Answer 1

51---60    BBADC   BCCDA  

解析:

51.decay的意思是“腐烂”。(牙齿)的腐烂开始于覆盖在牙齿上的珐琅层上的小裂纹。destruction的意思是“破坏”；fault的意思是“缺点”；hurt的意思是“受伤”。答案为B。 

52.collected在此为不及物动词，意思是“聚集；堆积”。细菌和食物聚集在牙缝后，就会引起牙齿珐琅层的破裂。store作不及物动词的意思是“贮藏”；laid是及物动词，意思是“放”；pile常和up连用，意思是“堆积”。答案为B。

53.healthy“健康的”，本篇短文讨论的是保持牙齿健康的问题。B为“完全的”；C为“有效的”；D为“无痛苦的”，均不合文意。答案为A。 

54.“examine”表示医生检查身体(某一神经)，看牙医的目的是让他检查我们的牙齿是否生长正常。observe的意思是“观察”；skim的意思是“掠过”；watch的意思是“注视”。答案为D。 

55. 每年至少看两次牙医可以保证我们牙齿的健康。他们可以为我们补牙，检查我们的牙龄是否生长正常。但是，不幸的是人们只在牙痛时才去看牙医。而A表示“出乎意料地”；B表示“肯定小”；D表示“一般地”，均不合题意。答案为C。 

56.从后句once after breakfast and once before we go to bed可知。答案为B。 

57.clean为“使……干净”。饭后使用牙签的目的是清除牙齿之间的食物。drill的意思是“钻”；dig的意思是“挖”；explore的意思是“探险”。答案为C。 

58.beneficial的意思是“有益的”。为了保持我们牙齿的健康，我们必须吃有益于牙齿健康的食物。delicious的意思是“好吃的；美味的”；valuable的意思是“有价值的”；meaningful的意思是“意味深长的”。答案为C。 

59.巧克力、糖果、饼干和蛋糕对牙齿有害，特别是我们在两顿饭之间吃这些东西。注意这四个选项的语法功能：what, how和whether只能引导名词性从句；而when既可以引导名词性从句，也可以引导时间状语从句。从句子的结构和意思都可判断出是时间状语从句，而不会是名词性从句。答案为D。 

60.stick to的意思是“粘住”。巧克力、糖果、饼干和蛋糕会粘在我们的牙齿上，造成牙齿破裂，所以它们是有害的。attach to的意思是“附属于”；fix on的意思是“固定在”；keep一般不和介词to连用。答案为A。
