英语试题 05-03
There were far fewer cars on the streets and crowds were not seen in the shopping malls in Central China's Wuhan on Jan 24 — the Eve of the Chinese New Year. The scene was quite different from the occasion in the previous years because of the novel coronavirus, which had resulted in 41 deaths in China by the end of New Year's Eve, mostly in Wuhan, according to the National Health Commission.
Chen Li, a doctor in a Wuhan hospital, spent the Chinese Lunar New year's Eve at home to quarantine herself for having had contact with infected patients, but luckily she has no signs of symptoms for the time being. Chen's husband is at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic (流行病). "We haven’t seen each other for over a week,” said Chen. On Saturday morning, she put on protective clothing again and returned to work.
Wuhan is following Beijing’s SARS treatment model in 2003 to build a makeshift hospital with 1,000 beds for receiving infected patients. It will be completed and put into use prior to Feb 3, less than 10 days away. “It’s going to be another all-nighter. We need to speed up the work,” said Lyu Jun, a young truck driver at the construction site. This is his first Spring Festival away from home.
For ordinary people, this year's Lunar New Year's Eve lacks some gatherings. Yin Yeqiong, from Hunan Province, refunded (退掉)her tickets back home after much debate. “I had it in my mind to still go home, but finally decided to stay in Wuhan,” she said. “Our stay will help reduce panic in other places."
Doctors, nurses and experts from across the nation have been selected to join the battle, and manufacturers have restarted their plants to produce medical consumables that have been running short in many places.
“This is going to be an unforgettable Spring Festival,” said Chen Ying, a writer. ''Because I feel that at this moment, there are so many families that I do not know, in every corner of this city, praying for our home."
