At the beginning of 2020, the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) went around China. Here are some questions about the virus.
Q1: Do pets catch or spread (传播) it?
Now there is no fact showing that pets such as cats and dogs can catch or spread the virus. However, for your health, you should wash your hands with soap and water after touching pets.
Q2: How does it go around?
Breathing and touching are two main ways. Chances (可能性) are higher if people do not wash their hands after touching the infected patients (感染的患者). It’s possible for them to catch the virus by touching their eyes, nose and mouth. Children and old people are not strong, so they can easily get infected this way.
Q3: How long can it stay?
The activity of the virus will get weak after it stays in the air for two hours. It can live about 48 hours in a dry environment. Research has found the virus can live for five days if the temperature stands at 20℃ with humidity (湿度) at 40% to 50%.
Q4: ▲
Many may get a fever, feel tired easily and have a dry cough. Only a few have a runny nose. About half will have difficulty in breathing.
34. What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
A. You needn’t wash hands after touching a cat.
B. Cats can catch the virus but they don’t spread it.
C. You should stay away from your pets for your health.
D. It’s said that dogs and cats don’t catch or spread the virus.
35. What kind of weather does the virus like best?
A. Warm. B. Dry. C. Hot and wet. D. Wet and cold.
36. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A. What should a person do if he or she catches it?
B. What kind of person catches the virus easily?
C. How is the person if he or she catches it?
D. How will the virus disappear?
C
Putting on VR headsets, people can get quite immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) gaming experiences. That sounds like fun, but VR isn’t just for video games. It can also be used in many other industries (行业)
A few years ago, Oral Roberts University in America opened a new Global Learning Center. It has classrooms with 360-degree cameras on the wall. They turn around to follow and take videos of teachers as they teach. Students don’t have to go to the classroom to experience VR. Through an app on their smartphones, they can see the videos in 3D and control them. “VR has changed the way teachers teach and students learn,” Michael Mathews said.
During the 27th Beijing Music Festival in October, 2024, a VR show called Eight appeared in Asia for the first time. It tells a story of an old woman looking back on her life and lasts for 15 minutes. As a special mix of music, theater, VR technology (科技) and visual art, the show is really a wonderful experience for visitors. “The VR technology lets these musical experiences make sense,” said Hong Lin, one of the visitors who experienced Eight. The director of the show said, “When I have an idea, I think about how to communicate it to others. Whatever thoughts I have, the technology is always in service of them.”
VR is getting popular around the world. With the quick development of 5G technology, there is no question that the VR industry will go into a new period. Experts and industry insiders say that the VR industry will have a new era.
37. Paragraph 2 gives an example of the use of VR in the ▲ industry.
A. music B. game C. education D. movie
38. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Eight is a show at a music festival.
B VR makes the show Eight fantastic.
C. It’s important for us to watch shows.
D. VR is so useful that we can use it at any time.
39. What can we learn about VR from Paragraph 4?
A. It’ll be mainly for game users.
B. It’ll face many great difficulties.
C. It’ll become the most important technology.
D. It’ll develop more quickly with the help of 5G technology.
40. Who might be the most interested in the passage?
A. Oscar, who wants to study history.
B. James, who shows an interest in Chinese culture.
C. George, who has little free time to play video games.
D. Sherry, who enjoys reading the news about technology.
D
If you are given only 1 yuan, could you live in a city for one day? It seems that this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it.
On April 10, 2025, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnical University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival (生存). The charity organization (慈善组织) for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only had to live, but they also had to deal with a lot of hard tasks (任务).
To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Qiyue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were upset when they said no. But slowly, we were used to it” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.
Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jiacheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts (手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.
Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth (值……) thousands of yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade (说服) others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt... after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” Zhao Jiacheng said.
41. According to paragraphs 1&2, we know that ▲ .
A. adults can join in this activity B. students are given a lot of money
C. students have to do hard tasks D. this activity lasts for a week
42. To make money students tried many things EXCEPT (除了) ________.

B. students feel unhappy when they finish the tasks
C. making money by singing is a good idea
D. real experiences can make students know how hard life is
45. The best title (标题) for the passage is ▲ .

At the beginning of 2020, the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) went around China. Here are some questions about the virus.
Q1: Do pets catch or spread (传播) it?
Now there is no fact showing that pets such as cats and dogs can catch or spread the virus. However, for your health, you should wash your hands with soap and water after touching pets.
Q2: How does it go around?
Breathing and touching are two main ways. Chances (可能性) are higher if people do not wash their hands after touching the infected patients (感染的患者). It’s possible for them to catch the virus by touching their eyes, nose and mouth. Children and old people are not strong, so they can easily get infected this way.
Q3: How long can it stay?
The activity of the virus will get weak after it stays in the air for two hours. It can live about 48 hours in a dry environment. Research has found the virus can live for five days if the temperature stands at 20℃ with humidity (湿度) at 40% to 50%.
Q4: ▲
Many may get a fever, feel tired easily and have a dry cough. Only a few have a runny nose. About half will have difficulty in breathing.
34. What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
A. You needn’t wash hands after touching a cat.
B. Cats can catch the virus but they don’t spread it.
C. You should stay away from your pets for your health.
D. It’s said that dogs and cats don’t catch or spread the virus.

Putting on VR headsets, people can get quite immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) gaming experiences. That sounds like fun, but VR isn’t just for video games. It can also be used in many other industries (行业)
A few years ago, Oral Roberts University in America opened a new Global Learning Center. It has classrooms with 360-degree cameras on the wall. They turn around to follow and take videos of teachers as they teach. Students don’t have to go to the classroom to experience VR. Through an app on their smartphones, they can see the videos in 3D and control them. “VR has changed the way teachers teach and students learn,” Michael Mathews said.
During the 27th Beijing Music Festival in October, 2024, a VR show called Eight appeared in Asia for the first time. It tells a story of an old woman looking back on her life and lasts for 15 minutes. As a special mix of music, theater, VR technology (科技) and visual art, the show is really a wonderful experience for visitors. “The VR technology lets these musical experiences make sense,” said Hong Lin, one of the visitors who experienced Eight. The director of the show said, “When I have an idea, I think about how to communicate it to others. Whatever thoughts I have, the technology is always in service of them.”
VR is getting popular around the world. With the quick development of 5G technology, there is no question that the VR industry will go into a new period. Experts and industry insiders say that the VR industry will have a new era.

Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jiacheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts (手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.
Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth (值……) thousands of yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade (说服) others.
