  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 (测定序列) 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 (同时地) 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 (有适应力的) 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.

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.

【回答】

51．C

52．B

53．A

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。在新型冠状病毒爆发期间，城市被封锁，边境被关闭。相反，科学正变得越来越开放。而这种“开放科学”已经在发挥作用。我国与全世界分享新冠病毒的科学数据，极大助力了全球科研人员对病毒的研究。

51．细节理解题。根据第一段中Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open.“相反，科学正变得越来越开放。”由此可知，C项，并非边界公开，而是科研成果公开。故选C。

52．细节理解题。根据第二段中Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform,“相反，他们把这些序列放在开放存取的数据平台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*公司也在分享他们的研究结果。”由此可知，ac符合题意。故选B。

53．推理判断题。根据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，科学正变得越来越开放。而这种“开放科学”已经在发挥作用。”和最后一段中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*公司也在分享他们的研究结果。最初由美国吉利德科学公司研发的治疗埃博拉病毒的*物Remdesivir被发现有望对抗新型冠状病毒。”可知我国与全世界分享新冠病毒的科学数据，极大助力了全球科研人员对病毒的研究。故选A。
