B.Byreportinganevent.C.Byassumingasituation. D.Bymakinganappeal.【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段(对我们中的一些人来说,去牙医那里做例行检查是一件很平常的事情。但对世界上许多人来说,尤其是那些生活在贫困地区的人来说,改善牙齿和检查牙齿根本是不可能的。巴西牙医FelipeRossi致力于帮助改变这种状况。)可知,文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查,而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况,引出了文章的主题,即巴西牙医FelipeRossi致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此,作者通过提出对比来引入文章的主题。故选A项。2.WhatmotivatedFelipetoofferdentaltreatmentstoBrazilians?A.Thesupportfromhisparents.B.Thepassionfordentalhealth.C.Theencounterwithlocalslackingdentalcare.D.Theprofessionalskillsandknowledgefromcollege.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Alllocalsdidn’thaveaccesstodentalcare,andconsequently,manyofthemsuffereddeformedteethorevenlossofteeth,leadingtomanypeoplenotdaringtolaughwithmouthopen.’FelipeRossirecalled.‘Adesirewasplantedinmyheart.Thatis,tousemyskillstobringhealthysmilestopeoplesufferingfromdentalproblems.’(‘并不是所有的当地人都能得到牙科护理,因此,很多人的牙齿都变形了,甚至掉了牙,导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’FelipeRossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说,用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知,FelipeRossi在巴西的Balsabo地区看到当地人没有机会接受牙科治疗,很多人因此牙齿变形或甚至失去牙齿,这激发了他提供牙科治疗的决心;由此可知,是当地人缺乏牙科护理的情况促使Felipe为巴西人提供牙科治疗。故选C项。3.WhichofthefollowingcanbestdescribeFelipeRossi?A.Hopefulanddiligent. B.Faithfulandambitious.C.Intelligentandcreative. D.Charitableanddedicated.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Alllocalsdidn’thaveaccesstodentalcare,andconsequently,manyofthemsuffereddeformedteethorevenlossofteeth,leadingtomanypeoplenotdaringtolaughwithmouthopen.’FelipeRossirecalled.‘Adesirewasplantedinmyheart.Thatis,tousemyskillstobringhealthysmilestopeoplesufferingfromdentalproblems.’”可知,FelipeRossi想要利用自己的技能为遭受牙科问题的人们带来健康的笑容,这表明他具有慈善精神。根据最后一段可知,他承认Porsorriso的生存很困难,但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动,无论他们将面临什么困难,这表明他具有奉献精神。故选D项。4.WhatdoweknowaboutPorsorriso?A.Itgivesfreeoraltreatmentstoanyoneinneed.B.ItiscooperatedbyFelipeRossiandthelocalauthority.C.Itisfinanciallysupportedbycorporationsandindividuals.D.Itholdsregularfundraiserstoeducatepeopleaboutdentalcare.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段(赞助通常由两家私人公司提供。个人也可以通过“微笑团结”计划捐款,他们可以选择每月的捐款数额。Porsorriso还定期举行筹款活动,为全国各地提供免费牙科服务。)可知,Porsorriso是由企业和个人提供经济支持。故选C项。【解锁阅读障碍】【熟词生义及低频词汇】1.convert
