1、第一节  语篇翻译  阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap1. This leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is ‘the most beautiful invention in public health’. 2. 用肥皂洗手对你的健康有好处。

However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is because there aren’t enough resources(资源) in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is not part of their everyday life.3. It’s not easy for people to change habits they learned in early childhood. But this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote(促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries. 4. 现在在非洲越来越多的人用肥皂洗手。

Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the importance of cleaning hands. 5. They hope that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives. And it is believed that handwashing can improve the health of millions of people around the world.

21、This is a tale of two friends—one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!

Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither (两个都不) could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented (租用) some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee (费用).

Haixia and Wenqi never imagined (想象) that they would end up creating an environmental paradise (天堂). Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. Moreover, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

When the friends work together, they focus on (集中) their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a. m. when the sightless (无视力的) Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches (分支) from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects (选择) the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.

Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”

Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!

【1】Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

A．Haixia needed someone to help him.

B．They both needed a way to make money.

C．They wanted to improve the environment.

D．They were asked to do so by local officials.

【2】Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by ________.

A．stopping floods in the rainy season

B．rising in the number of tourists

C．making the villagers richer

D．providing more farmland

【3】Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?

A．They are easy to get.

B．They do not cost money.

C．They can grow very quickly.

D．They are preferred by animals.

【4】In Paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “_________”.

A．they hope to make the forest even better

B．the fruits from their trees are very sweet

C．they are proud not to depend on others

D．they are able to do any difficult work

【5】What can we learn from this story?

A．Never give up and you will succeed.

B．We should help the disabled to work.

C．Try your best when facing difficulties.

D．We can achieve more with teamwork.

22、

It’s not true that only women wear skirts. Men can wear them, too.

In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition.

A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees. It has checks（方格）on it with different colors, like red and blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.

How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.

Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into shorter skirts.

Today, most Scotsmen look the kilt as a formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.

Scots also wear kilts in parades（游行队伍）when they play their traditional musical instrument bagpipes. The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer use them when fighting.

【1】Which of the following is a kilt?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】In Scotland,different families have different ________ for their kilts.

A．colors

B．checks

C．sizes

D．shapes

【3】When do Scotsmen wear kilts?

A．At weddings.

B．At big dinners.

C．In parades.

D．All of the above.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The kilt was first made in the 1720s.

B．The kilt was invented because it could make the workers work fast.

C．The kilt is Scotland’s national dress.

D．The kilt is not the battle（作战）dress uniform of Scotland’s army.

【5】The story mainly tells us ________.

A．things about Scotsmen’s traditional kilts

B．how to wear kilts

C．when to wear kilts

D．Scotsmen’s important tradition

23、   “You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queens horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.

Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.

“Only one gift can be yours,”   the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said, “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

“And why did you choose the chicken? ”the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens, The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”

Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”

“ You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn’t worry about their food any more -all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

24、   One day,a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said,“Look！There's a horseshoe（马蹄铁）. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said,“It isn't worth（值得）the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town,they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the money he bought some grapes.

It was very hot,and there wasn't a house or a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time,his father dropped a grape on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while,his father dropped another grape and once again,his son picked it up and put it in his mouth.

And then they went on. The old farmer dropped the grapes and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the grapes,his father said to him,“My dear son,if you had bent down（俯身）early to pick up that horseshoe,it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the grapes,always remember the lesson.
