CMark Twain (1835-1910) was one of the greatest American authors. He published his most famous works in the later decades of the 19th century, when the US was still building a literary (文学的) tradition for itself. Twain created a kind of writing that was named “local color literature”, which means that the writing contains many descriptions to the culture of the storys location. His works are filled with references to the southern states of the US, particularly the lives of the people along the Mississippi River. You can feel it in his descriptions of places and the way he makes his characters speak. This is clear in his most famous work, the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This story is the self-told tale of a boy who lives with a kind old woman. She wants Finn to grow up properly and takes good care of him. But Finn doesnt like to follow rules. He lives the way he wants to, not the way other people want him to. During his adventures, Finn runs away from home to get away from school and his awful father. Along the way, he meets a runaway slave named Jim. They create the most famous childhood friendship in American literature. Even though its his most famous work, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is just one of Twains achievements in literature. He is also known for his wit (机智) and has been quoted (引用) many times. As with words by other 19th century authors like Irish poet Oscar Wilde, many will have read words written by Twain, even if they dont know his name.One of his famous quotes came from a letter Twain sent to a newspaper, after it published that hed died. He wrote “Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated (夸张).” 26. According to the article, what is the main characteristic of Mark Twains works? A. They are mostly about childrens adventures. B.

DMost of us are used to using the jet hand dryers (喷射式干手器) in public restrooms. Theyre surely very convenient all we need to do is to hold up our hands for a few seconds until theyre dry. And more importantly, theyre supposed to be hygienic. However, a new study published in the journal Hospital Infection found that jet hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria (细菌) than paper towels. In the study, two restrooms in each of three different hospitals in the UK, France and Italy were required to provide both jet hand dryers and paper towels for people to use. But on certain days, only either the hand dryer or the paper towel dispenser (自动出纸机) was available to use.The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount of bacteria in the restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days. According to the study leader Mark Wilcox, an expert in medical microbiology at Leeds University, UK, hand dryers spread harmful bacteria all over the room. This means that if people use these dryers, theyre more likely to pick up bacteria.At the same time, however, this raises the question of why these bacteria exist in the first place if people are washing their hands after using the restroom. “The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly,” Wilcox said. In other words, poor hand-washing leads to a large amount of bacteria being left on your hands. 31. What does the underlined word “hygienic” mean in Paragraph 1? A. 方便的B. 无菌的C. 卫生的 32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why scientists studied hand dryers. B. How scientists prepared for their study. C. How scientists carried out the experiment. 33. It was found that the restrooms had more bacteria when _. A. only the hand dryer was available to use B. only paper towels were available to use C. both the hand dryer and the paper towel dispenser were available to use 34. According to the last paragraph, how can we stop bacteria? A. By washing our hands properly. B. By not using the hand dryer. C. By using paper towels. 35. What do we know from the passage? A. Scientists will find a way to improve hand dryers. B. Good habits can protect you from danger. C. Its common to pick up bacteria in public places.第二节 语篇补全 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（共5小题，计10分）In 2020, the 109,000 residential (住宅的) fires in China caused more than 500 injuries and 900 deaths.
