Dad raises 10 questions about the virus in Don Ruihan’s book.BI earned my graduate degree in the UK and planned to live there. But things didn’t go to plan. I found a great job in America, teaching drama. Years passed and I still hadn’t made it back to Europe. I did, however, find myself working at a university. This is when China knocked on my door.The university encouraged us to attend classes as part of our professional development. They offered two foreign language choices: Chinese and Japanese. For I liked Chinese food a little more, I decided to take the course. Two terms in, and I was hooked! I co-founded the Chinese Culture Club at school. We attended the Spring Festival celebration hosted by our local Chinese community center. I learned to make baozi and tried out my fledgling language skills at the local Chinese restaurant.The club decided on a foster (寄养) home that supported orphans (孤儿). It helped me make a decision to visit China. After all, if I’m going to learn a language, I might as well go to the country itself! So I made arrangements with the foster home to volunteer in exchange for lodgings. My stay would be three weeks.A year of language learning did not prepare me for the culture. Firstly, dirt roads, stray dogs, limited indoor heating and the language problem made me very worried. Luckily, the people there helped me work through the change from America to China.Once the initial shock wore off, I was completely charmed. The food was amazing, the people were friendly and curious, and the children were cute. My Chinese was pushed to its limit. I used my weekends to take in everything from the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. I also took a trip to the Shaolin Temple in Henan province.And, just as I was getting comfortable, it was time to go home. I knew before I left that I would return, not just for a visit, but to live.Ten long years later, a chance came itself. I left everything except my 16-year-old cat, Darcy, and we are now happily two years into our new lives in Beijing.It took me a decade to move to China. And it was worth the wait.29.

After going back to Europe.30 How did the writer feel after taking the Chinese course?A. He felt relaxed.B. He fell cheated.C. He felt bored.D. He felt interested.31.

By the sentence “And it was worth the wait”, the writer wants to _______.A. complain the time she waitedB. praise the delicious Chinese foodC. tell us the period of learning ChineseD. show us how she loves ChinaCJust like any relationship, best friendships depend on trust, promise, respect and interests. When any of these elements is missing, the friendship will be hard to go on. If the trust is totally broken, you may not be able to forgive him or her. Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets tired of putting the heart into it. This can happen when one of you finds a new friend or even a new hobby that takes up much time. Or, perhaps you find the relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some distance. Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other. Sure, it seems sad at the time, but it’s completely normal. Not all friendships are meant to last forever. So, what should you do if something like this happens to you? Read on for some friendly advice.Whatever the reason you’re breaking up with your best friend, always remember that he or she was once super important to you. Take the time to sit down privately and tell him/her what’s going on and why. Don’t send him or her an unpleasant e-mail or just start ignoring (不理睬) him or her. In fact, maybe he or she has known there’s a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat. If you’re not sure about wanting an end forever, you could suggest you two take a break from each other. If, after a while, you realize why you became the best friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors. Whatever you do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for his or hers. And if you both agree the BFF thing is over, make sure not to be enemies.33. According to the passage, there are _______ basic elements of friendship.A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 634. What is NOT the usual cause of ending a friendship?A. Getting tired of putting your heart into each other.B. Finding a new hobby that takes up much time.C. Realizing the relationship going in an unhealthy way.D. Living too far away from each other.35 What should you do when breaking up with your best friends?①Remember his or her once being important to you.②Try to have a heart-to-heart chat with him or her.③Be honest and respectful to each other.④Send an unpleasant e-mail and ignore him or her.⑤Suggest not getting along with each other for a while.A. ①②③④B. ②③④⑤C. ①③④⑤D. ①②③⑤36. What can be the best title for this passage?A. Basic elements of friendship.B. Friendly advice on reading.C. What to do with friendship in trouble?D. When to be friends or enemies?DWhen we hear the word “virus”, we naturally think of something dangerous. However, some viruses coexist (共存) with us and we can even make good use of some of them, according to recent studies.Biologists suggest that 380 trillion viruses are living on and within your body right now. These viruses are collectively known as the human virome (病毒组). Some can cause illness, but many simply coexist with you.It appears that our viromes begin to accumulate when we are born. Studies have shown different viruses in the babies’ bodies shortly after birth, suggesting that they probably come from the babies’ mothers.The viromes grow in number as the kids grow up. They are not likely to change during adulthood. “The virome looks like a partner that can influence our daily lives positively as well as negatively. We could even use the virome to improve our own health,” said David Pride, an expert from the US.One way is to use parts of viruses to cure diseases. Researchers in the US have purified (提纯) an enzyme (酶) from a virus that kills bacteria (细菌) found in patients.The other way is to develop viruses’ value. Many viruses in our viromes infect bacteria. When the viruses move around the body, some arrive at the surfaces of our bodies such as the nose, throat and stomach. Viruses cannot divide or produce exact copies of themselves there, but they can wait for bacteria to arrive. This process makes it possible to prevent us from getting certain diseases.37. What does the underlined word “accumulate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. produce mattersB. create problemsC. increase the quantityD. examine the body38 How can viruses benefit people?A. They make enzyme that can cure cancer.B. They help people avoid certain diseases.C. They can turn harmful bacteria into a harmless one.D. They can copy themselves to kill harmful bacteria.39. What is the author ‘s main purpose in writing the text?A. To explain how viruses can be very useful.B. To describe how viruses come into being.C. To show the importance of human viromes.D. To introduce our relationship with viruses.40. Where is this text most likely from?A. A technology newspaper.B. A science fiction.C. A health guidebook.D. A biology magazine.第二节 阅读填空（每小题1分，共5小题，满分5分）Chinese New Year is right around the corner! This is the time of year when we “sweep away the dust”. ___41___ We do this in order to make a clean, fresh start in the new year.Another great way to start fresh is to get rid of all the clutter (杂物). Over a year ago, I did just that. In preparation for a move, I gave away around 75 percent of my clothes. ___42___ At first, I was afraid I would miss those things. However, I soon realized what a burden on my life that excess(过量) had become. I found that caring for fewer things means more time to spend with friends and family.These days it seems that many people are trying to live with less. They’re discovering the joy of spending their time and resources on the things that matter most. The benefits of living simply are as follows:More free time___43___ Keep only the items you need, use or enjoy. You’ll be surprised at how much time you’ll have to do what you actually want to do.More moneyAs you stop buying things you don’t need, your finances will improve.

You come to realize that things don’t bring lasting happiness. True joy comes from making memories with loved ones.Living simply lowers your stress level, improves your health and allows you to focus on what’s important.
