21、   If there had to be a father of handwashing in history, it would be Ignaz Semmelweis. While working at Vienna General hospital, the Hungarian doctor, faced with a situation in which maternal death (孕产妇死亡) in hospitals were significantly higher than local clinics, tried hard clues as to why.

Germs (细菌) were yet to be discovered, and it was still believed in the 1840s that disease was spread by bad smells in the air. So it didn’t seem a problem that trainee doctors hanging out of labs to dissect (解剖) human bodies would pop up to the maternity ward (产房) to deliver a baby without washing their hands.

Then an accidental finger cut by a knife during a dissection caused a doctor to die, seemingly of the same sign the mothers had been getting. Semmelweis assumed that something from the dead bodies was to blame, which might, through the hands of doctors, make their way into women’ s bodies during childbirth.

To test his theory, he ordered doctors to wash their hands and instruments in some chlorine solution. As a result, the death rate for new mothers dropped to about 1 percent, compared with that of as high as 18 percent before the experiment.

However, he faced great resistance, and met a sad end. People at that time didn’t think of themselves as sort of walking Petri dishes. And the majority of doctors then were from middle- or upper-class families, and thought of themselves as very clean people.

Over the next 40 years, a better understanding of germs developed, and attitudes to hygiene (卫生) gradually shifted. In 1876, the German scientist Robert Koch discovered the anthrax bacillus (炭疽), kicking off the new research field of medical bacteriology. Many more germs were later identified. Surgeons started to take handwashing seriously.

By the 1890s and into the early 1900s, handwashing moved from being something doctors did to something everybody had been told to do.

【1】What was the situation like in the 1840s?

A．Germs might have been discovered then.

B．Women suffered from delivering babies then.

C．The air at that time was dirty and full of viruses.

D．People were unaware of how disease was spread.

【2】What does the underlined word “Solution” probably mean?

A．Liquid.

B．Option.

C．Tissue.

D．Shell.

【3】How did the public feel about handwashing at first?

A．It was effective.

B．It was necessary.

C．It was ridiculous.

D．It was dangerous.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Steps to Protect Yourself

B．Disease Spreading by Your Hand

C．Hand Washing Critical in Fighting Viruses

D．The First Recorded Discovery of Handwashing

22、   It has become a habit for many of us. When you're tired of online shopping, you head to the bathroom to do your best makeup for the perfect selfie(自拍)for Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or all of the above. When you're ready, you hold up your phone and, in an instant, snap(拍照)。

But have you ever wondered what's behind your burning desire to self-document?Most people would say that this is a way to express themselves and perhaps make them become more confident of themselves. But the moment you upload that picture, it's no longer yours to judge. Instead, you pass on that power to the online world.

While you may think that your growing collection of selfies attracts people, quite the opposite may be true. A recent study was conducted on a total of 238 people in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. 77%of the people surveyed admitted to regularly taking selfies. Interestingly, 82% of people said that they would rather see fewer selfies on social media. In other words, we like taking selfies but seriously dislike looking at other people's selfies online.

This research finds that there is a big difference between how we see our own selfies and how we judge other people's pictures. It suggests that we are comfortable with the selfies we post since we believe they are obviously not serious or vain, but we think everyone else is an egoist(自我主义者)for doing the very same thing. After all, we are able to separate our own selfies from the sea of them online and naturally think that ours are the only authentic ones.

So, the next time you reach for your phone and take a selfie picture, consider this: The people around you may not  need another carefully planned snap of your face. Instead, you might be better off, giving it a break and calling off the selfie photo today. While you're at it, make sure you never post these pictures on social media either.

【1】What is most people's idea on taking their own selfies according to the text?

A.It's a good way to keep others informed of their life.

B.It costs less money than shopping online for makeup.

C.It's a way of self-expression and building confidence.

D.It can help them keep a record of their daily routines.

【2】How do other people feel about our online selfies that we consider attractive?

A.They actually take great interest in them.

B.They envy our life after appreciating them.

C.They are likely unwilling to see them online.

D.They hardly make annoying reviews on them.

【3】Why do we regard others as egoists for taking selfies?

A.They are not serious but vain in nature.

B.We don't think their selfies are authentic.

C.We are too proud to acknowledge others.

D.They hate getting their selfies polished.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Approaches to resisting taking selfies.

B.Concerns over posting selfies online.

C.Doubts about contradictory thoughts.

D.Suggestions on dealing with selfies.

23、Winemaker Justin Jarrett remembers when the grape harvest used to start. He and his wife Pip, used to take their kids on an annual beach holiday in February. When they returned to their vineyards (葡萄园) in the regional New South Wales city of Orange, Australia, in early autumn, they’d start the harvest. Today, harvest starts six weeks earlier in January.

“What we did 20 years ago can’t work today, ”Jarrett says. “You have to adjust. ”

Scientists used to have big debates about how to talk to farmers about climate change, says Snow Barlow, a professor specialising in viticulture at the University of Melboume. But recently there’s been a sea change. “Farmers are now saying. This is serious and we want to get on with doing things, ” he says.

“Wine is a classical industry that has been very influenced by climate, ” Barlow says. “You grow grapes in particular areas because you think it’s the ideal place to grow a particular grape to create the perfect wine. ”

Rising temperatures are not just affecting harvest times, but also the types of grapes that grow well in particular areas. Major labels, such as Brown Brothers, have moved some of their operations to the southern state of Tasmania where there are cooler sites for varieties such as chardonnay and pinot noir. Others are changing their varietal mix, introducing grapes from southern Italy, Sicily and Greece that are more heat- tolerant.

The Jarretts have spent years adapting their winemaking business for a warmer world. They’ve invested in infrastructure, help them manage the compressed (缩短的) harvest time, and introduced more sustainable soil and pest (害虫) management practices.

Jarrett is growing their grape varieties at higher elevations (海拔高度) than he used to. Sauvignon blanc, for instance, which he used to grow at 700m, has been moved up to 900m. He thinks he can keep moving his operations up to about 1100m before he has to buy more land.

“We have to have a 20-year plan. If we’re going to move a variety or change something, we have to have at least 20 years of success to make it worthwhile,” Jarrett says. “We are really looking at varieties that are now considered hot climate. ”

【1】What do the Jarretts have to adjust to?

A．Their holiday plan.

B．Their neighborhood.

C．The identity as winemakers.

D．The earlier grape harvest.

【2】What can we learn from Snow Barlow’s words?

A．Scientists were divided over climate change.

B．Warm climate has caused a change in the sea.

C．Wine industry is particular about grape suppliers.

D．Farmers are aware of the gravity of climate change.

【3】How are the Jaretts coping with the impact on their winemaking?

A．By putting off the harvest time.

B．By introducing heat- tolerant grapes.

C．By planting grapes at higher elevations.

D．By moving their operations to a new land.

【4】What is Jarett’s opinion of the alternative approaches to the challenge?

A．Great minds think alike.

B．It is rewarding to try new things.

C．It is better to play safe than take risks.

D．One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

24、   At one time, about 300 native languages were spoken on the Australian continent. Only about 90 of them are still spoken today.

European settlers arrived in Australia in the late 1700s. Experts say that colonization had a harmful effect on native languages. Now, only about 60 of them are considered “alive” and in daily use. As older members of tribes die, other languages are likely to pass away.

In the central Australian desert, only 20 people are fluent in Pertame, a language native to the area. But now, children are being taught its ancient words in hope that it won't die out.

Bradshaw and Swan are among the native elders working to keep Pertame alive. Swan has published language books on Pertame. She is one of the last remaining fluent speakers of the language and founder of the Pertame School, opened two years ago.

Bradshaw is a teacher at the school. Children at the school not only learn the language, they also cook traditional food and learn history. “Our old people have all passed away. There are only a few of us left to teach our kids how our old people used to live. ” said Bradshaw.

According to community leaders, for many years, they were forbidden to speak their native language. Bradshaw recalls one of her experiences as a child, “The teacher walked past saying, ‘Don’t speak that language at school.’ We promised ourselves we would talk it in secret to keep it going. People don’t understand how important it is for Aboriginal (土著人的) people.”

In some schools in northern Australia, students learn in both English and an Aboriginal language. Many communities speak what is called “Aboriginal English”. It keeps some structures of Standard English and includes words from Aboriginal languages.

【1】How many native languages are used in Australia nowadays?

A.20. B.60.

C.90. D.300.

【2】What do we know about native languages in Australia?

A.They disappeared in 1700s.

B.They are being saved by elders.

C.They have bad effects on the young.

D.They are of little importance for the locals.

【3】Why Pertame School was founded?

A.To respect the old people.

B.To teach children to cook.

C.To keep the language Pertame alive.

D.To combine Standard English with Pertame.

【4】Which can best describe “Aboriginal English”?

A.It is becoming more and more popular.

B.It is being spread throughout Australia.

C.It has replaced English in northern Australia.

D.It includes some words of the native language.
