They consist of a core of genetic material(遗传物质) surrounded by an envelope with protein spikes(蛋白棘突). This gives it the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called “corona” and that’s how these viruses get their name. In this text, we’ll take a quick look at what’s currently known about the virus.‎ Covid-2019‎ The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, first reported December in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, has quickly spread across the country and around the world. It initially occurred in a group of people with pneumonia(肺炎) who’d been associated with a seafood and live animal market in the city of Wuhan.‎ Intermediate hosts(中间宿主）: The Covid-2019 may originate in bats, a team led by renowned Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli said earlier, while the intermediary host remains unknown.‎ Incubation period( 潜伏期): usually 1-14 days.‎ Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.‎ SARS-CoV The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus was first identified in China in 2003.‎ Intermediate hosts: Bats are the original host. Civet cats serve as an important intermediary that carries virus from the winged mammal to humans.‎ Incubation period: 2-7 days.‎ Infection: Virus spread after symptoms show.‎ MERS-CoV The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (中东呼吸综合征) coronavirus was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012.‎ Intermediate hosts: MERS-CoV was travelled from dromedary camel to humans.‎ Incubation period: 2-14 days.‎ Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.‎ ‎21.

He could not play football or other games with boys of his age.All that he did was to watch Sumer and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class.‎ Sumer was tall and athletic. He showed great enthusiasm for sports, spending most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was a member of the school's football team and cricket team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.‎ One day, the two friends went for a walk. Rajan got tired soon.‎ ‎“I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge? if I am not healthy? I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you," said Rajan.‎ Sumer was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself too? I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams. ”‎ The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time, “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill. ”‎ ‎24.

I examined Coco and found he was old and had a ‎ serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia(安乐死) would be best for the dog.‎ On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.‎ The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.‎ Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up(大声说): “I know why.” He said, “People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued,“Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long. ”‎ I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.‎ ‎28. Which of the following would be best for Coco in the clinic?‎ A. Some delicious food. B. Euthanasia.　 C. A good friend. D. An interesting toy.‎ ‎29. How can we understand Eric’s words?‎ A.

Nobody gave a soft-hearted explanation why animals’ lives are so short.‎ C.The writer first didn’t know why animals live a short life.‎ D. Eric’s explanation made a great difference to the writer.‎ ‎31. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.‎ A. the vet didn’t do anything for Coco B. the vet makes an effort to live a life C. the vet has lived a fullest life D. the vet will keep more dogs D People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup.Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold：nothing really cures it.‎ So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor，professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week，improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit，USA Today reported.‎ It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work.They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus.To do that，the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.‎ The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.‎ ‎“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses，”study leader Professor Ann C．Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons US, told Science Daily.‎ Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected，different from that of other cold viruses.‎ With the model in hand，hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon，we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.‎ ‎32.What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?‎ A．They are quite effective.‎ B．They are slightly helpful.‎ C．They actually have no effect.‎ D．They still need to be improved.‎ ‎33．How do antiviral drugs work?‎ A．By breaking up cold viruses directly.‎ B．By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.‎ C．By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.‎ D．By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.‎ ‎34．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.‎ B．Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.‎ C．Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.‎ D．Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.‎ ‎35．What is the best title for this passage?‎ A．Drugs against cold viruses B．Helpful home remedies C．No current cure for common cold D．Research on cold viruses 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分)‎ When I arrived in Britain, I could hardly order food in English.
