A city inSouth Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.

The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.

“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.

In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about30 kmnorthwest of the capital,Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.

Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.

4. What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Drivers driving after drunk. B. Pedestrians buried in their phones. C. Passengers crazy about phones. D. Policemen in charge of traffic. 5. What do we know about the warning system?

A. It has reduced death rate by 83.4%. B. It has been spread nationwide.

C. It gives a warning to the smartphones. D. It is being tried out in many places. 6. What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system? A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable. 7. What is the best title for the text?

A.South KoreaWarns Smartphone Zombies of Traffic B. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent Accidents C. Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic Accidents D.South KoreaUses a New Traffic System

C

Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,”he says.

After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to ask Eric Catalano, a tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”

Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, and it eventually was viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people who want to cover their life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.

Leslie Pollan, a dog breeder, was bitten on the face by a puppy. She underwent countless surgeries but those gave her no hope. She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. HecamouflagedPollan’s lip scar, giving her back confidence.

Though he is now known for his talent with intricate fingernail, Catalano uses the techniques he picked up years ago while helping breast cancer survivors. Those tattoos are among the most common paramedical requests. His grandmother had breast cancer, and her battle with the disease is one reason Catalano is so dedicated to helping those with the diagnosis.

Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos each “Wellness Wednesday”. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn’t charge for paramedical tattoos: A GoFundMe page established last year brought in more than $16,000, allowing Catalano to donate his work.

“Financially, it doesn’t make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see emotions from my customers, I am

100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.” 8. How did people in the studio react to Bertram’s idea at first? A. They took it lightly. B. They found it creative. C. They were confused. D. They were impressed.

9. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Exposed. B. Hid. C. Ignored. D. Removed. 10. What does Catalano say about his work with paramedical tattoos?

A. It is flexible. B. It is demanding. C. It is profitable. D. It is rewarding.

11. Which of the following can best describe Catalano?

A. Humorous and experienced. B. Devoted and generous. C. Cooperative and grateful. D. Professional and tolerant.

D

The Chinese philosopher (哲学家) Confucius once said, “Time flows away like the water in the river.” This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China, andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.

In late January, when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected, and hospitals didn't have adequate beds for them, two special hospitals—Lei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built. These two makeshift (临时的) hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters, andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters. More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts, and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site. The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time. It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan, and 14 days for Lei shenshan.

This certainly wowed many people overseas. “It's incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period. It's just hard to believe,” a foreigner named Stuart told People's Daily. In the meantime, Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.

“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing, purchasing materials, production lines and output of technologies,” Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told CCTV News. “In this special time, when the nation needs more

masks, it's time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”

Indeed, a fast response is crucial in any crisis. In this special time,Chinacan't afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic. After all, time equals life during this crisis.

12. Confucius' saying “Time flows away like the water in the river.” is mentioned to ______. A. arouse readers' interest in the passage. B. introduce the subject of the passage. C. present the background information. D. stress the value of time in epidemic. 13. What can we learn about Lei shenshan hospital and Huo shenshan hospital? A. They are new hospitals for health care inWuhan. B. They were built in minimal time. C. Over 4,000 workers worked continuously. D. Stuart found them too massive to believe.

14. We can infer from Shi Jianhua's words that the automobile industry inChina______. A. had no medical supplies factories before. B. guarantees whoever in need enough masks. C. has capabilities to give timely response. D. has strong abilities in manufacturing. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. China fights epidemic against the clock. B. Twospecial hospitals were constructed. C. Chinese firms acted quickly and effectively. D. Time is crucial for people in overcoming crisis. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
