Ⅳ. 阅读理解
They are pretty essential, but you may want to drop your mobile phone forever after reading this. The average handset carries 18 times more potentially harmful germs than a toilet handle in a men’s toilet, tests have revealed.
An analysis of handsets found almost a quarter were so dirty that they had up to ten times an acceptable level of TVC (Total Viable Count) bacteria. One of the phones in the test had such high levels of bacteria that it could have given its owner a serious stomach upset. While TVC is not immediately harmful, raised levels indicate poor personal hygiene (卫生) and act as home for other germs.
The findings from a sample of 30 phones by which magazine suggest 14. 7 million of the 63 million mobiles in use in the UK today could have potential health risks. Hygiene expert Jim Francis, who carried out the tests, said, “The levels of potentially harmful bacteria on one mobile were off the range. That phone needs cleaning. ”
The most unhygienic phone had more than ten times the acceptable level of TVC and seven were above the limit. This worst handset also had 39 times the safe level of enterobacteria(肠道菌), a group of bacteria that live in the lower intestines (肠) of humans and animals. It had 170 times the acceptable level of faecal coliforms (大肠杆菌)，which are associated with human waste. Other bacteria were found on the phones but at safe levels.
The germs can end up on your hands, which are passed back to your phone. They can be passed back and forth and eventually you could catch something grubby. People need to be mindful of that by observing good hygiene themselves and among others who they pass the phone to when looking at photos, for example.
1. According to Paragraph 2, bacteria on mobile phones _______.
A. are easy to get rid of
B. can’t be avoided
C. may cause potential risks
D. just do harm to users’ stomachs
2. Which of the following statements does Jim Francis agree with?
A. It is necessary for people to clean mobile phones in time.
B. People should use mobile phones as little as possible.
C. People have realized the harm of bacteria on mobile phones.
D. All bacteria on mobile phones are harmful to people.
3. The underlined word “grubby” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_____”．
A. seriousB. dirty
C. acceptable
D. harmful
4. The author wrote this passage to______ .
A. warn people to do their best to keep healthy
B. explain why there are so many bacteria on mobile phones
C. tell people about potential harm of mobile phones
D. remind people to focus on good hygiene when using mobile phones
Ⅴ. 任务型读写
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

Being on bad terms with your neighbors can make your life frustrating day after day. But taking the time to establish a good relationship with your neighbors has a good many benefits. The community will be friendlier, the neighborhood safer, and the area a nicer place to live in. There are some suggestions to develop a good relationship with your neighbors.
Whether you’re new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.
Sometimes, you can remedy (补救) problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it’s getting too loud, they shouldn’t hesitate to let you know.
Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent (相邻的) living spaces, and try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls.
Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮带) if it has a habit of running rampantly on your neighbors’ lawns, especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own, and ensure to clean up after it.
When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone’s access, or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot. Don’t slam (砰地关上) your car doors late at night.Weed your garden in a regular way, because the presence of weeds in your yard is not only unsightly but can also spread to your neighbor’s yard.
Really good neighbors watch out for each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that impact the larger neighborhood and look for opportunities to communicate. Great neighbors make for great neighborhoods.

这本书很有趣，人人都想看看。
I was so busy here (that) I had no time to write a letter.
我在这里很忙，没时间写信。2. so that引导目的状语从句，其从句中的谓语动词通常和can, may, should等情态动词连用，而且主句和从句之间不使用逗号，意为“以便，为了，使能够”。
如：They got up early so that they could catch the early bus.

Say slowly so that I can understand you.
说慢点，好让我听明白。
3. so that句型也可以用来引导结果状语从句，意为“因此，结果”，这时其从句中的谓语动词不与情态动词连用。这种结构和so. . . that. . . 引导的结果在含义上有很大的区别。
so that句型所表示的结果往往同主句有因果关系，而so. . . that. . . 句型所表示的结果往往表明so后面形容词或副词的程度。请比较：
He didn’t plan his time well, so that he didn’t finish his work on time.
他没有把时间计划好，结果没有按时完成这项工作。
(没按时完成这项工作的原因是没计划好时间）
