22、 On Tuesday, Chinese health authorities confirmed the sixth death from the coronavirus which shares genetic similarities with the one responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome, and revealed that 15 medical workers in Wuhan had been infected, with one in a critical condition. The number of people known to be infected continues to rise with new cases still being reported.
With the head of the Chinese government expert team saying on Monday that human-to-human transmission has been confirmed and the Spring Festival travel rush under way, in which hundreds of millions of people will be crisscrossing the country and traveling overseas for the holiday, it is widely expected that more cases, and even deaths, will be reported in the days to come.
The new coronavirus has already been classified in the same category as the SARS outbreak, meaning compulsory isolation for those diagnosed with the disease and the potential to implement quarantine measures on travel, which shows that the authorities are prepared and resolved to safeguard people's health.
The World Health Organization has so far given a thumbs-up to Chinese efforts. It said earlier this month that it was "reassured of the quality of the ongoing investigations and the response measures implemented in Wuhan, as well as the commitment to share information regularly".
The coronavirus has so far spread to three other Asian countries, which indicates the urgency for medical scientists all over the world to work together against the common threat to human health. Epidemics know no borders and a local disease could easily morph into a global crisis, which is why the WHO is holding an emergency committee meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to declare an international public health emergency.
The speed of response is testimony to improved global preparedness for such epidemics. Now concerted efforts based on the experience accumulated by Chinese health experts and their foreign counterparts during the joint fights against such epidemics as SARS, swine flu and avian flu are needed to win the fight against the latest health hazard.
【1】What do we know about the coronavirus according to the passage?
A．It is the same virus that led to SARA.
B．The Spring Festival travel rush will not worsen the control of the virus.
C．Whether it can be transmitted from person to person is still not known.
D．Carriers diagnosed with the virus should be quarantined.
【2】What does the underlined word “morph” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Translate.
B．Crash.
C．Change.
D．Divide.
【3】What is the WHO’s attitude towards the efforts made by China?
A．Dissatisfactory.
B．Favorable.
C．Pessimistic.
D．Unpredictable.
【4】What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?
A．The entire world is now being threatened with coronavirus.
B．The speed of response and preparation for emergency should be largely improved.
C．More experienced experts are needed to ensure the victory of the battle against the virus.
D．Combined efforts from home and abroad should be made to fight against the epidemics.

24、Wearing a caveman mask, Dr. John Marzluff walks across the campus at the University of Washington in Seattle. Crows (乌鸦) circle and squawk (尖叫), diving at him and away.
Beneath the mask, he smiles. Days before, he and his students, wearing caveman masks, trapped them and placed colored plastic bands on their legs. Then they released the unhappy birds. When the researchers wandered around campus without the masks, the crows they had caught and banded did not react to them. But when the same humans walked by while wearing the masks, the crows scolded loudly and dived at their “enemies”.
At first, only the banded birds reacted aggressively to the people in masks. But in later tests, more and more crows joined in, and even when the banded birds were not around. “Crows think and dream, fight and play, reason and take risks,” he says. “Their antics confuse us.”
This led him to study how crows’ brains work. He and his students wore one type of mask as they captured crows and brought them into the lab, training them to link that face with danger. Then a different kind of mask for more positive activities, such as feeding and caring. Then he worked with scientists at the university who scan animal brains to see which parts of a crow's brain do certain tasks. Surprisingly, the scientists found that when the crow saw the “danger” mask, one part of its brain became active. When the crow saw the “care and feeding” mask, a different part of its brain lit up. The team has shown that crows use the same parts of their brains for recognition that humans do — something that was not known before!
More than 10 years after the first mask experiment, campus crows still scold the “cavemen”. Crows also recognize people who are kind to them. Crows are always watching us... and they remember.
【1】Why does Dr. John Marzluff smile?
A．He intends to show his kindness.
B．He realizes his trick has worked.
C．He is amused by the happy crows.
D．He is embarrassed at the crows’ response.
【2】What does the underlined word “antics” in the third paragraph probably refer to?
A．Ways of behaving.
B．Hunting types.
C．Flying models.
D．Chances of survival.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe the crows according to the text?
A．Sociable, intelligent and observant.
B．Noisy, dangerous and annoying.
C．Reasonable, cautious and aggressive.
D．Strong-headed, proud and popular.
【4】What can we conclude about crows from the fourth paragraph?
A．They share the same wisdom as humans do.
B．They never forgive those who once hurt them.
C．They only recognize the people who are bad to them.
D．They perform tasks with different parts of their brains.
