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.
B
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
CIn 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 NatureB. 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

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．

your requirements.
Looking forward to meeting you in the USA.
Yours,

本文为说明文。主要说明为了拯救濒临灭绝的蜗牛物种，人类为它们制作了特殊的设备---拖
车式房屋，经验丰富的驯养员和夏威夷本地植物的饮食，这些都有益于蜗牛的保护。
【24 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的内容“The trailer... 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. ...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...”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。
【25 题详解】
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。
【26 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段 it can be hard for the snails' minders to relax, even when they are outside
the trailer.... “How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction? yet with
animals whose natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. "If you do it wrong,
the snails die.”蜗牛的看护人员即使在拖车房外也很难放松...“你的决定会影响它们的生存或
毁灭，你怎么能不担心呢？”但对于自然基本一无所知的动物来说，这种行动可能是危险的。
如果你做错了，蜗牛就会死。由此可知，蜗牛看护者对待他们的态度是谨慎小心的。分析选项 A. Relaxed.放松的；B. Confident 自信的； C. Cautious 谨慎小心的；D. Disapproving 反对
的。可知 C 项符合题意，故选 C。
【27 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“.... He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides --a third of the
world's population of the species”一天他发现了12 只蜗牛，占世界该蜗牛总数的三分之一。第
二段中的“Last September , a mystery pathogon(病原体)appeared to have entered the trailer on
leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.” 去年 9 月,一个谜似的 (病原体进入了拖
车中蜗牛吃的树叶, 几乎杀死整个物种。第三段中的“How do you switch off when your decisions
mean existence or extinction?” Sischo said。“你的决定会影响它们的生存或毁灭，你怎么能不
担心呢？你的决定会影响它们的生存或毁灭，你怎么能不担心呢？”由此可推断出：这种蜗
牛的数量极少，也就是说“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛“。分析选项可知 A 项“这种物种最后
的几条蜗牛”为短文最佳标题。故选 A。
【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。

本文为说明文。以前，我们开车去看电影或购物，会排放二氧化碳，消费自然资源。而现在
我们习惯了在家里看流媒体电影，避免了排放二氧化碳。但是看自媒体会消耗能源，排放二
氧化碳。有报告说，下载和流媒体的能耗非常高。文章提供了如何在使用流媒体时尽可能地
减少在线时间节约能源的方法。
【28 题详解】
推理判断题。第一段 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 om the environment....driving across town and coughing out emissions(排放) and using gas all the way.中
提出：以前我们开车去看电影或买东西时很容易对环境造成影响，不仅增加排放，还消费自
然 资 源 。 第 二 段 承 接 上 文 说 “But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming
movies,....You’re welcome. 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。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段提及这五个国家的前面内容“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.” 在欧盟，欧洲经委会项目首席科
学家拉比·巴什鲁什计算出，《Despacito》歌曲的 50 亿次下载和流媒体消耗的电力相当于乍
得、几内亚比绍、索马里、塞拉利昂和中非共和国等国一年使用的电力。由此推断出的这五
个国家是来说明下载和流媒体的能耗非常高。故选 C。
【31 题详解】
细节理解题。倒数第二段提出“You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but
there are things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use.” 你可能不会放弃流媒体
服务，但你可以做一些事情来帮助减少在线造成的影响。接着提出四点节省能源的忠告“Here
are some tips: Disable auto play for video on social media.；Stream over Wi-Fi, not mobile networks；
Watch on the smallest screen you can；Don’t use high-definition video on devices.”可知，所给的四点节能的忠告为：在社交媒体上禁用视频自动播放功能；通过 Wi-Fi 传输，而不是移动网
络；尽量用最小的屏幕观看；不要使用高清视频设备。由此可知 B 项(关闭自动播放功能)符
合节省能源的第 2 点的要求(在社交媒体上禁用视频自动播放功能)。可知 B 项符合题意，故
选 B。
D 阅读
【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。
完型
