22、As France enters a strict four-week lockdown in order to prevent a dangerous second wave of corona virus, its independent booksellers have requested the status of an essential service.
A statement announced by booksellers’ association wants bookshops to be listed together with supermarkets and drugstores as necessary to human well-being. Bookstores might not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about what’s needed in a dangerous situation, but they offer mental comfort that few other businesses can match. “Books satisfy our needs for understanding, reflection, sharing and communication, even in separation,” says the statement. They appeal to the French government to “leave our bookstores open, so that social separation is not also cultural isolation.”
Bookstores have already established rules of conduct that allow shopping to occur in a safe, germ-free manner. They want curbside pickup to be allowed to continue, which means placing a customer’s order to his car trunk without the buyer leaving his vehicle. The staff should wear a mask and stay at least six feet of distance while delivering goods.
We also reached out to the American Booksellers Association (ABA) to learn whether American booksellers also view themselves as a much-needed service. CEO Allison Hill admits that booksellers “in no way outweigh healthcare workers during the stay-at-home period,” but the role of bookstores and books should not be underestimated. Books are important to many people this year for various reasons, including homeschooling, education, emotional support, connection, and humanity. That is why “bookstores in the U.S. are given essential status during shutdowns so that they can continue offering curbside service.” Despite this, independent booksellers are struggling across the US, as they are in France. Hill said in a press release that one bookshop has closed per week since COVID-19 started and that 25% are in danger of closing by January.
【1】Why did the association announce the statement?
A.To run bookshops near markets.
B.To compete with US booksellers.
C.To keep bookstores running.
D.To stress the benefits of books.
【2】According to Paragraph 3, how will bookstores operate safely?
A.By offering less contact pickup.
B.By providing home delivery.
C.By giving away free masks.
D.By forcing buyers to leave the cars.
【3】What can we infer from Allison Hill’s words?
A.The great importance of books is overlooked.
B.American bookstores are considered necessary.
C.Booksellers are more important than doctors.
D.A quarter of bookstores have closed by January.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Books offer mental support in tough times.
B.Bookstores are at the risk of closing down.
C.Booksellers contribute a lot during the pandemic.
D.Bookstores should be an essential service.
23、 Humans are not the only animals that get drunk. Birds that eat a lot of fermented berries are known to fallout of trees and crash into windows. Elk that overdo it with rotting apples get stuck in trees. Moose wasted on overripe crabapples get twisted into swing sets, hammocks and even Christmas lights.
Elephants, though, are the animal kingdom’s most well-known boozers. One scientific paper describes elephant trainers rewarding the animals with beer and other alcoholic beverages, with one elephant in the 18th century said to have drunk 30 bottles of port wine a day. In 1974, a herd of 150 elephants in India, became extremely excited after breaking into a brewery, then went on a wild behavior that destroyed buildings and killed five people.
In fact, elephants are likely exceptional lightweights because they lack a key enzyme that quickly breaks down ethanol (乙醇).
Humans, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas have an unusually high tolerance for alcohol because of a shared genetic mutation (突变) that allows them to breakdown ethanol 40 times faster than other primates. The mutation occurred around 10 million years ago. It happened at the same time with an ancestral shift from living in trees to living on lands and, most likely, a diet richer in fallen, fermenting fruit on the forest floor.
But most other mammals did not possess the mutation, and in some species, including elephants, dogs and cows, the gene of breaking down alcohol had lost all function. “It was far more likely for some animals that eat the leafy part of plants or eat meat to lose the gene,” said Amanda Melin, a molecular ecologist at the University of Calgary.
Forest elephants today regularly seek and eat fruit, but their ancestors became grass eaters around 8 million years ago. Evidence indicates they then switched to a mixed diet around 1 million years ago.
【1】What happened when a moose got drunk?
A.It got trapped in a swing set. B.It fell out of windows.
C.It got a shock from Christmas lights. D.It knocked into trees.
【2】What do we know about elephants from the text?
A.Their ancestors switched to eat grass around 10 million years ago.
B.Their representatives of India once caused a big disaster while drunk
C.They are lightweights as they have no organ to breakdown alcohol.
D.They prefer to be treated with plenty of port wine a day.
【3】Why do chimpanzees tolerate alcohol better than other primates?
A.Because of the eating habits. B.Because of the speed of digestion.
C.Because of the exchange of energy. D.Because of the mutation of gene.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Species share the same genetic mutation.
B.Food consumption in nature is quite huge.
C.Elephants really can’t hold their liquor.
D.Plants and meat affect the diets of mammals.
24、 Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.
The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials(临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.
Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.
Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial? Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks. Every vaccine has rare side effects in a few patients.
If you want to participate in a trial, you can try to sign up online by just clicking here, clinicaltrials gov. which lists every clinical trial in the US, including COVID-19 vaccine trials.
【1】Why kids under 16 can't get a COVID-19 vaccine?
A.Because the vaccine is too hard to get.
B.Because the vaccine is too expensive for them.
C.Because they are not at the risk of getting COVID-19.
D.Because the effectiveness of the vaccine for kids hasn't been tested .
【2】What does the underlined word "placebo" in paragraph 3 refer to ?
A.A substance to comfort patients
B.A pill to treat patients
C.A prize to award patients
D.A way to cure patients
【3】What's the purpose of this article?
A.To tell American adults they can get a COVID-19 vaccine.
B.To inform that American children can't get a COVID-19 vaccine.
C.To give information about clinical trials of vaccines in teens and kids.
D.To provide information for potential volunteers on trials.
【4】Where does this passage probably come from?
A.Newspapers.
B.Magazines.
C.Internet.
