Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block outdisease, 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. So did the king ofEnglandin 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor inEuropelived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king ofFrance, was famously dirty. 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.
Though the belief in the merit(优点 of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. 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 II. 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?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家, encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the
latter position is gaining some ground.
4. The kings ofFranceandEnglandin the 16th century closed bath houses because . A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in C. they considered bathing as cause of skin disease D. They believed disease could be spread in public baths
5. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Curious B. Afraid C. Approving D. Uninterested 6. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of time. B. By making comparison. C. By providing examples D. By following the order of importance. 17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages? A. To call attention to the danger of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt. C. To present the change of views on dirt. D. To stress the role of dirt.
C
Summer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor(流星)shower event!
The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake(尾迹)of light and color1 behind them.”
Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50- 100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .
Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial(天上的)event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere(半球)during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.
“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.

Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!
For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12. 8. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower? A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.
B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday. C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place. D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them. 9. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower? A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere. B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere. C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere. D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.
10. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors? A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors. B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene. C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. . D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.
11. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________. A. browse the unofficial website of NASA B. watch a video recorded by a flight center C. stream a live show on Aug. 11 night
D. use special devices to connect with the shower

Dragon boating is a team sport that has its root in ancient China. The boats are decorated with a dragon head and tail. In recent years cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help rebuild their lives.
On a recent Saturday morning, a group of 20 women were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC.
They moved their paddles(船桨in rhythm to the call of a coach. The women belong to the dragon boat team GoPink! DC, which trains weekly. It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals. As a result, GoPink! DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival.
Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was demoralized because of my illness - I lost all interest in life and wouldn't even get out of bed to eat. But now I love the team spirit. I just love everything about it. It is like a floating support group on the water.”
The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Annette Rothemel helped establish(建立the group in 2006. She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor. “It is sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.” But Ms Rothemel saysdragon boating can be physically demanding, especially for someone who is sick and getting treatment for cancer.
“It’s hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life. This is something I look forward to. I get to be out here with my sisters and supporters that understand what I’m going through and help motivate me. So it makes me stronger and it makes me feel better,” another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.
Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they paddle together. She says both feelings are treasured by the team. 12. What do the underline wordsdemoralizedIn para.3 probably mean?
A. depressed B. anxious C. astonished D. awkward 13. What can we know about Lydia Collims from the text? A. she helps establish Go Pink !DC B. she tries to find a cure for the cancer C. she benefits from the dragon boat race D. she gives up hope because of her illness
14. How can the dragon boat race help the cancer survivors A. forget their tough experiences B. recover physically and mentally C. get rid of the pains of their cancer D. enjoy their rest life without sufferings
15. What does the text tell us about Annette Rothemel? A. she is an expert in studying the cause of the cancer

B. she helps the cancer survivors in financial difficulties
C. she believes there is a healthful result from the dragon boat race D. she thinks it unwise for the patient to join in the dragon boat race 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
