三、阅读单选

22.The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP,新型冠状病毒肺炎) outbreak in China was caused by a new coronavirus that we have never seen before. It was first found in the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, where a variety of wild animals were on sale. People who sold and bought animals illegally were the first to be infected.

Scientists have found that the virus likely came from bats and was then spread to humans from pangolins (穿山甲). According to Live Science, bats can carry and spread more than 60 viruses that can infect humans. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and SARS. But bats have special immune systems that allow them to live with viruses without getting sick. Other wild animals like snakes and hedgehogs (刺猬) are also hosts of many viruses.

There have been calls for people to stop eating wild animals. However, the danger is not just in eating them, but also in touching them. People can get infected if they come into contact with the body fluids (体液) of wild animals. People who hunt, kill, sell or eat these animals run the risk of becoming infected.

Keeping wild animals as pets or selling parts of their bodies as animal products also create risks for humans. It is highly possible to come into contactwith the body fluids of wild animals in this way.

“Trade and consumption of wild animals of all kinds should be banned,” Zeng Guang, chief epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China Daily. “Otherwise people will suffer.”

【小题1】According to scientists, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.

A．PangolinsB．snakesC．hedgehogsD．bamboo rats

【小题2】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?A．Research more about wild animals.C．Stop keeping animals as pets.

B．Exercise regularly to stay healthy.D．Don’t buy or eat wild animals.

23. Jane slammed the door of the log cabin (小木屋) raced toward the Indiana woods. Mother and Father insited that Jane go to school and learn to read. It was September of 1825, and Jane wanted to help on the farm like her brothers. Therefore, she told her parents “No!” and refused to learn to read.

Jane scooped (捧起) up her long skirts and splashed (溅起水花) through a small stream. Running helped her collect her thoughts, so she ran for what seemed like hours. She dashed around a tree and wasn’t paying attention. As a result, she tripped (绊倒) over a pair of long legs stretched out in the grass.

The legs belonged to her neighbor, Abe Lincoln. Abe was leaning (斜靠) against a tree reading a book. He smiled, stood up, and extended his arm to help Jane up.

Jane recognized Abe and knew what a hard-worker he was. But she also heard he was not like the other sixteen-year-old boys in Perry County. Abe was different because he spent all of his spare time reading books.

“Why are you running so fast?” Abe asked. “Are you hurt?”

Jane frowned (皱眉). “No, I’m all right,” she said. “I’m running because I’m upset. My parents want me to learn to read, and I told them no!”Abe looked down at his book and then at Jane. “Reading can change your life,” he said quietly. Meet me here tomorrow, and I’ll prove to you how important reading is.”

27. Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for peopleto receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own countryand all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they choose some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about somekind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor （因素） is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to readstories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.Title: Ways of 【小题1】the newsHundreds of years ago

Walking or 【小题2】horses to carry the news were the main ways. Sopeople must wait for long time to 【小题3】the news.

※People can learn about what is 【小题4】in their own country and all over the world by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Fast and convenient ways today

※It’s hard for the newspaper editors to decide which news storiesto choose and print. Comparing( 比较 ) to the TV, newspapers can give【小题7】about the same story.

※Newspapers always print some interesting and 【小题8】stories toattract the readers

※The third factor is also very important, many people have 【小题9】in news in foreign countries. Chinese newspapers aren’t the 【小题10】as British, French and American newspapers.

七、单词填空

28. 首字母填空

Some people have very good memory and can easily learn quite long poems( 诗) by heart. O 【小题1】have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a 【小题2】.
