More than 100 people have now died from the new coronavirus (冠状病毒)-COVID-19. The number of people infected in mainland China increased sharply in one day-from 2, 700 Monday to more than 4,500 Tuesday. The increase comes even as China takes strong measures to stop the spread of the disease.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause disease in mammals (哺乳动物)　 and birds. Coronaviruses can cause illnesses from the common cold to much more serious illnesses like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Experts still do not have a clear picture of the severity of the new coronavirus.

Officials are calling the disease a "novel" or new coronavirus because it has not been found before in humans. The new virus is thought to have spread to humans from wild animals sold at a market in Wuhan, in central China's Hubei Province. But it is now spreading between people. Chinese officials say the disease is able to spread from one person to another even before any actual signs appear. This makes it especially hard to stop.

Signs of the disease among infected patients have included fever, cough, shortness of breath and general breathing difficulties. In more serious cases, the virus can cause pneumonia（肺炎）. Some people report few or no signs, while others have gotten very sick or even died. Experts say that signs of the virus may appear between two and fourteen days after being near someone who is infected.

There is no special treatment for the new coronavirus. However, many of its effects are treatable, as long as a patient is in fair health. Because the virus is so new among humans, there is no available vaccine(疫苗) to protect against the disease. But the World Health Organization advises people to avoid close contact with anyone showing signs of a breathing sickness, such as coughing or sneezing. It also says people should wash their hands often and use safe food practices.

A new Chinese coronavirus (冠状病毒), a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 40,000people since the outbreak (爆发) began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals. Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(轻度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking. The virus can also be transmitted (传播) by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for the disease at this stage, which makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. Besides, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect the whole world, the influences of the novel coronavirus are huge-damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors and weakening the entire country.

To fight against the disease, as individuals, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

1.How many people have been affected since the outbreak of the new Chinese coronavirus?

2.Where does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

3.What symptoms (症状) may people have when they are affected?

4.Why are doctors and nurses required to wear strict protective clothes?

5.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

When we are born, we are given names that stay with us for our whole lives. Some names include good wishes and hopes from parents, while others may be special and easy to remember. But do you know how the new coronavirus got its name?

The task of naming a virus is no less important than naming a person. When a disease breaks out, the official(官方的) naming of a new virus is often late and may lead to many problems. Over the past ten years, some improper names have caused problems. In 2009, the "swine flu(猪流感)" was widely used before the official name, HINI virus, was announced. This led Egypt to kill all of its pigs even though it didn't spread among people who hadn't been near pigs. In 2015, the name MERS(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, 中东呼吸综合征)made people of this region angry.

So in 2015, the World Health Organization(WHO)announced that the names of viruses should be easy to remember but avoid being named after places, people, animals and foods. Following these rules, the new coronavirus we are suffering from was named "COVID-19" by the WHO on Feb 11, 2020. In this name, "CO" means "corona", "VI" sands for "virus" and "D" means "disease".

1.When our parents name us, they __________.

A.often put their hopes on us B.try to make the names special

C.can easily remember our names D.let the names stay with us longer

2.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.Naming a virus is not very important.

B.Naming a person or a virus is a difficult task.

C.Naming a virus is as important as naming a person.

D.Naming a person is more important than naming a virus.

3.Which is true according to the second paragraph?

A.MERS killed many pigs in Egypt. B.HINI virus could spread among people.

C.A new virus isn't often named officially in time. D.Improper names caused viruses to spread widely.

4.What do we know about MERS virus?

A.It broke out in 2009. B.It was named after places.

C.It got its name from WHO. D.It made local people angry.

5.Which of the following is the main idea of this text?

A.How does WHO deal with viruses? B.Why does a new virus have a name?

C.What have viruses done to the world? D.How did the new coronavirus get its name?

On May 27th, the national cultural office dropped management of vendors and other roadside businesses in the city as a requirement for deciding if ạ city can be given the civilized city" title. In less than a week, one city after another has introduced polices (政策) that will benefit (使受益 )vendors and a wide group of other people and will also raise the economy (经济).

The first to benefit are job—seekers. In Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, which is famous for its rich kinds of snacks, the policy created 100,000 new jobs overnight, and 100,000 households have got a better income.

Vendors do not have to spend money renting ( 租用) a place. All they need is a 2 square meters of space by the roadside for two to three hours in the evening. And all the money they make from it goes to them or their families. However, that does not mean common shops will lose customers. The two kinds of businesses are different parts of economy.

Office——goers too will benefit. Instead of having to wait in a long line at a supermarket, they can now snack from a vendor after a whole day in the office. They can appear from a subway station and grab a cake or get off a bus and buy some handmade ice—cream.

City management officials, or chengguan are also doing less stressful jobs now. Earlier, their job was to drive away vendors doing businesses without licenses. They are now more helpful, making sure that vendors are dealing with their garbage before shutting business for the day and looking for space for vendors at a place with no traffic problems or which won' t cause traffic problems.

But that will need more wisdom and more services to the people, which in turn requires the local governments' wisdom. Time for them to be creative!

1.What does the underlined word vendors mean in Chinese?

A.店主 B.民工 C.小贩

2.How many kinds of people will benefit from the new policy on vendors according to the passage?

A.2. B.3. C.4.

3.The city management officials now do the following jobs EXCEPT ________.

A.driving away the vendors

B.looking for a safe space for vendors

C.asking the vendors to sort garbage

4.We can infer from the passage that

A.the office—goers do not have to wait in line at a supermarket anymore

B.the vendors can do businesses anywhere they want

C.the government is becoming more and more supportive

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.How about being a vendor? B.Our convenient life C.How to be a vendor?

Have you ever seen a solar panel（太阳能电池板）in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power（给……供电）their homes.

However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time?

Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls（滚动）down, it creates friction（摩擦力）on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity.

Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”

The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible, which are as soft as clothing.

The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels（液体和气体燃料）.

1.Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world?

A.Solar energy. B.Water energy. C.Wind energy.

2.What is one of the problems of common solar panels?

A.The price of them is rising.

B.They can’t work all of the time.

C.They can hardly power people’s homes.

3.Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful?

A.It has a larger size than a common one.

B.It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy.

C.It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions.

4.What does the underlined word “flexible” mean in Paragraph 5?

A.柔软的 B.光滑的 C.坚硬的

5.We can infer（推断）from this text that ________.

A.there is no room for developing solar energy

B.there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy

C.solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy
