As the Delta variant (变 体) spreads throughout communities in Asia, Europe and the United States, another variant, Lambda, is spreading rapidly throughout South America, Forbes reported on Aug 10.On May 31, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a naming system for variants of COVID-19 that uses letters of the Greek alphabet (字母表). Before that, the public had to call a variant its scientific name or refer to it based on where it was identified.For example, a variant of COVID-19 identified in South Africa in late 2020 was called variant 501Y.V2 or B．1.351. Media also called the same virus “the South African variant”. Now, everyone calls it “Beta”.Compared to complicated scientific names, the Greek letters are much easier to remember. “It is a lot easier for a radio newsreader to say ‘Delta’ than bee-one-six-one-seven-two,” Jeffrey Barrett, a UK statistical geneticist told Nature.WHO hopes this change will help stop the stigma (污名) associated with geography-based names. “I can understand why people just call it ‘the South African variant’ — they don’t mean anything by it,” Salim Abdool Karim, an epidemiologist in South Africa, told Nature. “The problem is, if we allow it to continue, some ill-intentioned people may take advantage of it.” “No country should be stigmatized for detecting and reporting variants,” Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s COVID-19 technical lead, wrote on Twitter.As the virus is still evolving, 11 variants have been named so far. What if the 24 Greek letters are not enough? “We will possibly run out of the Greek alphabet, but we’re already looking at the next series of names,” Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph. “We’re actually considering star constellations(星座).”Currently, the Virus Evolution Working Group and WHO’s legal team are double checking proposals to “make sure we don’t upset anyone with these names”, Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph.11．What do Lambda and Delta have in common?A．They are both chosen by Greek scientists.B．They are both confusing to understand.C．They are both Greek names of varieties of COVID-19.D．They are both the places where COVID-19 was found.12．What does Salim Abdool Karim probably agree with?A．The virus should be named after the place where it is found and spread.B．No country should detect or study COVID-19 without WHO’s permission.C．People felt uncomfortable when they call COVID-19 “the South African variant”.D．Some people with bad intention may judge other countries reporting COVID-19.13．Why are scientists looking for the next series of names?A．Because the naming system in use is not convenient.B．Because the variants may outnumber the Greek letters.C．Because people are more curious about star constellations.D．Because it is illegal to rename the variants with letters.14．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce new ways of renaming COVID-19 varieties.B．To describe how scientists identified the varieties of COVID-19.C．To explain why some people prefer geography-based names.D．To arouse people’s awareness of more COVID-19 varieties.15．In which part of a magazine could you find this passage?A．Science. B．Travel.C．Sports. D．First Aid.DWelcome to your future life.You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to 150, so, at 40, you aren't old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老）treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age.You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035,“smart clothes” contain particles(粒子） much smaller than the cells(细胞）in your body. They can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk from the fridge, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the smart chip(芯片）that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old.
