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 IVs 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 authors 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 What is the secret of happiness?A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise.People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra$25,000 ayear.Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise,maybe you should hit the gym instead,as it could make you just as happy as that extra money.An interesting new study,published in the Lancet,found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of wellbeing than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn$25,000 more per year.Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans.They were asked,“How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days.for example,due to stress,depression,or emotional problems?”Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities,including doing housework and childcare,running,weightlifting,and cycling.The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year,while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden.Social physical activities（that is to say,team sports such as football,basketball,etc）had an even more positive effect,which can best help people relax mind.It is possible for some to get too much exercise.From Business Insidersreport on the study.“The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who werent particularly physically active.”The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week.lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.But the conclusion should be that any amount helps,so dont stress about hitting that perfect balance:“All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”8.The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to _.A.introduce the researchers B.tell the secret C.draw a conclusion D.lead to the topic 9.Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?A.Running B.Walking alone.C.Playing football D.Keeping fit in the gym.10.According to the passage,the following are true EXCEPT that _.A.people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.B.The more exercise you take,the higher mental health burden you will get.C.overdoing exercising will do harm to peoples mental health.D.doing exercise is better than not doing it.11.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.B.The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.C.Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.D.The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.D Japans prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers,even family members,by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists,an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its playersand on viewers at home.The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes.On Tuesday,superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the womens team event,telling teammates and reporters she wasnt in the right“headspace”to compete.“Its been really stressful this Olympic Games.There are a lot of different variables going into it,”Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers.The English Premier League supplemented(增加)game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20,mixed with game audio in real time.A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans,and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle,the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast,says competitive athletes are trained in visualization imagining performing a certain action or motion,such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics.Without moving a muscle,players using visualization can solidify neural(神经的)connections and activate their motor cortex(皮层).To visualize most effectively,Houle says,athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay.Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players performance.This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called“social facilitation”,referring to a change in a persons performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.12.What caused Biles to drop out of the womens team event?A.The poor physical condition.B.The absence of the audience.C.The fiercely competitive event.D.The influence of crowds of fans.13.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B.The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C.The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D.The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.14.How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players performance?A.By doing a roundoff back handspring.B.By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C.By using the concept called social facilitation.D.By changing the viewers of a player.15.What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A.Athletes should be trained in visualization.B.Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C.Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D.Viewers present may influence players performance.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
