24、 The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has already made a number of people sick. Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.
Bats can carry and transmit (传播) more than 60 viruses that can infect(传染) humans, Live Science noted. They include the world's deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and HIV. Because of their strong immune systems (免疫系统), bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time, the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (变体). These variants can then infect new hosts, such as other wild animals.
Pangolins (穿山甲), for example, might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP, according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins, with pangolins then spreading it to humans.
Wild animals like snakes, hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry different virus. But since they live in the wild, there should be little chance for humans to come into contact with them and get infected - unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt, buy and eat wild animals, they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.
But this doesn't mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the ecosystem (生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.
【1】Why can bats host many viruses without getting sick?
A.Because these viruses are not deadly. B.Because they have strong immune systems.
C.Because the viruses are kept in balance. D.Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.
【2】According to a recent study, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from _________.
A.pangolins B.snakes C.hedgehogs D.bamboo rats
【3】What does the underlined word "harmony" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.隔离 B.伤害 C.和谐 D.集中
【4】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?
A.Research more about wild animals. B.Exercise regularly to stay healthy.
C.Stop keeping animals as pets. D.Don't buy or eat wild animals.

27、Miguel gathered his guitar and all the Ernesto de la Cruz albums he could carry and rushed down from the rooftop. His family surrounded him when he reached the yard.
Abuelita’s eyes darted from the guitar to the albums. “What is all this?” she said. “You keep secrets from your own family?”
“It’s all that time he spends in the plaza,” Tio Berto said.
“Fills his head with crazy fantasies,” Tia Gloria added.
“It’s not a fantasy (幻想)!” Miguel protested. He handed his father the old photograph of Mama Imelda, Coco, and the unidentified (未知身份的) man and pointed to the guitar. “That man was Ernesto de la Cruz! The greatest musician of all time!”
“We’ve never known anything about this man. But whoever he was, he still left his family,” Miguel’s father said. “This is no future for my son.”
“But, Papa, you told me to look to the ofrenda (灵坛). You said my family would guide me! Well, Ernesto de la Cruz is my family! I’m supposed to play music!”
“Never! That man’s music was a curse (诅咒)! I will not allow it!” Abuelita said, raising her voice.
“You will listen to your family. No more music,” added Miguel’s father.
“Just listen to me play – ” “End of argument,” Papa said.
Miguel thought they’d change their minds if they heard him play. He lifted his guitar and prepared to strum, but Abuelita snatched it from his hands. She pointed to the photo. “You want to end up like that man? Forgotten? Left off your family’s ofrenda?”
“I don’t care if I’m on some stupid ofrenda!” The words burst out before Miguel could stop them. He couldn’t take them back, even though he wanted to.
The family gasped. Abuelita’s brow hardened. She raised the guitar in the air.
“No!” Miguel cried.
“Mama,” Miguel’s dad said just as Abuelita smashed (撞击) the guitar against the ground.
“There! No guitar, no music,” she said.
The whole family was silent as Miguel stared at his guitar, shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground. Miguel couldn’t move — he felt like someone had smashed him to pieces.
