Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing. 1       In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538,the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. 2       Since then,even the rich in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. 3       Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the king ordered that,to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.

4       Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War H. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer,surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?

5       Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children not to touch dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist (免疫學(xué)家) ,encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

   A. So did the king of England in 1546.

   B. The rich and noble man lived an elegant life.

   C. Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century.

   D. However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

   E. So how to get rid of dirt has been under heated discussion.

   F. Henry IV,King of France,was famously dirty.

   G. Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.

本文主要介紹人們對(duì)是否應(yīng)該清除身體上的污垢的不同看法。在十六世紀(jì)早期,人們認(rèn)為人身上的污垢可以幫助抵御疾病的侵襲。在當(dāng)代,有很多人認(rèn)為從科學(xué)上來說,清除污垢才是有益于健康的,而一位免疫學(xué)家卻鼓勵(lì)孩子在臟的地方玩以此來增強(qiáng)免疫能力。

1. D前文說"在很多人看來,清除人體污垢是有益身體健康的",而后文描述的是十六世紀(jì)的人們卻認(rèn)為污垢可以幫助他們抵御疾病的侵襲。此處明顯需要一個(gè)表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的過渡句,. 故選D.

2. A前句提到"至1538年,法國(guó)國(guó)王已關(guān)閉了國(guó)家所有澡堂",A選項(xiàng)"英國(guó)國(guó)王在1546年也如此做了"表示和前句主語(yǔ)做的事情一樣,所以A選項(xiàng)放在此處十分恰當(dāng)。

3. F從前句可推斷,下句就是舉例介紹某位歐洲富人是如何和污垢"友好相處"的。后句"the king"表示特指,說明在此處一定提到了具體的哪個(gè)國(guó)王,所以應(yīng)選F。

4. C上文都在介紹十六世紀(jì)人們認(rèn)為污垢可以抵御疾病的觀點(diǎn),而下文明顯已開始闡述另一種觀點(diǎn),即"清洗掉污垢是有益健康的"。所以此處需要一個(gè)承上啟下的過渡句。故C選項(xiàng)恰當(dāng)。

5. G最后這一段并沒有對(duì)是否應(yīng)該清除人體污垢這個(gè)問題下結(jié)論,而是繼續(xù)表示針對(duì)這一問題有兩種不同的聲音。所以可得知此處應(yīng)選G,"現(xiàn)今人們對(duì)于污垢的態(tài)度仍有很大分歧。"

二、短文填詞

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and,having gained it,to learn how to use it 1       (proper) . Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather wellknown golf club 2        finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and

most of the members had left for their homes. But still a halfdozen or so men past middle age 3       (seat) at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can 4       (find) there day after day and,strangely enough,each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth,5       ( success) in business and was respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief requisite (必需品) for happiness,then each one should have been happy. Yet,it seemed to me,something very important 6       (miss) ,else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew,each one of them,that their productivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit,it is dying. And it is even so 7      a man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours?

To me,that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections. In fact,the battle of life,of existence,is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul,too,have been and10       will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith.

How often have you used brainstorming to solve a problem? Chances are,you've used it at least once,even if you did not realize it. For decades,people have used brainstorming to generate (生成) ideas,and to come up with creative solutions to problems. However,you need to use brainstorming correctly for it to be fully effective. 1       Step 1 :Prepare the Group First,set up a comfortable meeting environment for the session. Make sure that the room is well lit and that you have the tools,resources,and refreshments that you need.

How much information or preparation does your team need in order to brainstorm solutions? Remember that prep is important,but too much can limit―or even destroy―the freewheeling nature of a brainstorming session.

2      A room full of likeminded people won't generate as many creative ideas as a diverse group,so try to include people from a wide range of disciplines and include people with a variety of different thinking styles.

Step 2 :Present the Problem Clearly define the problem that you want to solve,and lay out any criteria that you must meet. Make it clear that the meeting's objective is to generate as many ideas as possible.

Give people plenty of quiet time at the start of the session to write down as many of their own ideas as they can. 3       Step 3 :Guide the Discussion Once everyone has shared their ideas,start a group discussion to develop other people's ideas,and use them to create new ideas. 4       Encourage everyone to contribute and to develop ideas,including the quietest people,and discourage anyone from criticizing ideas.

Share ideas if you have them,but spend your time and energy supporting your team and guiding the discussion.

5       People are most creative when they are enjoying themselves in a relaxing environment.

   A. Consider who will attend the meeting.

   B. After the brainstorming session,you'll have a lot of ideas.

   C. Above all,remember to let everyone have fun while brainstorming.

   D. To run a group brainstorming session (會(huì)議,會(huì)期) effectively,follow these steps.

   E. Building on others' ideas is one of the most valuable aspects of group brainstorming.

   F. Then,ask them to share their ideas,while giving everyone a fair opportunity to contribute.

   G. Make sure that you get a good number of different ideas,and explore individual ideas in detail.

Newspapers and websites are two major new medium in the world today,both of them can provide us with lots of news and information. But they're different in some way.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost somewhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.
