26、A stuffy nose is usually nothing to worry about; it’s mostly just uncomfortable, with varying symptoms. “For some people, it’s having something sticky in the nose or a feeling that the airways are blocked and there’s a declining sense of smell.” says Dr. Ahmad Sedaghat, a director of Rhinology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.

Actually, COVID-19 might cause a stuffy nose in some cases, although it wasn’t on the original list of COVID symptoms. Classic symptoms of the SARS-CoV-2 initial variant(变体)included fever, a cough, body aches and pains, shortness of breath and a loss of taste and smell-without a stuffy nose. However, the Delta variant is different. It’s often associated with symptoms of a common cold, like a stuffy or runny nose and sore throat. But there is something that needs to keep in mind.

One is that the Delta variant still results in the loss of taste and smell, and it’s far-reaching. Sedaghat says that’s because the COVID virus can infect the taste buds. “When you lose smell with a stuffy nose, you can still taste sweet, salty, bitter or sour. But that ability is wiped out with COVID. There’s no taste at all.” he says.

The other to consider in distinguishing COVID from a stuffy nose: vaccination(接种疫苗)，accompanying symptoms and health history. “If you’re fully vaccinated against COVID and you have a known history of allergies, then a stuffy nose without any other symptoms is likely allergies. If you’re not vaccinated, we are less sure. But anyone who’s had a potential exposure to someone with COVID should be monitored closely.” Sedaghat advises.

【1】What is the distinction between the SARS-CoV-2 variant and the Delta variant?

A．A stuffy nose.

B．The chance of recovery.

C．The loss of taste.

D．The death rate.

【2】What is typical of COVID virus according to Paragraph 3?

A．It leads to breathing problems.

B．It causes high fever eventually.

C．It has the same symptoms as flu.

D．It gives rise to a total loss of taste.

【3】How is the last paragraph developed?

A．By analyzing cause and effect.

B．By making assumptions and reasoning.

C．By listing examples.

D．By comparing data.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

A．How to Deal with Stuffy Nose

B．The Research on COVID-19

C．Stuffy Nose and COVID-19

D．Ways to Identify Virus Variants

27、   Resilience is the ability to recover from experiences that are scary, painful, or upsetting. For you, it could be getting up after falling, or ignoring a hurtful comment. For another person , it could mean recovering from an accident or the loss of a loved one.

Here in New Zealand, award-winning author Diana Noonan teaches resilience through her fictional characters. "They win out,“ she said during a recent video interview, “by being self-dependent and resilient, and by looking for answers. "

Noonan has written many books, ranging from picture books for children to novels for adults. She has also written for television, radio and film. "Writing is a way of figuring out the answer to a lot of things in your life," she said, “except that you do it through other people."

Noonan believes that as a writer, it's her job to convince readers that things will get better. Quaky Cat, one of Noonan's titles, is more than just a picture book.

After a series of destructive earthquakes struck Christchurch, one of New Zealand's largest cities, in 2010 and 2011, Noonan wrote Quaky Cat. She wanted to bring hope to the city's children, many of whom had developed anxiety following the quakes. A copy was given to each five-year-old in Christchurch. Sales from the book raised over $ 150, 000 for local charities.

“To fight anxiety, you have to really know who you are," Noonan said. "You have to really believe and trust in yourself. There's only one way to do that, and that's to dig deep inside yourself. Reading is a time when you do a lot of thinking about yourself.

During the coronavirus pandemic, being resilient is especially important. A lot of us have spare time on our hands. "It's a good time to get to know ourselves. You need to take action,“ Noonan said. "Being strong in yourself,“ she added, “is knowing yourself. "

【1】What does the first paragraph say about resilience?

A.It prevents us taking any possible risks.

B.It is an ability that is easy for people to get.

C.It helps to spread love around the world.

D.It means different things for different people.

【2】Why did Diana Noonan write the picture book Quaky Cat?

A.To educate kids on survival skills. B.To teach kids to be volunteers.

C.To help children in the disaster area. D.To start a charity organization.

【3】How does reading help those anxiety sufferers?

A.By improving their learning abilities.

B.By getting them to believe others.

C.By drawing their attention to writing.

D.By making them know themselves better.

【4】What is Diana Noonan trying to do at last?

A.Suggest. B.Advertise. C.Apologize. D.Appreciate.

28、For my 56th birthday, my daughter, Beth, bought me two beautifully carved wooden butterflies. I hung them in prominent (显眼的) places on my walls so that I can see them often during the day. Each time I do so, they give me a wonderful reminder of love.

My daughter and my love of butterflies goes back many years. After a long battle against cancer, my mom passed away when I was only 25 years old. Beth was only a baby at the time and never got to have any memories of her grandma. I tried to make up for it by telling her stories of my mom but each time I did, I could see that there was a little sadness in Beth’s eyes. One day when she was only seven or so we were outside at the playground. Beth suddenly said how much she saddened not having her grandma around. Well, sometimes I comforted her and this time I told her how much her grandma loved her and that Grandma still remained positive in the last weeks of her life. I said she was watching over her from Heaven and that maybe she was even hitching (搭乘) a ride on the back of a butterfly to come down and get a closer look. At that very moment, a butterfly appeared flying around Beth’s face and then flew away. We both laughed with our hearts full of love and joy.

Since that moment all of those years ago, both Beth and I seem to attract butterflies like flowers. Whenever we are outside, they seem to fly down, circle around us, take a good look, and then fly away. And every time, we are reminded of my mom’s love watching over us. The only time this doesn’t happen is during the coldest months of the year when there are no insects of any kind. But now during those times I can take a look at the two beautiful wooden butterflies my daughter bought me and still be reminded of that love.

【1】Why did Beth buy wooden butterflies?

A．To celebrate the new year.

B．To decorate her bedroom.

C．To celebrate her mother’s birthday.

D．To remind her childhood.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?

A．Tough and optimistic.

B．Enthusiastic and helpful.

C．Independent and reliable.

D．Knowledgeable and respectable.

【3】How did Beth feel when a butterfly flew around her face?

A．Terrified.

B．Confused.

C．Joyful.

D．Nervous.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us through the story?

A．Wooden butterflies are of great artistic value.

B．We all need reminders that we are loved in our life.

C．It is difficult to maintain family ties during difficult times.

D．The presence of parents is important to children’s development.
