20.Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time,according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health Sciences.The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the"5-second rule"-the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less.Although people have long followed the‘5-second rule',until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.
The study,undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton,Professor of Microbiology at Aston University,monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet,cement floor to toast,pasta,biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3to 30seconds.The results showed that:time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food,and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect,with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5seconds.Professor Hilton said,"Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time."
The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the‘five-second rule'.The survey showed that:87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor,or already have done so.55% of those that would,or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women.81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the‘5-second rule'.Professor Hilton added,"Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food,with women the most likely to do so.But they are also more likely to follow the‘5-second rule,which our research has shown to be much than an old wives'tale."

24.According to the passage,which of the following is true?D
A.A toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.
B.A sticky chocolate dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.
C.The food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor.
D.The food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30seconds.
25.What is the passage probably developed?A
A.Contrast    B.Example  C.Time       D.Space
26.How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?D
A.Puzzled     B.Upset    C.Satisfied    D.Astonished
27.What is the main idea of this passage?B
A.The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.
B.A research on the safety of food dropped on the floor is undertaken.
C.The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.
D.People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀.文章主要介紹了關(guān)于食物掉在地板上是否安全的研究.

解答 24-27 DADB
24.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5seconds."可知30秒內(nèi)掉在水泥板上的東西不像掉在地毯上的那么安全.故選D.
25.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet,cement floor to toast,pasta,biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3to 30seconds."可知文章采用的是對(duì)比的方法.故選A.
26.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food,with women the most likely to do so"可知Professor Hilton對(duì)于大多數(shù)人愿意吃掉食物是很驚訝的.故選D.
27.B.主旨大意題.縱覽全文并根據(jù)"The study,undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton,Professor of Microbiology at Aston University,monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet,cement floor to toast,pasta,biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3to 30seconds."可知文章主要介紹了關(guān)于食物掉在地板上是否安全的研究.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科教類閱讀.此類題型主要考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.細(xì)節(jié)理解題是針對(duì)文中某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題,所以在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要結(jié)合原文和提干有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要聯(lián)系上下文根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.在做主旨大意題時(shí)考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn),確定主旨.

Studying Abroad
The topic of my speech today is"Studying Abroad".
Attending schools abroad has many advantages.Firstly,by looking at our own country from outside,we can widen our vision and broaden our minds.(高分句型一)Secondly,we can visit famous scenic spots and make friends with the local people.Thirdly,we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly.(高分句型二)
However,there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign school.The most serious problem is the language barrier.Most students do not have adequate knowledge of the language spoken there.On arriving there,they find it difficult to understand what the teachers are saying.Furthermore,the cost of living is much higher than that in our country,so most students have to find part time jobs to support themselves.Faced with these difficulties,many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and learn little.(高分句型三)
On the whole,it is a good thing to study abroad.However,one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.
Thank you for your listening..

10.We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代溝).The name is new,but the idea is old.Young people and their parents don't understand each other.The world has always kept changing.During the second century after Christ a wise man said,"Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down."
There has always been a gap between generations,but more people talk about it now.Old Mr.Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.
"When I was a boy,I thought the world was a beautiful place.My life was very pleasant.But when I was older,I learned about people who were treated badly,people who didn't have enough to eat.I wanted to help them,and I married a girl who wanted to help them,too.We went to meetings and talked a lot,but it didn't seem to make much difference."
"Our children grew up in a world at war.They didn't know when the fighting would stop.They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys.They didn't want to think about the future.They thought nothing could be done about it."
"Now I have grandchildren,and they have their own ideas.They are trying to make the world better.They are trying to help other people.They're making people listen to them.I am proud of their generation."

10.Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?B
A.Mr.Ellis'generation
B.His children's generation
C.His grandchildren's generation
D.None of the above.
11.Which generation is/was more efficient in making the world better one?C
A.Mr.Ellis'generation.
B.His children's generation.
C.His grandchildren's generation.
D.None of the above.
12.What is the writer's attitude towards the generation gap?D
A.Unacceptable.B.Awful.C.Funny.D.Common.
