A

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses. They consist of a core of genetic material(遗传物质) surrounded by an envelope with protein spikes(蛋白棘突). This gives it the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called “corona” and that’s how these viruses get their name. In this text, we’ll take a quick look at what’s currently known about the virus. 

Covid-2019

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, first reported December in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, has quickly spread across the country and around the world. It initially occurred in a group of people with pneumonia（肺炎） who’d been associated with a seafood and live animal market in the city of Wuhan.  

Intermediate hosts: The Covid-2019 may originate in bats, a team led by renowned Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli said earlier, while the intermediary host remains unknown.

Incubation period(潜伏期): usually 1-14 days.

Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.

SARS-CoV

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus was first identified in China in 2003 .

Intermediate hosts: Bats are the original host. Civet cats serve as an important intermediary that carries virus from the winged mammal to humans.

Incubation period: 2-7 days.

Infection: Virus spread after symptoms show.

MERS-CoV

The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS中东呼吸综合征) coronavirus was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012.

Intermediate hosts: MERS-CoV was travelled from dromedary camel to humans.

Incubation period: 2-14 days.

Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.

21. What might be the intermediate hosts of the Covid-2019?

  A. Bats.     B. Mosquitoes      C. Camel.     D. Unknown yet.

22.Which kind of coronaviruses spreads after symptoms appear?

 A. The Covid-2019.    B.  MERS-CoV. C. SARS-CoV.      D. All Coronaviruses.

23. What can we learn about coronaviruses ?

 A. Bats are to blame for the outbreak of all the three coronaviruses.

 B. Mers-Cov were first identified in China.

 C. SARS-Cov has a longer incubation period than Mers-cov.

 D. The Covid-2019, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are all listed as coronaviruses.

In the trailer (拖车式房屋)，Sischo was refreshing the snails’(蜗牛)accommodations--an ongoing routine that takes days of careful work. He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides--a third of the world's population of the species. Once every individual was accounted for, he cleaned the cage and packed in new leaves. The work took much trouble, but the responsibility, he said, was like “a heavy weight sitting on you.”

The trailer is very vulnerable. It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogon(病原体)appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost the entire species. As sad as the event was, there’s no good way to insure against future catastrophe. The snails can’t simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment, experienced handlers, and a diet of native Hawaiian plants.

Consequently, it can be hard for the snails' caretaker to relax, even when he is outside the trailer. “How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction?" Sischo said. While action lightens the burden, yet with animals whose natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. "If you do it wrong, the snails die.”

Snails are neither intelligent nor beloved. Sischo's friends sometimes tease him about being "the strange snail guy; strangers ask why he cares. It's hard to convince people, but he insists that if he can just get them in the trailer, they will understand why the Achatinella bulimoides are worth saving. "People melt," he said，“When you show them that the entire population is in this chamber, it hits them."

24. What is the trailer used for?

A. Accommodating guests B. Sheltering snails

C. Planting vegetables. D. Alarming thieves.

25. What does the underlined word “vulnerable" mean in paragraph?

A. Quite B. Safe. C Easily affected. D. Well protected.

26. What is the snail minder' attitude towards his job?

A. Relaxed B. Confident. C. Cautious D. Disapproving

27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. The Last of Its Kind B. The Worst of Times

C. Mourn Its Loss D. Resist Possible Dangerous

C

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater or to a video store to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. You were hopping into your car, driving across town and coughing out emissions(排放)and using gas all the way.

But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a little cocky. After all, we’re just picking up our phones or maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome. Mother Nature.

Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 3.9 miles. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video," digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Stored in data centers, videos are transferred to our terminals such as computers, smart phones, etc. via networks. All these processes require electricity whose production consumes resources and usually involves CO2 emissions.

In the European Union, the Eureca project lead scientist, Rabih Bashroush, calculated that 5 billion downloads and streams of the song "Despacito" consumed as much electricity as the countries of Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic used in a single year.

Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more attached to our devices. Online video use is expected to account for 80% of all internet traffic by 2022 according to CISCO. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.

You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there are things you con do to help lessen the impact of your online use.

Here are some tips:

※Disable autoplay(自动播放) for video on social media.

※Stream over Wi-Fi, not mobile networks.

※Watch on the smallest screen you can.

※Don’t use high-definition(高清)video on devices.

28. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that people think .

A. they should welcome Mother Nature

B. watching movies at home is more fun

C. it is inconvenient to drive to a movie theater

D. streaming at home avoids possible emissions

29. We may learn from the text that .

A. driving 3.9 miles may produce 3.5 pounds of CO2

B. digital technologies account for 4% of electricity use

C. Online video use makes up 80% of all internet traffic

D. 60% of the world’s population watch videos online

30. Why are the five countries mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To praise their energy-efficient practice.

B. To prove the poverty of the five countries

C. To show the high energy use of downloads and streams

D. To stress the popularity of the song “Despacito”

31. How can people help to save energy when streaming?

A. Use high-definition videos. B. Turn off video autoplay

C. Stream over mobile networks. D. Watch movies on bigger screens.

D

Computers are increasingly competing against humans to see whether man or the machine is more intelligent．In the latest show of artificial intelligence or AI，a computer went up against humans in live，public debates．The debates — held in San Francisco，June，2018 — provided a new example of how computers are fast improving to think and sound more like humans．

An AI system developed by major technology company IBM participated in the event．It is called Project Debater．IBM said it is the first time ever that an AI system has competed in a live， public debate with humans．Two separate debates were held between a computer and two human debaters．

The company preselected possible subjects for discussion，but said neither the computer nor the humans knew the chosen subject before the debate．The discussions were set up in a similar way to most political debates．After preparing arguments，both sides got the chance to present a four-minute opening statement．Then came four-minute rebuttals(反驳)，followed by closing statements．

In one debate，IBM’s computer battled Noa Ovadia，a former national debate champion．The AI system made a case in favor of the government subsidizing(补贴) space research．It pulled in evidence from its huge supply of information from newspapers，journals and other sources．Ovadia took the opposite position，arguing that the government could better serve the people by providing financial assistance to programs other than space exploration．

Following closing statements from both sides，reporters and other attendees gave their opinions on the results．IBM reported that a majority of those who watched the debate said they believed Project Debater had improved their knowledge of the subject more than the human debater．On the other hand，the human debater got praise for better communicating her ideas．

32．Why was the debate between man and the computer held?

A．To introduce a new product of IBM．

B．To show the latest development of AI．

C．To prove the computer is smarter than man．

D．To discover public views about space research．

33．What is Project Debater?

A．A live public debate． B．A debating project．

C．A technology company．             D．An AI system．

34．What’s the audience’s view about the debate?

A．Each side has its own advantages．

B．Neither side has performed well．

C．The computer has better communication skills．

D．Ovadia has beaten the computer．

35．What might be talked about next?

A．Disadvantages of the debaters． B．Something about the second debate．

C．More views about the debates． D．Lessons learned from the debates

第二节七选五 (共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)

A Housewarming Party

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house．The person or people who bought the apartment or house or moved are the ones who throw the party． 　36　 It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like． It is an opportunity to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents．

It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party． 　37　 Some common items(物品) people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and items like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry，a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with，like， a piece of art or a plant． 　38　 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming party there isn’t a lot of food served, usually just appetizers or sandwiches．

　39　 The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home．Sometimes，because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into a new home，people may be asked to help unpack boxes．This isn’t usual though．

Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for the winter． 　40　

A．You can also bring food or drinks to share．

B．Different activities are held to make guests satisfied．

C．There are usually no planned activities at a housewarming party．

D．Now most homes substitute(替代) fires with central heating to keep warm．

E．Different people hold or attend housewarming parties for various reasons．

F．Some people register a list of things they would like to give as gifts at local stores．

G．The party is an opportunity for friends and family to congratulate the person or people on the new home．

读后续写练习 2016年10月浙江卷

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom. “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.

      With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.

      “Tom! ”she cried. “Help!”

      No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.

      Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落）somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.

      As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter.Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为l50左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1：

      But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.

Dear Jonah,

I'm glad to know you are interested in Chinese local special products and I'm more than pleased to help you buy some.

Here is my recommendation. Our tea will be a good choice, for it is beneficial to health, but I wonder whether you like green tea or black tea. Besides, various silk clothes are also popular with foreigners. Bowls, plates and cups made of china are worth considering, too. Which do you prefer? In addition, these items are of different prices. Would you like to tell me your budget on them as well as the amount you need? Please let me know the details and I will try my best to meet your requirements.

Looking forward to meeting you in the USA.

Yours,

Li HIua

The snails can’t simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment...”可知，拖车房屋很脆弱。它的设计是为了避免可能被盗，抵御飓风。但是火灾很容易摧毁它，或者疾病可以席卷它。......，但没有好的办法来防止未来的灾难。蜗牛不能简单地在动物园或其他设施中生存：它们需要特殊的设备...。这个特殊的设备就是the trailer。由此可知，这个和the trailer 是给蜗牛住的房子，是收容蜗牛，为其遮风挡雨的。分析选项可知，故B项符合题意。

【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文(各种已知信息)并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。如第2小题属于猜测词义题。根据划线词The trailer is very vulnerable后的内容“ It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogen appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.”拖车房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃，并抵御飓风。但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它，或者一种疾病可以席卷它。由此可推断出，这种拖车房屋很容易被火烧，疾病可摧毁它，所以它是易受其他因素影响的。故选C。

Mother Nature”而现在人们习惯在家里利用流媒体上看电影，也就不用开车去外面，就避免了排放。 分析选项可知，家庭流媒体避免了可能的气体排放。故选D。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 3.9 miles. ... digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions,” 看半小时的节目要排放3.5磅的二氧化碳。这相当于开车3.9英里排放。数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放...。可知A项(3.9英里可能会产生3.5磅的二氧化碳)是正确。而B项(数字技术占用电量的4%)是错误的。倒数第二段“Online video use is expected to account for 80%of all internet traffic by 2022 according to CISCO. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.”到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将占所有互联网流量的80%。届时，全球约60%的人口会上网。可知，C和D项的内容是在2022年才会发生，把未做当成已发生的。故C和D是错误的。故A是正确。

【备注】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了近期在旧金山举办的人机辩论赛的相关情况，包括举办的目的，辩论的过程和人们对辩论结果的评价等。

32．B【解析】考查细节理解。文章首段中便说明了举办人机辩论赛的目的"In the latest show of artificial intelligence or AI．．． The debates — held in San Francisco， June， 2018 — provided a new example of how computers are fast improving to think and sound more like humans"，即展示人工智能的最新发展。故选B项。第二段仅仅提到参与人机辩论的人工智能是IBM公司研发的，但没有提到辩论的目的是介绍这个新产品，排除A项；根据第一段第一句"Computers are increasingly competing against humans to see whether man or the machine is more intelligent"可知，辩论的目的不是证明电脑比人类更聪明，排除C项；文章提到第一场辩论赛的主题是政府是否应该补贴太空研究，D项所表述的"了解大众对太空研究的观点"无中生有，跟举行辩论赛的目的毫无关系，故应排除。

33．D【解析】考查细节理解。第二段提到"An AI system developed by major technology company IBM participated in the event． It is called Project Debater"，由此可以得知，Project Debater指的是一个人工智能系统。故选D项。

34．A【解析】考查推理判断。文章的最后一段提到了观看辩论赛的人们对这场辩论的看法，其中大部分人认为人工智能系统提高了他们对这个辩论话题的理解，同时人类辩手能更好地传达自己的想法，即"各有所长"。最后一段只提到了观众对辩论双方的肯定，没有提到对他们的否定看法，排除B项(双方表现都不好)；根据最后一段中的"On the other hand， the human debater got praise for better communicating her ideas"可知，人类辩手传达观点的能力更强，排除C项；文中并未提到辩论赛的胜利方是谁，故D项应排除。

35．B【解析】考查文章结构。文章的第二段说明这次辩论赛有两场(Two separate debates)，接下来介绍了第一场(In one debate)的相关情况，从行文逻辑的角度可推知，随后应介绍第二场比赛的相关情况。故选B项。本题考生容易误选A项或C项，考生想当然地以为下文还是有关第一场比赛的两位辩手的，但是忽略了文章前面提到的两场辩论赛的信息。如果接下来还是介绍有关第一场辩论赛的信息，那么本文结构就不完整了，作者也就没有必要在前面提到"Two separate debates"和"In one debate"。

七选五

【备注】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了"燎锅底"(housewarming party)这一风俗习惯的意义、方式和由来。

36．G【解析】文章第一段介绍了"燎锅底"的概念及意义，空后的"It also gives people a chance to see．．．like"说明这种风俗习惯的意义，其中的"also"表明空处也是说明其意义的。故G项(这个聚会让朋友和家人有机会祝贺这个人或这些人乔迁新居)符合语境。

37．F【解析】该段的第一句引出该段主题，即参加这种聚会是要带礼物的，所以接下来就应该说明如何选礼物。空后一句中的items和put on a gift registry与F选项中的"register" "a list of things"呼应。

38．A【解析】根据上题的解释，这一段是介绍礼物的选择的。礼物的选择有两种方式，一是主人列出的，二是客人自己选择的。空处前一句介绍的是客人可以自行选择的礼物，A项中的also表明客人也可以选择其他的礼物，符合上下文的逻辑。同时，下文中的"there isn’t a lot of food served"说明可以带食物作为礼物的原因。故A项符合语境。

39．C【解析】根据空后内容可知，本段介绍了这种聚会的活动安排，空后一句中的however说明此处存在转折关系，故C项(乔迁聚会通常没有安排好的活动)符合语境。

40．D【解析】该段说明了这一风俗习惯的由来。空前讲到了送木柴以供取暖，结合选项可知，D项符合语境。

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:

But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night. Although she felt a little sad, she didn’t get fearful. She thought about Tom. “He must have called for those helicopters. Maybe he was in one of them and will come back again! I have to guide him tomorrow.” She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.

Paragraph 2:

It was day break when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter. Fortunately, she saw a huge flat rock in an open area at a distance. She rushed to the rock, climbed onto it and waited. To her great joy, the helicopter appeared again. The nearer it got, the more she flagged the yellow blouse. Luckily, the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly. Tom jumped off the helicopter and ran towards Jane. She broke down and burst into tears.
