問題詳情：

  During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.

Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (測定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could  download them for free and start studying the virus.

Due to this openness, pharmaceutical ( 制 * 的 ) companies across the globe are now able to work simultaneously (同時地) to develop a vaccine. “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有適應力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”

Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.

51．Which of the following statement is not the main things the epidemic has caused?

A．Cities are locked down.

B．Borders are closed.

C．Borders is becoming more open to fight against it.

D．“Open science”plays an important role.

52．What are mentioned as the examples of “open science” in this part?

a. A research team from Fudan University placed the sequences of the virus onto an open access data platform.

b. Companies across the globe share their developed vaccine.

c. Major drug companies share their study results.

d. US company Gilead Sciences developed drugs to treat Ebola.

A．ab                         B．ac                          C．bc                          D．cd

53．What if Chinese scientists kept the information to themselves?

A．The research process could be delayed and the chance of defeating the virus would be lessened.

B．They could let the world download the information for free.

C．The world could develop the vaccine more quicker than now.

D．Chinse scientists could work to help the world.

53．A

【分析】

這是一篇記敍文。在新型冠狀病毒爆發期間，城市被封鎖，邊境被關閉。相反，科學正變得越來越開放。而這種“開放科學”已經在發揮作用。我國與全世界分享新冠病毒的科學數據，極大助力了全球科研人員對病毒的研究。

51．細節理解題。根據第一段中Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open.“相反，科學正變得越來越開放。”由此可知，C項，並非邊界公開，而是科研成果公開。故選C。

52．細節理解題。根據第二段中Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform,“相反，他們把這些序列放在開放存取的數據平台GenBank上，”和第四段中Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results.“世界各地的主要制*公司也在分享他們的研究結果。”由此可知，ac符合題意。故選B。

53．推理判斷題。根據全文尤其是第一段中Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.“相反，科學正變得越來越開放。而這種“開放科學”已經在發揮作用。”和最後一段中Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus.“世界各地的主要制*公司也在分享他們的研究結果。最初由美國吉利德科學公司研發的治療埃博拉病毒的*物Remdesivir被發現有望對抗新型冠狀病毒。”可知我國與全世界分享新冠病毒的科學數據，極大助力了全球科研人員對病毒的研究。故選A。
