21、 Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the advantage of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
【1】The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .
A.they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C.they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D.they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
【2】Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A.disapproving B.Curious. C.Approving. D.Uninterested.
【3】How does the passage mainly develop?
A.By providing examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time. D.By following the order of importance.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To stress the role of dirt. B.To introduce the history of dirt.
C.To call attention to the danger of dirt. D.To present the change of views on dirt.
22、Every year, 1.5 million kids around the world die as a result of not getting vaccines (疫苗). This is partly because transporting and storing medicines can be a huge challenge in some countries.
Anurudh Ganesan, 17, knows this firsthand. When he was a baby in India, his grandparents carried him 10 miles to a health clinic in a remote village to receive a vaccine. But by the time they arrived, the vaccines were no longer usable because they had been overheated.
Vaccines, Anurudh later learned, must be kept cool to stay effective. But refrigerating them requires electricity or ice – precious resources that many developing countries lack.
Although Anurudh eventually received the vaccine he needed, his experience as a baby and the sad reality that so many other children aren’t as lucky motivated him to take action. The high school student invented Vaxxwagon, a portable vaccine-carrying device that generates its own power to keep lifesaving medicines cool as they’re delivered to remote areas around the world.
Anurudh first got his idea for Vaxxwagon in 2014. He read several textbooks to learn everything he could about refrigeration, and then he did research online to learn more about vaccines. Rather than relying on electricity or ice, Anurudh figured out a way to use wheels to power a refrigeration system for about eight hours. The entire rechargeable cooling system can be pulled to areas in need of vaccines by a bicycle, a car, or an animal. Eventually, Anurudh took his design to professors at Johns Hopkins University for advice. Not only did they confirm Vaxxwagon could work, but they offered him funding to help build it.
Anurudh was rewarded with the 2015 Google Science Fair LEGO Education Builder Award for his invention. Anurudh says his final goal is to start selling Vaxxwagon to relief organizations, so it can be used to help people around the world.
Anurudh, who plans to pursue engineering degree in college, says, “Don’t give up on your ideas. But always try to help others with your projects. That’s the point of engineering – to help people.”
【1】Why do many children die every year?
A. They lack qualified medical teams.
B. They cannot afford usable medicines.
C. They don’t have an electricity system.
D. They have no access to effective vaccines.
【2】What is special about Vaxxwagon?
A. It can serve as a fridge.
B. It can produce safe vaccines.
C. It can detect deadly diseases.
D. It can be a means of transport.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Anurudh?
A. Caring and creative.
B. Modest and sympathetic.
C. Loyal and determined.
D. Honest and hard-working.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. One good turn deserves another.
C. Motivation is the mother of success.
D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
23、The goji berry (枸杞), which has been part of Chinese culture, is now being viewed as one of the hottest superfoods available today. This small berry is thought to have anti–ageing powers and has achieved newfound global standing as a superfood. The Chinese call it the goji berry or wolfberry.
The goji berry, which is packed with Vitamin C，is viewed as a fruit. China’s love of the goji berry dates back hundreds of years. At home，Chinese men and women will put dried goji berries over homemade chicken to give themselves a vitamin increase. The goji berry is also viewed as a herb (药草). It is believed by doctors to improve liver and kidney (肝脏和肾脏) function.
However, there are certain times when doctors will not advise its use as it may exacerbate a patient’s condition. “If a person has a fever or sore throat, I would suggest patients stop taking goji berries during that period of time,” a Chinese doctor said.
Asia’s younger generations have accepted the goji berry, but are trying it in their own ways. For example, members of Gen Z (零零后一代) are now buy “wellness kettes (养生壶)” for their goji berry tea. Their parents recognize these as traditional soup kettles that have been repackaged by brands such as Buydeem and turned into a more Instagram–worthy shade of pink. A 2019 study on Gen 7. in China showed that this generation sees living a healthy life as a key priority, even over money and personal enjoyment.
The berry has also become popular with international consumers. Attracted by the superfood, whose popularity comes on the back of the global awareness of its medical value, people in the West are paying up to $10 for a package of the berries, around three times the price in China.
【1】What’s the function of goji berry?
A．It can treat a cold.
B．It makes homemade chicken more delicious.
C．It does good to the liver and kidney.
D．It can bring down a fever.
【2】What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Worsen.
B．Skip.
C．Prevent.
D．Awaken.
【3】Why is the example of Gen Z mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To prove Asia’s younger generations value goji a lot.
B．To argue the traditional soup kettles are better than “wellness kettles“.
C．To confirm the importance of such brands as Buydeem.
D．To show worries from the parents of Gen 7.
【4】Why is goji berry so popular around the world?
A．Because it is much cheaper in the West.
B．Because it has an attractive appearance.
C．Because it has a long history.
D．Because it has medical value.
24、 The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.
The handy sharpened-stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24, 000 BC, cavemen started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of their caves. 【1】 Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.
Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus (纸莎草纸). The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus.”
【2】 Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed(芦苇)-pen for the papyrus. 【3】 And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of fountain pen.
Another writing instrument that remained active in history for long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. 【4】 For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.
When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, man’s inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. 【5】
A.Then something was needed to write upon the papyrus.
B.The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.
C.Swan feathers were of high quality, being rare and most expensive.
D.Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.
E.These were mostly the stems of grass, especially from the bamboo plant.
F.This led to the development of the modern fountain pen in the 19th century.
G.These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.
