A

Many of us grow up with dreams of becoming a scientist, teacher, doctor or lawyer. Now, there are more career choices for young people.

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced 16 new professions. Some of these professions have made great contributions in the fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP). Here we have chosen three for you. Let’s take a look.

Respiratory therapists

Since the outbreak of the NCP, respiratory diseases have become a great concern. This is where respiratory therapists (呼吸治疗师) come in. According to US News, a respiratory therapist cares for patients who have trouble breathing or suffer from heart attacks, or shock. Due to their frequent communication with patients, they need to be adept at socializing, helping others, and teaching.

Artificial intelligence (AI) trainers

From Siri to robots on the assembly line(生产线) , AI has become an important part of our lives. To improve on this technology, AI trainers regularly sort and add data to AIs to optimize (优化) their analysis process, which helps AIs to better meet people’s needs. During the NCP outbreak, AI trainers in the US, for example, used artificial intelligence to look for social posts that mentioned specific symptoms resembling (与……相似) NCP. Then, the AI created a publicly accessible map that attempted to live-track (实时追踪) the virus.

Prefabricated building constructors

Erecting a building is quite common, but finishing its construction in a short

period, even within a week, is highly unusual. However, prefabricated building constructors(装配式建筑施工员) can make that a reality. According to Forbes magazine, they can quickly assemble(组装) a variety of components of a structure at a manufacturing site and then transport those sub-assemblies (子配件) to the location of the construction site. During the NCP outbreak, Leishenshan Hospital and Huoshenshan Hospital were built in 14 days and 10 days respectively, thanks to the efforts of such skilled constructors.

1. What does the underlined phrase “adept at”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. patient with

B. skillful at

C. careful about

D. responsible for

2. AI trainers intend to improve AI’s ability to ______.

A. collect and sort data

3. What are prefabricated building constructors responsible for?

B. Examples of new professions.

C. Three of the most popular career choices.

D. Technological contributions to fighting COVID-19.

B

Queen Elizabeth II has led Great Britain through many tough times throughout

her 68-year sovereignty (在位). But never, during her reign (统治)，has an issue disrupted the British public as much as the current pandemic of COVID-19.

By April 6, the UK had had 47,806 confirmed cases. Among them, crucially, is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has recently been hospitalized. With the country entering its peak infection period, the Queen made only her fifth televised address to the nation, aside from her annual Christmas broadcast, on April 5. The four other times she has made such an address have been to mark the Gulf War, the death of Princess Diana of Wales, the death of her mother and her Diamond Jubilee (登基六十周年纪念).

According to Jonny Dymond, the BBC’s royal correspondent (通讯记者), “The Palace could have played it safe, stressed unity and given thanks. But this speech was designed to reassure (重拾信心) and inspire.”

In her pre-recorded statement, the Queen focused on the dedication (奉献) of her subjects. “We have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting(转变) businesses to help the relief effort.”

As well as thanking frontline workers, she pushed a message of comfort and motivation. “ Together, we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.”

“We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.”

Following the speech, people throughout the country voiced their admiration for her moving words.

London Mayor praised the Queen’s focus on frontline healthcare workers, and councilor (议员) Oliver Cooper wrote, “Nobody could have rallied (振作) the country, the Commonwealth, and the world the way the Queen did.”

Some Internet users even shared how they cried after the speech, while others wrote the words of the national anthem (国歌), God Save the Queen.

Indeed, the wisdom of Britain’s 93-year-old monarch (君主) offered hope to the

millions of Britons under lockdown.

5. What role does the second paragraph play?

A. To offer the latest information about the pandemic in the UK.

B. To inform the reader of the Queen's televised address.

C. To explain why the address was delivered via television.

D. To indicate the importance of the Queen’s recent speech.

6. What does the phrase “her subjects” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. her family

B. the stories she told

C. the topics in her speech

D. the citizens under her rule

7. What are Paragraphs 7-9 mainly about?

A. The focus of the Queen’s speech.

B. The public's reaction to the Queen’s speech.

C. How the Queen delivered the speech.

D. To whom the speech was addressed.

8. What can we conclude from the text?

A. The UK has never experienced a tougher time.

B. The palace should have played it safe.

C. The Queen’s speech has served its purpose.

D. The Queen was calling on the whole world to unite against COVID-19.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Is it true that British people have a different sense of humor than people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.

9.______ It’s not just politicians who make us chuckle (暗笑), but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously.

We laugh at authority, but also sympathetically (同情地) laugh with anyone who is treated badly.10.______ Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things —

Mr. Bean, for example — while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things — and winning.

The fact that we laugh when other people might feel hopeless is one of the oddest things to appreciate about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). “Not very pleasant,” we might say after some terrible experience.11.______ “It’s a bit windy today,”we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or “There’s a slight problem,” when something has gone very seriously wrong. This is related to the old-fashioned British expression “stiff upper lip(坚定沉着)”.12.______ Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humor is that we don't always laugh or even smile when we say something funny.13.______ Do you think the British sense of humor is unique?

A. In addition, we tend to play things down.

B. Brits don’t express extreme feelings; we just“keep calm and carry on”.

C. Culture plays a big part in how funny you may find something.

D. We often keep a straight face even when we’re making a joke.

E. Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them down.

F. We know they can’t win, but if they do s o sometimes, it’s even funnier.

G. To the British, powerful and important people are often sources of laughter. 第二部分：完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满40分）
