    How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

    So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.

    In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.

    The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.

    These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. I's really difficult to get lost!

(1)、What was drawn in the earliest maps?
A、Stars. B、Landmarks. C、Cities and towns. D、Mountains and rivers.
(2)、What does the underlined word "coastlines" mean in Chinese?
A、标志 B、码头 C、海岸线 D、轮廓
(3)、When did road maps come out?
A、Around 15th and 16th centuries. B、When people began to travel by train. C、When people began to travel by sea. D、When cities and towns appeared.
(4)、Which of the following is true?
A、A GPS helped people to travel long time ago. B、Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps. C、The sky was polluted by light before cities were built. D、Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.
(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?
A、Maps have a long history. B、We never get lost these days. C、We can't travel without maps. D、Henry Beck designed a new map.

The fear of the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒) has turned into discrimination (歧视) against certain groups of people, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(include) people from Wuhan, Chinese people or Asians in general. However, the outbreak of the disease can't be an excuse to isolate these groups. What we should do is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(get) rid of (消除) discrimination and show sympathy (同情) instead.

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(live) in fear. This is normal, as the disease is infectious (传染性的) and dangerous. However, some people turn pale at the mention of "people from Wuhan or Hubei province", the center of the outbreak.

    Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He treated a suspected (疑似的) patient {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name)Chen Hui who traveled from Wuhan to Shanghai. Chen appeared desperate (绝望的) and avoided {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(keep)in touch with other patients, as he worried that they would be afraid of him.

    Chen is not alone. Chen Xue, an editor {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(work) in Beijing, went to Chongli in Hebei for a ski trip on Jan 23. Though her temperature was fine and she hasn't been to her hometown – Hubei province – since October last year, the hotel she was in told her that it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(will not) receive Hubei guests from the next day.

    However, the real enemy is the virus – not the patients or people from Wuhan or Hubei province. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong echoed this idea in a speech at the Chinese New Year dinner. "Even though the virus started in Wuhan, it doesn't respect nationality or race (种族). It does not check your passport (护照) before it goes into your body. Anybody can be infected," he said.

    It is not the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient) fault that they have been infected. There is no reason to blame them. If patients didn't go to the hospital for fear of discrimination, the virus {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(spread) to more people. "Protecting them is just as important as protecting ourselves," Ding said. 

Poem that inspires

At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会), six hosts read a poem to inspire people across the country. It called for greater respect for medical workers, as well as called on everyone to work together to fight the virus. One of the lines – "we isolate (隔离) the virus, but we don't isolate love" – has been {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(wide) posted online.

①As missing children get older,they become quite different from the faces in their last﹣known photographs,which makes finding the really difficult. Now AI(人工智能)can make it easier to match any found children to those old photos. 

②Police can use software(软件)to age photos of missing people,but it seems to work best in adults

③Unlike adults ,the faces of children change greatly as time goes by,and matching photos of found children to old images(画像)(数据库)of missing children is difficult. "Even with a recent face image of a child,it is quite hard for a human to recognize(辨认),who the child is from a large data set of child face images," says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University. 

④Now Deb and his teammates have created an algorithm(算法)to work out the problem. They created a face﹣recognition algorithm on data sets,which have images of nearly 1

⑤AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2. 5 years earlier. The correct matching rate can be 80 percent. With one year between the two photographs,it was 90 percent correct at recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The new AI might help to improve accuracy (准确性)of this kind of software

⑥Deb's next goal(目标 )is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app to fight against the sale of children.

①Hello! My name is Emma and I'm eleven years old. I have a brother, Josh, who's just five. I live with my family on a farm in the southwest of England. I was born in London, but my parents moved to Devon when I was two. My brother was born here, in Northam. My father runs the farm and my mother is a vet (兽医). We have lots of animals on our farm like ducks, chickens, pigs, sheep, cows and horses.

②I love living in the country. I don't mind getting up early every day. I'm old enough to help my parents with the work on the farm. I love feeding ducks and chickens. It's not difficult at all. It takes me about a quarter of an hour to give them fodder every morning, but first I have breakfast myself. Sometimes I also help my dad milk the cows, especially on weekends.

③My brother and I go to a local primary school (小学). My mother always drives us to school and picks us up when lessons are over, at 3 o'clock.

④On Wednesdays, I have a karate (空手道) class so I go back home by bus. When I come back, I do my homework first and then help my parents with the animals or in the garden. We usually have dinner at six o'clock. After dinner, I often play computer games or watch TV. Before I go to bed, I always read for a while but not too long because I have to get up early the next day.
