20、deal with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins. How can I remember you? ” we ask.So many people dont want to talk about my sister.

26、.BHistory thats hard to traceSince December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previous virus we dont know: novel coronavirus.Its not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential

27、 to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms （ 有機物 ） They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They include genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria （ 細菌 ）， viruses cant reproduce （繁殖 ）

28、on their own. Instead, they invaded thecells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from?Until now, we still have no clear explanation for their origin （起源 ）. “ Tracingthe origins of viruses is difficult, ” Ed Rybicki, a virolo

29、gist at the universityCoafpe Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “ because viruses dont leave fossils （化石） and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselveswithin the cells they ve invaded. ”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their

30、 hosts-not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, here are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites（ 寄生者 ）. Second, viruses evolved（ 逐漸形成） from pie

31、ces ofDNA or RNA that “ escaped ” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses-ecvoolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only these theories. The technology and poofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and d

32、iscover the most reasonable explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.4. What can we lean about viruses from the article?A. The mainly infect animals and plants.B. They are really small

They evolved along with their host cells.B. They evolved from the DNA or RNA in animals.C. They evolved from the fossils of l

34、arge organisms.D. They evolved from parasites to independent organisms.6. What do we learn from the article?A. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.D. The author

35、 is confident about future virus research.CWhile famous foreign architects（ 建筑師 ）are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center st

36、age.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize-which is often considered as the Nobel Prize in architecture-on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Depa

37、rtment at the China Academy of Art （CAA）. His office is located at the Xiangshan campus （校園）of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings onthe campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were a

38、mazed by the complex architectural space and rich building types. The curves （曲線 ） of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming an only view.Wang collected more than 7 million gave up bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bri

39、cks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements（ 元素 ）.Wangs works show a deep understanding of modem architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance. he had created a new type of

40、Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Prizker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be fixed in glass boxes at museums. “ Thatis only evidence that traditions once existed, he said.“ ManyChinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old

41、things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still beingcreated,he said.Today; many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on, Chinese traditions. Many people tend to（傾向于）talk about traditions without

42、knowing what they really are, said Wang.The study of traditions should be connected with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.7.

43、al recognition （ 認可）C. working harder than ever beforeD.depending on foreign architects8.

Teach them in universities.D.Recreate them in practice.DDont tell anyone: is likely a phrase you have heard before of after someone tells you a secret. But why is it so hard not to spill the beans ? One Baylor College

45、of Medicine expert explains why this is a challenge.“Secrets often include something that someone does not take pride in. Theyve chosen someone to tell the secret, but dont want other people to know about it because they feel like if it gets out it could damage （破壞）their fame, said Dr. Asim, Shah, p

46、rofessor in the Meninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor. However, it can be hard for the person to keep that to themselvesekifeciaay become a burden（負擔）.”As soon as you tell somebody not to repeat your secret, people want to share it with somebody, Shah explained. Also mo

47、st people have a confidant （知已），so when you share information with yours, keep in mind that they likely will share it with their own confidants.With secrets so often getting out, why do people share them in the first place? One reason is that people often feel like it will help them keep close frien

48、dship with others, Shah said. However,connecting telling someone your secrets with how close you are to them is not always advisable. It is important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.Another reason why people often tell a sec

49、ret is that they feel guilty for keeping it, Shah said.For example, if your friend tells you a secret but you do not share it with your close friends, you may feel guilty for not telling them. If you do not share certain things with your close family members, a sense of distrust can develop. Keeping

50、 or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.He added that people who are more talkative may by accident let a secret out but that does not necessarily mean it is a good idea to share secrets with someone who is quieter. If somebody is quiet an

51、d keeps everything in, it may cause them to have more stress, and finally they will talk to somebody.If you do not want to be responsible（ 負責的）for keeping someones secret, it is best to be honest and tell the the person you do not want to know his or her secret.“If you end up accidentally sharing a

52、secret with somebody else, it is best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret, Shah said.10. What does the underlined phrase spill the beans in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.share the secretB.face the challengeC. keep the secretD. avoid the challenge11. The writer wants

53、to tell us that.A.quiet persons are sure to keep the secret for youB.talkative persons will by accident let out a secretC.everyone has a confidant to share secrets with themD.we could hurt our friends if we let out their secrets12. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Close friends should share secr

54、ets with each other.B.Sharing secrets will help you get the trust of someone.C. Real friendship shouldnt be based on whether to share secrets.D. It is unnecessary to keep secrets.13.
