答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文。洗手对于预防传染病的传播很重要。尽管人体对有害细菌具有一定的防御能力,但是我们也要养成洗手的好习惯。
1.D 细节句。根据上文可知,D项Theyaremoreself-awarethathandwashingshouldbepracticedasneeded.(他们比别人更加意识到应该根据需要洗手。)能够承接上文。故选D项。
2.F 细节句。根据上下文可知,F项Theyfoundthatthesubjectstouchedtheirface15.7timesperhouronaverage.(他们发现实验对象平均每小时触摸脸部15.7次。)符合语境。故选F项。
3.B 细节句。根据上下文可知,B项Severalminuteslater,Iturnedoffthealarmclock.(几分钟后,我关闭了闹钟。)能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。该选项中的thealarmclock在前一句中出现了。故选B项。
4.A 细节句。根据空前Luckily,thehumanbodyhasamazingdefenseagainstharmfulgerms.(幸运的是,人体对有害细菌具有惊人的防御能力。)和空后Ourwhitebloodcellsarelikesoldierscomingtotherescue.(我们的白细胞就像士兵一样来营救我们。)可知,A项Ourskinisthefirstlineofdefense.(我们的皮肤是第一道防线。)能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。故选A项。
5.E 主题句。根据空后Ifyouhavechildren,itisevenmoreimportanttosettheexamplebecausechildrenareknowntolearnfromadults.(如果你有孩子,树立榜样就更重要了,因为众所周知,孩子向成年人学习。)可知,E项Mostimportantly,itisourdutytosettherightexampleforfriendsandfamily.(最重要的是,为朋友和家人树立正确的榜样是我们的责任。)是本段的主题句。该选项中的set和example在下一句中出现了。故选E项。
