8、ocal area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher t

9、elephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer.

10、e teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, sinc

11、e that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions

12、 about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters,

CBill Gates on how to fight future pandemicsWHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what weve lived throug

16、h 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,

17、it will accelerate in developing ones. Their experience, however, will be worse. In poorer countries, where fewer jobs can be done remotely, distancing measures wont work as well. The virus will spread quickly, and health systems wont be able to care for the infected.Wealthy nations can help. But pe

18、ople 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 thats the case, I t will be a history-making achievement:

19、 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 probabl

20、y 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 havent been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria. But that Researchers wil

21、l develop large diverse libraries of antivirals, which theyll be able to scan through 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 wont

22、 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 well 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 cov

23、id-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 regulargerm games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games. These will keep us ready for the next time a novel vir

24、us 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 dont obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically b

25、y a network of microscopic germs, whether we like it or not.The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britain had 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,

26、the end of the beginning.”8. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic?manufacturing a vaccine fast diagnosing a virus at homedeveloping antiviral drugs allowing us to intervene earlyA. B. C. D. 9. As far as poorer countries are concerned, which of the following is T

We should cooperate globally just as we did after the Second World War.D. Countries are fighting each other like in t

29、he Second World War.11. What is the tone of this passage?A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. neutralD. indifferentDA city in South Korea, which has the worlds largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up a

30、nd drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run

32、 from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon.
