24、 In the 1970s, chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis developed the Gaia hypothesis(盖亚假说): all organic and inorganic components on the planet are part of one self-regulating system, working to maintain life on earth. Scientists agree that we need take significant action to control emissions(排放). But where scientists and popular movements have thus far failed to convince the world to act, it seems that Mother Earth may have succeeded, with the never-before-seen COVID-19.
COVID-19 is estimated to have reduced carbon dioxide emission in China by a quarter. It caused factories to shut down, and slowed construction activities. Recent analysis shows a 70 percent drop in flights in February compared with January. And even getting into a car and going to a restaurant, shopping mall, or concert poses a risk of infection, which means that many people are choosing to stay at home and are consuming less, resulting in a significant reduction of their carbon footprints.
Of course, China and the rest of the world will hope to restart normal production and consumption as soon as the virus is under control. However, some positive measures have already been taken as a result of COVID-19. As the virus is thought to originate from wildlife, Chinese authorities are revising laws and regulations regarding the country's massive wildlife trade in order to prevent future epidemics(流行病)—a win for biodiversity.
The deaths of thousands of people worldwide should also serve as a lasting reminder of the fragility of life. We humans frequently ignore or repress uncomfortable thoughts of death and extinction. We would rather get on with our lives as usual, thinking everything will somehow work out in the end. Only in the face of suffering and death are we forced to view the bigger, longer-term perspective—and this is what is needed in order to react appropriately to climate change. COVID-19 has sent alarm bells ringing throughout the world.

A.To tell the main idea of the text.
B.To introduce the topic for discussion.
C.To show the need to protect the planet.
D.To stress the importance of self-regulating system.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The unexpected benefit of COVID-19.
B.The economic influence of COVID-19.
C.The preventive measures for COVID-19.
D.The possible causes of COVID-19.
【3】What does the underlined word "repress" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Control. B.Hold.
C.Vary. D.Test.
【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the text?
A.It's urgent to fight the virus.
B.The virus has caused many deaths.
C.Life is fragile in face of disasters.

26、Directions: Write the summary of the passage in no more than 140 words and the original sentences in the passage are not allowed to use.
Every year, millions of people want to lose weight or get into shape but lack the time or motivation to go to a fitness club or to do an exercise programme at home on a regular basis. Many of these same people have probably considered hiring a personal trainer, a fitness professional who guides clients through individualized workouts. Most personal trainers work in fitness clubs, but some conduct business in their own private studios, or in the homes of their clients. The job of a personal trainer is to teach safe and effective exercise techniques that are designed for the specific needs and limitations of the client. A trainer can be hired for short-term or long-term periods, depending on the client’s needs.
Mark Jenkins is a personal trainer who has become famous for his work. In recent years, more people than ever have developed a fitness passion. In the United States, there is an ever-growing demand for fitness products and services, which is caused by a number of factors. For a start, there is an increasing population of people over age fifty-five who want to stay fit. In addition, the growing obesity problem among adults and children alike — a problem Jenkins can identify with — needs to be addressed. As a child, Jenkins was so overweight that other children tagged him with the nickname, “Suck in the Gut”.
Finally, there is an acceptance among Americans that spending money on fitness is not only good but also a virtue. The demand for all things related to fitness has created a great demand for personal trainers, which is expected to increase 27 percent in the United States by the year 2016, according to the US Bureau of Labour and Statistics.
Becoming a personal trainer requires taking extensive courses. It can take anywhere from six months to two years to become a certified trainer, depending on the programme.
