新冠肺炎疫情“吹哨人”李文亮医生去世 年仅34岁
 
A Chinese doctor who was accused by police of warning fellow doctors about the initial coronavirus outbreak has died of the illness, according to Wuhan Central Hospital. Li Wenliang, 34, a doctor at Wuhan Central Hospital, was “unfortunately infected during the fight against the new coronavirus infection,” the hospital said on its social media account. “We deeply regret and mourn this.”
He died early on Friday despite an "all-effort rescue" after contracting the virus Jan. 30, according to The People's Daily. The World Health Organization said, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate the work that he did on the virus.”
In a posting on social media, Li alerted fellow doctors Dec. 30 about the emergence of a SARS-like illness, warning them to wear protective clothing to avoid infection, the newspaper said. The coronavirus in Wuhan has claimed 565 lives among more than 28,300 cases.
Four days later, Li was accused of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order". Police said he was one of eight people under investigation for "spreading rumors" . Authorities later apologized to Li, who became a national hero as a whistleblower as the illness spread.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that China should praise the eight Wuhan whistleblowers. "They were wise before the outbreak," though any judgment needs to be backed by scientific evidence. The Supreme People's Court criticized the police for their actions, saying that although the initial reports by Li and others about a possible SARS outbreak were wrong, they were a useful alert that should have been allowed. "If the public listened to this 'rumor' at that time and adopted measures such as wearing a mask and avoiding going to the wildlife market, this may be a better way for us to prevent and control the new disease today."

A. He died from a traffic accident.

D. He lost his social media account.
2. How did the World Health Organization feel about Li’s death?

3. What did Li ask people to do when he found the SARS-like illness?
A. To try not to be infected.

C. To blow the whistle aloud.
D. To read the newspaper fast.

C. They should find scientific evidence.

“长征五号”火箭成功发射 为更雄心勃勃的太空计划铺平道路
 
China announced the successful launch of the Long March 5 rocket on Friday, sending a communication satellite into Earth's high orbit, according to Chinese state media CCTV. The successful launch of the rocket on its third attempt could pave the way for more ambitious space projects such as missions to the Moon and Mars, along with a manned space station.
China developed the powerful rocket, which is designed to carry 25 tons of payload into low orbit, with the aim of launching a Mars probe in 2020. But the Long March 5 project, originally announced in 2001, suffered lengthy delays due to funding challenges and difficulties in developing new technologies for the first Chinese launcher to fully use liquid propellant.
A second test of the rocket failed in 2017, threatening to delay the country's push to become a leading space power. Earlier this year, China completed its first public test of a Mars lander, keeping the country on track for an unmanned exploration mission to the red planet next year.
The country was late to the space race—it didn't send its first satellite into space until 1970, just after the United States put the first man on the moon. But in the decades since, China has spent billions of dollars and other resources into research and training. In addition to the Mars mission, China has been actively pursuing lunar exploration.
The Chang'e-4 lunar probe successfully touched down on the far side of the moon in January, a historic first and major achievement for China's space program. In 2020, the next lunar mission is due to land on the moon, collect samples and return to Earth, while preliminary plans are underway for a manned lunar mission in the 2030s. If successful, China would become only the second country, after the United States, to put a citizen on the moon.
 
1. What will the Long March 5 rocket be used for?
A. The missions to the Sun.
B. The manned space station.
C. The research in state media.
D. The communication between stars.
2. “The red planet” in the third paragraph may refer to _______.
A. the Earth
B. the Sun
C. the Moon
D. Mars
3. How did China make progress in space race?
A. It sent first satellite into space in 1970.
B. It carried out the research and training.
C. It experienced the rocket failure in 2017.
D. It would continue with lunar exploration.
4. What is the aim of 2020 for China space research?
A. To touch the far side of the moon.
B. To build up the manned space station.
C. To enjoy the major achievement in space.
D. To collect samples from the moon.
