What can we infer from
Andréa’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Penguins’ sounds are too low to
hear.
B. She doubts if
penguins could make sounds.
C.
Penguins seldom make sounds underwater.
D. It’s not easy to obtain
penguins’ sounds underwater.
10. When do penguins probably produce
sounds underwater?
A. When they take
a deep breath.
B. When they dive to
hunt for food.
C. When they
teach their babies diving.
D. When they
communicate with their partners.
11
. What is the scientists’
attitude towards the research results?
A. Cautious.
B.
Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
D
“If I only had
a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media
giant Ted Turner
supposedly said
sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle
said: “All men by
nature
desire to know.” Intellectual
humility
(
理智的谦虚
)
is a
particular instance
of
humility, since you can be down-to-earth about
most things but still ignore your
mental limitations.
Intellectual
humility
means
recognizing
that
we
don’t
know
everything.
Actually,
it means we should
acknowledge that we're probably
biased(
有偏见的
) in our belief
about just how much we understand and
seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.
The
Internet
and
digital
media
have
created
the
impression
of
limitless
knowledge
at
our
fingertips.
But,
by
making
us
lazy,
they
have
opened
up
a
space
that
ignorance
can fill. The
psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of
California explained
how technology
enhances our illusions (
错觉
)
of wisdom. She argues that the way we
access information is critical to our
understanding
—
and the more
easily we can
recall
an
image,
word
or
statemen
t,
the
more
likely
we’ll
think
we’ve
successfully
learned it, and
so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing.
Logical puzzles
presented in
challenging words, for example, can encourage
someone to make extra
effort to solve
them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice
designs of the apps
and sites that
populate our screens, where our brain processes
information in a
“smooth” way. What
about all the information that presents online?
Well, your
capacity to learn from it depends on
your attitudes. Intellectually humble people
don’t
hide
or
ignore
their
weaknesses.
In
fact,
they
see
them
as
sources
of
personal
development, and use arguments as an
opportunity to refine their views. People who
are humble by nature tend to be more
open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes,
since they recognize that their own
opinions might not be valid.
At the
other end of the scale lies intellectual
arrogance(
自大
). Such
arrogance
almost
always
originates
from
the
self-centered
bias
–
the
tendency
to
overestimate
their
own
virtue
or
importance,
ignoring
the
role
of
chance
or
the
influence
of
other
people’s actions on
their lives. This is what makes these people
credit success to
themselves
and
failure
to
circumstance.
From
an
evolutionary
perspective,
intellectual
arrogance
can
also
be
seen
as
a
way
of
achieving
dominance
(
优势
)
through
forcing one’s view
on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly
invest mental
resources in discussion
or working towards group consensus, thus making it
hard for
groups to work successfully.
The
Thrive
Center
for
Human
Development
in
California,
which
seeks
to
help
young
people
turn
into successful
adults,
is funding
a series
of
major
studies
about
intellectual
humility.
Their
theory
is
that
humility,
curiosity
and
openness
are
key
to a
fulfi
lling life. “Without humility, you
are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock,
Google’s Head of People Operations,
notes.
12. The passage is
mainly about ______.
A. the harm
arrogance does to us
B. the key
elements to a fulfilling life
C. the
significance of intellectual humility
D. the way people access information
online
13. Technology enhances our
illusions of wisdom because it ______.
A. enables people to think critically
B. offers too much unreliable
information
C. allows easy access to
abundant information
D. makes it hard
for people to recall information
14.
According to Para. 3, intellectually humble people
______.
