19、a (NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing the NCPs symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu, but its potentially more dangerous.Viruses could be deadly, like HI
20、V and Ebola. But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble?Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they cant reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take
21、 over.Viruses can infect every living thing from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noticeable reaction.Vi
22、ruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But th
23、e basic question is, where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult”, Ed Rybicki, a virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses dont leave fossil
24、s and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells theyve invaded”.However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA
25、or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible ex
26、planation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.4. What can we learn about viruses from the text?A. Viruses have nothing to do with the common cold.B. Viruses are really small living organisms
27、.C. Viruses cant reproduce unless they find a host cell.D. Viruses enter our bodies mainly through the mouth, nose and hair.5. Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?A. They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.B. They evolved from parasites into independent organisms.C. T
28、hey evolved from the T-cells in animals.D. They evolved along with their host cells.6. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. reasonableB. commonC. creativeD. unbelievable7. What can we conclude from the text?A. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in anima
29、ls.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.D. The author is optimistic about future virus research.【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了关于COVID-19新型冠状病毒肺炎的传播途径、病毒起源的研究情况。研究表明病毒自身无法传播，是通过宿主细胞来感染的；目前关于病毒起源的解释有三种主要的假说
30、，但都还处于理论阶段。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike human cells or bacteria, they cant reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. （与人类细胞或细菌不同，它们不能自己繁殖。相反，它们侵入生物体的细胞来繁殖、传播和接管）”可知，病毒自身不能繁殖，只有找到宿主细胞才能繁殖。故选C项。【5题详解】细节理解题。第七段是关于病毒起源的三种假说。其中第三种假说是“Third
31、, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.”可知，研究认为病毒与宿主细胞共同进化，并且与这些细胞共存。故选D项。【6题详解】词句猜测题。第七段中提到“there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.”，以及第八段中“these are only theories”。可知，关于病毒的起源，现在都只是处于理论阶段。现在的技术和数据对于病毒的起源还无法作出“合理的”解释。
32、因此可以猜测plausible意思为“合理的”。故选A项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.（后续的研究可能会给我们提供更清晰的答案。或者未来的研究可能表明，答案甚至比现在看起来的还要含糊不清的。）”可以推断，要找到病毒的起源还需要很长一段时间。故选C项。CShoppers in the United

45、，传统零售店和目录商店的区别是在目录商店中，购物者从大目录中挑选他们需要的商品。故选B项。【9题详解】细节理解题。题目需要我们判断购物者在目录商店购物的正确程序。根据文章第四段内容“First, they go to a counter to find the stores catalog.”可知，首先，他们要去柜台找商店的目录，与选项“Find a catalog at a counter.”描述一致；根据文章第五段内容“They look in the catalog to find the exact item they wish to buy.”可知，接下来，他们在商品目录中查找他们想
46、买的商品，与选项“Check the catalog to select the items.”描述一致；根据文章第六段内容“Then, they fill out an order form with”可知，然后，他们需要填写一份订单，与选项“Fill out the order form.”描述一致；根据文章第七段内容“After completing the form, the customer gives it to a salesperson, who checks to see if the item is in stock.”可知，填写完订单后，顾客把它交给销售人员，检查商品是否

48、根据最后一段关键句“Customers need to know about the features and the quality of the items they wish to buy before they shop, since there isnt much opportunity to ask questions or examine the product in the store.”可知，顾客在目录商店购买商品前需要了解他们想要购买的商品的特性和质量，因为在店里没有太多的机会去提问或检查商品。由此可推断出，在目录商店的购物者应该提前了解商品的信息。故选D项。【11题详解】
49、细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“However, catalog stores offer quality items at lower prices, and consumers seem to appreciate this.”可知，目录商店以较低的价格提供高质量的商品，消费者似乎很欣赏这一点。由此可推断出，目录商店受欢迎主要是因为它们以较低的价格提供高质量的商品。故选A项。DRecently, a case of lifeboat ethics occurred.

54、nswer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog.

62、，相反对于同类却往往选择性地产生同情。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段前三句“We have strange relationships with our pets. We look after our pets with great love and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies.”可知，我们和我们的宠物有着奇怪的关系。我们用极大的爱照顾我们的宠物，而且它们比数十亿人得
63、到的更好的医疗保健。我们用和婴儿说话一样的高音和宠物说话。即人类对宠物的态度是史无前例的，越来越关心，越来越重视。故选D项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Its great story, but it doesnt strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grab
64、bed their Rosie first.”可知，在第一段讲述的故事后，作者表示这并没有新闻价值，因为这种事并不显特别，从而引出近期的一项研究，把话题转入了人类对于宠物的态度上，即引出了文章主题。故选C项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“We have strange relationships with our pets.”可知，我们和我们的宠物有着奇怪的关系。再根据“As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the kind treat
65、ment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.”作为我们对宠物感情的一个极端例子，纳粹有严格的法律，保证犹太人被送往死亡集中营时，他们的宠物会受到善待。由此判断出这里列举出就连纳粹也会善待犹太人的宠物。就是在说明人类和宠物之间的奇怪关系。故选C项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We can extend sympathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But lets not be too proud of ourselves. As this
66、 study and too much of our history show, were pretty selective about how we extend our kindness to other human beings.”可知，作者指出人类对于宠物有着极强的同情心，但是在面对同类时却是有选择地作出同情，显然作者认为这是不合理的，需要进行反思的。由此判断出作者的主要观点是我们应该重新思考我们对待动物和人类的态度。故选B项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项How to write a
