UN Humanitarian Chief Mark Lowcock today released US$15 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund(CERF)to help fund global efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus.
   The announcement came as the World Health Organization(WHO)upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to "very high"—its top level of risk assessment.The WHO has said there is still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission is broken.
   The UN funding has been released to the WHO and the United Nations Children's Fund(UNICEF).It will fund essential activities including being aware of the spread of the virus investigating cases,and putting national laboratories into use.
   The WHO has called for USS675 million to fund the fight against coronavirus.There is a window of opportunity to contain the spread of the virus if countries take strong measures to detect cases early,isolate and care for patients,and trace contacts.
   Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-Gieneral for Humanitarian Affairs,Mark Lowcock said, "We do not yet see evidence that the virus is spreading freely.As long as that's the case,we still have a chance of containing it,by strengthening surveillance,conducting thorough outbreak investigations to identify contacts and applying appropriate measures to prevent further spread"
   "This announcement from the UN's Emergency Fund will help countries with fragile health systems improve their detection and response operations.It has the potential to save the lives of millions of vulnerable people. "Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.WHO Director-General,said, "The potential spread of the virus to countries with weaker health systems is one of our biggest concerns.These funds will help support these countries get ready for detecting and isolating cases,protecting their health workers,and treating patients with dignity and appropriate care.This will help us save lives and push back the virus."
   "At this critical moment,every effort must be made to push back against the outbreak," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. "These funds will support our global efforts to promote weaker health systems and inform children,pregnant women and families about how to protect themselves."

  • 1.Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners.Yet,when it comes to eating noodles,Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
       According to lifestyle website Grapee.jye.ai,slurping (發(fā)出嘖嘖聲) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture.It's believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance (提高) the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food.It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish.Sometimes,just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
       It was not until a new expression - "noodle harassment" -came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem.They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
       As a response,Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling(降噪的) fork last month.The fork looks like an electric toothbrush.It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone.When the person using the fork starts to slurp,the fork will send a signal to the person's phone.Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
       But is it really necessary?Dining traditions and table manners do vary.In India,people eat with their hands.They think they build a connection with the food in this way.However,people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce.But this eating method is part of India's culture,just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.
       "So,if you are eating noodles,please slurp as you like," wrote a Japanese food blogger."If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that,ignore them.They're missing the point entirely."

    (1)Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles,according to the text?

    A.Cooling the noodles down.
    B.Making the noodles more tasty.
    C.Showing great respect for the noodles.
    D.Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
    (2)What does the underlined word "harassment" mean in paragraph 3 mean?

    A.Anxiety.
    B.Annoyance.
    C.Politeness.
    D.Appreciation
    (3)How does the noise-canceling fork work?

    A.The fork removes the slurping noise.
    B.The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
    C.A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
    D.A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
    (4)Why does the author mention people in India in this passage?

    A.To show that forks are unnecessary in Indian culture.
    B.To give an example to show cultural difference are normal.
    C.To show India has special dinning tradition and table manners.
    D.To tell us the differences in eating habits between India and Japan.

  • 3.The U.S.is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation(革新),but American universities-where new ideas often spread-have reason to look over their shoulders.
       That's especially true for technologies like 5 G phone networks and artificial intelligence and they're exactly the fields where the U.S.has to lead-and also the ones where Asia,especially China,is catching up.Universities from China get more patents than their U.S.peers in wireless communications,according to research firm GreyB Services.In AI,17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China,with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list,says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.
       There's a special place for universities in the development of science.Universities educate future scientists and can be incubators(孵化器)for pie-in-the-sky ideas-some of which turn out to be game-changers.The list ranges from search engines to DNA technology that's behind a whole industry of gene-manipulating(基因編輯)treatments.
       However,government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade,meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy,leading to the cost increase for universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts into their scientific research.
       "If you look at the federal dollars,they've not really changed considerably," says Stephen Susalka,head of AUTM,a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities."Other countries are catching up.We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved."

    (1)What does the underlined phrase "look over their shoulders" in Paragraph 1 mean?

    A.Watch out.
    B.Take off.
    C.Stand up.

    (2)The author mentions 5 G phone networks in Paragraph 2 to show
    .

    B.the Chinese government provides aids to Chinese universities
    C.wireless communications are changed dramatically these years
    D.U.S.universities may lose their lead in some high-tech fields
    (3)What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

    A.Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.
    B.Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.
    C.Universities play an important role in science development.
    D.Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.
    (4)What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S.universities?

    A.Worried.
