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.

| 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. |

| 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】

【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。

36.—Is that ________ (you) schoolbag?
—No, it isn’t.
【答案】your
【解析】
【详解】句意：——那是你的书包吗？——不，它不是。

40.The teacher asked Ben ________(answer) a question in class.
【答案】to answer
【解析】
【详解】句意：老师让本在课堂上回答一个问题。
空格处所给参考单词为answer。ask sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“叫某人去做某事”，符合句意，故答案为to answer。
41.The more you read, the ________ (fast) you will be.
【答案】faster
【解析】
【详解】句意：你读的越多，速度就越快。
空格处实际位于be动词后，所以要用形容词作表语。固定搭配：the+比较级，the+比较级“越……，越……”，所以空格处填形容词比较级faster。故答案为faster。
42.He ________ (sit) down and began to read a newspaper.
【答案】sat
【解析】
【详解】句意：他坐下来开始读报纸。
sit坐，是一个动词。根据句子结构可知，句中and连接了两个并列的谓语动词sit和began，形式应一致，因此这个空也应用过去式，sit的过去式是不规则的变化。故答案为sat。
43.I like dogs ________ they’re friendly and smart.
【答案】because
【解析】
【详解】句意：我喜欢狗是因为它们很友好也很聪明。
分析句子这是一个复合句，根据“they’re friendly and smart”可知，这是我喜欢狗的原因，所以本句是because引导的原因状语从句，故答案是because。
44.________ a clever boy he is!
【答案】What
【解析】
【详解】句意：他是多么聪明的一个孩子！
根据句子结构，可知，原句是一个感叹句，结构为：how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语；what+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语；what+形容词+不可数名词/复数名词+主语+谓语。clever是形容词，boy是名词，所以用what的感叹句结构，位于句首的单词首字母要大写，所以空格处填What。故答案为What。
45.The word “ginseng” comes from the ________ (China) word “ren-shen”.
【答案】Chinese
【解析】
【详解】句意：ginseng这个词来源于中国的“人参”这个词。
China中国，是一个名词。空后word是名词，因此该空应用形容词形式Chinese，意为“中国的”，作定语，修饰名词。故答案为Chinese。
46.—________ yogurt do you need?
—I need one cup of yogurt.
【答案】How much
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你需要多少酸奶？——我需要一杯酸奶。

Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea.
4 Space tours will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecrafts will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take a trip. And we will even get used to living there.
A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do, like driving cars. 5 But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think and even tell the difference between right and wrong.
In a word, just as Jules Vemne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”

I’m writing to invite you to my new house in the country. You know, my family and I moved into our country house one month ago. The kids are planning to give a party at our new house. I hope all of you can come. The party will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. There will be lots of food and drinks.
Together with this letter is a map to our house. After you get off train, take the road in front of the station. Follow it and you’ll see a chicken farm. Don’t make any turns. Keep going and you’ll see a bridge. Cross the bridge and there will be a big tree on your left. Walk past the tree, take the first right turn, and then walk for five more minutes. You’ll see several houses. My house is at the end of the road, next to the river.

【答案】例文：
Dear Angelica,
I’m glad to receive your letter last time. First of all, congratulations on your settlement to the new house，which is so warm and comfortable that I’d like to have a look at once. The small independent garden is the best design in the house, and also a good place to relax. Secondly, I really appreciate your invitation of the housewarming party. I’d love to, but I can’t. As you know, the National Piano Grading Test is coming, my course schedule on these days is already full. I have to devote myself to the preparation until the end of the test. At last, it’s a great pity that I can’t come to your party. But I’ve prepared a gift for you and I hope you will like it.
May your party be a great success and enjoy yourself that day!
Yours,
Alan
