高二英语时文阅读精练（含答案解析）
A
Coronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the dia, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.
As fears over the coronavirus pandemic spread, there’s one question that comes up again and again — how bad is it really? The verity of symptoms can vary dramatically, from a mild sniffle
to a hellish feeling of suffocation.
Here are some of the coronavirus patients' stories:
Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73
Jaimuay Sae-ung was the first Thai national to contract coronavirus, becoming ill in December. She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia (
肺炎) while in
quarantine. After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged
following two negative test results.
Carl Goldman, 67
Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess crui ship and
later tested positive for coronavirus. He said the virus “hasn't been that bad”. He developed a fever
and “a bit of a cough” during his flight back to America and was quarantined on his return. He said: “The sickest I've ever been was when I had bronchitis (
支气管炎) veral years ago. This
has been much easier — no chills, no body aches. I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy no.
“My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I
probably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now has
no symptoms, but is still testing positive.
Marc Thibault, 48
Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spain

last month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home. A week
later he was diagnod with coronavirus. He said the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”. Marc,
a school vice principal, said: “You feel like you're asphyxiating, and you’re panicking becau you
can’t breathe. He added that he felt “one inch from death” and remains in intensive care.

【答案】1-4 CDBD
【解析】本文是说明文，主要为新冠肺炎病人对自己病症的描述。
1. 细节理解题。解此题，需要从文中找出每位病人的反应：Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73感染新冠
肺炎的症状是“She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia(
肺炎)”；
Carl Goldman, 67则是“the virus “hasn't been that bad”. He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” ”；而Marc Thibault, 48感觉“the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”
”，由此可知，
病人的病症是非常不同的，故选C。
2. 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.
”，尤其是“following two negative
test results”可知，两次检测阴性之后，从常理来说应该是出院了，故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据Carl Goldman, 67这部分第一句“Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess crui ship and later tested positive for coronavirus.
”可
故选B。A选项was still in hospital错误；C选
是在游轮上感染上肺炎的，故选
知，Carl Goldman是在游轮上感染上肺炎的，
错误。
项没提到学生是否感染；D选项has been tested negative错误。
错误。
4. 写作意图题。纵观全文可知，主要是三个感染新冠肺炎的病人对自己病症的描述，故选
D。

超过13.2万，并有5000余人死亡。余人死亡。
句子分析：此句主句为Coronavirus survivors have spoken out ，其后是what 引导的宾语从句，做介词about 的宾语；该宾语从句后接which 引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the dia 且which 在定语从句中做主语。
2. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual. 句意：如果我在家也有类似的症状，我可能会像往常一样去上班。如果我在家也有类似的症状，我可能会像往常一样去上班。
句子分析：此句主句为后半句，前半句是if 引导的条件状语从句；需注意的是整个句子使
用了虚拟语气，因是对过去的假设，所以if 引导的句子中动词用过去完成时，主句动词用
would/could/should+ have done 。

The Serious Reason You Should Never Store Potatoes in the Fridge
It could put your health at risk.
You’ve just come back from the farmer’s market or the grocery store with a big sack ①
of
potatoes. But you’re not going to u them all at once, so the best way to keep them fresh is to store them in the fridge, right?
Not so fast. When it comes to potatoes, sticking them in the refrigerator could increa your risk of cancer. Why? Here’s the chemistry behind it:
The colder temperature of a refrigerator can convert ②
the starch (淀粉) in potatoes into孙国琴
sugar.
Then, when you bake or fry the potatoes at temperatures above 250ºF, tho sugars combine with the amino acid asparagine (天冬酰胺氨基酸) and produce a chemical called acrylamide (丙烯酰胺), according to the American Cancer Society.
Acrylamide is a chemical that’s ud to make paper, dyes, and plastics, as well as to treat
drinking water and wage ③
. The main way people are expod to acrylamide is through smoking,
but it’s also found in foods such as French fries and potato chips, crackers, bread, cookies, cereals, and coffee.
So how dangerous is acrylamide? Rearch in mice has shown that the chemical incread
the subjects’ risk of cancer. Studies in humans haven’t demonstrated consistent ④
evidence that
exposure to acrylamide through diet rais the risk, but there have been mixed results about kidney, endometrial, and ovarian cancer.
Though mice and humans metabolize ⑤
acrylamide at different rates, the National Toxicology Program classifies the chemical as a carcinoge
n (致癌物) bad on studies of lab animals that ingested ⑥
acrylamide in drinking water.
The good news? Studies have shown that not refrigerating potatoes and decreasing cooking time to avoid browning can reduce acrylamide content. So play it safe and go with the American Cancer Society’s recommendation ⑦ for your spuds ⑧
: Keep them out of the fridge, store them in a
cool, dry place, such as a cabinet ⑨ or pantry ⑩, and just cook them lightly.but don’t think your pantry is your be -all and end -all when it comes to food storage.
