Question

【题目】 The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases，with similar symptoms including fever and cough，but they aren't the same.

Both the CoVID-19 and flu are diseases caused by a virus. In the case of flu the pathogens（病原体）are flu viruses，and for COVID-19，it is a novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）.

Common symptoms for flu and novel coronavirus are nearly identical-fever，cough and tiredness sometimes sore throat and diarrhea. In several cases they result in pneumonia（肺炎）and even death in the worst cases. Flu has seasonal ups and downs. Although it can exist all year round，the virus infects more people in winter and spring. As for the novel coronavirus，the median age for the infected is 51.But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age.

Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways，by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes.

FIu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. As for the novel coronavirus，spread might be possible before people show symptoms，but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

For the novel coronavirus，there is also a risk for aerosol transmission（气溶胶传播）In health facilities，people may catch the virus if they breathed in aerosol, the suspension of find solid or liquid particles in the air, which have been contaminated by the virus. The novel coronavirus has also been found in patients’ fecal (排泄物) samples, but fecal-oral transmission does not appear to be a major transmission route.

【1】What can we learn about the novel coronavirus?

A.It has seasonal changes

B.It causes less deaths than flu.

C.It may spread among people of all ages.

D.It only spread after people show symptoms

【2】Which of the following is not the way the novel coronations transmit?

A.aerosol transmissionB.contact transmission

C.fecal-oral transmissionD.age transmission

【3】The author’s main purpose of writing the article is probably to .

A.prove that flu has less harm to humans than coVID.1g

B.raise people's awareness of protecting their health

C.prove that COVID-19 won't cause human deaths

D.provide some suggestions to avoid CoVID-19 infection

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.New treatment on the novel coronavirus

B.the latest research on the COVID-19 and flu

C.the difference between the novel coronavirus and flu

D.how to identify the CoID-19 and flu on symptoms

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文主要描述了流感和新型冠状病毒的区别。

【1】

细节理解题。根据题干可以定位到文章第三段最后一句But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age. 但新型冠状病毒是一种全新的病毒，无论年龄大小，都没有完全的免疫力。可知，新型冠状病毒的传播是不论年龄都可能被感染的。选项C符合题意。故选C项。

【2】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段：Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways，by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes. 流感和新型冠状病毒的传播方式相似，都是通过直接接触受感染的病人，或者当感染了病毒的人咳嗽或呼吸时，通过口鼻的小飞沫传播。最后一段第一句For the novel coronavirus，there is also a risk for aerosol transmission. 对于新型冠状病毒，也有气溶胶传播的风险; 最后一句：The novel coronavirus has also been found in patients’ fecal (排泄物) samples, but fecal-oral transmission does not appear to be a major transmission route.在患者的粪便样本中也发现了这种新型冠状病毒，但粪口传播似乎不是主要的传播途径。可知，新型冠状病毒的传播途径为接触式传播、气溶胶传播以及粪口传播三种方式，所以选项D文章并没有提及到。故选D项。

【3】

写作目的题。通读全文可知，本文主要描述了流感和新型冠状病毒的区别，据此可以得出，写作本文主要是为了让人们通过了解两种疾病的区别，进而关注保护自己的健康。选项B符合题意。故选B项。

【4】

主旨大意题。通读全文特别是文章第一段“The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases，with similar symptoms including fever and cough，but they aren't the same.”可知，本文主要描述了流感和新型冠状病毒的区别，选项C符合题意。故选C项。
