27、 How to Prevent New Coronavirus(冠状病毒)?
New coronavirus is a member of the coronavirus family that cause conditions like the common cold, SARS and other respiratory(呼吸的) conditions. While new coronavirus can be serious, taking preventative measures can help you protect your health at home.
Wash your hands with soap and water to minimize your infection(感染) risk. 【1】 Wet your hands with warm water, then apply a mild soap. Work the soap for 20-30 seconds, and then wash your hands clean under warm running water.
Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. You may come into contact(接触) with the new coronavirus on a surface, like a door handle or countertop. When this happens, the bacteria can stay on your hands, so you can easily infect yourself if you touch your face with dirty hands. 【2】
Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing. 【3】 Additionally, coughing and sneezing both release the virus into the air, so they may increase your risk of infection. Keep your distance from people who appear to have symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.
Disinfect high-touch surfaces daily by using a product that kills viruses. Unfortunately, new coronavirus can stay on surfaces, such as door handles and countertops. 【4】 Make sure the surface stays wet for about 10 minutes so it effectively kills the virus. This limits the risk of the virus staying on the surfaces and potentially causing an infection.
【5】 Information about new coronavirus has spread on social media, sometimes causing unnecessary fear. It’s helpful to fact-check your information before making any decisions.
A.Try not to worry too much if you’re not truly at risk.
B.Don’t run the risk of handling an animal that might be ill.
C.Use a spray disinfectant or wet wipes to clean the surfaces daily.
D.Call your doctor if you suspect that you are hit by new coronavirus.
E.Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth in case the virus is on your skin.
F.The best way to prevent new coronavirus is to wash your hands as often as possible.
G.Since new coronavirus is a respiratory infection,coughing and sneezing are common symptoms.
28、 We don't choose our siblings（兄弟姊妹）the way we choose our partners and friends. Of course，we don't choose our parents either，but they usually make that up to us by accompanying us on the way to adulthood. Brothers and sisters are just sort of there. And yet，when it comes to our development，they can be more influential than parents.
Whether these relationships make our life better or worse is a more complicated question. On the upside，positive interactions with siblings during adolescence foster（培养）empathy，prosocial（亲社会的）behavior，and academic achievement. However，when a sibling relationship is bad，it can be really bad. Tense sibling relationships make people more likely to be depressed and anxious in adolescence. Moreover，sibling bullying makes a kid involved in self-harm as a teen and develop mental problems in adulthood.
Whether a person models himself after his siblings or tries to distinguish himself has particularly important consequences. One study found that siblings who felt positive about each other tended to achieve similar education levels while those who spent unequal time with their dad and got unequal parental treatment had different educational fortunes. That difference is changeable. One the one hand，as siblings' relationships with their parents grow more different over time，their relationship with each other may become warmer. On the other hand，following your sibling can be a mistake: teenagers are more likely to be involved in risky behavior if an older sibling did so first.
One way or another，sibling influence is lasting. A study of more than I million Swedes found that one's risk of dying of a heart attack multiplies after a sibling dies of one，due not only to shared DNA but also to the stress of losing such a key figure. The findings make sense: Most of us are different people than we’d have been if our brothers or sisters were never born.
【1】Sibling bullying is mentioned in Paragraph 2 to indicate__________.
A.the complicated situation of sibling relationships
B.the major cause of tense sibling relationships
C.the typical example of the sibling relationships
D.the negative influence of bad sibling relationships
【2】We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that _________
A.sibling relationships play a significant role in one's life
B.enough parental attention ensures higher education levels
C.following older siblings does great harm to teenagers
D.sibling relationships have little to do with their parents
【3】What is the main idea of the passage？
A.Siblings are precious gifts from parents.
B.Sibling relationships are easy to handle.
C.Sibling influence is strong and lasting.
D.Siblings have negative effects on one's life.
29、Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.
Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.
There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”
But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.
【1】What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?
A．The season after winter.
B．Being young and healthy.
C．A tightly wound metal coil.
D．To occur or appear quickly.
【2】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origin of the word “spring”
B．The meaning of the season “spring”.
C．Some expressions with the word “spring”.
D．Some characteristics of the season “spring”.
【3】How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”?
A．Angry.
B．Surprised.
C．Happy.
D．Frightened.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Being young is a great advantage in career development.
B．Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.
C．Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.
D．Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.
Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.
All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.
Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.
While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.
Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

Knowledge is free on the Internet at a small but 【1】 number of colleges and universities. About 160 schools around the world now put free course materials on the web to the 【2】. Recent additions in the United States 【3】 projects at Yale, Johns Hopkins and the University of California, Berkeley.
Berkeley said it would offer videos of lectures on YouTube. Free videos from other schools are 【4】 at the Apple iTunes store.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree. Some materials from a course may not be available, and the site does not provide 【8】 with teachers. Still, MIT says that the site has had forty million visits by thirty-one million visitors from almost every country. Sixty percent of the visitors are from outside the United States and Canada. Students and educators use the site, including students at MIT. But the largest number of visitors, about half, are self-learners.
Some professors have become well-known around the world as a result of 【9】 online. Walter Lewin, a physics professor at MIT, is 【10】 popular. Fans enjoy his entertaining lectures. MIT Open Course Ware now includes materials for high school. The aim is to improve education in Science, Technology, Math and Engineering.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.
The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.
It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.
Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often 【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.
Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

41、阅读下列短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex (性别) and appearance are produced from the same original eggs. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones.
Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is simple while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough—the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the process of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were depressed to find that Dolly’s illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animals. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the original sheep.
On the other hand, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of objection and had a great influence on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human being.
Governments became nervous and more conservative (保守的). Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us.
