第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
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.
C．A US young man calls for helping poor countries.
D．Lack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.

B
As a volunteer, Charlie Starbuck has helped to plant tress on the streets of San Francisco. He has them in just about every part of this city. Walk a block or two in virtually any neighborhood, and you will find Mr. Starbuck’s fingerprints are there. Whatever tree species you might see there, chances are excellent that Starbuck helped plant it with his own hands.
Starbuck has volunteered with a citywide tree-planting program since 1981; that’s over thirty years of weekly plantings without pay. “For Charlie to be that consistent,” says Doug Wildman, program director of San Francisco’s Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF). “Well, he is our rock.”
Despite all its charm, San Francisco is not particularly green. Sandy soil, salty air, lots of wind and narrow streets are common explanations for its low tree count. For more than three decades, Starbuck has been on a mission to change that. He acts as a guide and teacher to home-owners and volunteers and teaches them how to plant trees. He loves to talk about trees. “My current favorite is the strawberry tree,” he says. Tree experts here are constantly on the look out for species that can handle the local climate. The strawberry tree, with its mock red fruit that hangs in clusters, is in high demand.
Care is relatively simple. Most of San Francisco has sandy soil, so it is almost impossible to overwater the trees, Starbuck says. Just before a young tree goes in the ground, Starbuck uses a box cutter to make vertical slices down each side of the root ball so the roots don’t continue to grow in a circular way, as they do in their containers.
He is also particular about staking(用柱子支撑)the tree. Three poles are driven in, and then soft cloth straps are attached to each pole so that the tree can wave a bit. The ability to wave actually strengthens the trunk.
While the city may still be short on trees, nearly 1,000 new trees took root here last year thanks to FUF. It receives nearly half of its funds from the federal government and most of the rest from state and local governments, individuals, corporations and foundations. On a walk through his own neighborhood, Pacific Heights, Starbuck has a tree story for almost every block. His destination now is a corner of Nob Hill. “All you used to see here were concrete and parked cars,” Starbuck explains. “But now,” he says with pride, “you can see some green.”
Starbuck was part of a team that planted magnolias(木兰)recently there. “it’s the before and after,” Starbuck says. “That’s what it’s about for me.”
1、What does Doug Wildman think of Starbuck?
A．He is the founder of FUF
B．He is dependable volunteer of FUF
C．He is hard to get along with
D．He has set an example to others
2、Why is probably Starbuck involved in this voluntary work?
A．Because he wants to plant more trees
B．Because he hopes to impress the importance of planting trees on people
C．Because he hopes to change the situation San Francisco faces
D．Because he wants to get more support from the government
3、What does the last paragraph imply about Starbuck?
A．He can predict what the future is like
B．He can sum up what happened in the past
C．He considers it his duty to bring changes
D．He understands the past and future
4、What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To explain the roles of trees in big cities
B．To call on people to plant more trees in cities
C．To describe the bad situation of San Francisco
D．To introduce a man’s effort to plant trees
