26、Coronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the disease, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.

As fears over the coronavirus pandemic spread, there’s one question that comes up again and again — how bad is it really? The severity of symptoms can vary dramatically, from a mild sniffle to a hellish feeling of suffocation.

Here are some of the coronavirus patients' stories:

Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73

Jaimuay Sae-ung was the first Thai national to contract coronavirus, becoming ill in December.She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia (肺炎) while in quarantine.After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.

Carl Goldman, 67

Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and later tested positive for coronavirus.He said the virus “hasn't been that bad”.He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” during his flight back to America and was quarantined on his return.He said: “The sickest I've ever been was when I had bronchitis (支气管炎) several years ago.This has been much easier — no chills, no body aches.I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy nose.“My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells.If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now has no symptoms, but is still testing positive.

Marc Thibault, 48

Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spain last month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home.A week later he was diagnosed with coronavirus.He said the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”.Marc, a school vice principal, said: “You feel like you're asphyxiating, and you’re panicking because you can’t breathe.He added that he felt “one inch from death” and remains in intensive care.

27、Goodbye, Columbus by Philip Roth

I had read American Pastoral three times and I was filled with so much respect and fear towards the book that it frightened me when it came to my own writing. Then one day it hit me that it wasn’t the first thing he’d written, so I picked up Goodbye, Columbus. It’s amazing to think of Roth, published at 26, and to see how much he grew by the time he wrote American Pastoral. The fact that you could have people just be extremely excited was a really calming, influential thing for me. It made me want to write.

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

I connected so much with that character as a young girl. As I got older, I realized that the settings of books that I love most are always the spiritual description. I still come back to this book all the time because of the vulnerability(脆弱性) in there. Every time I write now I think about that feeling that you get from some books, that you’ve really been let into the most frightened and quiet corners of someone’s soul.

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

I remember reading The Silence of the Lambs. There’s nothing more terrifying than someone who is intelligent and dangerous. He even had that longing to eat humans, which was terrible, but the magic was that he’d then say these really insightful things. I wouldn’t have written anything if I hadn’t read the line, “We strongly want to have what we see every day,” in my head. I loved the frightening insights into the possibilities of what’s existing unseen around you.

【1】Why did the author decide to read Goodbye, Columbus?

A.It taught him how to write. B.The book is highly spoken of.

C.He was touched by Roth’s books. D.He was full of admiration for the author.

【2】What affected the author’s writing in the second book?

A.The setting of the book. B.The description of spirit.

C.The weakness of people. D.The background knowledge.

【3】What kind of book is The Silence of the Lambs?

A.A fairy tale. B.A love story. C.A science fiction. D.A horror story.

28、   Last year, Donald J．Trump made history when he took office as the 45th president of the United States． At 70 years old, he became the oldest elected president． Before Trump, Ronald Reagan was the oldest person to take office． He was 69 years old when he became president in 1981．As the first billionaire president, Trump also replaced John F．Kennedy, the 35th president, as the richest man to serve as president．

Kennedy still holds the record for the youngest person to be elected president． He was 43 when he took office． Kennedy is also the youngest president to die in office． He was assassinated (暗杀) in 1963 when he was 46．

Another presidential assassination actually put the youngest person in the office of the president． In 1901, Theodore Roosevelt, then the vice president, became president at the age of 42．He took office after William McKinley, the 25th president, was shot and killed in Buffalo, New York．

Another Roosevelt holds the record for the longest time in office． Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president, held office for 4,422 days． After his death, the 22nd amendment (修正案) was passed． It limited a person to two four-year terms as president． The two Roosevelts were distant relatives.

But they were not the first relatives to both serve as president． That title belongs to the Adams． John Adams was America’s second president． His son． John Quincy Adams was elected as the nation’s sixth president．

The Bushes are the other father-son presidential pair． George Herbert Walker Bush was elected as the 4l st president. His son, George W. Bush. was the county’s 43rd president．

Not everyone can run for president． The U.S. Constitution (宪法) says that person must be at least 35 years old． A person must also have lived “within the United States” for at least 14 years． And they must be a “natural-born citizen”．

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.

One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.

Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
