【題目】 Greeting people can be confusing (令人困惑的) during cross cultural (跨文化) communications.

Will a simple handshake do? Should you give a hug or offer a kiss on the cheek (臉頰)? People in different countries have their own greetings.

The COVID 19 (2019冠狀病毒病) has challenged traditional greetings such as shaking hands, kissing and hugging. After all, close physical contact will increase the chance of spreading the virus (病毒). People have realized the risk and stopped using some traditional greetings.

Shaking hands is a common greeting. Now in the US, the elbow bump (碰肘) is the new handshake. US Surgeon General Jerome Adams introduced the elbow bump, which has been used by political (政治的) leaders, health officials and professional athletes (運(yùn)動員). Brad Hazzard, a health minister in New South Wales, Australia, advised people to pat (拍) each other on the back in place of a handshake.

French Health Minister Olivier Veran has advised the public not to kiss on the cheek. Italian authorities (官方) have made the same suggestion. French lifestyle expert Philippe Lichtfus said simply looking into a person’s eyes is enough.

In the face of such changes, how should you go about changing the way you greet people? Australian etiquette expert (禮儀專家) Susan Wilson has suggested simply greeting people by looking them in the eye, smiling and saying hello.

Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to the passage.

【1】Why did people stop using traditional greetings during the outbreak (疫情爆發(fā)) ?

A.Because it can be safer for each other.

B.Because different countries have different customs.

本文講述了新冠肺炎疫情爆發(fā)以后，人們停止了傳統(tǒng)的問候方式，用更安全的方式去問候。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“After all, close physical contact will increase the chance of spreading the virus (病毒). People have realized the risk and stopped using some traditional greetings.”可知，人們已經(jīng)意識到近距離身體接觸會增加病毒傳播的機(jī)會，所以在疫情爆發(fā)期間停止使用傳統(tǒng)的問候方式，因?yàn)檫@樣會對彼此更加安全。故選A。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“US Surgeon General Jerome Adams introduced the elbow bump, which has been used by political (政治的) leaders, health officials and professional athletes (運(yùn)動員).”可知，“碰肘”的打招呼方式被政治領(lǐng)袖、衛(wèi)生官員和運(yùn)動員使用。故選C。

【3】

詞意猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中“The COVID 19 (2019冠狀病毒病) has challenged traditional greetings such as shaking hands, kissing and hugging.”可知，握手、親吻和擁抱這些傳統(tǒng)的問候方式都是需要身體接觸，而這種接觸會增加病毒傳播的機(jī)會，所以此處contact的意思是“接觸”。故選B。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中“French Health Minister Olivier Veran has advised the public not to kiss on the cheek. Italian authorities (官方) have made the same suggestion.”可知，法國和意大利建議不要互相親吻臉頰。故選B。

【5】

主旨大意題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知，在疫情爆發(fā)以后，為了保證安全，人們停止了傳統(tǒng)打招呼的方式，同時(shí)提出了更加安全的打招呼方式，所以文章內(nèi)容主要與“更安全的問候方式”有關(guān)。故選A。

【題目】 A novel coronavirus （新冠狀病毒）, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected （感染）more than 40, 000people since the outbreak （爆發(fā)） began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic （人畜共患�。�, meaning they can be transmitted(傳播) from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals.Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin （穿山甲） may be the intermediate（媒介） host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild（輕度） to moderate（中度） upper respiratory tract illness（上呼吸道疾病）, similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune（免疫的）system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking.The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

To fight against the disease, as individuals（個(gè)人，個(gè)體）, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the （ 就……而言）government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

【1】Where did the outbreak begin?

______________________________________________________________________

【2】What animal does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

______________________________________________________________________

【3】What symptoms （癥狀） may people have when they are affected?

______________________________________________________________________

【5】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
