　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　(2024·南陽(yáng)第二次質(zhì)量預(yù)測(cè))October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

　　Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments.These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

　　Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public Private Partnership for handwashing with soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (細(xì)菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then，wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

　　The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.

　　Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.

　　It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine.It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year，by almost half.

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀：10月15日為“全球洗手日”，創(chuàng)建這個(gè)節(jié)日的目的是鼓勵(lì)發(fā)展中國(guó)家的人們用肥皂洗手。

　　1．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

　　A．To keep healthy by washing hands.

　　B．To wash hands with soap.

　　C．To take action to wash hands.

　　D．To wash hands often.

　　解析：寫(xiě)作目的題。結(jié)合全文尤其是第一段內(nèi)容可知作者寫(xiě)這篇文章意在告訴人們用肥皂洗手。

　　答案：B

　　2．Which of the following is the right way to wash hands?

　　a．Washing hands well under running water.

　　b．Covering hands with soap.

　　c．Drying hands.

　　d．Rubbing hands with soap.

　　e．Wetting hands.

　　A．a(chǎn)－c－b－e－d

　　B．e－d－a－b－c

　　C．a(chǎn)－c－b－d－e

　　D．e－b－d－a－c

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段介紹了洗手的正確方法：①wet your hands；②cover them with soap；③rub it into all areas；④wash well under running water；⑤dry your hands with a clean cloth因此D項(xiàng)的排序正確。

　　答案：D

　　3．Which fact can't explain why soap is important?

　　A．It gives people a longer handwashing time.

　　B．It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands.

　　C．It attracts people to do more handwashing.

　　D．It gets all people into the habit of washing hands.

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知，肥皂的重要性有三點(diǎn)：一是增加洗手的時(shí)間；二是幫助清除細(xì)菌；三是肥皂的香味兒增加人們洗手的幾率。因此可排除D項(xiàng)。

　　答案：D

　　4．According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that ________.

　　A．kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year

　　B．causes the greatest number of child deaths

　　C．can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soap

　　D．can't be cured without washing hands

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，痢疾是造成兒童死亡的第二大原因，使用肥皂洗手可使痢疾患者的人數(shù)幾乎減少一半。由此可推知用肥皂洗手在某種程度上可避免痢疾的發(fā)生。

　　答案：C

　　B

　　(2024·廈門(mén)質(zhì)量檢測(cè))A mother was devastated,_crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road. The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was already killing her, but no one knows what made her cry?

　　Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really

　　the pain you can ever overcome. Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accident was terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.

　　The whole time she walked with her child in her arms, the only thing that worried her was Aryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growth, and figuring what she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow, life can change in a second.

　　On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this light that could be seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter.That light changed Radha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came at a speed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk, and the speed took everything in its path.Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.

　　But the mother wasn't hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn't see Aryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby, but alas ... The child hadn't even seen life.

　　Simply, don't drink and drive.You_could_take_a_life，but_kill_a_number_of_people.

　　5．The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 would probably mean “________”．

　　A．worried

　　B．scared

　　C．heart-broken

　　D．weather-beaten

　　解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。從該詞所在句的“crying，yelling all she can...”可知，這位母親傷心欲絕，所以devastated語(yǔ)義同heart-broken，選C項(xiàng)。

　　答案：C

　　6．Which of the following statements is TRUE of Radha?

　　A．She had expected much of Aryan.

　　B．She got her eyes injured in the accident.

　　B．drunk driving is certain to kill a lot of people

　　C．the driver killed Aryan and his mother

　　答案：D

　　8．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．The Death of a Miserable Child

　　B．A Sad Mother on a Windy Night
