七、阅读理解
A
It might seem hard to imagine that a bad tooth could be deadly.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 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 mouth.
When baby’s 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 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 swallowing 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 have on their baby’s 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 child’s dentist or doctor.It could influence the correct development of permanent teeth.
1．The boy with a bad tooth died because ________.
A．his tooth disease was very deadly
B．the doctor refused to treat him properly
C．he didn’t receive timely treatment
D．something was wrong with his brain
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They say it might have been prevented...”可知，如果男孩得到及时治疗的话，或许能阻止这种事情的发生。学%
答案：C
2．All the following statements are good to teeth except that ________.
A．children live on breast milk every day
B．children begin to brush their teeth when they are old enough
C．children use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth
D．children form the habit of sucking their thumbs
答案：B
3．The underlined word “supervised” in the fifth paragraph means “________”．
A．watched and directed B．taught and helped
C．praised and advised D．led and pointed out
解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文可知该词的意思是“监督，指导”。此处表示孩子们刷牙的时候应该给予监督和指导。
答案：A
4．Which one of the followings is NOT true according to this passage?
A．Dental care should be given to babies as soon as they are born.
B．Special toothbrushes should be used for babies.
C．Breast milk and fluoride are helpful to protect baby teeth.
D．Dental experts suggest stopping babies sucking their thumbs.
解析：是非判断题。由第六段中的“Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.”及下文可知，早期的吮吸是有好处的，但是四岁的时候如果还这样就要寻求牙医的帮助了。因此，D项的意思不明确，所以是错误的。
答案：D
5．The best title of this passage is ________.
A．The reason of a twelveyear old boy’s death
B．Baby teeth should be cared for from birth
C．Breast milk and fluoride are important
D．How to help young children form good habits

The Olympic flame
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics，where a sacred flame burned at the altar of Zeus throughout competition.It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games，and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem，chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games，proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay.The idea was adopted，and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror.It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times，who then pass it to the first relay runner.
Olympic motto
“Citius，altius，fortius”is a Latin phrase meaning“swifter，higher，stronger”，which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris.Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College，and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school.He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath(宣誓)
“In the name of all competitors，I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games，respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them...in the true spirit of sportsmanship，for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin，the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag.The athletes' oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games.A judge from the host country also speaks the oath with slightly different wording.
【语篇解读】文章从奥林匹克圣火、奥林匹克格言、奥林匹克宣誓等三个方面讲述了奥林匹克的故事。

答案：A

C．from the ancient Olympic Games
D．borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris
解析：细节理解题。由文章第二部分Olympic motto的第一句话可知奥林匹克格言是从Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris那儿借鉴来的。
答案：D
C
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.There are nine sports：cycling，tennis，gymnastics，swimming，athletics，weightlifting，rowing，wrestling and shooting.Sailing was also to have taken place，but had to be cancelled (取消) because of bad weather at sea.
In the first Olympics there were no real team sports.Then，slowly，a few team sports joined the programme.Football and hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908.Then in 1936，at the Berlin Olympics，the Germans brought in handball and the Americans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.
It often happens that the country that introduces a new sport into the Olympics then goes on to win the gold medals.In 1904，at the Olympics in St Louis，the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events.Five horse riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩) Olympics，and Swedish riders won four of them.And in 1964，at the Tokyo Olympics，two sports which are popular in Japan were introduced：judo(柔道)and volleyball.The Japanese won all three gold medals in the judo，and also won the first women's volleyball competition.Some new sports have recently been added to the Olympics.In Los Angeles，in 1984，baseball was introduced and became an Olympic sport.In Seoul(首尔)，Korea in 1988，table tennis was introduced for the first time，and tennis returned as an Olympic sport.Unlike tennis，some
sports，such as golf and rugby(橄榄球)，have been tried in the Olympics but have never returned.

Of all the sports，I like playing football best.
My father is a football player and has taken part in all kinds of competitions.It was under his influence that I began to show an interest in it.Besides，I was deeply influenced by the 2014 World Cup in Brazil，whose theme song I still remember.
Last year，I was admitted into a football team，in which I play as a forward as well as being captain.I play football with my friends every day after finishing my homework.It deserves our devotion and love.
My favourite player is Messi from Argentina.My greatest wish is to be a football superstar like him in the future，and I hope I can stand for my country to play football in the World Cup when I grow up.
