22、Gu Ailing, the United States-born Olympic skiing gold medalist, who is also known as Eileen Gu, said that she competed for China to inspire the nation’s young girls to get interested in the sport.

23、How is this virus transmitted?
This is an outbreak of disease that started in Wuhan, one of the central Chinese cities. It’s caused by a novel coronavirus that means it’s brand-new. 【1】
What are the symptoms?
The virus is from a family called the coronaviruses. The symptoms of this illness are pretty mundane (平 凡的) on the face of it: it’s a dry cough fever and then breathing problems. 【2】 However, as for the more severe cases, people have gone on to develop viral pneumonia, and all the deaths have been among those people.
【3】
This brand-new coronavirus came from animals, and it’s believed that the source was actually a seafood market in Wuhan, which also sells wild animals. So far all the cases have come out of Wuhan. But some people haven’t picked it up there.
Should I be panicking about this outbreak?
As we can see, older people are ending up in hospital with the virus. They’re usually over 40, and the very youngest person diagnosed is about 13 or 14 years old. So it doesn’t appear to be affecting small children.
【4】. Basically, their immune systems are not very strong, and they’re going to find it very hard to fight off a virus.
It’s necessary for ordinary people to wear masks and doctors should wear protective clothing.
How is this virus transmitted?
We’ve only just discovered that the new coronavirus is actually transmitted from one person to another. It was hoped at first actually that it just came from animals as all coronaviruses do. 【5】 .So we’ve got people to people transmission, because the market has been closed for sometime, and there are cases in people who’ve never been near it.
A.It seems quite mild in lots of people.
B.Where have cases been confirmed so far?
C.It is so new that actually it doesn’t have a name yet.
D.People diagnosed with viral pneumonia will die.
E.It is a brand-new virus so we don’t know how it’s going to behave.
F.Those confirmed cases who have died tend to have heart disease or cancer already.
G.Now it looks as though it is actually passed from one human being to another, however.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I heard her sing when I opened the door. And I saw my crippled(跛腿的) grandmother was dancing. I was absolutely shocked. Her legs were crippled as long as I could remember. She once was the pet of the dancing world. And then she had her accident and it was all over. I read that in an old newspaper. She turned around and saw me. Grandmother sighed and turned towards the kitchen. I followed her and saw she was walking fine. So, out of curiosity, I asked her “what’s going on?”
Oh Dear, let me share a little story of mine. “When your grandfather went to war, I was so afraid of losing him, the only way I could stay sane was to dance. And I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then I went home and reread his letters until I fell asleep. He always ended his letters with‘You are my joy. I love you with my life’ and after that he wrote his name. And then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’”
“I made my decision there and then. I bought myself a cane and start pretending to be crippled. I told a reporter I had a car accident, and couldn’t dance again. Then I went to see your grandfather.” I told him “you’re not the only one who lost a leg; I am not going to let you feel sorry for yourself. There is a whole life waiting for us out there! I don’t intend to be sorry for myself, so youd better snap out of it too.” Grandmother giggled and continued. “I limped toward him and showed him two engagement rings. ‘Now show me you are still a man,’ I said, ‘I won’t ask again.’ He bent to take his cane from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. And so he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
I looked at the drawing on the kitchen wall, sketched by my grandfather. “You are my Joy. I love you with my life.” I murmured quietly.
注意:所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
Grandmother looked me in the eyes and asked me to make a promise.
