wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题 1，答案定位在第一段 Evy,his wife of 66 ears,had passed away,and he was lonely and sad in the months after her death.But he knew how to beat those feelings;he decided to build a pool.可知 Davison 建游泳池是为了排解孤独，故选 C。C Health advice on hand sanitizers 晨鸟教育 Earlybird Antibacterial hand sanitizers（免洗洗手液）are marketed as a good alternative（替代品）when soap and water are not available.Manufacturers say that their sanitizers kill 99.9 percent of germs（细菌）,but research suggests that this not the case.How do hand sanitizers work?Most sanitizers are alcohol-based;they work by removing the outer layer of oil on our skin,then the alcohol kills the bacteria.However,Barbara Almanza,associate professor at Purdue University,notes that hand sanitizers do not significantly reduce the amount of bacteria,and in some cases,can increase it.So the question arises,how can manufacturers say sanitizers kill 99.9 percent of bacteria?How can manufacturers make the 99.9 percent claim（声称）?Manufacturers test their products on bacteria-tainted surfaces.In this controlled environment,hand sanitizers do kill 99.9 percent of bacteria.However,the human hand is a lot more complex and goes through a lot of different changes in a day compared to a controlled surface.These tests allow manufactures to obtain consistent results.But,in reality,how effective are hand sanitizers in killing bacteria in everyday life?Hand sanitizer VS hand soap and water Almanza says that soap and water are the best way to clean your hands.Hand sanitizer cannot and should not be a direct replacement.However,they are a useful alternative.To effectively kill bacteria,studies recommend that people use sanitizers that are at least 60 percent alcohol.Also,sanitizers wont work if you have dirty hands,so wipe them with a tissue or napkin before sanitizing.What about antibacterial soaps?Research has shown that regular soap is just as effective as antibacterial soap in reducing bacteria-related illnesses.In fact,some consumer antibacterial soap may increase some bacterias 晨鸟教育 Earlybird resistance to antibiotics（抗生素）,making them more dangerous.Other studies show that overly clean environments will negatively affect children by preventing their immune（免疫的）system development.Children need to fight off common germs to develop their immune systems.8.What do we know about antibacterial hand sanitizers?A.Most work similarly to hand soap.B.Most use alcohol to kill the bacteria.C.Most cant remove oil on our skin.D.Most bring more bacteria to people.9.What problem does the research find about the manufacturers claim?A.Their conclusion isnt drawn from real-life environments.B.Manufacturers dont test their products before selling them.C.Their products dont kill the bacteria people usually have.D.Manufacturers dont tell the public how they get their conclusion.10.Which is the first choice to clean your hands,according to Almanza?A.Wet tissue.B.Hand sanitizer.C.Hand soap and water.D.60 percent alcohol and water.11.What does the text tell us about antibacterial soaps?A.Some contain dangerous antibiotics.B.They kill more bacteria than regular soaps.C.They might be harmful for childrens development.D.Some are proved to increase the amount of bacteria.【答案】8.B 9.A 10.C 11.C【解析】本文是说明文。文章分析了有关使用抗菌洗手液的一些问题，并提出了建议。【8 题详解】细节理解题。根据How do hand sanitizers work?部分的说明中“Most sanitizers are alcohol-based;they work by removing the outer layer of oil on our skin,then the 晨鸟教育 Earlybird alcohol kills the bacteria.”可知，大多数消毒液都含有酒精，是通过去除皮肤表面油脂，然后酒精杀死细菌。故选 B项。【9 题详解】推理判断题。根据How can manufacturers make the 99.9 percent claim（声称）?部分的说明中“In this controlled environment,hand sanitizers do kill 99.9 percent of bacteria.However,the human hand is a lot more complex and goes through a lot of different changes in a day compared to a controlled surface.（在这种受控环境下，洗手液确实能杀死 99.9%的细菌。然而，与受控表面相比，人手要复杂得多，一天之内要经历很多不同的变化。）”可以推断，制造商得出的结论是来自于受控环境，不是来自现实生活环境。故选 A项。【10 题详解】细节理解题。根据Hand sanitizer VS hand soap and water 部分的说明中“Almanza says that soap and water are the best way to clean your hands.”可知，Almanza 认为洗手的第一选择是洗手液和水。故选 C项。【11 题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Other studies show that overly clean environments will negatively affect children by preventing their immune（免疫的）system development.（研究表明，过度清洁的环境会阻止儿童预防免疫系统的发展，对儿童的成长有负面影响。）”因此可以推断，抗菌肥皂对儿童的成长可能会有害。故选 C项。D What Is Social Media?Not many people ask the question“what is social media?”anymore.Social media has been around for years now,and most of us would probably describe it as any Internet medium that can be used to share information with others,including blogs,forums,applications,games,websites and other stuff.But let me ask you this:what exactly is so“social”about sitting before a computer setting up a blog and blogging for days without anybody reading it,or scrolling through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you barely know?If you ask me,it can be way more anti-social than anything.Social media is not a“thing”.Its not just Facebook,WeChat and Weibo Its 晨鸟教育 Earlybird more of a frame of mind and a state of being.Its about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life.However,we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually tear apart those relationships.Social media isnt about numbers.When someone says“social media,”web giants like Facebook,Twitter,WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds,often because they have more updates,more friends,more followers,more links,more photos,more everything.We tend to get distracted by the number game,thinking“volume,volume,volume”.Its led to a lot of meaningless noise and information overload.As the old saying goes,quality over quantity is usually the way to go.So,social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly pushing around lots of information.Social media needs to have an“IRL”factor-an Internet slang standing for“In Real Life”.It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline.After all,social media shouldnt be an end in itself.It was built to enhance your actual social life,in real life.Take for example an event that a person attends because they are invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page.Something like that definitely has the IRL factor.Likewise,a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.So,is it really considered to be social to spend an hour scrolling through photos on Weibo,with no thoughtful or emotional effect and no interaction with others?In fact,there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists.Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing.Its all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.12.What does the underlined phrase“tear apart”in Paragraph 3 mean in the text?A.Destroy.B.Change.C.Continue.D.Strengthen.13.The writer thinks that social media should be _.A.a number of websites where people communicate 晨鸟教育 Earlybird B.a set of social tools like Facebook.WeChat and Weibo C.a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged D.a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships 14.According to the author,which of the following cases has an IRL factor?A.Updating Facebook on a regular basis.B.Following new friends in real life on Facebook.C.Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.D.Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.15.What is the authors purpose of writing this article?A.To explain the importance of social media.B.To inform the negative effects of social media.C.To call on readers to use social media to promote real social life.D.To encourage readers to interact with others in real life more often.【答案】12.A 13.D 14.C 15.C【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章作者呼吁读者利用社交媒体来促进真实的社会生活。【12 题详解】词义猜测题。上文 Its about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life.说你如何利用它来改善你与现实生活中其他人的关系。由此推断出然而，我们往往过于依赖科技和社交媒体，以至于它们实际上会破坏这些关系。tear apart的意思是破坏，A.Destro
