2．Two men walk to the edge of the sea.They drop their heavy loads on the sand.They forget how hot and tired they are and run into the sea.They play in the water.
These tired men are happy because one of them has just become the first person to walk from the start of the Amazon River to the ocean.His name is Ed Stafford.The other man's name is Cho Sanchez.Cho has been with Ed for the final two years of the walk.He helped Ed to find a way through the dense forests of three South American countries：Peru，Columbia and Brazil.
The Amazon is about 6，500 kilometres long.Ed's walk started in April 2008 at the beginning of the river-high in the mountains of Peru.It ended two and a half years later in August 2010 in Brazil where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Along the way Ed Stafford faced cold snow and high mountain paths.But most of the walk was through hot，wet forests.They faced many dangers from wild animals.But the big danger for ED and Cho came from people.Most of the people they met on their long walk were friendly.They gave Ed and Cho food and shelter.But some people were afraid of Ed because he has a white skin.They had heard stories that white people would eat their babies or steal their heads and other parts of their bodies.
Ed understood the people's fear.He says， "They only wanted to protect their land and the way they live.When they know there is no danger they are very kind."
On his walk Ed saw that many trees had been cut down.This made him very sad.Too many trees are being destroyed，and this is changing the climate of the world.

3．During the outbreak of novel coronavirus，cities are locked down and borders are closed．Science，on the contrary，is becoming more open．And this "open science" is already making a difference．
Soon after the epidemic （流行?。?started in China，a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced （測(cè)定序列） the DNA of the virus．But they didn't keep the information to themselves．Instead，they placed the sequences on GenBank，an open-access data platform，so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus．
Due to this openness，companies producing drugs across the globe are now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine （疫苗）． "There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups，" Amesh Adalja，a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US，told Al Jazeera． "The bigger menu we have of vaccines，the more flexible we'll be when fighting against coronavirus outbreaks in the future．"
Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results．Remdesivir，a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola，is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus．Currently，two trials of the drug are already underway in China，and the results might be available as soon as April，according to The Verge．
This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future． "With climate change，increasing globalization，and population shifts，epidemics will not go away，and might even become more frequent，" Dan Barouch，a Harvard Medical School professor，told Harvard Magazine．
He said， "No one group can do everything．It has to be a cooperative approach．But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge，drugs，and treatment very rapidly．"
Every epidemic is indeed a crisis，but it can also be a learning opportunity．One redeeming（補(bǔ)償?shù)模?factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better．
（1）What does the article mainly talk about？
A．Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic in Africa．
B．Some scientific knowledge we've learned from the epidemic．
C．The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge．
D．What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics．
（2）The positive effect of what the research team from Fudan University did is that．
A．they alerted the world to the danger of the virus
B．they helped remove people's fear of the virus
C．they showed the world how to produce a vaccine
D．they invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine
（3）What is the author's purpose of mentioning remdesivir in paragraph 4？
A．To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic．
B．To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus．
C．To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries．
D．To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained．
（4）Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with？
A．Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to climate change．
B．The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics．
C．No single group can fight against the epidemics independently．
D．The increase in globalization may bring about more epidemics．組卷：16引用：2難度：0.5

Peter woke up early in the morning.He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
"Why are you in such a hurry，early bird？" Mum asked him. "We will have an English spelling test today，Mum，" Peter said. "Mr.White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores.I've been studying the word list since last week.Although the words are difficult，I am well prepared for them."
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school.At last，it was time for the students to have a test. "Responsibility，" Mr.White started.Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
"The second word：contribution，" Mr.White said.
"So easy，" Peter thought .He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later，the test papers were collected by Mr.White. "I am to mark your papers now，" he told the class.After marking the test papers，Mr.White said， "three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores.Peter，David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!"
Mr.White praised them.Meanwhile，he gave the three students each a dictionary.Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best.Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment，" Peter thought.
After Mr.White gave the test paper back，Peter had a look at the words，feeling proud of his spelling.All of a sudden，the word "contribution" confused him.It didn't seem right.Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. "C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，" he whispered.He had spelled it wrong.
"What am I to do？" Peter said to himself. "I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling.If I tell Mr.White one of my spelling words is wrong I'll have to give my prize back，or I will become an example for telling a lie".
Staring at the red sign"100%" which was written at his test paper，Peter was lost in thought.After a while，he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him， "We ought to be an honest person."
Paragraph 1：
Slowly，Peter raised his hand._____
Paragraph 2：
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him._____組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
