Some Phrases That Defined 2020
For the first time since 2004, when Oxford Languages, the publisher of the O.E.D., started choosing a Word of
the Year 2020, it declined to pick just one. We couldn't pick one, either. But here are some words and phrases that
we think capture what it felt like to be alive in 2020,
Blursday
The passage of time itself became seemingly unreliable this year, as some days felt like a week while some
months flew by in an instant. Our friends even launched a newsletter called "What Day Is It?"
Remote learning
Farah Miller, an editor, shares her family's experience with remote learning this year. "Schools shuttered
without a plan for how to teach homebound kids. My preschooler was given five worksheets and a list of activities
she couldn't possibly do on her own. Or are they really remotely learning? That was the question I, along with
parents across the US, found myself asking in the spring.”
Social distancing
As experts learned more about the spread of the virus "6 feet" became the golden number; the distance we
should stay away from others to prevent the spread of COVID-19, yes, but also a shorthand for how to navigate
socialization in the new world.
Zoom
Up until around March of this year, Zoom was unknown to the public. Then the home became the office for
millions of Americans, and our social lives moved entirely online. Almost overnight Zoom emerged as the go-to
platform for private citizens, religious services and universities. "We Live in Zoom Now," The Times even
declared.
1. In what situation can the word "blursday" be used according to the passage?
A. One is anxious about humans' future.
B. One misses the good old days.
C. One fails to choose a word to define 2020
D. One is not sure what day it is.
2. What's the attitude of Farah Miller to remote learning?
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful.
C. Curious. D. Satisfied
3. What does Zoom most probably function as?
A. An online platform keeping people's social activities.
B. An app reminding people of "6 feet" social distance.
C. A newsletter to update the information of COVID-19.
D. A hi-tech instrument to keep track of people's health.
B
In the first days of my honeymoon, I travelled to Vasto, a small town with its beautiful landscape in central
Italy, to retrace the same steps my great-grandmother Filomena walked after her own wedding, almost 100 years
earlier.
Vasto wasn't on my radar in the early stages of planning my honeymoon, but when learning that it wasn't far
from the month-long route, I considered a visit. How could I be so close and not see where Filomena came from?
Anyway, I'd been so busy planning my own wedding that I didn't have much time to think about what it meant to be
married. As I was trying to figure out what a new family might look like, it also made sense to turn to the past.
The story of my family I knew started when Filomena set foot in New York by ship in 1922. But after I
travelled to Vasto where she grew up, the starting point of her story shifted. I began to consider Filomena as a
young, adventurous woman planning a new life far from home. Her husband, Domenico, had already gone ahead to
work there. She had no other family in the US, and yet she was prepared to get on a boat in Naples and sail into the
unknown. Her willingness to see what could remind me of marriage: you don't have to know what's coming next,
you just need to want to go.
Then we visited the edge of a valley near Filomena's house. In 1956, part of the world Filomena grew up in
almost disappeared during a landslide. When she returned for visits later in life, she saw a landscape different from
what she had remembered. Even the things we expect to be permanent aren't always so.
A few days spent walking in Filomena's footsteps, knowing all the unexpected turns that life threw at her over
five decades of marriage, I realized that you can never plan for life's uncertainties or crave an outline for the future.
If that kind of anxiety somehow creeps back in, I'll think of Filomena on the deck of a steam ship, uncertain, but
moving forward anyway.
4. Why did the author go to Vasto during her honeymoon?
A. To find out what the lifestyle was like there.
B. To explore the true meaning of marriage
C. To reunite with her great-grandmother there
D. To enjoy the scenic beauty of Italy
5. What did the author find about her great-grandmother?
A. She never expected a life abroad.
B. She felt scared of the marriage
C. She dared to challenge a new life ahead.
D. She knew well what her future was like
6. What inspiration did the changed landscape bring to the author?
A. Humans need to protect the nature.
B. The power of nature is hard to control.
C. Things always go smoothly as expected.
D. Life is always full of uncertainties.
7. How will the author react to the misfortunes in her life after the visit to Vasto?
A. Check the situation and make plans for it
B. Follow Filomena's footsteps and keep going.
C. Predict how things will go and avoid the bad.
D. Evaluate the uncertainties and change them.
C
China launched a large robotic spacecraft on Nov. 24, 2020 at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in South
China's Hainan province, tasking it with landing on the moon and bringing back lunar samples, 44 years after the
last time such substances were brought back to Earth.
If everything proceeds smoothly, about 2 kilograms of stones and soil will be collected and packed in a
