because food attracts germs(细菌); germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums. flossing (使用牙线) helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. this explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can also be good for your heart. it may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart. doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. one idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood. germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against there germs. for some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart overtime. not every doctor agrees about these ideas. some doctors think that the link between good flossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. the incidence (发生率) of two or more events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. for example, every time i wash my car, it rains. this does not mean that when i wash my car, i somehow change the weather. this is only a coincidence. similarly, some doctors think that people who have bad flossing habits just happen to also have heart problems, and people who have good flossing habits just happen to have healthy hearts. the theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. but every doctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. so even if flossing does not help your heart, it is true to help your teeth. this is enough of a reason for everyone to floss their teeth every day. 5. from the passage, we know that _. a. food stuck between your teeth may hurt your teethb. all of the doctors agree that flossing is good for your heartc. doctors judgment about flossing is based on medical researchd. not every doctor thinks flossing helps to keep your teeth healthy6. the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 is to _. a. provide an example b. make a comparisonc. introduce a new topic d. develop the previous statement7. which of the following best states the main idea of the last paragraph? a. it is a fact that flossing can help your heart as well as your teeth.b. there is no good reason to believe that flossing will help your heart.c. because doctors find flossing wont help your heart, it is useless to floss.d. even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you should still do it every day.8. which is the best title for the passage? a. flossing by coincidence b. how to keep your teeth healthyc. flossing habits and healthy heartsd. why doctors disagree about flossingcuniversity graduates mallorie brodie and lauren hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail.bridgit, which they founded in 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. the smartphone application lets site supervisors（监管人员） take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution. more than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called closeout, officially launched.feedback(反馈)was so good that they began to wonder: why limit their invention to a specific industry? why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? this became their dilemma. in other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app? the experts surveyed all agreed bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. ms. hasegawa and ms. brodie took that advice.as more business customers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. since then, the companys growth has been rapid. earlier this year, bridgit launched closeout ,which is designed so that even the least tech-savvy（了解） can use it easily. today, the app is being used on sites across canada and the united states and even by top general contractors. in october, bridgit was named to the canadian innovation exchanges top 20 list of canadas most innovative (创新的) companies working in digital media and information and communication technology . but ms. hasegawa and ms. brodie are not resting on their glories. they have also been collecting feedback on closeout from customers, and theyll launch a new version in the spring. it will target not only general contractors but developers and building owners, too. 9. what does the underlined word defects in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. style. b. process. c. drawback. d. material.10. what did the two graduates decide to do when the pilot version was well received? a. turn to the ordinary consumer market.b. look for wider applications of their app.c. turn it into a widely-used tool for consumers.d. continue centering on the development in construction industry.11. who could be their potential customers? a. smartphone users. b. architects. c. computer programmers. d. photographers.12. which of the following might be the best title? a. graduates smartphone application takes offb. graduates smartphone application has a bright futurec. graduates smartphone application meets with challengesd. graduates smartphone application plays an important role in our lifedblind imitation（模仿） is self-destruction. to those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. when i first learned to cook, i used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. but soon i grew bored. why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own? imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models. if, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. creative people have an endless resource of ideas. the problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. then you can say, “i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering me on.” 13. to avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _. a. forget daily fear and painb. ask others for decisionsc. choose the right example d. stay away from stars14. according to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _. a. desperate to insurance others with their knowledgeb. willing to accept others ideasc. eager to discover what their ancestors did d. ready to turn their original ideas into reality15. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage? a. to highlight the importance of creatively. b. to criticize the characters of role models.c. to compare imagination with creation. d. to explain the meaning of success.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。your children are watching you. 16 according to the health
