Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
I am an active playgoer and play-reader,and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action.A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme.It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection,for that would,indeed,ruin the pleasure of reading,discussing,and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.However,a variety of types is represented here.These include comedy,satire,poignant drama,historical and regional drama.To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play,I have included a guidance play,a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection,Paul Green,Susan Glaspell,Maxwell Anderson,Thornton Wilder,William Saroyan,and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater.More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays,try to picture the play on stage,with you,the reader,in the audience.The houselights dim(变暗).The curtains are about to open,and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.

One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands.Twenty seconds of hand washing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives.But,many people,especially children,do not have good hand washing habits.One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough.Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.
To help handle this problem,two businesswomen from India created a product to turn hand-washing into a fun activity.Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen,aimed at teaching kids good hand-washing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly.
“It's such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people aren't doing it,and it's resulting in actual deaths—which is shocking.So,we decided to come up with a fun method,”said Issar.
As the name suggests,SoaPen is a pen made out of soap.The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off.If they don't spend enough time washing it off,the colors remain on the children's hands.Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands.This may be especially helpful in a classroom.Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.
Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they're drawing on their hands.To obliterate the drawing,they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and,you know,a one-second wash and off.
Good news is that the school children in Mumbai,India,will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pet.Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了SoaPen。SoaPen是一款画笔样式的液态洗手产品,孩子们可用它在手上涂抹然后洗手,如果他们没有花足够的时间洗手,颜色会留在他们的手上,这会让洗手充满乐趣。
5.Why does SoaPen come into existence?
A.To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.
B.To teach kids the importance of soap.
C.To help kids wash their hands correctly.
D.To make money from children consumers.
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句可知,问题是孩子们洗手的频率或洗手的时间不够长;再联系第二段可知,发明SoaPen的目的在于让孩子们养成良好的洗手习惯,故选C。
6.What does “obliterate”underlined in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Show. B.Reserve.
C.Learn. D.Remove.
【解析】 D 词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句可知,孩子们需要花足够的时间去洗手才能洗掉SoaPen的图案,由画线词后的内容可知,为了消除SoaPen留在手上的痕迹,孩子们不再只是匆匆洗手了。由此可知,画线词与remove意思相近,故选D。
7.Which of the following does Issar agree with?
A.Handwashing is anything but little.
B.SoaPen is designed for classrooms.
C.Some teachers ignore kids' health in school.
D.Kids don't know the right way of handwashing.
【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据第三段Issar说的话可知,有些人因为没有养成良好的洗手习惯而死亡,由此可知,养成洗手的习惯对我们的健康是至关重要的。anything but little至关重要的。故选A。
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.SoaPen has become popular worldwide.
B.The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.
C.SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.
D.Kids' health should be paid more attention to.
