26、If you or people around you have had a fever recently, don’t panic as it may not be the coronavirus. The influenza (流感) virus and the norovirus are probably to blame.
This winter, the US saw a peak in influenza infections. Data released by Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control showed that influenza was the most prevalent (流行的) virus in Beijing between Feb 13 and 19. Symptoms (症状) of influenza are fever, cough, runny nose, body aches, etc.
However, a report showed that the positive rate in the reported influenza-like cases was 23 percent, which was lower than the 34 percent from the same period last year. Influenza symptoms can disappear after 3-7 days for the majority of people. Yet influenza vaccines can easily solve the problem. Antibodies (抗体) are able to be formed two to four weeks after entering the body.
Norovirus can be another cause of fever. Symptoms mainly involve diarrhea (腹泻) and vomiting (呕吐). It spreads through the poop or vomit of an infected person. However, the norovirus isn’t scary as most people can recover within two to three days. Seeing a doctor is a must if the patient experiences dehydration (脱水), with symptoms such as having little urine (尿液).
Regardless of the type of virus, learning to prevent and control the spread is important for everyone. It includes three measures: protecting the vulnerable (脆弱人群), controlling the source of infection and cutting the spread. For example, healthy members of a family need to disinfect (消毒) the environment and air out rooms while taking care of the sick.
【1】What is an effective solution to influenza infection according to the text?
A.Eating healthily.
B.Getting vaccinated.
C.Drinking plenty of water.
D.Avoiding public places.
【2】What are the main symptoms of norovirus?
A.Cough and runny nose.
B.Sore throat and body aches.
C.Diarrhea and vomiting.
D.Fever and having little urine.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Suggestions for infected people.
B.The necessity to contain the spread.
C.Ways to stop the spread of viruses.
D.People who are at risk from the viruses.

28、Reading is to success what water is to fish. Apparently, every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is the key to get the information required to understand something. For example, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to people’ s needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.
Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading.
How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to improve your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading---reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t capture (捕捉) the message of the author?

29、If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.
Every year it's the same.As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life.But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year.You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here's a suggestion: Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones.“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps. Even though it's so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can't find any excuse not to do it.”
“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes(态度). During World War Ⅱ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding(重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it“Kaizen”, which means”improvement”.
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it: “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

One 【1】 of classic literature is that it often reflects an author’s own experiences and can therefore help us understand 【2】 of his or her time.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few years ago,we adopted(收养) a lovely dog whom we named Gypsy. We didn’t know her age, background, or how she ended up wandering the streets of a large southern city with no owner. But we felt sure she’d had a difficult life, as she moved back whenever we wanted to touch her. She seemed particularly afraid of strange men. Gradually, Gypsy adapted to her new home with us, and she followed me around everywhere I went silently. Nothing seemed to make her bark (叫),but we thought she was just a quiet dog as she seemed happy with us otherwise.
Not long after we brought her home, I had an operation on my leg. Gypsy seemed to dislike the coming and going of doctors, and visiting nurses-especially the males. She was still silent, but she barked at the ones she liked least. This led us to believe it must have been a male who had mistreated her before.
One day about a year after my operation, I was in the bathroom giving Gypsy a bath. Suddenly,I fell onto the floor. Luckily,I fell between the tub(浴盆) and water pipe. If I had hit one of them, I feel certain that would have been the end of me.
Unfortunately, I had no way to seek for help. The door was closed, and I didn’t have my phone with me. My husband wouldn’t be home from work for hours, so I did the only thing I could think of: I started shouting for help as loudly as I could.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gypsy was clearly confused(困惑的) by my shouting.
