【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章说明了感染了新型冠状病毒的一些症状、传播途径以及如何保护自己。

1.考查非谓语动词。本句中call应用非谓语动词形式，且called 2019-nCoV officially 充当后置定语。being called...表示“正在被称作……”不符合语境。故去掉being。

2.考查动词时态。根据时间状语in December，2019可知表示发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故is改为was。

3.考查名词的数。symptom为可数名词，根据后文列举的多种症状a runny nose, sore throat, cough and fever，可知此处应改为名词复数symptoms。故symptom改为symptoms。

4.考查比较级。句意：对某些人来说，它可能更严重，并导致肺炎或呼吸困难。结合句意表示“更严重”，应用形容词比较级。故most改为more。

5.考查副词。修饰后文的句子，应用副词rarely，表示“更少见的(是)……”。故rare改为rarely。

6.考查冠词。patient为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且infected是以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故infected前添加an。

7.考查名词。此处作动词maintain的宾语，表示“距离”，应用名词distance。故distant改为distance。

8.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，wear在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且本句中缺少主语，故用动名词短语Wearing a medical mask作主语。故Wear改为Wearing。

9.考查副词。句意：然而，它必须与其他预防措施相结合，包括洗手和避免密切接触才能生效。结合句意可知，上下文为转折关系，故应用副词however。故Therefore改为However。

10.考查介词。句意同上。结合句意表示“与……相结合”短语为be combined with。故to改为with。
