8、. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.Kindleysides, who is paralysed (瘫痪的) from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton (外骨骼) to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could k
9、eep moving.In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumour (脑瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs.

10、hon, but he never made the plan to do sountil this year.During the London Marathon, the last twomile race was the hardest. “At that point, I was exhausted.

11、ght, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity，” he said. “I didnt want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue.” So he continued and made history as the first paralysed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.Then, recovering at

16、l coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), also named COVID19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathingthe NCPs symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu, but its potentially more dangerous.Viruses coul
17、d be deadly, like HIV and Ebola. But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble?Viruses are nonliving organisms (有机体) approximately onemillionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they cant reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduc
18、e, spread and take over.Viruses can infect every living thingfrom plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noti
19、ceable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the Tcells of the im
20、mune system.But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult”， Ed Rybicki, a virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses
21、 dont leave fossils and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells theyve invaded.”However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved f
22、rom pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses coevolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the
23、most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.5What can we learn about viruses from the text?AViruses have nothing to do with the common cold.BViruses are really small livin
24、g organisms.CViruses cant reproduce unless they find a host cell.DViruses enter our bodies mainly through the mouth, nose and hair.6Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?AThey evolved from the fossils of large organisms.BThey evolved from parasites into independent organisms.CTh

26、l become more like bacteria as they evolve.CIt may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.DThe author is optimistic about future virus research.CFacial expressions carry the meanings that are determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in g
27、eneral an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many
28、people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians d
29、ont smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our
30、 own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expression permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations man
31、y Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalise about Americans and their facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People fro
32、m certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” other people incorrectly.9Wh

Even though their desire to enjoy this vast and beautiful landscape can be appreciated, Antarctica should be closed to tourists.Tourists in Antarctica can damage
46、scientific research and hurt the environment. When tourist groups come, they take scientists away from their research. The work is difficult and some of the projects can be damaged by such simple mistakes as opening the wrong door or knocking against a small piece of equipment. In addition, tourists
