Here are three famous historical figures who let their creativity flow during past pandemics. Giovanni Boccacc

11、io (1313-1375)When a plague (瘟疫) hit Florence in 1348, Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio lost his father and stepmother. In order to survive, he left the city and hid in the countryside. Inspired by the experience, Boccaccio wrote The Decameron (十日谈), a collection of short novels framed as stories t

12、old by a group of friends, while he was quarantined (隔离) inside a house during the plague. William Shakespeare (1564-1616)In the early 17th century, a plague hit London, UK. When the number of deaths grew, the government postponed many celebrations and closed all the theaters. This meant that the en

13、tertainment industry at the time was paralyzed (瘫痪) for much of 1606. As an actor and dramatist, Shakespeare had to stop working in the playhouse. But he didnt waste a second of his time off. Instead, he used the time productively and wrote some of his most famous plays. Before the year was over, Sh

14、akespeare completed three playsKing Lear, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra. Isaac Newton (1642-1727)In 1665, when English mathematician Isaac Newton was in his early 20s, one of the last major outbreaks of the plague hit the UK, and many classes were canceled. Newton, as a student, went back home to

15、 continue his studies.He devoted himself to his studies. The young mathematician produced some of his best works during his year in quarantine, writing the papers that would later become early calculus (微积分学), and developing his theories on physics in his bedroom. While working, an apple dropped fro

16、m the apple tree outside his window and hit him or the head, which may inspired his theory of gravity.21What did Boccaccio do during the plague?AHe left Italy and hid away BHe stayed indoors and read books.CHe finished the great work: The Decameron.

19、t but a few days later she got to know that a video of her at the coffee shop had been posted on a short video-sharing platform. The woman was furious as the man who had tried to chat her up had not told her he was making a video nor taken her permission before uploading the video. She left a commen

20、t under the video, asking for its removal, and even reported the matter to the platforms handlers. The account that posted the video was soon disabled.However, this case is far from alone. Websites dealing in short-videos are filled with accounts that post such videos showing “how to chat up women”.

21、 Their purpose is to post such videos for money.Taking a video of someone without their permission and uploading it violates（侵害） someones right to privacy, but such videos are being made and uploaded online with increasing frequency. It was only because the woman in this instance complained that the

22、 video of her was removed. What if her attention had not been drawn to the video? One just has to browse these sites to find many such videos.Obviously, there are loopholes in the supervision（监管漏洞）of some short-video platforms, as they are uploading contents that violate other peoples right to priva

23、cy.Women need to watch out if a stranger tries to chat them up.

27、.In the past, when farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, theyve used methods that arent always healthy for the environmentmore fields, fertilizers (化肥), and pesticides (杀虫剂).Minerals team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how t

28、hese problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies (小车)”.The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plants location, and measure the plants size. They can even do things humans cant, like counting all of the small buds on a plant.Before,

29、farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldnt track every plant. Now, with Minerals robots, they can. By collecting a lot of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow.Studying each individual plant

30、could save time and money. For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop.The detailed information will also allow farmers to fertilize and water the plants that truly need it, meaning fewer plants will be sp

31、oiled and more food will be produced.Currently, the Mineral team is working in countries around the world, Including Argentina, South Africa, and Canada, learning how computers and robots can help farmers produce more food in ways that are good for the environment.28How did farmers increase producti

34、 fish be depressed? This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish. His name was Bruce Lee.The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of. Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness was a sign of being upset?When I

35、sought answers from scientists, I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous. But they did not. New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知)，building a case that pet and owner are not nearly as different as many assume. The neurochemistry (

36、神经化学）is so similar that its scary, said Julian Pittman，a professor. We tend to think of them as simple living things, but there is a lot we dont give fish credit for.Dr. Pittman likes working with fish, in part, because they are so obvious about their depression. A zebrafish gets dropped in a new ta

37、nk. If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half, its depressed. If its swimming up top, then its not.Is depression the right word? Theres the obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel, says Dr. Diego APizzagali . Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depressi

38、on as we know it.There is a heated debate about whether anxious or depressed is a more appropriate term. But what has convinced Dr. Pittman, and others, over the past ten years is watching the way the zebrafish lose interest in just about everything: food, toys, exploration, just like clinically dep

39、ressed people who are withdrawn. The same is true of fish.One of the things were finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out, said Dr. Braithwaite. In other words, your goldfish is probably bored. To help get rid of depression, she urges introducing new objects to the tank o

41、in Paragraph 6 probably mean?AQuiet and shy. BHappy and excited.CInterested and careful. DDisappointed and surprised.34Why can fish become bored according to the text?AThey need oxygen from the air. BThey are not born to be curious.CThey lack new things to explore. DThey cant locate the positions of

46、er,” says McGough. “ 39 With a lot of poetry, you re discovering the words as youve set off on with words.”Many people might be worried about feeling nervous. 40 Those who perform poetry well have learned to embrace them. “I still get nervous when I go on stage,” says McGough.“The more you perform,

47、the easier it gets.”AReading is usually done alone.BYou dont have to worry about forgetting the words.CIt gives you confidence and helps with your reading.DGet the sense of the poem as a whole, not just the words.EYou could read a poem to your neighbors or your friends.FYou are part of a book group
