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 1 and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One 2 is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a 3 thing to do.
To help 4 this problem, Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar from India created a product called the SoaPen（肥皂笔）to turn handwashing into a 5 activity.
As the name suggests, the SoaPen is a pen made out of soap that kids can 6 with. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash it off. If 7 do not spend enough time washing it off, the colors will remain on the children’s hands. It’s a fun 8 to teach kids how to wash their hands.
Issar said the SoaPen is invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and it ensures that children spend enough time washing their hands. This may be especially 9 in a classroom. Often a 10 does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands 11 .
“Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time 12 they’re drawing on their hands, and under water they have to rub really hard to remove the drawing. So they are actually washing their hands 13 just going under water.”
The product could have a great 14 on public health. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund（UNICEF）reports that 1. 5 million children 15 each year as a result of diarrhea. UNICEF says good handwashing habits could reduce that number by 40 percent.

八、阅读理解
A
What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
1. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. get readers to pay attention to road safety
B. tell readers the danger of self driven cars
C. ask readers to keep away from heavy traffic
D. make readers be interested in self driven cars
2. The testing self driven cars need ________ to run.
A. solar energy B. water
C. electricity D. coal
3. From the passage, we know that the testing self driven cars can already ________.
A. stop any accident on the road
B. turn around when getting near other cars
C. control the speed in dangerous situations
D. park themselves with the help of the drivers
4. Which is NOT helpful to make the self driven cars run safely according to the passage
A. E reading. B. Wireless signals.
C. Cameras. D. GPS.
5. What is Whit Drake's attitude（态度）toward the safety of the self-driven cars
A. He has doubt about it
B. He believes it completely
C. He doesn't care about it.
D. He dislikes new technology.
B
The son of a soap maker, Benjamin Franklin came into the world on January 17, 1706. There was only enough money for Ben to attend school for two years. At the age of 17, he made his way to Philadelphia. In 1741, the famous Franklin stove was invented by him.
Before Ben’s invention of the Franklin stove, people heated their homes with a fire in an open fireplace. Using a fireplace for heating was not good because most of the warm air came up to the chimney (烟囱) and was dangerous because the fire in the fireplace could set the house on fire. Ben built a box-shaped stove for having the fire itself. After the metal warmed up, the heat was out into the room. The Franklin stove used less wood and was a safer way to heat buildings.
What’s more, Ben was already interested in electricity. After many years of hard work, he finally had a plan to prove (证明) that lightning was electricity and he was successful at last with his son’s help. Although he had many inventions in life, he never kept them himself. He wanted to share them with people all over the world.
6. What can we know from the first para graph
A. Ben’s mother was a soap maker.
B. Ben was born in a poor family.
C. Ben went to England when he was 17.
D. Ben was not interested in inventing.
7. How did the invention of the Franklin stove help us
A. It helped us buy more warm houses.
B. It helped us read more books.
C. It helped us save money and be safer.
D. It helped us save some time to heat.
8. What does the last paragraph tell us
A. Ben and his stove. B. Ben and his family.
C. Ben’s hard life. D. Ben and electricity.
9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Ben was the only son in his family.
B. Ben went to school for only a year.
C. Ben bought a house in Philadelphia.
D. Ben did the lightning experiment with his son.
10. Why did the writer write the passage
A. To encourage us to write.
B. To tell us to learn more at school.
C. To tell us a famous inventor.
D. To encourage us to invent something.
B、阅读回答问题
This 12-year-old Girl Built a Robot to
Find Plastics in the Ocean
Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at that time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics ends up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem: a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing.”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math(STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.
“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.”
1.What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach
2.How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem
3.What can Du’s ROV do
4.Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future
5.What made Du succeed in building her ROV

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 1 and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One 2 is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a 3 thing to do.
To help 4 this problem, Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar from India created a product called the SoaPen（肥皂笔）to turn handwashing into a 5 activity.
As the name suggests, the SoaPen is a pen made out of soap that kids can 6 with. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash it off. If 7 do not spend enough time washing it off, the colors will remain on the children’s hands. It’s a fun 8 to teach kids how to wash their hands.
Issar said the SoaPen is invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and it ensures that children spend enough time washing their hands. This may be especially 9 in a classroom. Often a 10 does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands 11 .
“Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time 12 they’re drawing on their hands, and under water they have to rub really hard to remove the drawing. So they are actually washing their hands 13 just going under water.”
The product could have a great 14 on public health. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund（UNICEF）reports that 1. 5 million children 15 each year as a result of diarrhea. UNICEF says good handwashing habits could reduce that number by 40 percent.

A
What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
1. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. get readers to pay attention to road safety
B. tell readers the danger of self driven cars
C. ask readers to keep away from heavy traffic
D. make readers be interested in self driven cars
2. The testing self driven cars need ________ to run.
A. solar energy B. water
C. electricity D. coal
3. From the passage, we know that the testing self driven cars can already ________.
A. stop any accident on the road
B. turn around when getting near other cars
C. control the speed in dangerous situations
D. park themselves with the help of the drivers
4. Which is NOT helpful to make the self driven cars run safely according to the passage
A. E reading. B. Wireless signals.
C. Cameras. D. GPS.
5. What is Whit Drake's attitude（态度）toward the safety of the self-driven cars
A. He has doubt about it
B. He believes it completely

B
The son of a soap maker, Benjamin Franklin came into the world on January 17, 1706. There was only enough money for Ben to attend school for two years. At the age of 17, he made his way to Philadelphia. In 1741, the famous Franklin stove was invented by him.
Before Ben’s invention of the Franklin stove, people heated their homes with a fire in an open fireplace. Using a fireplace for heating was not good because most of the warm air came up to the chimney (烟囱) and was dangerous because the fire in the fireplace could set the house on fire. Ben built a box-shaped stove for having the fire itself. After the metal warmed up, the heat was out into the room. The Franklin stove used less wood and was a safer way to heat buildings.
What’s more, Ben was already interested in electricity. After many years of hard work, he finally had a plan to prove (证明) that lightning was electricity and he was successful at last with his son’s help. Although he had many inventions in life, he never kept them himself. He wanted to share them with people all over the world.
6. What can we know from the first para graph
A. Ben’s mother was a soap maker.
B. Ben was born in a poor family.
C. Ben went to England when he was 17.
D. Ben was not interested in inventing.
7. How did the invention of the Franklin stove help us
A. It helped us buy more warm houses.
B. It helped us read more books.
C. It helped us save money and be safer.
D. It helped us save some time to heat.
8. What does the last paragraph tell us
A. Ben and his stove. B. Ben and his family.
C. Ben’s hard life. D. Ben and electricity.
9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Ben was the only son in his family.
B. Ben went to school for only a year.
C. Ben bought a house in Philadelphia.
D. Ben did the lightning experiment with his son.
10. Why did the writer write the passage
A. To encourage us to write.
B. To tell us to learn more at school.
C. To tell us a famous inventor.
D. To encourage us to invent something.
【答案】 BCDDC
【解析】 6.理解题从文中there was only enough money for Ben to attend school for two years.他家只有够他上42年书的钱。故他家不富裕，贫穷。
7. 从第二段可知富兰克林炉主要是节能省柴火，安全。所以C正确。
8.从最后一段开头就说明“富兰克林对电感兴趣，并且证明闪电是电”可知答案D 正确。
9.理解题从 he finally had a plan to prove (证明) that lightning was electricity and he was successful at last with his son’s help.可知答案选D。
10. 主旨题，作者写这篇文章的目的是什么？就是介绍一个发明家。
B、阅读回答问题
This 12-year-old Girl Built a Robot to
Find Plastics in the Ocean
Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at that time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics ends up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem: a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing.”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math(STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.
“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.”
1.What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach
2.How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem
3.What can Du’s ROV do
4.Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future
5.What made Du succeed in building her ROV
【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了12岁小女孩Anna Du自己设计、研发机器人来清除海洋中的塑料垃圾。
1.Plastics. 2Twelve years old.
3.Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
4.Because she likes building things to help solve world problems.
5.A good engineering sense, the spirit of never giving up and the support from her parents.
