3．If you walk into W．Lloyd Jerome's dental surgery（手术） in Glasgow，you'll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth．Jerome says，‘That's because they're frightened．'
（71）B‘That's why I don't wear a white coat．I find that's one of the things that people associate with pain．In fact，my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation，interest and，above all，enjoyment．'
     Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain，or at the very least，formal，chinical visits．He says，‘If people are relaxed，entertained and correctly treated，they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences．'
       Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques，‘（72）DThe headsets are used for the first check-up，where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth．"Then the headset switches to a special camera，to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth．'
       Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist's．Today there is the smell of orange．"When people walk in，I want them to realize with all their senses that it's not like going to dentist's．Smell is very important（73）F．
       Known as Clasgow's most fashionable dentist，Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously‘（74）C'．For example，Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them，rather than scraping them．‘It feels a bit strange，but as long as people are relaxed，it's not painful．'（75）A‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient，you make it easier for yourself'He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession．
      At that moment，a patient arrives．Jerome rushes over，offers him a cup of tea，askes him what video he'd like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair．
        
A．Five years ago，Jerome went to the United States to do research．
B．He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid．
C．The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing．
D．We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them．
E．Now they look forward to their visits here．
F．That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists．
G．Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they're in pain．

分析 本文属于记叙文的阅读短文．主要介绍了英国著名的牙医W．Lloyd Jerome努力给患者创造一个轻松的环境--让患者坐在蓝色的沙发上，观看鲜艳的画以及海底电影等，来减轻他们的疼痛，备受欢迎和名声大振．

解答 71-75 BDFCA
71．B．考查上下文的理解能力．上一段提到That's because they're frightened，以及划线后面说That's why I don't wear a white coat，那么W．Lloyd Jerome努力做到的就是尽量创造一个病人并不那么害怕的环境；故选B．
72．D．考查上下文的理解能力．前面提到Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques，虚拟现实的耳机是他的新的放松科技的新应用，自然是在英国最先引进这一疗法的；故选D．
73．F．考查上下文的理解能力．前面提到Smell is very important气味对于牙科病人诊疗的作用，所以F项That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists与此相吻合；故选F．
74．C．考查上下文的理解能力．Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously说明就医环境重要，同样医生的精湛医术更重要；故选C．
75．A．考查上下文的理解能力．由后面的内容One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient，you make it easier for yourself可知，这是举例说明他的这种奇特的治疗方法；故选A．

点评 对于选句填空这种题型要搞明白上下文之间的逻辑关系，要根据对话者所说的语气及语义关系来做出判断；只要符合文章的结构、通顺合理即可．

13．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime，it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

65．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？B
A．Those who often take exercise．
B．Those who often watch television．
C．Those who often have meals at home．
D．Those who often walk to school．
66．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
67．The word"steer"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB．
A．force         B．guide          C．expect          D．observe
68．The main purpose of the text is toC．
A．tell a story      B．provide facts
C．give advice       D．compare opinions．
14．The American tradition of Thanksgiving dates back to colonial times，to the Pilgrims（清教徒） of Plymouth rock Colony．To escape religious persecution（迫害） in England，the Pilgrims journeyed to the New World on their ship，the Mayflower．After a long journey，they finally arrived at Plymouth Rock in autumn of 1620．They could not finish building the settlement before winter，so many froze to death．They ate most of their food on the journey over，so many also starved．However，the Pilgrims met a Native American named Tisquantum，or Squanto as he was better known，who taught them how to plant corn and catch eel（鳗鱼）．By the same time next year，the Pilgrims had built a steady settlement，and had a bountiful harvest．To thank the Native Americans for their help and to celebrate the harvest，the Pilgrims held a grand banquet（盛宴）．Together，they feasted on corn，yams，fish，and most importantly：roast turkey，which became the highlight of the modern Thanksgiving feast．
Schools always make a big deal about Thanksgiving，because they feel that it teaches children how to be thankful and to treat others with kindness．I spent the many years of elementary school making paper turkeys，fake cornucopias（a shell filled with food，a symbol of the holiday），and writing lists of what I'm thankful for．When I grew older，I watched movies and read books about the First Thanksgiving，and completed crossword puzzles and word searches filled with holiday themed words．While the idea for Thanksgiving is great，and it is a wonderful opportunity to instill certain values in children，I don't think we should name a special holiday for being thankful．We should be thankful for what we have every day，not just Thanksgiving．
56．What's the main reason for the English Pilgrims to leave their home country？B
A．Political ideas．B．Religious beliefs．C．Hard life．D．Hopes for fortune．
57．What threatened the Pilgrims most when they first arrived the new world？A
A．Cold and starvation．B．Wild animals．C．Local people．D．Sickness．
58．Why did the Pilgrims hold a banquet one year after their arrival in the new world？C
A．To memorize their family members left in England．
B．To celebrate their survival from religious persecution．
C．To thank the Native Americans for their help．
D．To celebrate the new state they've set up．
59．For Thanksgiving，all the activities are normally done EXCEPTD．
A．enjoying a big meal                        B．making paper turkeys
C．doing crossword puzzles                    D．sing Christmas songs
60．The passage was written to show the writer's attitude of beingD．
A．knowledgeable      B．responsible          C．energetic            D．thankful．
11．Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（报复）of the Nerds．They get high grades，all right，but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．
How，then，do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres？
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group，serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A's in every subject．Melendres，a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well，exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight A's in his regular classes，plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses．
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it？Brains aren't the only answer．"Top grades don't always go to the brightest students，"declares Herbert Walberg，a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago，who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．"Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的）abilities counts for more．Much more．"
In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．
Hard work isn't the whole story，either．"It's not how long you sit there with the books open，"said one of the many-A students we interviewed．"It's what you do while you're sitting．"Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．
73．What can we conclude from the first paragraph？B
A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students．
B．People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students．
C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films．
D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society．
74．Some students become super-achievers mainly becauseC．
A．they are born cleverer than others
B．they work longer hours at study
C．they make full use of their abilities
D．they know the shortcut to success
75．What will be talked about after the last paragraph？C
A．The interviews with more students．
B．The role IQ plays in learning well．
C．The techniques to be better learners．
D．The achievements top students make．
18．（71）C This recreation promotes physical，mental and community health，and also wins points for what it doesn't offer．Here's everything you need to know before hitting the trail or sidewalk．
Bring water，a snack，and good comfortable shoes．A lot of pepole have unrealistic understanding of what comfortable shoes mean； actually hiking boots are very necessary．（72）D Experienced hikers recommend tailoring your route to fit an interest，like architecture，food or a view．
（73）F In modern urban city，you've kept away from trees and maybe birds most of the time．Although cool buildings，coffee shops and paths leading into handsome parks are your daily choices for trips，digging into a park can let your ears and eyes escape the urban environment．
Consider inviting company on your urban hike，starting with family． （74）AIt's so important that people understand this is not a foreign activity．
Organized hikes and walking clubs provide motivation and an opportunity to learn new routes and meet people．To help people find fellow walkers and nearby routes，the Website of the American Hiking Society offers searchable databases of clubs and trails．（75）BJust explore．That's what I've always done．

A．Children who walk outdoors are more likely to perform well at school．
B．But keep in mind that an urban hike is about the journey，not the planning
C．Urban hikes provide unexpected excitements
D．Once equipped，figure out where to go
E．Listen to music，watch TV or meet your friend at the cinema
F．Choose nature for the destination
G．Guides keep you informed of evens and activities．
