第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge(排放) your body’s toxins(毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hot-stone massage(按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.
1、What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?
A．Swimming in white water. B．Living in cold winter.
C．Lying on the warm beds. D．Discharging lots of sweat.
2、What can we know from the text?
A．There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.
B．Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.
C．Using water of about 45℃ to wash the body is good for the health.
D．People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.
3、What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?
A．It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.
B．It successfully cured many people of cancer.
C．It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.
D．It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.
4、Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．How to live comfortably in summer
B．A healthy and comfortable lifestyle
C．The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapy
D．The origin and development of the hot-stone therapy
22．（8分）Steve and I pulled trash for four solid hours continuously, except for about five minutes when we stopped to talk. My shoulder hurt badly each time I put another full barrel on it, and my legs occasionally trembled as I was heading for the street. But the rest of me said, “Go, trashman, go.”
I could not have imagined there would be joy in this. Dump. Lift. Walk. Lift. Walk. The hours flew by. Saturday meant many people were outdoors working in their gardens or greenhouses. Most of them looked approachable enough. There wasn’t time for lengthy talks but enough to exchange greetings that go with civilized ways. But I was shocked to find that this wasn’t the case.
When I said hello to them, most often the response was either nothing at all, or a surprising stare because I had spoken.
One woman in a housecoat was startled as I came around the corner of her house. At the sound of my greeting, she gathered her housecoat tightly about her and retreated quickly to the door. I heard the lock click.
Steve complained angrily on the long ride to the dump: “They don’t realize we’re humans.”
I had originally planned to stay at this employment for only two days but now I’m going to continue. I have decided, too, to keep saying hello in people’s yards. It doesn’t do any harm, and it still feels right. Frankly, I’m doing an essential task. I left this country a little cleaner than I found it this morning. Not many people can say that tonight.
John Gardner wrote that a society which praises its philosophers and looks down on its plumbers（管子工）is in trouble. “Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water,” he warned.

24．（8分） Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.
In 2014，Samir Lakhani，an American college student，saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder，which is so harmful to the skin，”said Lakhani.“It’s difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap.First is affordability.If you earn only$1.50 every day，you won’t spend $1 on a bar of soap.Then comes access.The demand is so low that local shops don’t stock soap.The last reason，because many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from，they don’t know how to prevent them，including using soap.”
After figuring out a solution to the problem:the barely-used soap in hotels，Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help，”he explained.
Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards.Soon，he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.
Today，the organization has four recycling centers across the country，providing jobs to 3 local women.And so far，some 174，000 bars of soap have been donated，about 24，000 pounds of soap has been recycled，and hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661，000 people.“We are killing three birds with one stone，”Lakhani said.
When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank，Lakhani said，“We’ve just scratched the surface.Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia.The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge，and much remains to be done.We’re looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”
1、Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don’t use soap?
A．Poverty. B．Inaccessibility. C．Unawareness. D．Tradition.
2、What does the underlined part“killing three birds”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Saving soap，curing diseases and providing education.
B．Stopping pollution，proving jobs and inspiring donation.
C．Reducing waste，providing employment and improving health.
D．Recycling waste，helping charity and improving community hygiene.
3、What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?
A．It won’t be long before it expands to the whole world.
B．There’s little it can do without other countries’assistance.
C．It will make greater contributions to the developing world.
D．It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.
4、What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.
B．Cambodian women have a bright future.
