Question

【题目】The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

Finding: A full 3% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day

Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes at least twice a day.

2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.

Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs?

Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

试题这是一篇调查报告，主要关注美国老年人健康习惯的问题。文章列出几种老年人需要遵守的良好健康习惯状况的调查结果，并分别提供相应的专家建议。

【1】细节理解题。由第一个问题部分Finding提到的“A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.”可知，大约三分之一的美国老年人每天仅刷一次牙。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。由第二个问题部分Finding提到的“And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend”可知，几乎百分之三十的老年人一天只洗四次手——是医生推荐量的一半，因此推断医生建议一天要洗八次手。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。由第三个问题Step部分的“Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else?”可知，厨房海绵携带病菌的数量要比厕所还要多。故选B。

【4】推理判断题。本文主要讲述美国老年人的健康习惯，是一篇健康类说明文，因此推断应该刊登在受欢迎的杂志上，而不是书评，导游小册子或者官方文件。故选A。

文章出处类题目应从文章的内容或结构入手。从文章的内容上来看，主要有说明文(主要涉及广告和旅游指南等)、议论文(主要涉及影评、书评、新闻评论、正反对比议论文等)。从文章的结构上来看，新闻报道类文章一般在第一段概括全文内容，后面陈述细节，前面都会出现日期、地点或通讯社等名称。广告的格式特殊，语言简练。产品说明会出现产品名称或操作方式等。网站文章通常会出现click，online，web，website，video等字眼，有时还会提供网址等。旅游指南类文章旨在介绍某一旅游景点的自然景观和人文特色，目的是吸引游客来访。例如小题4，从文章内容上可知，本文主要讲述美国老年人的健康习惯，是一篇健康类说明文，因此推断应该刊登在受欢迎的杂志上，而不是书评，导游小册子或者官方文件。故选A。
