20.The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes.Now,thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack,that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010,while planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space,he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag's design.By 2012,the bag was ready for the public.It weighed only 180grams and required very little storage space,making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly,the bag worth 55dollars was an instant hit with travelers,university students and even passengers.However,Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a flaw with his invention-dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active,dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water.The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes.After a quick wash,they are clean and ready to be dried.According to Newland,the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks!What's even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water,it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year,only weighs 300grams and is completely foldable,making it easy to store when it's not in use.With the Scrubba Wash Pack,wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop,or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!

32.What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?D
A.His job requirements.
B.A traditional washboard.
C.His interest in invention.
D.His personal experience.
33.Why wasn't Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?B
A.Clothes couldn't be washed well.
B.The invention was not so convenient.
C.The bag couldn't contain enough water.
D.The cost of the invention was very high.
34.It can be inferred that the improved Wash PackC.
A.turns to be much environmentally friendlier
B.will replace the traditional washing machines
C.will be widely used by more travelers in the future
D.can encourage more people to travel a long distance
35.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.Introducing a great new invention.
B.Explaining the development of backpack
C.Listing some common problems for travelers.
D.Comparing two kinds of washing machines.

分析 本文講述了scrubba洗包的來(lái)源以及功能.

解答 32.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010,while planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space,he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.可知計(jì)劃攀登乞力馬扎羅山時(shí)便攜式洗衣機(jī)便在2010新發(fā)明出來(lái),在有限的包裝空間擊中,他從傳統(tǒng)的洗衣板創(chuàng)建一個(gè)包,可以用來(lái)清潔衣服得到啟示.故選D.
33.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段However,Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a flaw with his invention-dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!他發(fā)現(xiàn)臟衣服只能單獨(dú)放一個(gè)袋子,不方便,所以有些不滿意.故選B.
34.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段With the Scrubba Wash Pack,wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop,or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!與scrubba洗包相比,在國(guó)外的城市尋找一個(gè)洗衣店,或者購(gòu)買洗衣機(jī)可能很快成為過(guò)去的事情!故選C.
35.A主旨大意題.本文講述了scrubba洗包的來(lái)源以及功能.故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

5.I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.
My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.She and I got to the checkout counter,and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list.She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.
"I'll be right back."she said.
She was gone just a few minutes,but at that time,I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up.I was left staring at the cashier,who was staring at me."Do you have money for me,son?"she said."I'll need to be paid."
I didn't realize she was just trying to please herself.So I stood there,ashamed and embarrassed.
By the time my mom returned,I was angry."You left me here with no money!This lady asked me for the money,and I had nothing to give her."
Now that I'm an adult,you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.
I've always admired people who are over-prepared.In college,I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a speech on an overhead projector(投影儀) and in the middle of his talk,the light bulb(燈泡)on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.
"It's Okay."he announced."There's nothing to worry about."
We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector.Who could even think of that?
I often told my students,"When you go into the wilderness,the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you."And essentially,the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office.So take money.Pack a light bulb.Be prepared.

25.Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?D
A.The boy was shopping by himself.
B.The boy's mother asked her to do so.
C.The boy's mother was away for something else.
D.The cashier was playing a joke on him.
26.Why was the boy angry with his mother?B
A.His mother left him alone.
B.He lost face in front of the cashier.
C.His mother forgot to buy something.
D.He had just quarreled with the cashier.
27.Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?A
A.He was always well-prepared.
B.His speech was about bulbs.
C.He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.
D.He knew the bulb on the projector would blow out.
28.What do the two stories tell us?C
A.Accidents happen almost every day.
B.Money is the key that opens all doors.
C.In fair weather,prepare for a rainy day.
D.Chances favor those who are well-prepared.

Every day I spend half an hour reading selected books.I like the stories very much because all of them are very interesting.Now I can read bools very much faster than before.However,sometimes I find it difficult to go on,for there are lots of new words in the stories.I don't have a large vocabulary,so I can't understand all the sentences.I would be thankful if you would give me some advice on what I should do when I came across unknown words in reading stories.
Yours,
Jiang Hua.
