There have been nine secetary0generals of the United Nations (联合国秘书长) since the first one was appointed (任命) in 1946. But somehow, Kofi Annan has been the one that people tend to remember the best.
Annan, born in Ghana, was the first black African to ever hold the job. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Just as the New York Times put it, Annan “redefined (重新定义) the UN”.
During those 10 years—from 1997 to 2006—the world was at its worst. This period witnessed the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the Sept. 11 attacks of 2001, and the US’s invasion (侵略) of Iraq in 2003.
On its own, the UN has little power. However, Annan combined that power with his own to achieve great things. He kept the world from falling apart from attacks and wars. He also fought for women’s rights and the educational rights of children, and fought against the spread of HIV in Africa.
It was because of these things that he and the UN were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, for their work toward “a better organized and a more peaceful world”. Annan also put “people” at the center of everything the UN does. He took the trouble to relate to (建立联系) others—young or old, senior or junior, ambassador (大使) or security guard (保安).
Maybe what Annan did was more than just redefine the UN. Indeed, as Antonio Guterres, current secretary-general of the UN, said, “In many ways, Kofi Annan was the UN.”
1.According to the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. secretary-generals are not usually remembered by people
B. people believe that Annan has been the best leader of Ghana
C. Annan is the only black man to win the Noble Peace Prize
D. Annan is the first black African secretary-general of the UN
2.The underlined word can be replaced by “______”.
A. saw B. made
C. prevented D. happened
3.What did Annan do to redefine the UN?
A. Women and children were kept from being attacked.
B. He stopped the spread of HIV and found the cure for AIDS in Africa.
C. He made the world a better and more peaceful place.
D. He has every country get the same rights in the UN.
4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Annan has trouble in communicating with others.
B. People are believed less important than others by Annan.
C. The current leader of the UN thins highly of Annan and his great achievements.
D. People in higher position easily get more support from the leaders of the UN.

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women, during the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器）and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
1. According to the passage, around the year1990 most women married________.
A. at about twenty five B. in their early fifties
C. as soon as possible after they were fifteen D. at any age from fifteen to forty five
2.We are told that in an average family about1990________.
A. many children died before they were five
B. the youngest child would be fifteen

A. would expect to work until she died
B. was usually expected to take up paid employment
C. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment.
D. was unlikely to find a job.

A. marry so that they can get a job
B. Leave school as soon as they can
C. give up their jobs for good after they are married

Since December,there have been tens of thousands of the COVID-19 cases both in and out of China,caused by a previously unknown virus:novel coronavirus.
What are they?Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms(有机物).They can't reproduce(繁殖) on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.But the basic question is,where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.
Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts not only humans,but also bacteria,plants and other animals,which is a complicated task. However,there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses.First,viruses started as independent organisms,then became parasites(寄生者). Second,viruses evolved(进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that"escaped"from larger organisms.The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells,which means they existed alongside these cells.
For the time being,these are only theories.The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation.Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.
1.What can we learn about viruses from the article?
A.They mainly infect animals and plants.
B.They are really small living organisms.
C.They are more dangerous than bacteria.
D.They can't reproduce unless they find a host cell.
2.Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?
A.They evolved along with their host cells.
B.They evolved from the DNA or RNA in animals.
C.They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.
D.They evolved from parasites to independent organisms.
3.The underlined word"plausible"in the last paragraph probably means______.
A.creative B.reasonable
C.common D.unbelievable
4.What can we conclude from the article?
A.The author is confident about future virus research.
B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.
C.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.
D.It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.

There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.
It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.
However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.
In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.
1.According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ________.
A．most of the children behave badly in their daily life
B．they have changed their attitudes towards their children
C．physical punishment is effective to educate their children
D．they are free to use physical punishment on their children
2.Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because ________.
A．they are disappointed with their children
B．they don’t want to hurt their children badly
C．they were brought up just in the same way
D．they don’t know what to do with their children
3.The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________.
A．most people are used to wearing seat belts
B．people won’t change their old habits unless forced
C．seat belts are really very necessary and useful
D．it’s not difficult to change some negative habits
4.The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.
A．talk about a ban on using physical punishment
B．tell us we should educate our children in other ways
C．advise parents to give up using physical punishment
D．suggest physical punishment should be used at home
