Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donors（捐赠者） will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important 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. Partners include the United Nations Childrens Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub（揉搓） it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect（感染）themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.50. Whats the best title for this passage? A. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way. B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important. C. Hand washing: so important-it gets a day of its own. D. Want to live a longer life? -wash your hands.51. The word “rinse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.

A. how to wash your hands correctly B. why washing hand with soap is so important C. the dangers of washing hands without soap D. when we should especially wash our hands with soap53. In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage? A. Medical care B. Public service C. Health report D. AdvertisementCTea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about teaPeople in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of teaUntil then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was addedShe found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four oclock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.54. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?A. The Britons got expensive tea from India. B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.C. The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D. It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.55.

Tea became a popular drink in Britain _.Ain eighteenth century Bin sixteenth centuryCin seventeenth century Din the late seventeenth century57. We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of_.Aa famous French lady Bthe ancient ChineseCthe upper social class Dpeople in HollandD In the 1880s, Mark Twain established and operated his own publishing firm. He also became interested in various investments, especially an elaborate typesetting machine. He lost almost $200,000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894. Also, his publishing company declared bankruptcy (破产) in April 1894. Thus, in January 1895, Mark Twain found himself publicly shamed by his inability to pay his debts. Mark Twain eventually recovered from his financial difficulties, through his continued writing and a successful lecture tour in 1895 and 1896. During this much-publicized tour, Twain lectured in such places as India, South Africa and Australia. By the time he returned, he had become an international hero. Twain enjoyed this attention, and his habits of smoking cigarsora pipe and wearing unconventional white suits contributed to his showy image. He also made use of his position as a public figure to criticize the US foreign policy. Although he was recovering from his financial problems by 1898, Mark Twain had begun to experience tragedy in his personal life. Susy, his oldest daughter, died of meningitis (脑膜炎) in 1896, while her parents and sister Clara were abroad. In 1903, Mark Twain sold the beloved house in Hartford, which had become too closely associated with Susys death. His wife, Olivia, who had developed a heart condition, died on June 5, 1904. His youngest daughter, Jean, died on Dec. 24, 1909.58. Which is not the reason why Mark Twain found himself in debt?A. Because he devoted all his energy to his writings.B. Because his publishing firm bankruptcy.C. He lost almost $ 200 000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894.D. Because he lost a large quantity of money in various investments.59. How did Mark Twain pay off his debts?A. By borrowing money from the bank. B. By investing in foreign countries.C. By writing articles and having a successful lecture tour.D. By printing his own articles and selling them for money.60. It can be inferred that Mark Twain _.A. hated smoking cigars B. liked wearing black clothesC. hated the US foreign policy at that time D. hated giving lectures in the foreign countries第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you.
