25、   With the COVID-19 epidemic hitting China, many of you might want to know more about the virus. The disease is caused by a newly-found type of coronavirus (冠状病毒). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. The word “corona” comes from Latin and refers to crowns. When people first saw a coronavirus under a microscope (显微镜), they found that its spikes (刺突) made it look like a crown. That’s how the virus family got its name. Some coronaviruses cause disease in humans; others spread illness among animals, including camels, cats and bats.

We have found seven types of coronavirus that can infect(传染) humans so far. Four of them are common and cause respiratory (呼吸道的) illnesses such as mild flu. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can evolve (进化) and then spread among people, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS，中东呼吸综合症) and SARS(非典). The novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), which was first found in Wuhan, is the seventh one.  

【1】Why was the virus family named coronavirus?

A.Because it didn’t exist before.

B.Because it was found by a Latin scientist.

C.Because coronaviruses have crown-like spikes.

D.Because coronaviruses can only be seen under a microscope.

【2】COVID-19 is the seventh coronavirus that  _____.

A.has ever been found on Earth

B.can infect humans

C.can spread among animals

D.doesn’t harm wild animals

【3】What do we know from the story?

A.It’s easy for animals to spread coronaviruses to humans.

B.Mild flu is the most common illness caused by coronaviruses.

C.All coronaviruses cause respiratory illnesses.

D.MERS was also caused by a type of coronavirus.

26、   In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(积极的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.

The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of  sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. People in cities don’t live positively

B. People in that village live a very poor life.

C. The people in that small village are hopeful about the future.

D. The writer didn’t want to do volunteer work there.

【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most likely refer to?

A. Especially excited. B. Badly ill.

C. very crowded. D. seriously scared.

【3】What can be the most important in the eyes of the people there?

A. Family values. B. Physical health.

C. Good living condition. D. Children’s education

27、Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession(职业) trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount（总数） of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kristen Stewart—Actress

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”

【1】The underlined word “ distractions” probably means ________.

A. good habits

B. things that make one tired

C. words to enjoy

D. things that turn one’s attention away

【2】The same character of the three people is________.
