2、ish to interact with a wild creature, an easy method is to attract it with some food. However, feeding wild animals is dangerous and unwise.

8、fore Christmas 2012, I found myself in Walmart. It was the last 11 I wanted to be, especially during the chaos of last-minute Christmas shopping. It had been a little more than a month since my husband was laid off. The school my kids attended asked if we needed help for Christmas, and we 12 . If no
9、t for them, our kids would not have had Christmas gifts. My children were with me that day at Walmart. Our cupboards were bare, and I had only eighty dollars to 13 a family of six for a week.

12、or a couple of weeks certainly put a stress on our family. As I chose my groceries, I kept a running total in my head. As my cart (手推车) filled, my 23 rose. The more I thought about it, the less 24 it was that I would be able to buy a gift for my husband. When I went to the checkout, I set aside the
13、cologne gift box. My kids 25 , but I didnt have much of a choice. My heart 26 when the grocery total was indeed too high for us to buy the gift, but an angel was waiting in the wings. What happened left me speechless, and being the 27 type, speechless is rare for me. A man 28 us, put four twenty-dol

27、e things, what would you want?” Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate Chitsey loves asking that question, but its not a game. She asks it at nursing homes in the Harrison, Arkansas, where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents wishes come true. Ruby Kate has long been close to old
28、er folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often stays with her in the summer. The Chitseys learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it. “Ive never found
29、them scary at all, so Im able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says. She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldnt be able to provide. Instead, they asked
30、 for chocolate bars, McDonalds fries, and pants that fit properly. “It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
31、 Then they started asking for donations. The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, so much that Amanda set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Rubys Residents, hoping to collect $5,000. They hit their goal in a month. After GoFundMe named Ruby Kate a Kid Hero and promoted her story na
32、tionwide this past January, Three Wishes raised $20,000 in 24 hours and more than $250,000 in five months. With those funds, the Chitseys were able to get more creative: One resident asked for a man cave, so they got him a Walkman and stocked his fridge with snacks. Another wanted to go to a friends
33、 out- of-state wedding; they gave her money for gas and food. Earlier this year, Three Wishes for Rubys Residents became a nonprofit and launched its first nationwide chapters. One of its new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state. Ruby Kate doesnt plan to stop there.
34、 Actually, besides Ruby Kate, more youngsters are involved in helping others as a hobby. At one high school, students turned a single dollar into a truly inspirational act. 34. Why did the Chitseys decide to ask and meet the residents wishes? A. It was Amandas duty to do that. B. The residents stori
35、es moved them. C. They wanted to do something for the poor there. D. They had a close relationship with the residents. 35. Amanda said “It broke me as a human,” in Para.4, probably because . A. the wishes were simple B. the wishes were in her plan C. she couldnt realize the wishes D. she couldnt hel
36、p her daughter 36. From last two paragraphs, we know the Chitseys . A. started a page to get profit B. wrote stories about nursing homes C. appealed to more people to join them D. carried out their project across the world 37. The story mainly inspires people to . A. accompany the senior B. deliver
37、kindness to others C. treasure what they have D. be optimistic toward life C Infections that cross over from other species are a deadly problem. The new coronavirus(冠状病毒) is the latest example of a disease that jumped from animals into humans. When infections do this, they can be deadlyand 2019-nCoV
38、 is no exception. Nearly all viruses and bacteria that infect other organisms are completely harmless to people. But a tiny proportion can infect us and cause so-called zoonotic diseases, which come from animals rather than people. Such diseases are a massive problem. They make around 2.5 billion pe
39、ople ill every year and kill 2.7 million. Not all zoonotic diseases cause serious illness, but the Ebola virus, for example, currently kills most of those it infects. One reason zoonotic viruses can be this deadly is that we lack pre-existing immunity( 免 疫) to them. Another is that these viruses are
40、nt adapted to humans. Viruses that normally circulate among people can develop to become less deadly, as this helps them spread. “They dont want you to drop dead within a day because you wont pass it to anyone else,” says Chris Coleman at the University of Nottingham, UK. To get infected, people nee
41、d to come into contact with the animal the virus usually infects. This is most likely with domesticated animals. Camels carry the MERS coronavirus that causes sporadic human cases, for instance. Many viruses that jump into people, like MERS, seldom spread from person to person. They can still infect
42、 thousands, though: rabies is mostly passed on by dog bites, but kills 60,000 people a year. Others, such as Ebola, can spread from person to person, but arent very good at it and so cause relatively small outbreaks. The 2019 coronavirus, by contrast, appears quite good at spreading from person to p
43、erson. We dont know how deadly it is yet. Biologists have been warning for decades about the risks of animal viruses spreading to people. There is good reason to worry. The last global pandemic(传染病), the 2009 flu that killed up to 400,000 people, was caused by a strain of flu that came from pigs. An
44、d that flu is thought to be a descendant of the 1918 flu, which came from birds. HIV, which has infected about 75 million people, is now thought of as a human virus. But it jumped from chimpanzees into humans relatively recently, in the 1930s. Coleman thinks there is little we can do to stop people
45、coming into contact with animals that may carry dangerous viruses. “Its very difficult to control that,” he says. Instead, he says we need to have vaccines( 疫苗) ready in advance. This could mean creating vaccines that are effective against a wide range of viruses and developing vaccines that require
46、 only minor changes to work against a new viral strain, much like annual flu vaccines. 38. What does the underlined word “circulate” in Pra.3 probably mean? A. Pass on. B. Attack each other. C. Die away. D. Work together. 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. People must keep away from wild ani
47、mals. B. The majority of viruses are a massive problem. C. The 2009 flu had no connection with the 1918 flu. D. Vaccines are an effective option to fight against viruses. 40. The passage mainly aims to . A. analyze the origins of viruses B. explain the consequence of diseases C. draw peoples attenti
48、on to zoonotic viruses D. persuade people to protect the wild animals 41. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How Are Vaccines Made? B. Viruses Infected from Animals C. A Global Health Emergency D. Why Isnt There a Coronavirus Vaccine Yet? D How many more people can we s
49、queeze onto our fragile planet? Surely, the Earth must be full? Pretending that human numbers can grow forever, with no ill- effects, is at best innocent and at worst utterly irresponsible. Biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, deforestation, water and food shortages these are all worsened by our huge and ever-increasing numbers. Yet governments and most environmental groups choose to sidestep this giant elephant in the room. The human population was just 2.6 billion in 1950. But i
