23、ece looked through the camera videos, watching the womans every step in the bar until she went outside to sit on a bench and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bars Facebook page, asking if anybod
24、y knew the guy. Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadnt eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prat
25、her, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. G
26、illeece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “Hes going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.” The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Final
27、ly a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallets owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather.

31、 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了新婚女子 Grace不小心丢了钱包，钱包里还有结婚戒指。Prather 捡到了钱包， 但是只拿了钱， 没有拿戒指。 在找到戒指后， 酒吧店主 Gilleece 没有指控 Prather， 相反还帮助了他。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段中“she went outside to sit on a bench and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket.(格雷斯走出酒吧,坐在 长椅上，等她的车来了就
32、离开了。这时，一个年轻人走近长凳，把什么东西放进口袋里)” 可知，新婚女子 Grace 把她的钱包丢在了长椅上，被 Prather 捡到。故选 B。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中提到“He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean.”，Prather 说他看到了戒指，但只是拿了钱，把 钱包从公共码头扔到海里；第三段中提到“Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search f
33、or it.” Gilleece 打算雇佣两名潜水员去寻找戒指。由此可知，Gilleece 带 Prather 去码头是 为了寻找他扔出去的戒指。故选 D。 【6 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“He also gave the kid a job at his bar. ”可知，案件结束后， Gilleece 想帮助 Prather，在自己的酒吧里给了 Prather 一份工作。故选 C。 【7 题详解】 主旨大意题。Grace 丢失的钱包被少年 Prather 捡到，里面有结婚戒指。但是 Prather 只拿 了钱，并没有拿结婚戒指。酒吧店主 Gilleece 在找到了戒指后，不仅撤回
34、了对 Prather 的 指控， 没有让Prather入狱， 并且还帮助他， 给了他一份工作。 Gilleece的做法改变了Prather 的命运。所以短文主要是关于一个钱包改变了一个青少年的生活。故选 C。 C One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, espe
35、cially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do. To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun act
36、ivity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly. “Its such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people arent doing it, and its resulting in actual d
37、eaths-which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method, said Issar. As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they dont spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children
38、s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly. Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because theyre drawing
39、on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off. Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPe
40、n to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe. 8. Why is SoaPen invented? A. To teach kids the importance of handwashing. B. To make money from children consumers. C. To help kids wash their hands correctly. D. To rid kids of some kinds of
41、diseases. 9. Which statement will Issar probably agree with? A. SoaPen is designed for classrooms. B. Handwashing is anything but little. C. Some teachers ignore kids health in school. D. Kids dont know the right way of handwashing. 10. What does “obliterate” underlined in paragraph 5 mean? A. Remov
42、e. B. Reserve. C. Learn. D. Show. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. SoaPen has become popular worldwide. B. Kids health should be paid more attention to. C. SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools. D. The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 这是
43、一篇说明文，两位来自印度的两位女企业家伊萨尔和阿南德发明了一种产品发明了 SoaPen，它能帮助孩子养成爱洗手的好习惯，让洗手成为孩子们一种乐趣。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.(一个问题是孩子们洗 手的频率不够或时间不够长。孩子们可能认为这是一件令人厌烦的事)”以及第二段中的 “Amanat Anand and
44、Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly.(伊萨尔和阿南德发明了一种叫做 SoaPen 的工具，旨在教孩子们养成良好的洗手习 惯，并鼓励孩子们适当、定期地用肥皂洗手)”可知，孩子们认为洗手是一个厌烦的事情， 他们洗手频率不够或者洗手的时间不够，伊萨尔和阿南德发明 SoaPen 的目的在于让孩子们 对洗
45、手产生兴趣，从而培养良好的洗手习惯，正确地洗手。因此，发明 SoaPen 的目的是 C 项“To help kids wash their hands correctly.(帮助孩子正确洗手)”符合题意，故选 C项。 【9 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 Issar的话“Its such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people arent doing it, and its resulting in actual deaths-which is shocking. (这是一个很简单的习惯， 但事实是人们没有这样做，而且它会导致实际死
46、亡)”可知，洗手时一个很简单的习惯，但 是很多人没有做好这个习惯而导致死亡，因此，伊萨尔认为，洗手是一件关乎生命的大事。 因此，伊萨尔可能会同意的说法是：B项“Handwashing is anything but little.(洗手可不是什 么小事)”符合题意。故选 B项。 【10 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据该段的“Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because theyre drawing on their hands.(实际上，孩子们洗手的时间是适当的，因为他们在画画)”以 及该句中的“they
47、actually wash their hands instead of just going under water.( 他们实际 上是洗手，而不是仅仅在水下)”可推断出，划线词所在句子的意思为“为了清除这些 涂画， 他们实际上是洗手， 而不是仅仅在水下”， 即划线词“obliterate”的意思为“清除 （去 除）”，清除（去除）SoaPen留在手上的痕迹。由此可知，划线词与 A 项“remove(去除)” 意思接近。故选 A 项。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。依据该段的“Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywher
48、e will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.(伊萨尔和阿南德说，在世 界各地生产的 SoaPen 将有助于通过洗手在全球城市推广良好的习惯)”可知，发明者表示 SoaPen 将在世界各地生产，这也会促进在全球推广好的洗手习惯，她们对 SoaPen的未来有 信心。因此，我们从最后一段可以了解到 D 项“The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.( 发明者认为 SoaPen 前途光明)”符合题意。故选 D项。 D One of t
49、he most recognizable symbols of Scotland is the kilt (百褶裙). Resembling knee-length skirts, kilts originated in the 16th century as a common form of clothing for men and boys living in an area of northern Scotland known as the Scottish Highlands. A special feature of kilts, even to this day, is the plaid (格子呢) patterns. T
