25、   As the novel corona-virus (新型冠状病毒) spreads throughout China and the rest of the world, an important question has yet to be answered: where did the virus come from?

The latest study showed that pangolins (穿山甲) may be an intermediate (中间的) host of virus, according to Xinhua. However, bats are suspected to be the original cause.

"We don't know the source yet, but there's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin corona-virus," said Peter Dazsak, president of Eco-Health Alliance, an environmental nonprofit (非营利机构), according to The New York Times. "When you look at the genetic sequence (基因序列) of the virus, and you match it up with every known corona-virus, the closest ones are from bats," Dazsak also told CNN.

So why are bats the source of so many deadly kinds of viruses and why don't they suffer from any symptoms (症状)? Bats are mammals (哺乳动物) that have a long lifespan (寿命) and live with millions of other bats in caves, where they can potentially spread the virus far and wide. As the only lying mammal, their body temperature is high, similar to a fever It's this fact that may contribute to bats' unique immune system (免疫系统) in protecting from the ill effects of viruses.

But are bats truly to blame for the virus or should we be blaming ourselves? It's the fault (错误) of humans for decreasing (减少) the distance between us and virus-carrying bats. Bats are an important animal in our ecosystem (生态系统) when it comes to pollinating (授粉) many fruits such as mangoes, bananas and avocados. We need to allow them to continue pollination and keep them away from our markets and mouths.

【1】What can we learn about the origin of COVID-19?

A.Bats have been discovered to be its original cause.

B.Pangolins are now considered the most likely source.

C.It's confirmed by comparing sources of several different viruses.

D.The virus was found to be genetically similar to those see in bats.

【2】Why don't bats suffer from the corona-virus?

A.Their low body temperature protects them.

B.Bats have a unique immune system.

C.Bats are the only flying mammal to live in groups.

D.Living in caves helps bats fight against viruses.

【3】What is the main point the author makes in the last paragraph?

A.Virus-carrying bats should be killed.

B.Humans should stay away from bats.

C.Bats benefit but also harm our ecosystem.

D.Bats could spread Viruses during pollination.
