二、阅读理解
As the weather gets colder, the flu becomes a common health problem. Many students may suffer from the common cold, but they are different in seriousness.
The flu, short for influenza, is a serious respiratory(呼吸的) illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads easily: when an infected person coughs or sneezes, virus-carrying droplets float(飞沫) in the air. You can also get it by touching objects like door handles with viruses and then rubbing your nose or mouth. Close contact with an sick person — such as hugging, shaking hands, or sharing personal items like towels or water bottles — can also lead to the spread of the flu viruses.
Compared to a cold, flu symptoms (症状) are more serious. Patients usually have a high fever (39 - 40℃), sharp headache, muscle pain, and extreme tiredness. Some may also have a sore throat or cough, and kids might even have vomiting(呕吐) or diarrhea(腹泻). Most people get better in a week, but the flu can lead to pneumonia(肺炎), especially for young children and the elderly.
Luckily, we can prevent it. First, wash hands often with soap. Second, keep rooms ventilated — opening windows lets fresh air in and reduces viruses. Third, avoid crowded places when flu is widespread. The best way is to get a flu vaccine(疫苗) every year, which lowers the risk of getting sick.
If you have flu symptoms, rest at home and see a doctor if you feel worse. Stay healthy this winter!

【解析】
1. 主旨大意题：文章依次介绍了流感的定义、传播途径、与普通感冒的症状区别，以及预防流感的方法，整体围绕流感的基本常识和预防措施展开，故选D。
2. 细节理解题：根据第三段中“Patients usually have a high fever (39 - 40℃), sharp headache, muscle pain, and extreme tiredness.”可知，肌肉疼痛是流感的症状之一，故选B。
3. 细节理解题：根据第二段内容，流感传播途径包括吸入带病毒飞沫、接触带病毒物体、与感染者密切接触（如分享毛巾等个人物品），但分享干净未使用的毛巾不会传播流感病毒，故选C。
4. 词义猜测题：划线词后提到“opening windows lets fresh air in and reduces viruses”，由此可推断“ventilated”意为“通风的”，与airy意思相近，故选C。
