A
The first group of 30 patients was admitted to Wuhan's Leishenshan Hospital yesterday (February 8), which means that two makeshift hospitals for fighting the new pneumonia—Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital—were put into use. The two hospitals only have inpatients and don't have outpatients. The target patients are the ones with novel coronavirus pneumonia confirmed in hospital.
Let's go back to the afternoon of January 23, 2020. Wuhan's Urban Renewal Authority (URA) has called a special meeting for the construction of a special hospital for new pneumonia patients, including the China Construction Third Engineering Division. Two days later, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Wuhan new CAP epidemic prevention and control headquarters again held an emergency dispatch meeting and decided to build another hospital named Leishenshan within half a month.
The construction of the two hospitals is a race to the death against the epidemic. Under the eyes of 100 million “cloud supervisor” , we admire the speed of the construction of these two hospitals, but the hardships and strength behind are far beyond our imagination. As of February 5, more than 1,000 managers and 8,000 operators were working day and night, namely 24 hours of seamless construction work, and there was a continuous flow of more than 1,400 sets of large-scale mechanical equipment and transport vehicles on the spot.
Some builders walk more than 34,000 steps a day. Work models include “day plus night”, “5+2”, “two shifts”—work 24 hours on end a day. The last unit has just finished laying sand on the site, the next unit immediately enters the field to lay anti-seepage membrane. Dozens of jobs are involved. There are too many units and individuals involved in the construction. No matter how great or small their contributions are, they are all trying to fulfill their own responsibility, social responsibility or corporate responsibility.
篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了火神山医院和雷神山医院的相关建设情况。
1.What can we learn about the Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital from the passage?
A.Their target patients are the novel coronavirus pneumonia confirmed in Wuhan.
B.Leishenshan Hospital received the first 30 patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia.
C.People with fever can get treated in the two hospitals.
D.They just receive the confirmed cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia from other hospitals.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,雷神山医院收治其第一批患者共30名,意味着两家医院都投入使用,而不是指雷神山医院接收最先的30名患者,故B项错误;根据第二句可知,火神山与雷神山医院均只设住院,不设门诊,救治对象为各医院确诊的新型冠状病毒肺炎患者,故A项和C项错误。故选D。
2.What does the underlined word “makeshift” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Changeable. B.Temporary.
C.Fast. D.Mobile.
答案:B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“fighting the new pneumonia”并结合背景信息可知,此处表达的是“为抗击新冠肺炎建设的临时医院”。temporary与此意义相近,故选B。

A.Leishenshan Hospital was completed first.
B.Huoshenshan Hospital was the last to put into use.
C.Only large-scale units participate in the construction.

答案:D 细节理解题。根据前两段内容可知,火神山医院先投入建设和使用,然后是雷神山医院,故A、B两项错误;根据最后一段中的“There are too many units and individuals involved in the construction.”可知不只有大型单位参与其中,故C项错误;根据第三段可知,医院的建设有一亿“云监工”的注视,由此可知有很多人关注这两所医院的建设情况。故选D。
