Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.Bats can carry and transmit(传播) more than 60 viruses that can infect(传染) humans, Live Science noted. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola(埃博拉病毒) and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系统) , bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time, the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants(变体). These variants can then infect new hosts, such as other wild animals.Pangolins (穿山甲), for example, might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP, according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins, with pangolins then spreading(传播) it to humans.Wild animals like snakes, hedgehogs(刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry different kinds of viruses. But since they live in the wild, there should be little chance for humans to come into contact with them and get infected- unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt, buy and eat wild animals, they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the ecosystem(生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. Thelesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.36.

Because they have strong immune system.C. Because the viruses are kept in balance.D. Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.38.

Exercise regularly to stay healthy.C. Stop keeping animals as pets.D. Don’t buy or eat wild animals.40. The passage is probably from.A. A newspaperB. A storybookC. An advertisementD. An introduction (说明书)BWhat do you call a school with no tests, no grades, no classes, and no teachers? Students of the Met School and their parents think it to be the best school in the world.The school is in Rhode Island, USA. Dennis Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired（解雇）from two other schools, because many parents of the school students were happy with his unusual ideas. The school takes poor kids who are failing at schools. Nearly everybody has already given up these students and their parents want to try anything. The Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas.“The word that most kids use when they talk about high school is ‘boring’,” says Littky. “But no one would say the Met was boring.” Advisors(指导老师) (not teachers) work with small groups of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time learning real-life skills , such as working for business, spending time with government people, and helping teach younger children. Instead of tests, the students give shows about their work outside school.In fact, students work harder here than in other schools. All the students from the Met graduate and can choose to go to a good university . Now, Bill Gates is starting schools like this one around the USA.41. ______ think(s) that the Met School is the best.A. The headmaster of the Met School.B. The student outside the Met School.C.
