Scientists have come up with a very unusual toothpasteit was made using
sheep's wool.The outer layer of teeth-enamel (that coats our teeth is the
干精
hardest material in the body.Tooth enamel wears away with age,leading to tooth sensitivity and
eventually a need for dentures.This process is also hastened by acidic foods and poor oral hygiene.
Fluoride()toothpaste can slow this process but not stop it.It remains one of the safest
treatments to prevent deterioration,but it's not capable of fostering enamel regrowth or replacing
what has already disappeared.Once enamel is gone,it's gone.
Recently,Elsharkawy and colleagues wondered if a very resilient protein called keratin could
somehow help reinforce teeth.The new,sustainably sourced toothpaste additive may soon
transform how we strengthen-and even restore-weakened or lost tooth enamel.However,this
potential game-changing dentistry ingredient isn't harvested from rare or complex sources.Instead,
the protein can be found in everyone's hair,skin,and fingernails.
The protein forms a dense scaffold that mimics the structure,color,and function of actual
enamel.Over time,the scaffold continues to attract calcium and phosphate ions,leading to the
growth of an enamel-like crystal structure.When the keratin-based toothpaste was applied to teeth
in the laboratory,it patched holes in the enamel.Dr.Elsharkawy says the mixture created "a
material as strong as natural enamel."
Study first author Sara Gamea,along with Elsharkawy,believes that their groundbreaking
solution to the nearly ubiquitous dental concern may only be 2 to 3 years away from becoming
publicly available.They anticipate the keratin-based mixture could be added to over-the-counter
toothpaste like fluoride,or used in targeted repairs at a dentist's by applying it like nail polish.
"Not only is it sustainably sourced from biological waste materials like hair and skin,it also
eliminates the need for traditional plastic resins,commonly used in restorative dentistry,which are
toxic and less durable,"explained Gamea.

一、阅读理解
Around 13.5 million workers,mainly in service jobs,spend long hours exposed to background
music designed for customers,not employees.A study explores how mismatched background
music affects workers'mental states and behaviors,highlighting the impact of music choice.
The study uncovered that mismatched background music in workplaces can negatively impact
employees.When music fails to match with what workers need to stay energized or concentrate,it
can lead to fatigue ()difficulty focusing,and dissatisfaction at work.This disconnection
affects individual well-being and encourages behaviors that could harm the organization.
The issue of mismatched background music is particularly challenging for individuals who
struggle to block environmental noise.To explore this,researchers conducted two studies involving
166 full-time workers participating online.In the first study,participants listened to either upbeat
pop music or slower,somber tunes while completing a creativity task.Participants who felt the
music didn't match their needs reported feeling more tired and less positive afterward.
The second study involved 68 workers from various fields.Over three weeks,they completed
daily surveys about the music they heard at work and their mental state.On days when the music
didn't match with their needs,employees were more likely to act out working slowly,criticizing
the workplace,or even taking office supplies.At the same time,they were less likely to perform
positive actions,like helping colleagues with tasks beyond their responsibilities.
The findings stress the importance of employers considering their employees'musical
preferences.Employers should balance background music to suit customers and employees.They
can create spaces where workers can escape the music during breaks or provide smart earbuds that
filter out noise while allowing customers and employees to listen to their own music when
appropriate,which may improve productivity,focus and well-being.
1.What is the main problem discussed in the text?
A.Companies lack workplace noise strategies.B.Heavy workloads may reduce productivity.
C.Mismatched music affect workers negatively.D.Customers differ employees in music tastes.
2.What is the relationship between the first study and the second one?
A.The second one is based on the first one.
B.The second one strengthens the first one.
C.The second one opposed the first one's result.
D.The second one serves as a comparative study.
3.What does the underlined phrase "filter out"in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Block out.
B.Work out.
C.Try out.
D.Figure out.
4.What does the text suggest the employers do?
A.Play employees'favorite music.
B.Give employees more break time.
C.Push employees to listen to music at home.D.Provide noise-reduction solutions for staff.

二、阅读七选五
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者经历的反向文
化冲击。
1.F
根据上文“Language difficulties.Culture shock.
Homesickness.”可知作者列举一系列文化冲击,下文But表明
前后应是转折关系。F选项“这些都是你出国留学之前可能会
担心的事情。”总结上文提及的问题,并与下文作者的不同情况
形成转折对比,符合逻辑,承上启下,故选F。
2.C前文提出问题“Why was I feeling so disconnected?”,空处应
给出回答,下文“I'd idealized home in my mind..AndI'd
expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was
gone.”提及作者在国外的做法,C选项“我意识到我不在的时候
做了两件事。”引出下文,回答上文问题,符合逻辑,故选C。
3.A根据上文“But as you live in a new culture,you quickly
adapt to a different way of life;meanwhile,you think life at
home is no different..”和下文“Some friends have been apart
from each other while others have become closer together.”可知
上文提及国内生活没有发生改变,后文提及人际关系的变化,
所以A选项“然而,每个人都在变。”起到承上启下的作用,并和
上文构成转折关系,故选A。
4.G上文提及当你来到一个陌生的地方,你需要努力去适应新
环境。你的每一天都充满了新的兴趣和繁忙的日程。下文提
及在“我”看来很奇怪,大学里没有人事先提醒过你这件事。G
选项“毫无疑问,一旦学期结束,许多交换生感到不知所措。”和
上文形成对比,并且下文中It指代的就是一且学期结束,许多
交换生感到不知所措这件事,符合题意,故选G。
5.D上文提及作者一直在想要多久才能恢复正常。找一份兼职
工作最终会帮助减轻自已的疏离感。可推断下文应该继续讲
述怎样去摆脱这种与外界脱节的感觉,所以D选项“花更多的
时间和家人朋友在一起也有帮助。”符合逻辑,故选D。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科研团队发现的以角
蛋白为核心的新型牙膏添加剂,其来源于头发、皮肤等生物废料,
能模拟牙釉质结构并促进类牙釉质晶体生长,有望实现牙釉质的
强化与修复,还提及该技术的应用前景及环保优势。
l.C词义猜测题。根据第一段“Tooth enamel wears away with
age,leading to tooth sensitivity and eventually a need for
dentures.”可知,牙釉质会随年龄增长自然磨损;画线词所在句
中“also”表明“酸性食物和不良口腔卫生”对这一过程起到了额
外作用。结合下一句“Fluoride toothpaste can slow this process
but not stop it..(氟化物牙膏能减缓该过程,但无法阻止。)”以及
下文提及新研发的牙膏如何修复牙釉质,可推断“hastened”与
“slow”(减缓)语义相反,指“加速”。故选C。
2.B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The protein forms a dense
scaffold that mimics the structure,color,and function of actual
enamel..”及本段第三句“When the keratin--based toothpaste was
applied to teeth in the laboratory,it patched holes in the
enamel.”可知,新型牙膏中的角蛋白会形成模仿天然牙釉质结
构、颜色和功能的致密支架,进而修复牙釉质漏洞,本质是形成
类似天然牙釉质的保护涂层。故选B。
3.A细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not only is it sustainably
sourced from biological waste materials like hair and skin,it
also eliminates the need for traditional plastic resins,commonly
used in restorative dentistry,which are toxic and less durable"
可知,新型牙膏的原料来自生物废料,且避免使用有毒、耐用性
差的传统塑料树脂,这体现了其“更环保”的特点。故选A。
4.A标题归纳题。文章开篇指出牙釉质流失后无法再生的问
题,随后重点介绍新型角蛋白牙膏能模拟牙釉质结构、修复漏
洞,甚至有望实现牙釉质的恢复,且提及该技术两到三年内或
可普及。A(牙釉质再生:并非不可能)既点明了核心突破(牙釉
质恢复),又呼应了传统认知的转变,符合文章主旨。故选A。
