Do you know about the coronavirus? How much do you know about the coronavirus
outbreak in Italy?
选自 new scientist
Italy has put the country’s 60 million people on lockdown in the most drastic action
taken outside China to tackle the spread of coronavirus（冠状病毒）. As of 10 March, the
country had diagnosed more than 9100 cases, second only to China. Prime Minister
Giuseppe Conte has said Italy may not stop at the current restrictions and could use further
“massive shock therapy”（大规模休克疗法）.
Travel restrictions just for northern Italy were first leaked on Saturday, causing panicked
reactions before an official decree was published on Sunday. The measure, unexpectedly
extended to the whole of Italy on Monday night, means people must limit travel except for
work or medical reasons, or risk a three month prison sentence or a €206 fine.
The travel ban is being enforced on roads by the Carabinieri (military police), while rail
services – including night trains from Paris to Venice – have been cancelled. However,
flight-tracking service Flightradar24 says that more than 250 flights departed from the five
airports for Milan and Venice on Monday, the area initially locked down on Sunday. British
Airways announced on Tuesday that it was cancelling all flights to and from Italy.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office has changed its travel advice, advising
against all but essential travel to Italy and telling anyone returning from the country to
self-isolate for 14 days even if they have no symptoms. UK nationals are still able to leave
Italy, it added.
The Italian authorities said the draconian measures are necessary to slow the spread of
the virus and relieve the burden on healthcare systems. A report in The Guardian said 733
people were in intensive care in the Lombardy region, one of the worst affected regions, but
it only has about 500 public health intensive care beds.
“We are encouraged that Italy is taking aggressive measures to contain its epidemic.
And we hope they prove effective in the coming days,” said World Health Organization
(WHO) director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during a press conference on Monday.

3. 典型易错题精讲
【例题 1】:. Besides we can’t deny that some bad guys mask themselves very well so that
they can get many nice people (30) _________ (trap).
【答案】trapped
【解析】分析知需要填非谓语形式，又结合句子含义，“一些坏蛋把自己伪装的很好，
以至于能使一些好人进入陷阱。”使被困，所以需动词的过去分词做定语。
【例题 2】: Perhaps the best way (35) _________ (learn) how to behave in the working world
is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.
【答案】to learn
【解析】根据 way 的用法：the way to do sth，所以需用不定式形式做定语。在英语中，
有些表示抽象概念的名词后面接不定式做定语，对其进行解释说明，类似用法的词有：ability,
ambition, anxiety, attempt, campaign, chance, courage, decision, determination 等。
【例题 3】:.They were fond of comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to
store, (39) _________ (check) prices before making a new purchase.
【答案】checking
【解析】分析可知此处需要非谓语形式，其逻辑主语为 they，与检查这个动作是主动关
系，另跟后一个 making 并列，所以需要 doing 的形式。
【例题 4】. It is essential for you to know why you are speaking and (25) _________ you
wish to accomplish by your speech.
【答案】what
【解析】分析空格后句子成份可知，and 前列了两个宾语从句，又发现空格后 wish 缺
宾语，从而用连接代词 what。
【例题 5】. It was they (33) _________ first tried to persuade Hilton to remain open all
night.
【答案】that
【解析】提醒学生在看到 It was 时首先反应是否考查强调句，根据句意本题考查强调主
语的用法，故空格内填 that。

Highly gifted children benefit from explanation as much as their peers
Schools tend to assume that highly gifted children can manage by themselves and that they
do not need any extra support. As a result, they sometimes seem (21) ________ (forget).
Psychologist Bart Vogelaar conducted a research and discovered that a high gift does not mean (22)
________ (perform) to the children’s maximum capacity. He finds out that this group too benefits
from training and explanation and that strangely enough, the benefits are the same (23) ________
both groups.
In his research, Vogelaa made use of dynamic tests（动态测试）, (24) ________ ________
children received training and their progress was measured afterwards to give a better image of
their learning capabilities. 522 children aged between five and ten years -- 173 highly gifted and
349 averagely gifted -- took part in (25) ________ was so-called learning potential test. The
children (26) ________ (assign) to solve analogical reasoning（类推）tasks. Three boxes were
filled with figures that changed from one box to the next according to a particular rule, for
example, in size or in position. The children had to use analogical reasoning to draw (27)
________ figure in the last box.
Afterwards, the children were given a training, (28) ________ (follow) by a further set of
tasks as a post-assessment. Vogelaar: “This kind of test gives a better insight into how well
children learn because we are able to measure (29) ________ ________ how much they progress
on a new task, but also how much and what kind of help they need to achieve this progress.”
The test showed that all groups of children made progress, from the starting to the
post-measurement, with major individual differences. “It confirms that talented (30) ________
many children are, they benefit from teachers’ help to a great extent, and that they don't always
show their full potential in tests.” Vogelaar concludes.
21. to be forgotten 22. performing 23. for 24. in which 25. what 26. were
assigned 27. the 28. followed 29. not only 30. as/though

Have you ever seen an old movie called Three Coins in the Fountain? It is about three
young American women (21) (search) for permanent romance in Rome and
they all find it. Far-fetched Hollywood? Well, from the world history point of view, romance
did, in fact, set down its roots in Rome.
The word romance evolved in Latin from Roma to Romanicus of the Roman language,
to the Old French romanz escrive, (22) means “to write in a Romance language,”
and on to the English romance.
The Romance languages (23) (compose) of seven groups of languages that all
have Latin (24) their basis. These languages include French, Italian, Spanish and
Portuguese. The common people in ancient Rome spoke (25) is referred to as
Vulgar Latin, an informal speech, as opposed to the classical Latin of the more educated.
Most language experts agree that Vulgar Latin is the chief source of the Romance languages.
Medieval Romances were tales (26) (write) primary in French verse about
brave heroes. The notion of having a romance with another person is thought (27)
(develop) sometime during the Middle Ages. In the late 8th century and on through the 19th, a
romance was not a love story (28) a work of prose fiction that contained
far-fetched, mysterious events. Romances of this period (29) (include) English
Gothic novels like The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.
What exactly is a twentieth-century romance? Does it have any relationship with the
lively, popular novels written today, with their fantastic plots of love affairs? Or did the
playwright Oscar Wilde have it right in The Picture of Dorian Gray:”When one is in love, one
always begins by deceiving (30) and one always ends by deceiving others. That
is what the world calls a romance.”
21.searching 22. which 23. are composed 24. as 25. what
26. written 27. to have developed 28. but 29. included 30. oneself/himself

Should Children Ban Their Parents from Social Media?
It might be taken for granted - but no previous generation of children will have had the
experience of having their entire childhoods intensively and publicly documented in this way.
But the very first people to have had some of their childhood pictures __21__ (post) online
are not always happy about their formative years being preserved in digital world.
Parents may not realize it, but by posting photos and videos of their children online,
they are creating an identity for their children __22__ might not be welcomed. Lucy is a good
example. She said she had asked her dad to de-tag her from “stuff that doesn’t
necessarily represent __23__ I am now. That’s not something I’d want to remember every
time I log on to Facebook… It isn’t the best memories, which is the way you’d like to
reveal __24__ on social media.”
Stories about online privacy are often about children and teenagers being warned of
the dangers of publishing too much personal information online. But in this case it’s their
parents who are in the spotlight. For some parents, __25__ (safe) option is avoiding social
media altogether.
Kasia Kurowska from Newcastle is expecting her first child in June and has agreed with
her partner Lee to impose a blanket ban __26__ her children are old enough to make their
own decisions about social media. But she has two big concerns about her plan. Firstly, it will
be difficult __27__ (impose). “When their auntie comes round and takes a picture, we’re
going to have to be like paparazzi police, saying, please don’t put these on Facebook. And
secondly, the child might dislike __28__ (not own) an online presence, especially if all of their
friends do. But I __29__ (keep) a digital record of them. It just won’t have been shared on a
platform __30__ the masses.”
21. posted 22. that / which 23. who / what 24. yourself / yourselves
25. the safest 26. until / before 27. to impose 28. not owning
29. will keep 30. for

G. tracks H. disastrous I. prioritized J. infectious K. stretches
That’s according to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who said Tuesday that the nation was too

Gates said during a livestream interview with Chris Anderson of TED that the U.S. should have
started to prepare in January.
“The U.S. is past this opportunity to control (the coronavirus) without shutdown,” Gates said. “We
did not act fast enough to have an ability to (31) ______ the shutdown.”
Gates said more states need to enact shelter-in-place orders or make it a point to close all but (32)
______ businesses as a way to quickly “flatten the curve,” a term used by medical experts to
describe (33) ______ the spread of the virus to prevent the health care system from being(34)
______.
“It’s (35) ______ for the economy, but the sooner you do it in a tough way, the sooner you can

“We’re still not (36) ______ that capacity and applying it to people in need,” he added in
Tuesday’s interview. “The testing thing has got to be organized, has got to be(37) ______. That is

creation of a vaccine.
Earler, in a 2015 TED Talk, Gates explained how the U.S. wasn’t ready for the next epidemic.
“If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly(39)
______ virus rather than a war,” Gates said at the time. “We’ve invested very little in a system to
stop an epidemic.”
While the coronavirus pandemic isn’t anywhere close to that 10 million mark, the number of
confirmed cases and deaths worldwide has increased each day. As of Tuesday, there have been
more than 414,000 confirmed cases of the disease globally and over 18,500 confirmed deaths,
according to an online dashboard that (40) ______ cases.（370）

Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have
just read.
（A）
While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable public
image, male politicians don’t have as many fashion choices to play with. But Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine – his socks.
He’s been seen wearing “statement socks” at many public events. For example, during a
NATO meeting in Brussels in May, Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, both with the
NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the pattern of
maple leaves – a national symbol of Canada – when he appeared on a TV show.
The New York Times’ editor Vanessa Friedman praised Trudeau’s play on his socks as
“clever”.
“[Socks] are subtle enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you can’t miss
the point,” she wrote. “Rarely have a man’s ankles said so much.”
But not all the playful socks that Trudeau wears send some kind of political message – some
of them are just for fun.
One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of
Ireland, in Montreal on May 4. During their meeting, Trudeau wore Star Wars socks – simply
because that day happened to be International Star Wars Day. If this pair of socks sent out
any message, according to Vogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was “just
that he has a quirky side and loves George Lucas films,” she wrote.
However, some say that 45-year-old Trudeau’s unusual sock choices show a childish side
of the prime
But Friedman doesn’t see it that way. “The socks have been a source of pride and
applause on an international scale – a symbol both of Mr Trudeau’s ability to embrace
multiculturalism and of his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions,”
she wrote. “[They have] opened up possibilities for the future.”
1. Trudeau wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves to___________
A. distracted audience’s attention from the TV show
B. send a message that he is proud of his country
C. narrow the gap between politician and civilians
D. claim that he is the new-generation leader of the country
2. The underlined word “ quirky” is closet in meaning to________

3. According to Friedman, Justin Trudeau__________
A. has a promising future but still an experienced politician
B. used a clever way to explore and finally discovered a goldmine
C. is open-minded and is ready to accept different cultures
D. is a leader who has abandoned old traditions to build up his future

B. a young leader’s clever choice of socks
C. how male politicians maintain public image
D. the gender difference in modern politicians

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to
make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to
invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study op
timization ( 最优化 ) compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ide
al decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents (支持者) of the worksheet proce
dure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are s
everal variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in
their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concis
e way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent (相关
的) considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative i
mportance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is
assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathemati
cally calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest num
ber of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted (多层面的), there are several alte
rnatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the
benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people t
o deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remembe
r. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A wor
ksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variable
s with complex relationships. A realistic example for my college students is the questi
on "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers sp
ecialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with succinct (简洁的) statement of the pro
blem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction
between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a
different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating
student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will
lead to a successful career?"

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.
Your clients and colleagues don’t have time to engage fully with every e-mail they
get. Some of them receive hundreds of messages per day. That’s why they start with the
ones they can deal with quickly. They may never get around to answering — or even reading
— the rest.
So how do you earn their attention? Try these tips:
Stick to standard capitalization and punctuation. Conventions of good writing may
A. Add a short but descriptive subject line.
B. Having others waiting for your e-mails hurts their enthusiasm for work
C. It could get you a bad reputation as being indiscreet.
D. People find long e-mails irksome and energy-sapping.
E. Rushed e-mails that violate the basic norms of written language bespeak carelessness.
seem like a waste of time for e-mail, especially when you’re tapping out messages on a
handheld device. But it’s a matter of getting things right — the little things. Even if people
in your group don’t capitalize or punctuate in their messages, stand out as someone who
does. 1. __________________________________________And their abbreviated style can be
confusing. It takes less time to write a clear message the first time around than it does to
follow up to explain what you meant to say.
Be brief — but not too brief. 2. _________________________________The more they have to
scroll or swipe, the less receptive they’ll be to your message. They’ll probably just skim it
and miss important details — or skip it altogether. So rarely compose more than a single
screen of reading. Focus your content, and tighten your language. But as you’re trimming
the fat from your message, keep the meat intact. When giving a project update, for example,
supply enough background information to orient your readers. Consider your message from
their perspective. They aren’t as immersed in your project as you are, and they probably
have many other things going on. So remind them where things stood when you last sent an
update, and describe what’s happened since then.
3. _________________________________Before hitting “Send,” check your subject line. If it’s
generic or blank, your message will get lost in your recipient’s overstuffed inbox. Are you
asking someone to take action? Highlight that in the subject line. Make your request easy to
find — and fulfill.
Copy people judiciously. Include only those who will immediately grasp why they’re on
the thread; don’t automatically click on “Reply All.” Your correspondent may have been
over inclusive with the “Copy” list, and if you repeat that mistake, you’ll continue to
annoy the recipients who shouldn’t be there.4. _____________________________________________
