Question

【题目】 Timely and transparent(透明的) information is important when dealing with epidemics. In the fight against the novel coronavirus, China has impressed the world with its fast response(应对), transparency and close cooperation(合作) with the international society.

After the epidemic broke out in China at the end of Dec. 2019, the NHC immediately sent an expert team to Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, for a deep investigation(调查). On Jan. 8, the novel coronavirus was first identified(确认) as the cause of the epidemic. Three days later, China established a daily reporting system, updating the public every day. Both the central and local-level governments held daily news conference, giving detailed numbers of new cases, deaths, patients in serious condition and recoveries.

At the same time, China has been sharing relevant information with the whole world in a transparent and responsible manner. Soon after China worked out the genome sequence(基因序列) of the new virus, it gave the results to the WHO(世卫组织) so that other countries could use it to carry out research and develop medicine. China also provided WHO with a detailed paper about more than 44,000 confirmed cases, which offers “a better understanding about the age range of people affected, the severity(严重性) of the disease and the death rate,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Meanwhile, efforts and support from around the world are also being welcomed to fight the disease. At the moment, a WHO team is working in China to find more methods to better treat and prevent the disease.

“China has set a new standard for other countries to prevent and control the epidemic, while no other country has the scale(规模), speed, transparency and openness comparable(比得上的) to China,” said Margaret Chan, former director-genera of WHO.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国在应对新型冠状病毒时的及时、透明和开放的信息处理方式给世界留下了深刻印象。

【1】细节理解题。根据第2大段“On Jan. 8, the novel coronavirus was first identified(确认) as the cause of the epidemic. Three days later, China established a daily reporting system, updating the public every day.”1月8号确认新型冠状病毒的传染性，3天后建立了每日通报系统。可知，是1月11号建立了每日通报体系。故选D。

【2】段落大意题。根据第2大段“After the epidemic broke out in China at the end of Dec. 2019, the NHC immediately sent an expert team to Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, for a deep investigation(调查).”疫情爆发后，NHC立即发送一个专家团队来武汉的爆发的中心，深入调查。可知，本段主要讲述了中国如何应对疫情爆发事件。故选B。

【3】词义猜测题。根据第3大段“Soon after China worked out the genome sequence(基因序列) of the new virus, it gave the results to the WHO(世卫组织)”在中国研制出新型病毒的基因序列后，它把这个结果给了世卫组织。可知，it指代基因序列。故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据第5大段“China has set a new standard for other countries to prevent and control the epidemic, while no other country has the scale(规模), speed, transparency and openness comparable(比得上的) to China,”中国已为其他国家制定了新的疫情防控标准，同时没有其他国家的规模，速度，透明度，开放度能比得上中国。可知，中国给世界树立了应对疫情的榜样。故选A。
