regulardentalcheckups,canhelppreventtoothdecayandgumdisease.(正确刷牙和

使用牙线，并且定期进行牙科检查，有助于预防蛀牙和牙龈疾病。)题干中只是提

到刷牙和使用牙线，并未提到做法正确与否，而且漏掉定期牙科检查，属于断章取

义，与原文内容不符。

toohardcancauserecedinggums,toothsensitivity,and,overtime,looseteeth.（刷

compromisedimmunesystemsorinfectiousdiseases.（交换牙刷过程中产生的液体交

说更需注意。）由此可见，文章中没有提到被污染的牙刷会否传播病毒和细菌。

6、Flossing,anessentialpartofthetooth-cleaningprocess,removesplaquebetween

teethandatthegumline,（hebreedinggroundfor.

标准答案：volatilesulfurcompounds

出售的美白产品之前先去和自己的牙科医生聊聊。你的牙科医生可能会给你一些专

业治疗。这些专业治疗是针对你一个人的独特需求的，要比柜台出售的美白产品更

有效。）由此可得答案。

8、Sugarlessfood,suchas,playsaroleinthepreventionoftoothdecay.

标准答案：cheese,popcorn,rawvegetables,andyogurt

知识点解析：Sugarless与文中的nonsugary同义，由此定位到TheNutrition

Connection末段：Ifyousnack,eatnonsugaryfoods,suchascheese,

popcorn,rawvegetable,oryogurt.（如果你吃零食，吃一些无糖食品,比如奶酪、

知识点解析：定位到文章中GoingloiheDemist标题下的第二段：Yourfirst

consultationwithadentistwillprobablyconsistofthreemainparts：adentaland

medicalhistory...adentalexamination...,andaprofessionalbleaching.（第一次去看牙

医可能由二部分组成：牙病史，牙齿检查，以及专业洗牙c）此题题干中的viE,

informationinquiry是对原文的解释。题干的意思是要求填写包括几部分，所以做

题时应该忽略原文括号中的部分，节省时间，快速得出答案。

10、Youngpeoplearemorelikelytohavetoothdecaywhileolderpeopleareatagreater

riskfor.

标准答案：rootcaries

是任何年龄的成年人也不例外。事实上，在五十岁以上的人中，三个蛀牙洞中有两

个是在已经填补过的牙洞周围腐蚀的，而且大多数60岁以上的人由于牙龈疾病而

容易患牙根蛀牙。）题干中的morelikelylo是对原文中prone的解释。题「是对原
