What are coronaviruses? Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. They are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections.
The new coronavirus. At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China. This type of coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is believed that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed in people who had visited a market selling live seafood and animals. Unfortunately, when viruses are transmitted from animals to people it can take scientists a lot of time before they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it.
How does the virus spread? The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected person. For example, a cough, a sneeze or a handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

Below is how four students answered their teacher’s question in class.
Lily
I like shopping and talking to people. I think I can learn how to do business. Maybe selling clothes is a good business for me.
Ryan
My hobbies are playing computer games and making friends online. We often share our funny stories by e-mail. I guess I will learn more about computers and make super-smart computer programs.
Bill
My parents have kept lots of pets since I was little. We’ve experienced many things together, good and bad, happy and sad. Those stories have always stayed in my mind. One day, I will share them with people by drawing and writing books.
Anna
Though my mom and two sisters are all doctors, I’m sure I will stay as far away from a hospital as I can. I hate being sick, and I’m afraid of seeing sick people looking weak and sad. I’ll keep strong by playing my favorite sport, tennis, every day. One day I’ll join the national team and be another Lina.

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据四位同学的回答Maybe selling clothes is a good business for me；I guess I will learn more about computers and make super-smart computer programs；One day, I will share them with people by drawing and writing books；One day I’ll join the national team and be another Lina，可知Lily将来卖衣服；Ryan想学到更多关于计算机的知识，并制作超级智能的计算机程序；Bill想通过画画和写书来和人们分享他的故事；Anna想有一天加入国家队，成为另一个Lina。由此可推断出老师在问他们将来想干什么，故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。them“它们”指代复数，根据上文Those stories have always stayed in my mind. 那些故事一直留在我的脑海里。可知them指代stories，Bill想通过画画和写书来和人们分享他的故事，故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题，根据上文I’ll keep strong by playing my favorite sport, tennis, every day. 可知她将通过每天玩最喜欢的运动——网球来保持强壮。故选A。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。A. Lily is good at making clothes.莉莉擅长做衣服。根据上文Maybe selling clothes is a good business for me.可知对她来说，卖衣服是件好买卖，而不是她擅长做衣服。所以此项说法错误；B. One of Bill’s parents is an animal doctor. 比尔的父母之一是动物医生。根据上文Bill的回答“My parents have kept lots of pets since I was little.”可知他的父母养过很多宠物，但不是动物医生，所以此项说法错误；C. Ryan enjoys meeting people on the Internet. 瑞安喜欢在网上见人们。根据上文Ryan 的回答“My hobbies are playing computer games and making friends online. We often share our funny stories by e-mail.”，可知他喜欢在网上交朋友，经常通过电子邮件分享有趣故事。所以此项说法正确，故选C。
