Even in his sleep, Wen Yongsheng was expecting the call. It immediately woke him up. He answered it but he knew before he said a word what it was about. He jumped into action and, along with his partner, Yang Bo, donned full protective clothing.

As a doctor and driver of an ambulance, they just received a request to transfer a patient infected with the novel coronavirus to a designated hospital in Southwest Chinas Chongqing.

They had been trying to get some precious sleep. After all, they had been working flat out for 12 days since Jan 24, Lunar New Years Eve.“We have to seize every minute and second to have a rest,”says Wen, a doctor with the department of the pre-hospital first aid department at the Chongqing Emergency Medical Center.On Lunar New Years Day, he“celebrated”his 40th birthday on duty.

Their ambulance has an inbuilt negative-pressure chamber, allowing air in but not out. This prevents cross infection and the possibility of spreading the virus.Wen always sits beside the patient and uses life support equipment to ensure that the patients condition does not deteriorate on the way to hospital.“The transfer of critically-ill patients can be a very dangerous task. But I cant show any panic or fear. I need to make the patients feel reassured,”says Wen.

Since the first case was transferred to the Chongqing Emergency Medical Center on Feb 4, the two special ambulances have transferred 91 confirmed patients. There were no reported cases of cross-infection.The doctors and drivers of the special ambulance live in an isolated area of the hospital while carrying out their duty. After 14 days at work, they are quarantined in the isolation area for another 14 days before they can go back home.

Wen finished his first two-week stint on Friday. At the moment, he can only communicate with his family through video call.“My wife always tells me she will support me forever. My 6-year-old son always says he misses me. I also miss them very much,”Wen says.

In order to win the battle against the virus, Wen says he can overcome the difficulties.“I really hope it ends quickly. I want to go home early and hold my little boy,”he says.

28. What did the call that woke Wen Yongsheng up require him to do?

A.to carry on an emergent operation on a patient

B.to transfer a patient infected with the novel coronavirus to a designated hospital

C.to rescue someone who got injured in a car crash

The growing death toll and spreading infection of the novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒)outbreak have gripped the attention of people around the world and also generated international news headlines. Thus far, news coverage of the outbreak has mainly focused on keeping track of the looming threat, recording the insufferable human cost, and, above all, evaluating the Chinese governments responsibility and response to this public health crisis. However, what is missing from the news is a climate change frame, which sees the novel coronavirus outbreak as a different manifestation(表現)of the ongoing climate change crisis.

Our recent memory teems with more frequent and broader outbreaks: the SARS outbreak in 2003, the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, the MERS outbreak in 2012, the H7N9 avian influenza outbreak in 2013, the Ebola outbreak in 2014, and so on. Each time, new strains of viruses emerge and strike back, and they become more contagious and virulent. The current novel coronavirus epidemic(传染病)is just one part of a series of outbreaks on a global scale in an extended period. The virus origin, high contagiousness, and long incubation period(潜伏期)are still confusing scientists.

Numerous studies have shown that climate change is a major factor that modifies the geographic and temporal distribution of zoonotic virus animal hosts, characteristics of the viruss animal host life cycle, dispersal pattern(传播方式)of the virus, and animal-to-human viral spill-over efficiency(溢出效率). A group of UK and US researchers has also found that global warming combined with higher human population growth and lower rates of socioeconomic development produce a higher likelihood of epidemics, such as Ebola, to happen as a result of animal-to-human transmission.

When news coverage neglects the climate change factor in the novel coronavirus outbreak, some dangerous consequences follow. The Chinese people become the scapegoat(替罪羊). Chinese culture, especially the culinary(烹饪)culture, in which wildlife dishes are only an unsupported part, has been singled out for criticism and demonization(妖魔化).

32. What aspects do news headlines NOT mainly concentrate on?

A. evaluating the Chinese response to the public health crisis

B. recording the insufferable human cost

C. criticising the related people who spread the virus

D. keeping track of the looming threat

33. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. vulnerable

B. curable

C. poisonous

D. deadly

34. What factors have the researchers in UK and US found that result in a higher likelihood of epidemics?

①lower rates of socioeconomic development

②higher hunman population growth

③global warming

④animal- to-human transmission

A.①②

B.①②③

C.②③

D.①②③④

35. According to the author, what is probably the cause of the novel coronavirus outbreak?

A. the climate change

B. Chinese culinary culture

C. wildlife dishes

D. some Chinese citizens

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。选项中有两处为多余选项。

How to Get a Job in the USA

Do you dream of living in America? There are plenty of reasons to make the move: a high standard of living, increased status, and a better pay scale. Plus, there is a huge range of novel cultural experiences that can be had from coast to coast. Its definitely a dream worth pursuing, but unless you plan to study in the USA, youll need to find a job in order to secure your visa. 36

●Choose the Right Visa for You

There are several types of visa for people who intend to work in the United States.

H-1B

If you hope to live in America indefinitely, your best bet is the H-1B visa, designed for skilled workers in specialized fields.

H-2A

The H-2A visa is for people who want temporary agriculture-based work, such as seasonal farm workers.

H-2B

The H-2B visa is for temporary or unskilled workers who are looking for a non-agricultural position to last for a limited amount of time.

L1

37The catch is that you must be an executive or manager in your current position to qualify.

●38

The United States strongly prefers candidates with advanced professional qualifications, but not all degrees transfer directly. For example, doctors are highly sought in the USA, but an Intentional medical degree often does not qualify you to practice medicine there.39

●Find an Employer to Sponsor You

To get a visa you need to find an employer willing to sponsor you.40Right now in America, businesses are facing shortages in financial and business services, technology, media, telecommunications, and surprisingly, manufacturing. Teachers are also needed, and of course, doctors. Your chances of success are better if you can show superior skills in any of these industries.

You can get more information and advice on job seeking in the United States on the Department of Immigration website. Best of luck on your job search! The United States will be lucky to have your skills and passion.

A.Network with American Workers.

B.Consider Your Professional Qualifications.

C.That wont be easy, but weve collected some helpful tips to get you on the right path.

D.An additional examination is often required to validate degrees for work in the United States.

E.Before you begin your job search, familiarize yourself with industries that are currently experiencing labor shortages.

F.This is the intracompany transfer visa meant for workers who wish to transfer from their job to a role with the same company in America.

G.If you are already an executive or manager for a company with an existing branch in the United States, you could potentially relocate with your current job rather than start over with a new job search.
