EACH DECEMBER.the Oxford English Dictionary(OED)nominates(提名)a word describe the year which had just passed.In 2019.the OED needed two words;climate emergency.For 2020,there was another kind of emergency-COVID-19- but this time he OED needed forty words to describe it.Yes,2020 has been a very unusual year that hasn't been easy to describe.
    Two of the obvious words the OED has suggested have been "pandemic" and "lockdown".The former appeared,of course,because COVID-19 has spread around the world,and the latter because the life-threatening disease has brought most of human activity across the globe to a standstill.Businesses have been closed,travel stopped,and people have had to stay in their homes for weeks or even months on end.
    2020 has undeniably been a bad year,but I would like to describe it in a more positive way,so I nominate "cooperation" and "hope" as my words of the year.
    As the pandemic began to spread,there was a great deal of cooperation between countries and international health organizations.They shared information about the virus and how it could be contained.And countries shared medical supplies and equipment with other countries which needed them.China took a leading role in this effort by sending masks and protective clothing to Canada,the United States and Europe,as well as to countries in the Middle East and Africa.Without this cooperation,the pandemic,bad as it has been,could have been much worse.
    And that brings me to my second word:hope.Even though COVID-19 is still around and will continue to affect our daily lives for at least a little longer,we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.Vaccines have been developed against the coronavirus and,with a little "hope," we will get to see the world begin to return to normal.
    2020 is over;2021 awaits us.With "cooperation" and "hope," it should make for a wonderful year.

(1)Why has the OED suggested "lockdown"?
Because the life-threatening disease has brought most of human activities across the globe to a standstill.
Because the life-threatening disease has brought most of human activities across the globe to a standstill.

(2)What does the author mean by "we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel" in Paragraph 5?

Vaccines have been developed against the coronavirus and,with a little "hope," we will get to see the world begin to return to normal.
