Shawn Seipler is on the way to saving lives with soap. It began about seven years ago as a tiny business with a few friends and family in a single car garage in Florida, where they recycled used soap into fresh bars. The organization, now called Clean the World, has grown to include cities where hotels are plentiful and used bars of soap can be gathered easily.
As a frequent traveler while working for a tech company, Seipler had a sudden thought one night at a hotel. “I picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked them what happened to the bar of soap when I was done using it，” he recalled. Learning that they would go to the dustbin, he began his task to help save lives with soap and even half used bottles of shampoo. It's a huge problem. One of the most common kinds of illnesses in the world are those that are passed from person to person and to oneself because of dirty things that are on one's hands.
In the U．S. and other developed nations, hygiene (卫生) products are everywhere. Not so in some other countries, where Seipler recalled visiting a hospital once in the Middle East to find that soap was in such short supply that patients had to provide their own. “It's such an important part of the interruption of infectious germs that could save so many lives.” he said.
Clean the World now collects used soap from more than 4,000 hotels and has delivered 25 million bars to 99 countries. The process is fairly simple with the collected soap being cut into pieces and then run through machines that remove any remaining bacteria before being pressed into new bars of soap and packaged for delivery.
1．Shawn Seipler got the idea of collecting second-hand soap ________. A．by chance B．from the front desk C．after calling his friend D．after visiting the Middle East
2．How do hotels deal with used soap traditionally? A．They sell it. B．They save it. C．They drop it. D．They recycle it. 3．What can be learned from Paragraph 3? A．Soap isn't fully appreciated. B．Soap can prevent many illnesses. C．Soap is needed in developed countries.
D．Soap means little to developing countries.
4．Which of the following can best describe Shawn Seipler? A．Determined and optimistic. B．Friendly and open-minded. C．Warm-hearted and creative. D．Hard-working and ambitious.
B
Animals do some pretty strange things. Giraffes clean their eyes and ears with their tongues. Snakes see through their eyelids (眼睑)．.. But some strange animal tales are not true.
Myth (谬论) One：Ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when they're scared. This is completely wrong! The ostrich is the largest living bird, but its head is pretty small. If you see ostriches picking at the ground from a distance, it may look like their heads are buried in the ground.
Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand — they wouldn't be able to breathe! But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs. Several times a day, a bird puts its head in the hole and turns the eggs. So it really does look like the birds are burying their heads in the sand!
Myth Two: Mother birds will refuse to accept their babies if they've been touched by humans.
Sometimes, kind-hearted humans who find a baby bird on the ground may want to return it to the nest. But the bird is probably learning to fly and shouldn't be disturbed. The tale may have been invented to keep people from handling young birds.
Most birds have a poorly developed sense of smell; they won't notice a human smell. One exception (例外) is vultures (秃鹫), who look for dead animals for dinner, but you wouldn't want to mess with a vulture anyway!
Myth Three: Penguins fall over backwards when they look up at airplanes.
It is said that British pilots saw penguins fall over backwards like dominoes (多米诺骨牌) when they looked up at the sky.
The experiment found that penguins are perfectly capable of maintaining their balance, even if they are watching airplanes. But the reality isn't funny, as low-flying aircraft can cause penguins to panic and leave their nests.
5．What can we learn about ostriches? A．They don't have their own nests. B．They dig holes in the dirt for their eggs.
C．They are the birds with the smallest heads.
D．If they are frightened, they will bury their heads in the sand. 6．What can we learn from Myth Two? A．Most people think the vulture is a lovely bird. B．Birds prefer to look for dead animals for food.
C．All birds have a strong sense of smell, except for vultures.
D．It might have been invented to keep people from disturbing young birds. 7．Which of the following events is TRUE? A．Snakes see through their eyeballs.
B．Giraffes clean their eyes and ears with their tongues. C．Penguins fall over backwards when they look up at airplanes.
D．Mother birds will refuse to accept their babies if they have been touched by humans. 8．Where may this text have been taken from? A．A science magazine. B．A travel magazine. C．A health magazine. D．A geography magazine.
课下能力提升(二)
Ⅰ.1.解析：选B 考查形容词词义辨析。free“自由的，免费的”；blank“空白的，茫然的”；open“敞开的”；empty“空的”。根据句意“她茫然的表情表明她还是没有明白我给她作出的有关那个句子的解释”可知B项正确。
2．解析：选C 考查动词短语。句意：萨姆在观看他人操作电脑的过程中学了些电脑知识。bring up“养育，抚养；提出(讨论)”；look up“仰视，向上看；查阅(词典或参考书)”；pick up “偶尔学得，习得；接某人；接收新闻广播等”；set up“建立”。
3．解析：选B 句意：尽管这位退休工人已经很老了做不了很多工作，但他对社区的事很热心。be enthusiastic about“对……热心，热衷于……”。anxious“焦虑的”；concerning“关于”；worried“担心的，焦急的”。
4．解析：选C 句意：我们没有足够的书给每一个人，你们中的一些人将不得不共用。根据语境可知，此处应用everybody。everybody与not连用构成部分否定。
5．解析：选A 句意表示“好朋友之间彼此分开是很难的”，所以要用separate；另外当不定式作状语，修饰adj.时，不定式必须用主动形式。
6．解析：选D 首先avoid用于句型avoid＋动名词；其次句子的主语“I”是punish这个动作的承受者，所以要用动名词的被动形式作宾语。
7．解析：选C 考查谓语动词的时态。句中的so far“迄今为止”，多用于现在完成时，因此答案为C。句意：迄今为止，进展非常顺利，我们相信这项工作能够按时完成。
8．解析：选D 考查非谓语动词。题干中含有“get sth. done”结构，表示“使某事被做”。
