"I spent my whole life doing one thing，" Gu Fangzhou once said.Known as "the father of sugar pills （糖丸）"，Gu passed away on January 2，2019.Eight months later，he received a national honorary﹣title （荣誉称号） "the People's Scientist" for his polio （脊髓灰质炎） research.
Gu Fangzhou，a famous medical scientist，was born in June，1926.Gu's family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father.He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944.After graduation，Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955，polio broke out in Nantong，Jiangsu Province.It paralyzed （使瘫痪） 1，680 people，mostly children aged below seven.It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths.Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. "At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine （疫苗），" said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine.Later，he developed the "sugar﹣coated pill" vaccine in the early 1960s.It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep.To test the vaccine，Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one﹣month﹣old son was vaccinated.This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids.They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. "If we don't believe in what we produce，how can others believe in it？" said Gu.
Gradually，the sugar﹣coated polio vaccine was made available in China.It saved millions of people，especially kids，from being disabled.In 2000，the World Health Organization （WHO） announced that China was already a polio﹣free country. "We feel satisfied.I can tell people that I tried my best，and your kids will no longer get polio，" said Gu. "That's all we hoped for. "

All about Electric Cars
Electric vehicles （电动车辆） have been around for more than a hundred years．But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years．More than three million all﹣electric cars，trucks，and vans are now on the road worldwide．
Helping the Environment
Most cars run on gasoline （汽油）．Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels（物燃料）produces greenhouse gases．Electric vehicles don't burn gasoline．Instead，strong batteries nun their electric engines．So，electric vehicles don't directly produce greenhouse gases．
Poop Power!
Electric vehicles are better for the environment． But they are not perfect． Their batteries often use electricity （电） that was made by burning fossil fuels． But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline． Plus， some of the electricity comes from "greener" sources，such as solar and wind power． And some may soon come from a new source﹣cow poop（牛粪）!
An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm． They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop．
Always Improving
One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range． This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge （充电）． But now their range is improving． Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did． Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries． But the number of charging stations is going up as well， China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago． In Sweden， engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along．
（1）Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1？
A． Useless．
B． Popular．
C． Cheap．
D． Perfect．
（2）What does the picture above show？

The Chinese kite is a symbol of the Chinese handicraft （手工艺品）． Flying a kite is a very popular activity in China． In spring， large numbers of people gather in the squares or parks and fly beautiful kites there．
A philosopher （哲学家） called Mozi was said to be the inventor of the Chinese kite． His invention had the bird's name of "Yuan"， a kind of bird of the hawk （鹰） family with a long tail． He made the kite out of wood． Later， his student Lu Ban improved it and made the kite out of bam boo．

When do children start to talk？If you ask a group of parents when this happened，most will say" around twelve months of age".They will probably even remember what the children said.Many parents keep a diary of their child's "first words"
We can never predict what a first word is going to be.Often it's the name for" mummy " or "daddy"，but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy.Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention.But one thing is certain：after the first word，others come quickly.By 18 months，most children have learned about 50 words.By two，the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one﹣word sentences.One of the first features（特征）of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning.In English，daddy with a high rising tone（声调）means "is that daddy？" Daddy with a high falling tone means "There's daddy".Of course，only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone.So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English，grammar means learning to put words in different orders.Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy.They start practising such changes at around 18 months.By two，they have learned the basic patterns of word order，and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doing all his time？They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
（1）How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words？
A.About 6 months old.

If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening，you might see a lot of people doing these slow and beautiful movements— Carry the tiger over the mountain and White crane spreads its wings.In fact，they are doing Taichi.
Taichi is an ancient martial art（武术）.It is a common kind of exercise in China.More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Taichi at present.Recently UNESCO（联合国教科文组织） has added Taichi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List（非物质文化遗产名录）.Many taichi fans were happy to hear of it. "This will make taichi more popular around the world.Hopefully，more people will become healthier by practicing it." said Chen Bin.He is a Taichi master from the village of Chenjiagou，Henan Province.This village is the birthplace of Chen﹣style Taichi.
It's true that doing Taichi is good for our health.It can make us walk and move more freely，and it can also make us stronger.During slow movements，we can focus on （专注） our hands and feet.We can control them better.Slow movements also help us to take deep and long breaths.
Taichi also focuses on the harmony（和谐） between yin（阴） and yang（阳）.It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world.The world is full of yin and yang：dark and light，soft and hard，female and male.But they don't oppose（对立） each other absolutely（绝对地）.As we see in the picture，a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area.After a dark night，the sun will rise.Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring.Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world.

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？
Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.
（1）The coronavirus can .
| A． |
not be killed |
| B． |
not be found |
| C． |
cause deaths |
| D． |
stop pandemic |
（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？
| A． |
Vaccination can provide us with B cells. |
| B． |
Vaccines are made from different viruses. |
| C． |
Vaccination can prepare us against viruses. |
| D． |
Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do. |
（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine .
| A． |
needs taking more than once |
| B． |
is equally safe |
| C． |
contains viruses that are killed |
| D． |
is more effective |
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
| A． |
Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19. |
| B． |
The immune system can be more effective with vaccines. |
| C． |
The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses. |
| D． |
180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases. |

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest（热带雨林）？Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface，about six percent，but there are more kinds of tees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa，Asia，Central and South America，Australia，and on the Pacific islands.The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon（亚马逊）Rainforest in South America，which covers 1.2 billion acres，or almost five million square kilometres.The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things.In fact，the Amazon Rainforest is the "lungs of our planet" because it produces 20%of the world's oxygen （氧气）.One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest.Furthermore，one half of the world's species of animals，plants and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest.25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests.Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest.The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light.The under storey is the dark，cool environment under the leaves but over the ground.The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees.The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.

When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers （尿布）. A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.
Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers' market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested（收获）with no man-made additions.
There are several ways in which farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers' markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit（信用）cards or checks （支票）as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers' markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.
Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers' markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food. Those who value convenience and（多样）will probably choose to shop at a grocery store. People who value freshness and enjoy supporting local farmers will probably prefer the farmers' markets. Luckily, most communities provide choices for both kinds of shoppers.

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette （长棍面包） is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower，" said Dominigue Anract，president of the Confederation of French Bakers.
So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.
UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list，it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.
The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things：water，wheat flour，yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented （发酵） for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.
Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However，as supermarkets continue to take over，tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette，" Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."
