At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China. This type of coronavirus is
often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is believed that the virus was transmitted from
animals to humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed in people who had visited a market selling live
seafood and animals. Unfortunately, when viruses are transmitted from animals to people, it can take
scientists a lot of time before they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it.
Some of the symptoms of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, and
trouble breathing. These symptoms are very much like those people have with a cold or the flu. The virus
appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission occurs when someone comes into contact
with an infected person. For example, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause transmission. The spread
may also be caused by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching
your mouth, nose or eyes.
There is no specific vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally, symptoms will go away
on their own. However, experts recommend seeking medical care early if symptoms feel worse than a
standard cold. Doctors can relieve symptoms by prescribing pain or fever medication. As far as antibiotics are
concerned, they are useless to treat coronavirus. (AdaptedfromMyEnglishpage.com)
Question 39: Which best serves as the title of the passage?
A. The symptoms of coronavirus B. The origin of coronavirus
C. How to treat coronavirus? D. Coronavirus: Do you know about it?
Question 40: The word “Unfortunately” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____?
A. Unluckily B. Unpleasantly C. Uncomfortably D. Unacceptably
Question 41: Which is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a symptom of the coronavirus?
A. fever B. cough C. trouble breathing D. allergic
Question 42: According to paragraph 2, the coronavirus can be transmitted from person to person when
__________?
A. An infected person shakes hands with someone.
B. An infected person coughs or sneezes without covering.
C. Someone come into contact with something an infected person touched.
D. All are correct.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen
friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even
more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day
texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis
(outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-
day – 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media
every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication –
almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining
friendships) in the gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-
only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them
feel "more connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity – 62 percent
of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80
percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21
percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media – teens also
have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support
during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current
friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to
block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their
friends on social media." (Source: https://www.realsimple.com)
Question 44: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The difference of making new friends between girls and boys.
B. Social media connects friendship.
C. Social media affects friendship too much.
D. Teenagers are making and keeping friends in a surprising way.
Question 45: According to the passage, what percentage of teens spend actual time with their friends?
A. 23% B. 25% C. 27% D. 55%
Question 46: The word "digital" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. analogue B. numeracy C. numerous D. online
Question 47: The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. friends B. online-only friends C. online gamers D. their teammates
Question 48: What is the synonym of the word "breakup” in the last paragraph?
A. argument B. popularity C. combination D. divorce
Question 49: The following sentences are true, EXCEPT _____.
A. Most teenagers use video chat to maintain relationship with friends
B. New forms of communication play an important role in keeping friendships
C. According to the survey, more than half of teens have ever made new friends online
D. Teens only meet face-to-face one fifth of online friends they have made
Question 50: What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The majority of teenage users agree that social media has negative consequences in their lives.
B. Thanks to social media, more than two thirds of teens are supported when they face with challenges in
their lives.
C. Boys are more likely to meet new friends than girls.
D. Most teens are not easy to give others their usernames when making new friends.
