阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines（疫苗）to help protect people against the COVID-19. They are making progress, and some vaccines have been ready.

There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the COVID-19 are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.

Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different periods. In Period 1, a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects.

Period 2 still tests the vaccine's safety, but it's mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work. If Period 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Period 3. During Period 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works.

Because of the serious and worldwide influence of the COVID-19, there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It usually takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. However, Chinese scientists spent only about half a year to create working vaccines. And many people have got the vaccine so far.

请阅读下面全文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Experts in nutrition(营养)suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce(减少)the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own？Here are several good reasons：

You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your "food miles", the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen.Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth.

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers(化肥)and pesticides(农药)which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different.You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit.

These often have more of the vitamins, minerals(矿物质)and protein(蛋白质)that keep you healthy.

And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony(阳台). Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage(排水)and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

Happy gardening!

No matter where you are, humans are always checking time. Some of us are good at it—planning and doing things way ahead of time(提前), while others are always in a hurry. And that's only if you're on time. What if you are late?

So, how late is late? Many cultures take timekeeping very seriously, while others seem to accept lateness as just a common way of things. In different countries, people's opinions are different. In Latin America, things may happen five minutes, twenty minutes，an hour or even two after they were planned. In Sri Lanka, lateness is a part of the daily habit. In Rwanda, this is a place where it is not unusual to arrive at 11 a.m. for a meeting which started at nine.

On the other hand, German and Japanese people have a stricter view about time. In Japan, it is common to arrive ahead of time to attend a meeting. Those who arrived at nine to a meeting starting at nine a.m. would be late in other people's view. In Germany, however, if a dinner party were to begin at eight, a person who arrived five minutes earlier may walk around the block to make sure that they get there at eight on time, without being too early or late.

How late is too late?

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

    Somecountries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called theGreat Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fightthe bad environment.

    The wallis 8,000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in thewest to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has madethe best progress by planting about 11,000,000 trees.

    Many yearsago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. Itwas harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants couldgrow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, thetrees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness (湿度) of the air. Little by little,there appeared green fields for people to grow plants.

    Theproject which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8,000,000,000dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting.So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the nearfuture!
