Question

【題目】When you feel a sneeze（噴嚏）or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(細(xì)菌). You probably knew that.

But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(紙巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.

“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.

Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons（電梯按鈕） and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

This isn’t nagging（嘮叨）. The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue.”

“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn’t pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.

To be clear, people can’t keep away from all the risks in this way, but it’s the best choice. At the same time, we’d better wear masks（口罩） and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.

這是一篇有關(guān)健康方面的文章。告訴我們打噴嚏或咳嗽時(shí)最好不要用手捂住嘴，因?yàn)榧?xì)菌會(huì)落到手上，它們會(huì)從手中傳遞到紙幣、門(mén)把手、電梯按鈕等其他物體的表面而傳播給他人。只有及時(shí)洗手才能洗掉細(xì)菌，防止細(xì)菌傳播。戴口罩也是有效防止細(xì)菌傳播的好方法。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand. If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.”可知，打噴嚏或咳嗽時(shí)，最好不要用手捂住嘴，如果打噴嚏到手上，這些病菌就會(huì)傳染給其他人或其他人接觸的物體。故答案選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的句子“Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons（電梯按鈕） and other surfaces.”可知，打噴嚏和咳嗽時(shí)用手捂嘴，細(xì)菌會(huì)落到手上，它們會(huì)從手中傳遞到紙幣、門(mén)把手、電梯按鈕和其他的表面。因此電梯按鈕、握手和門(mén)把手都是細(xì)菌的傳播途徑，只有及時(shí)洗手才能洗掉細(xì)菌，防止細(xì)菌傳播，答案為D。

【3】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue.”就連紐約地鐵官員也要求乘客“咳嗽或打噴嚏到肘部或使用紙巾。A正確；根據(jù)If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.可知，以前人們打噴嚏或咳嗽時(shí)，習(xí)慣用手捂住嘴，B答案錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.可知，孩子們經(jīng)常在學(xué)校里被教授一些咳嗽或打噴嚏的正確方法。C答案正確；根據(jù)At the same time, we’d better wear masks（口罩）and often wash our hands.可知，戴口罩也是遠(yuǎn)離細(xì)菌的好方法。D答案也是正確的。不正確的只有B。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文開(kāi)頭的句子When you feel a sneeze（噴嚏）or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(細(xì)菌).可知，本文主要通過(guò)打噴嚏和咳嗽時(shí)應(yīng)該如何做來(lái)告訴我們?nèi)绾畏乐辜?xì)菌的傳播這一目的。故答案選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后的句子“Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.”可知，短文主要介紹了如何有效防止細(xì)菌的傳播，最大限度地保持身體健康。是有關(guān)健康方面的文章，故答案選A。
