【題目】 Are you afraid of going to the dentist(牙醫(yī))? If so, you're not alone.

These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries(牙科手術(shù)). In fact. among the 451 interviewed patients，75％ reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.

Could it be the sound of the drill(鉆頭)then?

“I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don’t have any pain. " Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.

To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.

What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing(聽(tīng)覺(jué)處理)， which means， for these people， the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds

In the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated(激活)was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.

Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists ' drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.

【1】How does the writer explain that the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries?

A. By showing facts with numbers.B. By asking questions one by one.

C. By giving examples group by group. D. By comparing results of patients.

【2】According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word "evoke” mean in Chinese?

A. 減輕B. 引起C. 顯示D. 阻止

【3】How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study?

A. It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear group

B. For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memory

C. For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.

D. It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. How the study might be useful.

B. Some new ways to treat teeth

C. The proper way to treat dental patients.

D. The importance of keeping our teeth healthy.

【5】What's the purpose of the passage?

A. To show us different areas of fear in brains.

B. To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.

C. To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.

D. To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.

【題目】 When I was young, I lived in Scotland with my parents. I had a good time there.

One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries. ”

“No, no, Missey, not today. ” he said , “It will rain. ”

“No, it will not rain. ” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain. ”

“Tuts, tuts. ” said the old man, “I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海綠) says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.”

Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.

If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven o’clock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”.

Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.

But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.

Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.

On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers-as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.

【1】The plants which are “weather prophets” .

A. become smaller in a strong lightB. tell about the weather

C. open for rain and fear lightD. love shade and wet

【2】You can go out for a picnic when .

A. the morning glories and lilies do not shut

B. the African marigolds shut after 7:00 a. m.

C. die pimpernels open wide in the daytime

D. the roses and tulips shut in the sunshine

【3】What do we know from the passage?

A. The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather.

B. The glass in the hall has magic for the writer’s family to know about weather.

C. We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden.

D. Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on.

【4】The passage is mainly about .

A. watching flowers carefully before going out

B. learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman

C. the importance of growing flowers in the garden

D. the relationship between some flowers and weather

【題目】 Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy？Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth？Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win（雙贏）situation.

Plogging，a new way to exercise，began in Sweden（瑞典）. The name “plogging” comes from two words-the Swedish（瑞典的）word "plocka”，which means" to pick up（撿起）”，and the word “jogging”，which means" “to run slowly”. A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead，he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.

To his joy，more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way，it is quite different. After all，many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories（卡路里）. According to a research，plogging for 10minutes burns 48 calories，while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up！It's time for us to take action together. So ready？Let's plog tomorrow！

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

【1】The underlined（劃線的）word "scatter" in the passage means" ___________"in Chinese.

C. he didn't care and did nothing about it
