2、om COVID-19. In the general population Type O blood (34%) is more common than A (32%). However, among COVID-19 patients, people with Type O accounted for just 25%, whereas Type A made up 41%.People with Type O blood made up a quarter (25%) of deaths in the research. Normally, Type O people make up 3

3、2 percent of people in Wuhan.The controversial correlation has yet to be scrutinised by other academics in peer review and the researchers are unable to explain why infection varies by blood type. Researchers in China assessed 2,173 people who had been diagnosed with the coronavirus, including 206 p

4、eople who died after contracting the virus, from three hospitals in Hubei. Academics compared the data of the infected Wuhan patients with 3,694 non-infected people in the same region. Of the 206 patients in the study who died, 85 had type A blood, equivalent to 41 percent of all deaths. In the heal

B英国科学家研发检测新冠病毒口罩Researchers hope to trial low-cost face masks that can detect whether someone has infectious coronavirus before they display any symptoms. Experts at the University of Leicester said if successful, the method could simplify large-

9、scale screening for the virus and curb the spread of Covid-19. The sampling masks will be adapted using 3D printed strips and can trap exhaled microbes in a 30-minute period. About 80,000 people so far have been infected with the disease worldwide. Scientists claim the adapted masks could allow larg

10、e groups to be checked at once, which could help curb the spread of the virus and avoid long stays in quarantine. Mike Barer, professor of clinical microbiology at the university, said: Coronavirus is spread from the mouth, throat and respiration system of infected individuals. This new approach is

11、exciting because it could help us determine whether a person is infectious or not, even before symptoms of the virus have appeared. Measuring how much of the virus is breathed out by using the mask sampling approach will allow us to compare levels of the virus exhaled by different individuals, and c

12、ould help us focus control efforts on preventing spread. The mask can easily be processed in any standard virus diagnostic laboratory, he added. Adapted masks have previously been successfully used to screen patients for tuberculosis, researchers said. Initially the sampling masks will be tested on

13、patients with other respiratory infections and the results will then be compared to throat swab results. If that trial validates the new approach, researchers will then move on to using the masks in trials with the new coronavirus. It is expected to take between two to three months to reach this sta

14、ge. The university said if the sampling masks were manufactured on an industrial scale they could potentially cost pennies. 4. What do the scientists hope to do in order to curb the spread of COVID-19? A. They hope to find a new kind of face mask made of special material. B. They hope to test the ad

15、apted masks to help curb the spread of the virus. C. They hope to compare the adapted masks with the sampling masks. D. They hope to use the adapted masks to screen patients for all other disease. 5. What can we learn from what Mike Barer professor a clinical microbiology at the university said? A.

16、The masks can be easily made in any lab. B. The masks have already been successfully used to curb the spread of COVID-19. C. The masks could help us determine whether a person is infected or not before symptoms of the virus have appeared. D. The sampling masks will be tested on patients infected by

17、COVID-19 at the very beginning. 6. How long will it take to move the new approach on to masks in trials to curb the spread of COVID-19? A. At least a year. B. Between two or three months. C. Only one month. D. More than half a year. 7. From the last paragraph,we know that_. A. The sampling masks cou

18、ld be very expensive. B. The sampling masks could be very cheap. C. The sampling masks could be in short. D. The sampling masks could cost a penny.

D卢森堡成为全球首个公共交通免费国家With a population of 602,000, Luxembourg is one of Europes smallest countries - yet it suffers from major traffic jams. But that could be about to change. As of March 1, 2020 all public transport - trains, trams and bus

30、es - in the country is now free. The government hopes the move will alleviate heavy congestion and bring environmental benefits, according to Dany Frank, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works. Landlocked Luxembourg is one of the richest countries in Europe, with the highest pe

31、r capita GDP in the European Union. Taking up 2,586 square kilometers, Luxembourg is roughly the size of Rhode Island. From the capital of Luxembourg City, Belgium, France and Germany can all be reached by car in half an hour. High housing costs, especially in Luxembourg City, mean more than 180,000

32、 of its workforce commute from those neighboring countries every day. Luxembourg is a very attractive place for jobs, explains Geoffrey Caruso, a professor at the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research specializing in land use and transportation. But its boo

33、ming economy and high concentration of jobs have led to congestion issues, he says. In 2016, Luxembourg had 662 cars per 1,000 people, and driving is a primary means of transportation for commuters, according to a 2017 report by the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure. That year,

34、drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams. It fared worse than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, which have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg - yet drivers in both only spent an average of 24 hours in traffic. The government is putting up the cost

35、of making it free, Frank says. The country at this very moment is in really good shape. We, the government, want the people to benefit from the good economy. Caruso is concerned that making transport free may unintentionally deter people who would normally walk or cycle in urban areas. Rather than walking 500 meters, you see a bus coming and you say, I (can) get on and travel 500 meters because its free, he says. He adds, how
