1.

2.2】解析：选D。推理判断题。根据wash their hands可锁定第二个问题下的内容，根据“And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day－half of the number doctors recommend.”可知，每天洗手四次只是医生建议的一半，由此可推知，医生建议的次数是每天8次。故选D项。

3.3】解析：选C。细节理解题。文章只是建议老年人要勤洗手，因为手每天接触脸约三千次，然后接触口、鼻、眼睛，这样就会将细菌带到这些部位，显然，问题的症结是避免未洗净的手接触口、鼻、眼睛等易被细菌感染的部位，而不是脸部，故A项不正确；B项中的less than 300与第一个问题下“Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth...”有出入，故B项不正确；根据第二个问题下的“Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle.”可知，问题在于门把手上有大量细菌，会传到手上，而不是手上的细菌传到门把手上，故D项也不合适。根据最后一段中的“Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海绵)that can carry more germs than anything else？”可知C项正确。

4.4】解析：选B。推理判断题。本题要求判断文章的出处，此类试题一般结合文章的内容和格式综合考虑。本文显然不是书评(a book review)，也不是官方文件(an official document)。A项有较强的干扰性，但本文主要是面向公众的科学知识普及，而不是生活指引。故选B项。
