The self-assessment service,rolled out on Star Times ON app by Chinese digital TV provider Star Times Group,offers African users practical tips on how to protect themselves fr om COVID-19 in multiple languages-French,English,Portuguese,and Swahili.It is available in 45 countries in the region. The service,co-developed by the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and School of Clinical Medicine of Tsinghua University,aims to help the public know more about the virus.It has been tested by top Chinese health experts. Users can access the self-assessment service on the front page of Star Times On.After answering several questions,such as on health conditions and recent travel history,users will get an evaluation result indicating the risk level of infection,as well as corresponding health suggestions. The service,initially rolled out in China on Feb 1,has been used on trial by more than 10 million users in 19 countries. People in other regions can download the Star Times On app by scanning the QR code and then clicking on the section of theCOVID-19 Self-Assessment System”on the page. 56.What is the new app service aimed at? A.Evaluating the risks of infecting COVID-19. B.Confirming whether one has infected the virus. C.Warning people of potential risks of traveling. D.Informing people of increased death number. 57.How can the app users get the assessment results? A.By scanning the QR code. 7 B.By completing a questionaire. C.By giving health suggestions. D.By consulting top health experts. B A single fingerprint can distinguish whether someone has recently touched cocaine or actually ingested(吞下）it.This test can be completed in less than 2 minutes,far quicker than blood tests,and could be used for forensic(法庭的）investigations or drug testing. Melanie Bailey at the University of Surrey in the UK and her colleagues have developed a technique that detects trace amounts of cocaine,as well as signs of cocaine use,on human skin. “You can use it to say either somebodys touched the drug or theyve ingested it,says Bailey. As well as cocaine,the test picks up on a molecule called benzoylecgonine,which is excreted（分 泌）through the skin after a person has taken cocaine.The chemical is also present as an impurity in some street samples of cocaine.Benzoylecgonine in street cocaine actually washes off the fingers,says Bailey. But a person who has ingested cocaine will continue to excrete the molecule through their sweat,so even after washing their hands it is detectable in a fingerprint. Bailey and her team took fingerprints from people who had touched samples of cocaine of 99 per cent purity as well as street samples that were far less pure.They took fingerprints immediately after the drug had been handled and again after participants had washed their hands.They also took fingerprints from 26 people at a drug rehabilitation(康复）clinic who reported taking cocaine in the past 24 hours. For the test,the individual presses their finger onto a piece of specialised paper for 10 seconds. The paper is then analysed using a technique called mass spectrometry to detect the presence of cocaine or benzoylecgonine. In the 86 samples,the fingerprinting technique was 95 per cent accurate.The team found that detection was possible up to 48 hours after contact or ingestion. Unlike blood tests,which are the current standard for testing cocaine use,the fingerprint analysis can be completed in less than 2 minutes. The technique is now commercially available and could be used for drug testing.If someones ingested cocaine,you wouldnt want them to fly a plane or drive a bus,says Bailey. 58.What is one of the advantages of this fingerprint technique? A.It requires much less testing time. B.It helps to get rid of waste material. C.It promises a 100 percent accuracy. D.It causes the crime rate to decrease. 8 59.What is the core of Bailey and her teams study? A.Collecting samples of cocaine of 99% purity. B.Pressing fingers onto specialized paper for 10 seconds. C.Comparing and analyzing different sorts of fingerprint data. D.Taking fingerprints from 26 people taking cocaine in the past 24 hours. 60.Where can this technique be applied? A.Treating drug patients. B.Identifying drug driving. C.Purifying cocaine. D.Promoting the commercial market. C Recent data released from the Department of Labor in the US show that for the first time in 10 years,women make up more than half(50.04%)of the workforce.Many have celebrated this milestone as proof that women are inching toward equality in the workplace.After all,a symbol of women s equality in America has always been increased via labor force participation. For women in todays economy,however,increased employment also carries an increased burden.Women earn less,have less flexibility in terms of their work schedules to meet caretaking demands,and are more likely to experience discrimination based on gender or sexual harassment than their male counterparts(相同的人物）in the workforce. Women earn less than men in nearly every occupation for which there is available data.If wedo nothing,women will not reach economic equality with men until 2059.For women of color,it will take more than a century:2130 for black women and 2224 for Hispanic women(those fromLatin America).This means women will have to work longer or hold multiple jobs to make ends meet and to care for their families. Increased employment among women has not translated into less work at home.Many women in the workforce are still primarily responsible for the lions share of housework and caretaking responsibilities compared with men. A new study by Oxfam America-Institute for Women s Policy Research finds that women in the United States spend 37%more time on household and care work than their male counterparts,limiting career choices and economic mobility,and affecting their overall health and well-being.Black and Hispanic women spend nearly twice as much time on unpaid housework and caretaking demands as their male counterparts. Much has been made about our strong economy as measured by how well the stock market performs and low unemployment.Theres no doubt the increase in workforce participation among women will help boost this narrative(叙述）。However,it does not mean that women are more economically secure. In todays economy,working and middle-class families continue to struggle with rising housing 9 and health care costs,stagnant(停滞的）wages and a shift to a technology-driven economy fueled by automation and the loss of manufacturing jobs.These trends have a extreme impact on women. 61.Why have people celebrated women s taking up more than half of the workforce? A.Because women are likely to replace men in some fields. B. Because that is the symbol of labor force participation. C.Because it indicates more equality for women at workplace. D.Because the data was released from the Department of Labor. 62.The numbers in Para.3 are used to emphasize that A.women s inequality is.a hard nut to crack. B.women have to bear an increased burden C.women earn less than men in every occupation D.women of color see no hope to reach equality 63.Why doesnt women s employment mean women are more economically secure? A.Manufacturing jobs are increased by high-tech automation. B.The trends in todays economy are unfavourable to women. C.Economy is measured by the performance of the stock market. D.Women are responsible for rising housing and health care costs. 64.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.Women s Participation and Economic growth B.Over Half of Women Have Entered the Workforce C.Women Spend More Time on Household Than Men D.Women s Increased Employment Carries Increased Burden D. My father died when I was four years old.He was only 27 and had been working as an assistant city lawyer in Reno,Nevada,for two years.I only mention that last part because it meant he wasnt entitled to the state employees pension,so my mom didnt get any survivors benefits.She was 28, pregnant with my younger sister,and unemployed.Shed been forced out of her job as a speech therapist.In the early 1970s,the majority of U.S.school districts forced pregnant women to take unpaid leave,or just fired them when theirconditionbecame obvious.Even today,women still arent equal to men in these 16 ways. I dont have a lot of specific memories from that time,but I do remember two moments from these terrible months very clearly.One was my mother telling me that my father had died.I wept, understanding that this meant we could no longer be with him,but I wondered if maybe we could phone him.By long-distance,I suggested.When my mom finally shook her head no,I knew something no child should ever know.Anything can happen. 10 The other thing I remember happened shortly after my sister was born.While she nursed,I was tight at my mothers side.Well be okay,my mom said.I can work.It didnt matter that I had the only the vaguest conception of whatworkwas.something parents did while kids were at preschool?Id been hopelessly sinking and,magically,a floatie appeared. Three months after my sister was born,a speech therapists position in the local school district opened,and my mother got the job.Somehow,that spring,we moved out of my fathers childhood bedroom-which my mom,sister,and I had been sharing at my paternal grandparents home since my dad had died-and into our own little house.The next fall,I started kindergarten,walking to a neighborhood school with a little posse(一群人），just like a normal kid. By that fall,my mom was not only working full-time during the day,but also taking classes in the evening,so she could qualify for a higher salary with her school district,and working extra jobs.My mom working 80+hours a week wasnt easy or pleasant.My sister and I were tossed( 扔 ） from grandparents to friends moms to babysitters to corners of rooms where our mother was teaching.Our house was a mess.I got scolded by teachers for failing to return field-trip permission slips.My mother was often exhausted-and exhaustion m
