What is a hero？We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events.Now，as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia （新冠肺炎），medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.
As of Feb 19，a total of 32，000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang Dingyu，the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital，is one of these heroes，since the hospital received the first seven patients in December，Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep.Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （肌萎縮側(cè)索硬化），the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients.
"I have to run，racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease，because I don't have much time left in my life，" Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.
With the duty of saving lives，many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days，despite their fear and worries.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children's Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital.She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.
When her parents ask for a video chat，Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.
"It's dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible，so that medical staff and patients can go back home，" she told China Daily.
US writer Khalil Gibran （1883 — 1931）once wrote， "Tenderness （溫柔） and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair （絕望），but the manifestations of strength and resolution." It's true for the medical workers.
Everyone has fear，especially when it comes to deadly diseases.But for medical staff，saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front.They may look like ordinary people in daily life，but in these extraordinary （不同尋常的） times，they are heroes.

2．Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星） and comets，as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons，delivered by stars like Bruce Willis，to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality，if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock，the safest and best answer might be something more subtle，like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening，when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous，which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared，the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned，they said，with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell，our first planetary defense test was a success，" said Elena Adams，the mission systems engineer，who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test （DART） ，a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months，scientists said，before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course，probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks，especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully，none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered，and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson，NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
（1）How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully？
A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
（2）What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft？
A．To search for evidence of alien life.
B．To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C．To save the world and deliver a drama.
D．To test technology for defending Earth.
（3）What can be inferred about Dimorphous？
A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.
（4）Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with？
A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布：2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.5 -

Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and （8）good knowledge of traditions.Through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture，said Tadao Ando，the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
"Today，many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing. （9）Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing （10）they really are，" said Wang.發(fā)布：2024/10/23 6:0:3組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5
