If so, you39。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 isn39。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 don39。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 lowfear and highfear 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 lowfear 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 highfear 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 itthey 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 39。 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 isn39。t felt most of the time in dental surgeries?

There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow. When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars bee popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars bee a reality. Threedimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic. They build the object layer by layer until it is plete. Car panies already use 3D printers to make lifesize models of car parts, and medical panies use the technology to make manmade body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive. So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.（1）What is the passage mainly about? A.Environmental protection.B.The world of tomorrow.C.Advantages of technology.（2）What do we learn from the passage? A.Some people think technology development may bring new problemsB.3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.C.The flying cars won39。t bring air traffic jam even when they bee popular.（3）What is the correct structure of the passage? （P1=Paragraph1） A.B.C.（4）What does the underlined word they refer to? A.Car panies.B.3D print.C.Body parts.（5）We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology. A.doesn39。t careB.feels hopefulC.feels disappointed14．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 In many cou
