26、   The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases，with similar symptoms including fever and cough，but they aren't the same.

Both the CoVID-19 and flu are diseases caused by a virus. In the case of flu the pathogens（病原体）are flu viruses，and for COVID-19，it is a novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）.

Common symptoms for flu and novel coronavirus are nearly identical-fever，cough and tiredness sometimes sore throat and diarrhea.

As for the novel coronavirus，the median age for the infected is 51.But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age.

Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways，by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes.

FIu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. As for the novel coronavirus，spread might be possible before people show symptoms，but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

For the novel coronavirus，there is also a risk for aerosol transmission（气溶胶传播）In health facilities，people may catch the virus if they breathed in aerosol, the suspension of find solid or liquid particles in the air, which have been contaminated by the virus.

27、   I watched my Dad close the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown (封锁) starting on January 23.

The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggests that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday.

On their second day away my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own.

But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to go into quarantine (隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19.

Everything there was hectic (忙碌的), there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes.

They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way. And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them are just three or four years older than me.

When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.”

【1】When did the author’s parents leave her for the hospital?

A.January 23. B.January 30. C.January 31. D.February 2.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “make it” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Succeed. B.Join in. C.Arrive. D.Survive.

【3】What can we learn according to the passage?

A.Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19.

B.The majority of the patients understood the doctors and nurses.

C.The patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired.

D.The author didn’t get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older.

【4】What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage?

A.Admirable. B.Outgoing. C.Impatient. D.Adorable.

28、For years, spring in our town was announced by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, after their winter short-stay in Florida, they would post the words “Now Hiring” on their sign. I would walk past, see the sign, see Leon and Jo readying for their spring opening, and feel winter’s icy veil (面纱) lift from around me. It was as accurate an indication of spring as any calendar, and when they died and their children sold the Dairy Queen to someone who kept it open year-round, it threw off our town’s circadian (生理节奏的) rhythms something terrible. We’re still not sure when spring begins.

Well, that’s not entirely accurate. When the tool store on the west edge of town, where Johnston’s IGA grocery store used to be, stops selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers, that’s a pretty good sign winter’s ruling has loosened.

There are other signs of spring if one is watchful. The deer lighten in color, the dog sheds, the buds swell, the snow melts on the south hillside, and the calf appears, tied to its mother by bonds of hunger. The farmer casts the manure (肥料) upon the field, thoughtfully provided by the aforementioned calf and mother. Who needs a calendar when a calf is nearby?

Nothing seems impossible in spring—a cure for cancer, weight loss. Anything can happen, and often does. I proposed to my girl-friend a dozen times and was denied each time, so I waited until spring and raised the question a 13th time, and she said ‘‘yes’’. Engaged one spring, married the next.

【1】How did the people in the town know the coming of spring?

A．They were told by Leon and Jo Martin.

B．They read the best calendars of the world.

C．They saw the shop-owner preparing for business.

D．They found Leon’s family coming back from Florida.

【2】What does the writer mainly want to convey in the last two paragraphs?

A．His gird-friend is rather stubborn.

B．It is not a proper time to lose weight.

C．One can only propose marriage in spring.

D．There’re signs to strengthen coming of spring.

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Why I Love Spring

B．How I Know It’s Spring

C．A Year’s Plan Starts with Spring

D．Changes Take Place in My Town

32、阅读以下文章，并撰写文章的概要。

The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new." As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, "says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.

Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.

Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.

Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!

Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
