21、How to go abroad and minimize your COVID-19 risk?
If you are desperate to go abroad, then what measures should you take?
“Vaccination (接种疫苗) is of great importance.【1】, I would take the view that you’re going to be pretty safe as long as you observe the usual, sensible rules,” says Anthony Costello at University College London.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agrees.【2】. Travelers are advised to stay at least 1.8 meters away from the people they aren’t traveling with, wash their hands often and monitor their health for signs of illness, too.
You should also take “low risk” with a pinch of salt (有所保留).【3】. That means you have to quarantine (隔离).at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days when you arrive in England. Meanwhile, Portugal remains in the CDC’s “avoid all travel” category.
【4】 The US mainly looks at the number of new cases in the past 28 days. Decisions for England are based on broader risk assessments from the Joint Biosecurity Centre, including vaccination rates and circulating variants.
“It is hard to tell which method is right, and it isn’t unusual for two countries to look at the same data and come to opposite conclusions,” says Jeffrey Lazarus at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health in Spain, “Germany closed the border to the UK in the same week when Spain opened it.【5】.”
A.They clearly don’t have the same assessment
B.If you, re double vaccinated and you’re going to a low-risk area
C.These kinds of contradictions happen because countries apply different criteria
D.You may likely find you are engaging in both lower- and higher-risk behaviors
E.For instance, Portugal was on England’s green list. but soon it was moved to the brown list
F.So the reality is that we won’t face any risk of getting COVID-19
G.It advises travelers to low-risk countries to get fully vaccinated, wear a mask, and avoid crowds

24、For his first few days at sea on the MS Porrima, Gunter Pauli was amazed by the silence aboard his solar-powered ship.
Using limited resources effectively is the central philosophy behind the Porrima, a concept boat centered on environmental research, which aims to show how sustainable(可持续的) technology could completely change the shipping industry.
Sea transport drives over 80% of global trade, but it has disastrous effects on the ocean and accounts for more CO2 emissions (排放) than air transport each year.
The ship is a case study in sustainability. A small farm in the boat allows Pauli to grow vegetables, while air bubble nets prevent overfishing by separating fish by weight and then releasing the reproductive females, which tend to be heavier due to their eggs. As well as being largely powered by solar panels, the ship will soon be equipped with a device that separates and concentrates nanoplastics(纳米塑料) from seawater and transforms them into fuel.
Pauli’s design is based on famous painter and theorist Michelangelo Pistoletto’s theory, which proposes a balanced combination of nature and technology. The 88-year-old Italian artist believes that the ship offers “the possibility” of making his concept a reality.
For Pauli, this sense of responsibility for the environment and communities was the driving force behind the project. “We have done too much analysis on environmental issues, and too much analysis on the problem often leads to inaction. I knew that whatever we’re doing is far from what is needed, and it’s also far from what is possible.”
The ship set sail from Osaka, Japan on December 18 in 2021, and is expected to make dozens of stops on five continents. It will complete a three-year voyage before returning to Japan in time for the 2025 World Expo.
【1】What is the major task of the Porrima?
A.Explore the nature of modern materials.
B.Put sustainable technology into practice.
C.Stress the importance of ocean protection.
D.Show the advantages of solar-powered ships.
【2】What can be inferred about environmental protection from Pauli’s words?
A.People lack awareness of it.
B.People have done nothing about it.
C.People should and can do more about it.
D.People should do more analysis about it.
【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Gunter Pauli: An Ambitious Boat Designer
B.MS Porrima: Technology to Preserve Nature
C.Sea Transport: A Sustainable Form of Transport
D.Technology: An Inspiration for Designing Ships
