Question

【题目】 Fighting an enemy that we cannot see is terrible. The novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒） is one of these invisible（看不见的） enemies and it brings us a great disasters. It has infected（感染） 435,519 people in China and other places in the world as of（截至） March 25. It was reported that it killed 3,281 people in China.

But even if we cannot see the virus, we know how it behaves and spreads around. It is just like most other viruses. To prevent any respiratory（呼吸系统）illness, what we can do is to have good personal hygiene（卫生）. And that includes wearing a mask and washing hands. By wearing a mask, we keep ourselves away from the droplets （飞沫）that infected people coughed and （打喷嚏）. These droplets can spread the virus — as far as two meters! But these droplets don’t stay in the air for long. They quickly fall and land on surfaces, like tables or clothes. They can also be passed on to elevator buttons（电梯按钮）and door knobs（把手）by our hands. The novel coronavirus can stay alive for quite a long time on smooth surfaces, so washing hands becomes important.

A new discovery about the virus makes it even more necessary to keep these hygienic habits even if we don’t think we’ve interacted（接触） with anyone infected. According to People’s Daily , there is evidence that the virus might be contagious（有传染性的） even before patients start showing symptoms（症状）. And these people don’t even know that they’re ill yet.

"However, this epidemic（传染病） brings us a positive（积极的） change. It’s that we’ve developed better hygienic habits. After all, washing our hands is really what we should do every day.

【5】 taken place After all

【解析】

文章介绍了新型冠状病毒的传播途径以及要求人们要做的一些预防措施，要保持良好的个人卫生，包括戴口罩及勤洗手。

【1】根据文中The novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒） is one of these invisible（看不见的） enemies and it brings us a great disasters. It has infected（感染） 435,519 people in China and other places in the world as of（截至） March 25. It was reported that it killed 3,281 people in China. 新型冠状病毒就是这些无形的敌人之一，它给我们带来了巨大的灾难。截至3月25日，中国和世界其他地区已感染435519人。据报道，它在中国造成3281人死亡。可知，这个“敌人”我们是看不见的，所以第一空应该填can’t see，而第二空是说疫情导致3281人死亡，而空格前的主语是people，所以这里应该用被动结构，所以应该填were killed，故答案为can’t see，were killed。

【2】根据文中what we can do is to have good personal hygiene（卫生）.And that includes wearing a mask and washing hands. 我们能做的是保持良好的个人卫生，包括戴口罩和勤洗手。可知这里缺的是“包括”，且在句中与前句隔开，所以这里是一个介词的用法，所以这里应该填including，第二空是“洗手”，and并列前面是ing形式，所以后面也用ing形式，故答案为including，washing hands。

【3】根据文中But these droplets don’t stay in the air for long. They quickly fall and land on surfaces, like tables or clothes. They can also be passed on to elevator buttons（电梯按钮）and door knobs（把手）by our hands. 但这些飞沫不会在空气中停留太久。它们很快地落在地面上，像桌子或衣服。它们也可以通过我们的手传递到电梯按钮和门把手上。可知这里说的是“不仅会很快落在地上而且会通过我们的手传到电梯按钮或者门把手上”，所以第一空缺的是not only，第二空缺的是door knobs，故答案为not only，door knobs。

【4】根据文中A new discovery about the virus makes it even more necessary to keep these hygienic habits even if we don’t think we’ve interacted（接触） with anyone infected. 一项关于这种病毒的新发现使我们更有必要保持这些卫生习惯，即使我们认为我们没有与任何被感染的人接触过。可知第一空缺的是“更有必要的”，英语是more necessary，而第二空是指“任何被感染的人”，英语是anyone infected，这里是过去分词作后置定语，故答案为more necessary，anyone infected。

【5】根据文中However, this epidemic（传染病） brings us a positive（积极的） change. It’s that we’ve developed better hygienic habits. After all, washing our hands is rally what we should do every day. 然而，这种传染病给我们带来了积极的变化。我们养成了更好的卫生习惯。毕竟，洗手是我们每天应该做的事情。可知这里指的是“积极的变化在我们周围发生了”，而句中有since，空格前有has，所以这里直接用过去分词，所以填taken place，而第二空表达的是“毕竟”，英语是after all，故答案为taken place，After all。
