Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of 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 out disease, 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 of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, 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 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.
1. The kings of France and England in 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 believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid.
B. Curious.
C. Approving.
D. Uninterested.
3. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.

【江苏省苏锡常镇四市2014模拟调研】 A
Many of you should not own dogs. It’s that simple. The reason is that, if you own a dog,
you must train a dog, and many dog owners out there, it is safe to say, have little or no control
over their dogs, because they do not train them.
Strong words? Maybe．But they are simple, honest words, as untrained dogs living in
residential neighborhoods bark at will, run loose, and visit and damage neighboring properties
with their owners’blessings as they deliberately let them run.
Take note of the fact that you, the dog owner, cannot control your dog causing a continual nuisance（麻烦事）that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood. There’s nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient（有缺陷的）mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so.
After all, the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too, and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking, are they deaf? Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained, an indication that the owners themselves lack self discipline, and most likely have never really tried to apply discipline to other issues in their lives, not with consistency, or that they are simply lazy and inattentive to their own adult responsibilities at the expense of others.
Irresponsible dog owners, though, do train their dogs. A dog is a reflection of
its owner.
Whatever a dog does (run loose, bark at will, jump on guests entering the front door, soil
neighboring lawns) is a result of the decisions of the owner. The choice not to do something is
indeed a choice.
The good news is that with mere consistency, a dog can be trained rather quickly, in a
couple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibility seriously. Again, that process will be a
reflection of the owner's behavior, and the primary ingredient（要素）in that behavior is not
allowing the dog, not even once, to repeat the bad behavior without consequences when told and directed not to. You can stop your dog from barking with simple firm voice commands, direct eye contact, and force of will in a relatively short time, provided you are consistent and a reasonably mature person.
Dogs, what，s more, love this training because pleasing you, their owner, is what they arc all about. The upshot（结果，要点）will be that you have a more connected relationship with your dog, a better dog that is suited to its environment.
56. Which is NOT the reason for dog owners to have little or no control over their dogs?
A. They are lazy and unwilling to train their dogs.
B. They think their dogs can act well without training.
C，They lack self-control over many issues in daily life.
D. They don't give enough attention to their responsibilities.
57. What's the author's attitude towards owners of untrained dogs?
A. Prejudiced.
B. Unclear.
C. Disapproving.
D. Curious.
58. This article is mainly written to＿．
A. instruct dog owners how to train dogs
B ．call on dog owners to train their dogs
C. sing high praise for responsible dog owners
D. analyze the relationship between dog owners and their dogs
59. It can be concluded from the passage that＿．
A. responsible dog owners can put up with dogs’barking
B ．irresponsible dog owners deliberately train their dogs to do something wrong
C. we should not own dogs because they can damage the quality of our daily life
D ．whether a dog can be trained properly may depend on the dog owner's behavior 【参考答案】56--59 BCBD
阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

For my grandmother's 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.
I was surprised by how different Korea's public high schools are from America's. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”，“go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung –hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.
In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you don't have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.
Another difference I couldn't help but notice was the students' appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌)with the student's name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girl's skirts can't be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.
The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in
a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although it's only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.
Korea's public high schools are clearly different from America's. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.
59. How many main differences are mentioned between Korea's public high school and America’s?
A. 3.
B. 4.
C. 5.
D. 6.
60. It seems that the writer _______ .
A. is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea
B. is fond of Korean students' appearance
C. prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea
D. feels it common to have lessons on weekends
61. What does the underlined word "setup" in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Arrangement.
B. Size.
C. Number.
D. Outline.
62. According to the rules, the students of Korea can _______ .
A. go to different high schools without exams
B. wear any clothes except uniforms at school
C. attend different classes as they like
D. have different hair styles
