But doctors in the Washington area say a twelveyearold boy died last month of a tooth infection that spread to his brain. They say it might have

27、 been prevented if the boy had received the dental care he needed.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care should start at birth. They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the

28、 mouth.When babys teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies，and use them very gently.The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. This natural element is often

29、added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel(釉质)，the hard surface on teeth，to help prevent holes，or cavities from forming.But the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points out that young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth. The group notes that swal

30、lowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste，the size of a green pea，should be used.Parents often wonder what effects sucking a thumb or sucking on a pacifier might ha

31、ve on their babys teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four. If it continues，the group advises parents to talk to their childs dentist or doctor. It could influence the c

32、orrect development of permanent teeth.56The boy with a bad tooth died because_.Ahis tooth disease was very deadlyBthe doctor refused to treat him properlyChe didnt receive timely treatmentDsomething was wrong with his brain57All the following statements are good to teeth except that _.Achildren live

33、 on breast milk every dayBchildren begin to brush their teeth when they are old enoughCchildren use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teethDchildren form the habit of sucking their thumbs58Which one of the followings is NOT true according to this passage?ADental care should be given to babies as so

34、on as they are born.BSpecial toothbrushes should be used for babies.CBreast milk and fluoride are helpful to protect baby teeth.DDental experts suggest stopping babies sucking their thumbs.59The best title of this passage is _.AThe reason of a twelveyearold boys deathBBaby teeth should be cared for

35、from birthCBreast milk and fluoride are importantDHow to help young children form good habits BIt is said that the scientists attending a meeting in Chicago presented new studies showing how food and its production affect global warming. They offered some suggestions for how to eat in a more environ

36、mentally friendly way.For many years，scientists have warned us that our planet is getting warmer. If current trends continue，animals may start to die off and life could get very difficult for everyone. The temperature is rising because humans have been releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases i

37、nto the atmosphere，which surround the planet and keep heat from escaping. One of these gases is carbon dioxide.Most carbon dioxide we produce comes from the process of making and eating food，the scientists reported in Chicago. The production of meat contributes to a lot of carbon dioxide. And much o

38、f meats contribution comes from beef，which is responsible for releasing even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.The process of making a hamburger，for example，requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised，and cows wastes are a major source of greenhouse gases. After the cow is kille

39、d，the meat has to be processed and shipped to a consumer，which takes fuel. And most of the cow wont even be used for meat people eat.By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate，it has taken a heavy toll on the environment. It is believed that the process of making a halfpound allbeef bur

40、ger adds about 19 times the weight of hamburgers in carbon dioxide.The message is clear：We can greatly reduce the production of greenhouse gases by eating less beef. Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environmentat least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released.

41、 Nathan Pelletier，a scientist at Dalhousie University in Canada，reported that if everyone in industrial countries ate chicken instead of beef，we would cut the Earths greenhouse gases by more than half.All kinds of meat，the scientists reported，are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat

42、 a pound of potatoes，for example，sends less than one quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air. So shifting our diet to less meat and more vegetables may do the world some good.60The text mainly tells us _.Awhat we eat can affect the whole planetBthe way we live affects the environmentChow we can

43、 save energy on the EarthDhow we can produce environmentfriendly food61Why does the author mention the process of making a hamburger?ATo show meat is usually part of a hamburger.BTo illustrate that our food contributes to greenhouse gases.CTo prove making a hamburger is a complex process.DTo suggest

44、 a lot of energy is needed to make hamburgers.62The author believes one effective way to fight global warming is_.Awe should eat no pork and no chickenBwe should eat more chicken than beefCwe should eat not meat but vegetablesDwe should eat less meat and more vegetables63Which of the following state

45、ments would Nathan Pelletier agree to?AEating pork and chicken is more environmentally friendly.BMeat consumption is the main cause of greenhouse gases.CPeople in industrial countries consume more beef than fish.DEating more beef is a more efficient way to save more energy. C Nowadays more women are

46、 graduating from colleges than men.The situation is causing some people to worry about the future.The trend could cause social problems，according to a report on July 8 by the Washington Post.Women received about 57 percent of the bachelors degrees awarded this year from colleges and universities in

47、the United States. The figure of 57 percent has been the highest since World War ended in 1945.During the war，many men were in the military.The gap between men and women is greater among African Americans and Hispanics. Two AfricanAmerican women receive a degree for every AfricanAmerican man. Only 4

48、0 percent of Hispanics who get a degree are males.The USA Department of Education estimates 698,000 females received bachelors degree this year. The number of male graduates was 529,000.The trend toward more female graduates began in the mid1980s.Nobody seems to know why. However，many theories exist

49、.Researchers say the trend could lead to social problems. They also say this may indicate two things. It may reflect the increasing success of women. But it also may show the educational problems affecting men.High school graduation rates are slightly lower for men than for women. Males also make up

50、 the vast majority of students in special education classes.The Business Roundtable is studying the trend. The group is an organization of chief executives of some of the nations largest corporations. Susan Traiman is the director of the groups education policy. Traiman said the nation couldnt affor

51、d to let half its population fail to develop skills needed for the future.64Some people worry about the future because _.Athere are many social problems in AmericaBmore and more men dont like the life in collegeCmore AfricanAmerican women receive a degreeDfewer and fewer men receive a degree than wo

52、men in America65Which one of the following statements is right according to this passage?AThere must be something wrong with the education system.B40% of the Hispanics get a degree in America.CNobody knows the reason why more women get a degree than men.DMore than half of the men received bachelors

53、degrees this year.66The underlined word “estimates” in the fourth paragraph means_.AguessesBexplains CintroducesDdiscovers D One of the serious problems for todays society is who should be responsible for the old and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question

54、of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First，employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible，a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take lifel

55、ong responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does

56、 not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition，the government could take the responsibility for the care of th

57、e old. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately，as the present situation in our country shows，this is not a truly viable ans

58、wer. The government can seldom afford to care for the old，particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the old where they are independent.To sum up，all these options have advanta

59、ges and disadvantages. Therefore，it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to the old generations.67What is the passage mainly about?AThe problem faced by the old in society.BWhy we should take responsibility for the old.CHow we can improve the lives of the old.DWhere the old can go to get their pensions.68The underlined word “viable” most probably means “_”AimpossibleBpractical Cuseful
