二、完形填空。(共15 小题; 每小题1 分, 满分 15 分)
One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is simply to wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce ________16 and save lives. But many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One ________17 is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a ________18 thing to do.
To help ________19 this problem, Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar from India created a product called the SoaPen to turn handwashing into a ________20 activity.
As the name suggests, the SoaPen is a pen made of soap that kids can ________21 with. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If ________22 do not spend enough time washing it off, the colours will remain on the children’s hands. It’s a fun ________23 to teach kids how to wash their hands.
Issar said the SoaPen was invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and to ensure that children spend enough time washing their hands. This may be especially ________24 in a classroom. Often a ________25 does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands ________26 .
Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time ________27 they’re drawing on their hands, and under water they have to rub really hard to remove the drawing. So they actually wash their hands ________28 just going under water.
The product could have a great ________29 on public health. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) reported that 1. 5 million children ________30 each year as a result of diarrhea(腹泻). UNICEF said that good handwashing habits could reduce that number by 40 percent.

Wonderful Inventions from Kids
Kids are natural inventors. They often create amazing things from simple ideas. Here are a few examples that might make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that ”
Popsicles Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a small stick in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. He couldn’t drink it, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids in summer. More than a hundred years later, popsicles are still one of the best summer treats!
Earmuffs When the 15-year-old American boy Chester Greenwood was ice-skating in 1873, his ears were so cold that he couldn’t bear it. He tried covering his head with a scarf, but it was still not comfortable. After some thinking, Greenwood made wire(金属丝) into two circles and asked his grandmother to sew(缝) fur on them. He then connected them with an iron headband(束发带) and the first pair of earmuffs was invented!
Crayon holders When 11-year-old Cassidy Goldstein needed crayons for her painting, she had a hard time because there were so many small or broken ones. She found some small clear plastic tubes(管子) at home. They fit tightly around the crayons. She was now able to hold them easily. This is how she invented crayon holders.

Shanghai is home to a population of nearly 25 million, 47,500 tall buildings and more than 6 million vehicles. If a visitor to the Nanjing Building in downtown Shanghai opens a window and reaches out to take a photo of the area, safety worker Fan Tianyu will receive an immediate alarm on a smart bracelet. He then will rush to the scene of the incident in the seven-storey structure. Fan will tell the visitor to stop taking photos and close the window.
At the start of 2021, Shanghai became the first city in China to sign a document covering the development of its digital transformation. The bracelet is part of a smart system used in the building to sense safety risks that could fall on crowds of passersby below. For example, when the flow of passers-by on Nanjing Road reaches a risk level, the district urban operation management center lets out a “large passenger flow warning” to shops. And the building’s smart system sends a notice to the safety manager.
The system uses a range of advanced technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, and Internet of Things’ sensing abilities. It judges the building for visitor flow, fire prevention, noise levels, and use of the elevator. The system produces reports that are like health checkups for the building 24 hours.
Xu Huili, director of the center said, “The city, which is a window for the world to see China, is a pioneer in bringing forward the urban digital transformation of the city. It is also trying to use digital urban management, which helps improve governance capability in big cities and finally benefits local people.”
The Shanghai government has announced that the use of smart systems will help urban management in office buildings, large supermarkets and so on. The smart system, along with technological support from Huawei, now plays a big role in such work.

Chinese Way of Life with High-tech Inventions
With the rapid development of our economy, high technology brings convenience to our life.
Firstly, there are some shared-bikes around us. They’re very helpful and convenient for us to travel to places not far away from our home. Secondly, you can see the high-speed railway everywhere in China. Taking a high-speed train is not only comfortable, but also saves time. As for payment, we have many choices. We don’t have to carry cash. Electronic payment, like WeChat Pay and Alipay, is widely used in daily life, making payment much safer and more convenient. In addition, we communicate a lot in ways like WeChat and QQ, which are quicker and more efficient.
All in all, our life will become more comfortable and convenient.
