7.Although some people don't like using automatic hand dryers in restrooms,it may actually be argued that motion-sensing hand dryers are a practical alternative to paper towels.More and more businesses are using automatic hand dryers in their restrooms today.I believe that our school would benefit from investing in automatic hand dryers in all the restrooms.
First of all,the automatic hand dryer is very sanitary(衛(wèi)生的).Instead of pulling on a lever (手柄) that has been touched by a large number of students,users can just stick their hands under the air dryer.No germs can get on them because there is nothing to touch.Kids wouldn't get sick from the paper towel dispensers (紙巾盒) we now use at our school.This would keep kids'hands germ-free.
In addition,if the school buys automatic hand dryers,we can save money that can be spent on more important things.I have noticed that there is a terrible waste of paper towels in the restrooms.Students continuously pull on the lever,dispensing towels that they do not really need.It is annoying to find the dispenser empty.An automatic hand dryer costs about﹩500,with very little additional cost over time.On the other hand,paper towels can cost﹩25a case,or about﹩500a year,since we use about 20cases each year.After just one year,it would pay for itself.If we installed(安裝) automatic hand dryers,we would not waste paper towels,and it would save the school a ton of money.
Finally,our bathroom is a paper towel mess!There are always piles of paper towels on the floor.Sometimes the extras fall from the dispenser unused.Many times kids make their used towel into a ball and aim for a basket.But if they miss the target,the paper ball stays on the floor.Paper towels leave so much litter in the restrooms that the restrooms are a mess--even before the end of the day!
Some people think that automatic hand dryers don't dry their hands as thoroughly as paper towels.People stand in front of the hand dryers for just a few seconds,and they are disappointed that their hands do not feel dry.However,studies have shown that when people dry their hands for at least 30seconds,automatic dryers actually dry much better than paper towels.It is difficult to get every part of your hand dry using paper towels.The air makes sure that your hands are completely dry…if you take a few extra seconds.
Keeping kids healthy,saving money,and helping our school stay clean are strong reasons for installing automatic hand dryers.Every day that goes by without having them means that we are continuing to have problems in our restrooms because we are using paper towels.Let's install automatic hand dryers as soon as possible!

分析 要介紹了干手機(jī)器在學(xué)校里比紙巾所具有的優(yōu)點,目的是勸說學(xué)校安裝干手機(jī)器.
解答 B C A D C
31.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段最后一句話This would keep kids'hands germ-free.得知,這種自動烘干機(jī)讓孩子的手遠(yuǎn)離細(xì)菌,故選B.
32.C 主旨大意題.根據(jù)該段第一句if the school buys automatic hand dryers,we can save money that can be spent on more important things以及it would save the school a ton of money得知,自動干手機(jī)器可以為學(xué)校節(jié)省很多錢,所以推出要比紙盒更好,故選C.
33.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.在文章Paper towels leave so much litter in the restrooms that the restrooms are a mess--even before the end of the day!這句告訴我們紙巾讓衛(wèi)生間產(chǎn)生如此都的垃圾,以至于一片混亂,所以作者認(rèn)為紙巾是造成臟亂的主要原因.
34.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)when people dry their hands for at least 30seconds當(dāng)人們在干手機(jī)器下至少得30秒,事實上很多人都沒有達(dá)到,所以認(rèn)為手不是完全干了.
35.C 主旨大意題.通過全文的內(nèi)容可知,主要介紹了干手機(jī)器在學(xué)校里比紙巾所具有的優(yōu)點,目的是勸說學(xué)校安裝干手機(jī)器.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
