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 merit 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 . 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 bathsd. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease2.which of the following best describes henry ivs attitude to bathing?a. afraid. 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 authors 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.【参考答案】14、ca cd2016高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 this year some twenty-three

meeting had come to an end. bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “how embarrassing! i am getting so clumsy in my old age.”everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. it came around to frank who sat quietly listening to the others. someone said, “come on, frank. tell us your most embarrassing moment.”frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “i grew up in san pedro. my dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. he had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. he worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home.”he looked at us and said, “i wish you could have met my dad. he was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. when you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. he would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. his rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. no matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”franks voice dropped a bit. “when the weather was bad he would drive me to school. he had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. that truck was older than he was. it would wheeze and rattle down the road. you could hear it coming for blocks. as he would drive toward the school, i would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. he would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. it was so embarrassing for me. here, i was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”he paused and then went on, “i remember the day i decided i was too old for a goodbye kiss. when we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. he started to lean toward me, but i put my hand up and said, “no, dad.” it was the first time i had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. i said, “dad, im too old for a goodbye kiss. im too old for any kind of kiss.” my dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ youre right,” he said. “ you are a big boy.a man. i wont kiss you anymore.”frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “it wasnt long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. it was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not dad. he had a big family to feed. they found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. he must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”i l
