Flossing (使用牙線) 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. 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 (發(fā)生率) of two or more events is pletely 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.food stuck between your teeth may hurt your teethB.doctors39。not every doctor thinks flossing helps to keep your teeth healthy（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 is to ________.A.B.introduce a new topicD.It is a fact that flossing can help your heart as well as your teeth.B.Because doctors find flossing won39。Even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you should still do it every day.（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A.How to Keep Your Teeth HealthyC.Why Doctors Disagree About Flossing【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文提到經(jīng)過研究，剔牙與保持心臟之間沒有必然的聯(lián)系，但剔牙能保護牙齒的健康是可以肯定的。根據(jù)第一段提到It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food attracts germs(細菌), germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums.(長時間讓食物停留在牙齒是有害處的，這是因為食物能吸引細菌，細菌會產(chǎn)生酸，腐蝕你的牙齒)，故選A項。Not every doctor agrees about these ideas不是每個醫(yī)生都對這些問題持相同的態(tài)度，Some doctors think that the link between good flossing habits and good heart health is only a , some doctors think that people who have bad flossing habits just happen to also have heart problems一些醫(yī)生認為有剔牙習慣的碰巧有心臟問題，故是發(fā)展以前的觀點，因此選D項。根據(jù)最后一段提到剔牙能保持你的心臟健康這一理論可能并不正確的，但醫(yī)生同意剔牙能保證牙齒的健康，因此即使剔牙不能有助于你的心臟，肯定能保護你牙齒，這就是每天剔牙的重要原因，故選D項。本文提到經(jīng)過研究，剔牙與保持心臟之間沒有必然的聯(lián)系，但剔牙能保護牙齒的健康是可以肯定的，故選C項。 Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?
