Part of the answer, according to a new study, is relate
13、d to the first flu strain we encountered in childhood. Scientists from UCLA and the University of Arizona have found that peoples ability to fight off the flu virus is determined not only by the subtypes of flu they have had throughout their lives, but also by the sequence(顺序)in which they have been
14、 infected by those viruses. Their study was published in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. The research offers an explanation for why some people become much worse than others when infected with the same strain of the flu virus. In addition, UCLA scientists, including Professor James Lloyd-Smi
15、th, who was also a senior author of the PLoS Pathogens research, recently completed a study that analyzed travel-related screening for the 2019-nCoV(新型冠状病毒). The researchers reported that screening travelers is not very effective for the 2019-nCoV that it will catch less than half of infected travel
16、ers, on average and that most infected travelers are undetectable, meaning that they have no symptoms yet, and are unaware that they have been exposed. So stopping the spread of the virus is not simply a matter of enhancing screening methods at airports and other travel centers. “This puts the onus
17、on government officials and public health officials to follow up with travelers after they arrive, to isolate them and trace their contacts if they get sick later,” said Lloyd-Smith, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. “Many governments have started to impose quarantine(隔离), or eve
18、n travel bans, as they realize that screening is not sufficient to stop the spread of the 2019-nCoV. ”One major concern, Lloyd-Smith said, is that other countries, especially developing nations, lack the infrastructure and resources for those measures, and are therefore vulnerable to importing the d
19、isease. “Much of the public health world is very concerned about the virus being introduced into Africa or India, where large populations exist that do not have access to advanced medical care,” he said. 5. What is the significance of the scientists research?A. It explains the cause of the flu virus
20、. B. It reduces the risk of people being infected. C. It analyzes peoples ability to fight off the virus. D. It stops the spread of the flu virus all around the world. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段可知这项研究解释了为什么有些人在感染同一种流感病毒后病情会变得比其他人严重得多。原因在于人们抵抗流感病毒的能力不仅取决于他们一生中经历的流感的子类型,还取决于他们被病毒感染的顺序。因此这项研究分析了不同的人抵抗病毒有不同的能力。
21、6. What do we know about the 2019-nCoV from Paragraph 3?A. Travelers are at high risk of being exposed to it. B. It is more difficult to stop its spread than expected. C. Most travelers infected with it are detected by screening. D. It spreads especially quickly at airports and railway stations. 【解析
22、】选B。推理判断题。根据第三段可知对旅客进行筛查,对于新型冠状病毒并不是很有效平均来说,只能检测到不到一半的旅客感染了这种病毒而且大多数受感染的旅客是无法检测到的,这意味着他们还没有任何症状,也不知道自己已经接触过这种病毒。因此要阻断其传播比我们预计的要难得多。7. Why does the writer mention Lloyd-Smiths words in Paragraph 4?A. To persuade people not to travel. B. To provide a method to kill the virus. C. To show the harmful ef
23、fects of the virus. D. To stress the responsibilities of officials. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。Lloyd-Smith认为政府官员和公共卫生官员有责任在旅行者抵达后对他们进行跟踪,隔离他们,并在他们随后患病时追踪他们的接触者,因此D 项“强调了政府的责任”是正确答案。8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph?A. Easy. B. Impossible. C. Responsible
24、. D. Indifferent. 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。由前文的“缺乏采取那些措施的基础设施和资源”,可知这些国家很容易输入这种疾病。. 完形填空 When I was a kid, I loved to sing and showed a talent for the drama.

What if she fails? Will it defeat her? What if she performs in front of an audience and forgets the 8 to a son
