24、The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has already made tens of thousands of people sick. Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.

Bats can carry and transmit (传播) more than 60 viruses that can infect (传染) humans, Live Science noted. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系统), bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time, the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (变体). These variants can then infect new hosts, such as other wild animals.

Pangolins (穿山甲), for example, might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP, according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins, with pangolins then spreading it to humans.

Wild animals like snakes, hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry various viruses. But since they live in the wild, there should be little chance for humans to come into contact with them and get infected – unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt, buy and eat wild animals, they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.

But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the ecosystem (生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.

【1】Why can bats host many viruses without getting sick?

A．Because these viruses are not deadly.

B．Because they have strong immune systems.

C．Because the viruses are kept in balance.

D．Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.

【2】According to a recent study, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.

A．pangolins

B．snakes

C．hedgehogs

D．bamboo rats

【3】What does the word “harmony” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．隔离

B．和谐

C．伤害

D．集中

【4】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?

A．Research more about wild animals.

B．Exercise regularly to stay healthy.

C．Stop keeping animals as pets.

D．Don’t buy or eat wild animals.

25、As kids， we learn how to write， maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don’t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing， playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that’s why I love it.

Creating with code

CoderDojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland， at age nine， I didn’t know anything about coding or even  such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!

By going to CoderDojo every week， I learned how to make websites， apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still in development， and it first appeared at an event called Coolest Projects Awards， where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It’s so much fun to share one’s creations， and to see what everyone else has made too.

Learning environment

For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls’ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends， and it doesn’t feel like coding is a “boy thing”. It is really wonderful to see this， because we need more girls and women in STEM (Science， Technology， Engineering and Math). It’s a good way to learn more about technology.

Start early

One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults， coding is for young people， too. And when you are a child， it is a great time to start coding， because your imagination is the limit(限制) for what you can create!

Want to learn more? Find out if there is a CoderDojo near you at www.coderdojo.com or set one up yourself! Also check out Code.org which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games.

26、Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But it was incomplete, so it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.

Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.

Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.

We couldn’t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.

C. losing something may not be a bad thing sometimes

D. we are not whole when we lose something

27、   If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).

The study also found the effect(效果) is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure(结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.

It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

The findings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.

【1】From Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2, we can learn that ___________.

A.learning a second language can make you smarter

B.grammar is not very important in learning English

C.you can start to learn another language if you are smart

D.it is best to learn a second language in a British university

【2】The underlined word “bilinguals” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ___________.

A.people who study language learning B.people who can speak two languages

C.languages spoken by British people D.languages children learn before five

【3】Dr. Andrea Mechelli and his team have found that ___________.

A.it is not very good to start learning a language too early

B.it usually takes quite a long time to master a new language

C.learning a second language changes the structure of the brain

D.people who don’t learn a second language have no grey matter

【4】In the last two paragraphs, the writer tells us that ___________.

A.the younger you start to learn a second language, the better

B.improving math skills is as difficult as learning a second language

C.Italian people are supposed to learn English as a second language

D.the best age to learn a second language is between two and thirty-four

【5】This passage is mainly about ___________.

A.language learning and math skills B.how to learn a second language well

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。(每空限一词)

On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking（史蒂芬·霍金）, the world-famous British scientist, p【1】away at 76 in Cambridge, UK.

Hawking is considered by many to be the g【2】 scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe (宇宙) began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. He also wrote books to help c【3】 people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time (《时间简史》), which has sold more than 10 million c【4】 around the world.

When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that prevented him from w【5】and talking. B【6】 this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled (身体残疾), one c【7】 afford to be psychologically disabled(心理残疾) as well,” he once said.

He celebrated his s【8】 birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel i【9】 space one day.

In 2013, Hawking spoke about h【10】 he felt life was unfair（不公平的）when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
