五、閱讀理解 （30’）

A

Men are dirtier than women. Scientists proved it by spying in public restrooms, watching one-quarter of the men left without washing their hands. In contrast, 90 percent of the women did wash up. Many results show the single easiest step to stay healthy is spending 20 seconds rubbing hands with soap under faucets(水龍頭). They also explain we should use paper towels to open bathroom doors. There exists the possibility that the person before you left germs(細(xì)菌) on the knob(把手).

Back in 1996, the society first studied how often people followed Mom’s advice to always wash up after using the toilet. Researchers stayed in public restrooms a little longer, putting on make-up or combing their hair, while secretly counting. They concluded about one-third of people did not wash.

They also started an education campaign about how hand washing can stop the spread of-the flu, diarrhea(腹瀉) and other infectious diseases. Every few years, researchers repeat the investigation.

This time, 83% of people washed, reported Harris Interactive, a research company that last month monitored more than 6,300 public restroom users for the society. That is a little better overall.

People praise themselves about hygiene(衛(wèi)生). A telephone survey of 1,000 adults found 91% insisted they wash in public restrooms. Additionally, 77% claimed to always wash before handling or eating food, and 32% after coughing or sneezing(打噴嚏).

With the influenza season approaching, microbiologists(微生物學(xué)家) warn that it is easy to catch a cold or the flu by shaking hands with someone who just used that hand to cover a sneeze. The viruses can stay alive for two hours on hands, and for 20 minutes on hard, dry surfaces those germy hands touch. So sneeze into your elbow(肘部) instead and wash frequently.

1. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A. rubbing with soap for 20 seconds can keep healthy

B. paper towels can keep you from germs

C. women will not leave germs on the knobs

D. washing hands is important to us in daily life.

2. From the text, we can learn that _________.

A. half of people didn’t wash their hands during the 1996 study

B. Harris Interactive has engaged in the research for more than ten years

C. people pay more attention to their hygiene now

D. shaking hands is unhealthy and dangerous

3. Why does the author advise us to sneeze into our elbows instead of into our hands?

A. Because this can avoid passing on our flu to others easily.

B. Because we eat with hands, not with elbows.

C. Because a dirty hand is more easily seen than a dirty elbow.

D. Because it is much easier to wash an elbow than a hand.

4. According to the text, we can infer that ________.

A. a cold or flu is caused by sneezing

B. our hands are full of viruses in the influenza season

C. education on hand washing is necessary

D. we should wash our hands and elbows frequently

(BBC News April 18) All flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries have been cancelled as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south.

Up to 4,000 flights are being cancelled with airspace closed in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark among others.

The UK’s air traffic control service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in UK airspace until at least 07:00 BST on Friday for fear of engine damage.

Safety group Eurocontrol said the problem could last for 48 hours.

The volcano is still erupting and the wind direction is expected to continue bringing clouds into UK and European airspace for some time to come.

The UK’s airspace restriction was the worst in living memory, a Nats spokesman said.

Some 600,000 people are thought to have been affected.

Nats suggested that the restrictions were unlikely to be lifted(解除) after 07: 00, saying it was “very unlikely that the situation over England will improve in the foreseeable future”.

Passengers were advised to contact their carriers before traveling.

Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said he was “closely monitoring the situation” and would be meeting with key transport officials on Friday morning.

Experts have warned that the tiny particles of rock, glass and sand contained in the ash cloud from the still-erupting volcano could be sufficient to jam aircraft engines.

The Health Protection Agency said the ash from the eruption did not bring a significant risk to public health because of its high altitude.

However, the British Lung Foundation has warned people with lung conditions to keep their medication (醫(yī)療護(hù)理) with them as a precautionary measure.

These are some of the knock-on effects:

Eurocontrol says Germany is monitoring the situation and considering partial airspace closures.

The two main airports in Paris and many others in the north of France are closing.

There is severe disruption(崩潰) in France and Spain, where all northbound flights are cancelled.

Nats is due to make an announcement shortly as to the arrangements that will be in place through to 13:00 BST on Friday.

British Airways offers refunds or an option to rebook after all its domestic flights are cancelled.

5. What may passengers do on hearing the news according to the passage?

A. They may cancel their international flights.

B. They may contact the airlines before traveling.

C. They may take measures to protect their lungs from the ash.

D. They may stay indoors till the volcanic eruption dies down.

6. Why have some European countries cancelled flights after the volcanic eruption?

A. Because the volcanic ash may make passengers ill.

B. Because people refuse to take the international flights.

C. Because the volcanic ash may jam or damage the engine.

D. Because the flights may be hit by the rocks from the eruption.

7. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. All the flights are likely to return to normal in 48 hours.

B. British people had experienced a worse airspace restriction before that.

C. Germany is monitoring the situation and considering closing all airspace.

D. The UK airspace restrictions are unlikely to be lifted in the foreseeable future.

The French are living up to their image as lovers of food and can add a new love to the mix, sleep, according to a survey released Monday. In fact, the French outdo the others at the two leisure activities, spending more time at table and in bed.

The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at the use of leisure time among 18 of its 30 member countries.

Norwegians spend the most time at leisure, just over a quarter of their day, while at the low end, Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun.

The French still win in the sleeping and eating categories, spending on average nearly 9 hours a day in bed. For the French, leisure continues in the waking hours, with more than 2 hours a day spent eating and drinking nearly twice as much time at the table as Americans, Canadians or Mexicans.

Americans also like their sleep, spending some 8.5 hours a day doing just that.

Despite the moderate amount of time Americans spend eating each day about an hour and a quarter U.S. obesity(肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30-member OECD with 34 percent of the American population with a Body Mass Index, or BMI, over the critical 30 mark. The lowest obesity rates are found in Korea, followed by Japan, with less than 4 percent of the population with a BMI over 30.

The Koreans followed by the Japanese clock in at the low end of the sleep time range, getting 7.8 hours a day with the Japanese not far behind.

Television ranks high among leisure activities in Japan where it takes up 55 percent of free time, compared to a low of 25 percent for New Zealanders.

The Turks are the most sociable population. They spend more than 35 percent of their time entertaining, compared to an OECD average of 11 percent.

It had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida. I had driven to town hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child.

I parked my truck and decided to try and locate a telephone to see if the Florida Barber College had moved to a new location.

After walking about a block I saw an open shoe store. I walked inside and asked if I could use their telephone book. Unable to find a listing for the Barber College, I picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college was still in business. The number was busy, so I decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.

As the salesman and I stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair. "I need a new pair of shoes," said the customer. As he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap. I was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.

“A gift for a friend?” I asked the boy. “No,” he replied. “They are for me,” he continued, with a smile on his face. I just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.

“What type of shoe would you like?” asked the clerk. “How about a pair of cowboy boots?” The man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were displayed. The salesman, sharply turning, headed off to the backroom.

“Isn’t this fun?” the boy asked me. I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question. “When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year. That was such a wonderful feeling. Something I have never forgotten. The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around the store showing off my new shoes.”

The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box. He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man. The boy closed his eyes. He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath. I did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young man’s cheeks. “What type of accident did you have?” I asked him. “Farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.

“Do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him.

“Oh, yes!” he answered.

“I see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talked about,” I told the young man, as I smiled.

“Yes it does.” he said “And I may have someone, and his feet to share it with some day.”

12. Why did the young man want to buy a new pair of shoes?

A. Because he bought a pair every year.

B. Because he wanted to send a new pair to a friend.

C. Because he hoped to keep it for memory.

D. Because he enjoyed the feeling of possessing a new pair.

13. The author writes about the barber shop at the beginning of the article in order to _______.

A. introduce the background of the story

B. see if the Barber College had moved to a new location

C. find a listing for the Barber College

D. pick out a local beauty salon

14. How did the author feel when he saw a young man without legs buying a pair of shoes?

A. Unexpected. B. Proud. C. Sympathetic. D. Superior.

15. What can you conclude from the passage?

A. The young man was a stubborn person.

B. The author was a man of understanding.

C. The cowboy boots were fashionable then.

D. The disabled envied much those healthy.

六、任務(wù)型閱讀（10’）

This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.

Here is a 2-way student exchange in action .Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived .But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.

Family life ,too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually .Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.

“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time .In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .”

At the same time, in America, Mike ,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools” he says , “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better than in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
