21、 Nurses play a vital role on the front lines of the novel coronavirus(冠状病毒）pandemic. But a shortage of these essential health care workers could pose challenges in countries dealing with a growing number of COVID-19 cases.
"One of the lessons I hope the world learns from COVID-19 is that we must invest in nurses ," said World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during a speech Tuesday in celebration of World Health Day.
WHO's new "State of the World's Nursing 2020" report has identified a global shortage of 5.9 million nurses. Many of those gaps are found in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America.
Among regions of the world, the Americas have the highest density of nurses at 83.4 per 10,000 people, followed by Europe with 79.3 nurses per 10,000 people. In contrast, there are 8.7 nurses per 10,000 people in Africa, 15.6 nurses per 10,000 people in the Eastern Mediterranean region, 16.5 nurses per 10,000 people in Southeast Asia, and 36 nurses per 10,000 people in the Western Pacific.
But there are also differences within regions. In the Americas, for example, countries such as Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the US have a higher density of nurses at close to or over 100 per 10,000 people, distorting the regional average. Many of the neighboring countries in the region have less than 50 nurses per 10,000 people. In Haiti, there are only 3.8 nurses per 10,000 people.
When based on country income, data in the report shows an unsurprising trend: The higher the income, the higher the nursing density. In low-income countries, the average density of nurses is 9.1 per 10,000 people, while the figure for high-income countries is 107.7 per 10,000 people.
But training more nurses won't solve the problem, said Dr. Giorgio Cometto, WHO coordinator on human resources for health policies and standards.
"If the country lacks the economic capacity to employ them or to create economic opportunities for them to work as nurses ... training more nurses can just go into the direction of making labor market imbalances, resulting in unemployment among nurses. And that's a huge wastage of human capital as well as financial resources," Cometto said.
The key is balancing training with the creation of employment opportunities in rural areas where there are known health worker shortages.
That may be easier said than done, especially among countries that are suffering from chronic or complex emergencies, in active conflict, or struggling in the wake of conflict. But in these settings, the international aid community can arrange its assistance with national priorities and covering recurrent costs, such as salaries, within a specified period of time, Cometto said.
【1】How many nurses are needed according to WHO's new" State of the World 's Nursing 2020" report?
A.6 million. B.8.7Million.
C.3.8 Million. D.5.9Million.
【2】From the figures in the passage , where are nurses most needed?
A.Africa. B.Haiti.
C.Eastern Mediterranean region. D.Southeast Asia.
【3】Based on the country income what does the data in the report show?
A.The higher the income ,the more nurses are.
B.The higher the income,the more doctors are.
C.The lower the income ,the more doctors are.
D.The lower the income, the more nurses are.
【4】From what Cometto said, we know that___.
A.It is easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.
B.It is not easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.
C.Training more nurses is a way to solve the problem.
D.The international aid community can arrange its assistance all the time.
22、Dear Strangers,
I remember you. Ten months ago, when my cellphone rang, you were walking into Whole Foods to do your grocery shopping. My brother was on the other end of the line, telling me my father’s death.
After I hung up, I started to cry as my whole body trembled（发抖）. Overwhelmed with emotions, I fell to the floor, my knees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have kept on walking, ignoring my cries. Instead, you came over and comforted me.
One of you asked for my phone and who you should call. I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband, leaving an urgent message. I could hear you discuss who would drive me home. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t seem to matter.
I told you that I had a friend, Pam, who worked at Whole Foods and one of you went in search of her. I remember the relief I felt at seeing her face, familiar and warm. She took me to the back and brought comfort to me until my husband could get to me. One of you sent back a gift card to Whole Foods, which helped to feed（喂养）my family, when the idea of cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach, which lasted for days.
I’ve never seen you since then. Without you, I might have simply gotten in the car and tried to drive myself home. Terrible things would have happened. Your kindness to help a stranger in need has stayed with me until now. And no matter how many times my mind takes me back to that horrible life-changing moment, it’s not all darkness. You may not remember me. But I’ll never forget you.
Yours,
Deborah

24、In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call joy and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did love the water. Any kind of boat ride seemed to give him pleasure. And he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being in the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong swimmer, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my fears. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and spending those summer days with my father, who would come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the only person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go inside his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me play with anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his office things. But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get myself an ice cream.
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is memory.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that decides our memories, but who, in that childhood, looks at us.
【1】What was probably the author’s father?
A．A poet.
B．A professor.

D．she wanted others to know how much her father loved her

A．The author loved her father deeply.
B．The author’s father was quite fond of fishing.
C．The author didn’t start to swim very young.

25、Imagine sitting inside a windowless train that's shooting through a tube at twice the speed of an airplane. Your train has no wheels, produces no _________ , makes its own electricity, and isn't affected by bad weather. This is the hyperloop, a new vision for the world's _________ , safest, and greenest form of transportation. Many have _________ this new technology, but others say the hyperloop vision is just a bunch of hot air.
Hyperloop developers plan to use the properties of magnets to float, stabilize, and drive the capsules or pods for hundreds of miles through _________ tubes. Without air or ground to slow down the vehicles, what was once a five-hour journey would become a half-hour excursion, engineers promise.
Supporters of the technology promote additional _________ of transporting passengers and cargo by hyperloop. For example, they firmly state that unlike other city-to-city transport that's _________ , such as planes or trains, hyperloop vehicles would leave as needed, like Ubers and taxis. While the _________ would hold only 28 to 50 passengers each, developers plan for them to depart stations in groups every minute or so which they say could amount to shuttling 50,000 people an hour. That's more than twice the passenger _________ of the world's fastest trains.
Developers also say that hyperloop tubes would be _________ so they wouldn't interfere with other traffic or threaten wildlife. And tubes would be covered with solar panels to power the hyperloop's systems. ____________ , advocates regard the hyperloop as the transportation choice for the future.
But not everyone is on board. Engineers have calculated that the high-speed vehicles will need to make much wider turns than currently envisioned, and otherwise they won't be ____________ for passengers. This would add several miles to the proposed tube tracks, Engineers also say planners haven't included enough time for vehicles to safely brake and take off at stations. Some engineers believe it will take much longer than claimed to pump the ____________ out of the tubes before each vehicle's departure. Critics thus say hyperloops can't go as fast or serve as many passengers per hour as advertised, making them ____________ existing high-speed transportation options.
Hyperloop companies say they're ____________ these concerns. They claim that they can safely maintain high speeds by having the vehicles bank around the turns as a plane does. And their hyperloops will rely on the split-second reaction times of a computer to ____________ vehicles quickly, frequently, and safely.
