Coronaviruses (冠状病毒)
Coronaviruses(冠状病毒) 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 was 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.

Mary Wilkins Ellis was a volunteer pilot for Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary( ATA) during World
War II.
Mary Wilkins was born on Feb.2, 1917. When she was 8, her father bought her a ride in a plane. From
there, she was hooked. As a teenager, she persuaded her father to pay for flying lessons, and she earned her
pilot's license at 22 in 1939.
In 1940，she heard an ad for volunteer pilots to help the war effort. She signed up and joined the
ATA, whose task was to deliver planes from factory to base or from base to factory for repairs.高二英语 3 / 13
At the height of World War II, 26-year-old Mary Wilkins climbed down a ladder from the cockpit (驾
驶舱) of a bomber(轰炸机) at a Royal Air Force base in England.
“Where's the pilot?" someone on the ground asked.
“I am the pilot!" she responded. She had delivered the bomber alone—although built for a five-man
crew—from its factory. People on the ground looked at her in surprise. One of them even decided to climb
up the ladder to check the plane for the “missing” pilot.
She was one of the “Atagirls", as they were nicknamed, who almost always flew without other crew
members, compass or radio assistance. They guided themselves by using maps and following rives or
railway lines. While they did not fly in combat( 战 斗 ), they faced the daily danger of attack by enemy
planes. Mrs. Ellis was once shot at over Bournemouth, in southern England, by “friendly fire” from the
ground. Another time, she had a near-miss when landing in thick fog at the same time a combat Spitfire
landed on the same runway from the opposite direction. That experience won her the nickname “the fog
flyer" .
In all, Mrs. Ellis flew more than 1,000 warplanes of 76 types—including 400 Spitfires—among more
than 200 British airfields from 1942 to the end of the war in 1945.
4. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Touched. B. Addicted. C. Annoyed. D. Confused.
5. Where did Mary Wilkins probably learn the ad for volunteer pilots?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a magazine. C. On a poster. D. On the radio.
6. Why did one person on the ground climb up the ladder?
A. He didn't believe women could fly these planes.
B. He was interested in what a bomber looked like.
C. He couldn't wait to experience a ride in a bomber.
D. He wanted to check if the plane was in good condition.
7. What do we learn about “Atagirls”?
A. They often flew in combat. B. They were often shot at by enemy.
C. They often flew on their own. D. They guided themselves by radio when flying.
C
"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has
become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict 高二英语 4 / 13
trash-sorting regulations （条例)that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our
country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific
public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct
trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the
possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （$ 29）. For those
who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder
for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of
garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it
lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift（筛选）through the waste, picking
out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty
work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish
must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which
can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules
concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open
plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically
a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at
around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad.
8.What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
9.Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A.There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B.It aims to build a new recycling system.
C.It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D.People throw the rubbish here and there.
10.What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A.Limited time for tossing the trash.
B.Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.高二英语 5 / 13
C.Being fined due to improper behavior.
D.Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
11.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B.A New Era of Garbage Classification
C.A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D.An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
D
From talking robots to driverless vehicles, technology has become so advanced that the previously
impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet—we still have no cure for the common cold.
Why can't we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier
University, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that belong to the
rhinoviruses(鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They mutate(突变) so easily that they quickly become
resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn't likely to
work on every type of cold.
However, researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, have
found a possible answer. They discovered a protein(蛋白质) that the viruses need. All the viruses were
unable to replicate(复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein called SETD3.
To identify the gene which produces the specific protein, researchers used a gene-editing technique to
test all genes in the human genome (基因组). Namely, they randomly disabled a single gene in each of the
cells, so that the cells lacked one or another of every gene in our genome. These genetically modified cells
were then exposed to the rhinoviruses, which cause the common cold. The team then looked at which gene
was missing in cells that continued to grow. As it turned out. the one that stood out was SETD3, which
makes a protein of the same name.
Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily disable the protein, instead of producing
genetically modified humans. “We have identified a fantastic target that all rhinoviruses require and depend
on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance," said Carette.
12. Which does Peter Barlow think is a problem for fighting the common cold?
A. The poor immunity of patients. B. The large variety of viruses.
C. The lack of enough cures. D. The side effects of drugs.高二英语 6 / 13
13. What do we know about the gene- editing study in Paragraph 4?
A. All genetically modified cells survived B. Some genes in our genome were ignored
C. It located the gene responsible for SETD3 D. It exposed the harm of the rhinoviruses.
14. How should we stay away from the common cold according to Carette?
A. Apply gene-editing to human genes B. Avoid contacts with colds patients
C. Prevent cold viruses from mutating D. Develop a drug to switch off SETD3
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Potential defense found for cold viruses B. Secrets behind the human genes
C. Real causes of the common cold D. Puzzles over rhinoviruses solved

vacation after the college entrance examination. Before the examination, I had good rest because I did feel
tired after the hard work of all these years. Of course, I did some reading for fun, and for knowledges as
well. I spent some time staying with our parents, chatted with them and doing some housework. They have
done so much for me, you know. Beside, I took part in some social activities so that I could know less
about the society. How about your vacation? Did you feel interesting? Write back and share it to me, will

Dear Leslie，高二英语 13 / 13
I’m glad to receive your email. You asked me to share with you what I was doing in the pandemic
situation. Here are my experiences.
After the outbreak of COVID-19, I spent my entire winter vacation staying at home. On the one hand,
I paid close attention to the pandemic situation through watching CCTV news or surfing the Internet. On
the other hand, I insisted on studying. Not only did I read classics, but also I had online courses given by
my teachers. Besides, I took exercise every day to keep healthy. Faced with the disaster, many people
including doctors, nurses and scientists have acted bravely and spared no effort to fight against it. They are
real heroes.
Thank you for your concern. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
