三、阅读理解 (共20小题, 计40分）
A
4959350153670Are you afraid of going to the dentist (牙医)? If so, you're not alone.
These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn't feel most of the time in dental surgeries (牙科手术). In fact. among the 451 interviewed patients, 75 ％ reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.
Could it be the sound of the drill (钻头)then?
"I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don't have any pain." Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.
To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.
What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing (听觉处理), which means, for these people, the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds
In the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated (激活) was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.
Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists’ drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.
26．How does the writer explain that the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries? ______
A．By showing facts with numbers. B．By asking questions one by one.
C．By giving examples group by group. D．By comparing results of patients.
27．According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word "evoke" mean in Chinese? ______
A．减轻 B．引起 C．显示 D．阻止
28．How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study? ______
A．It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear group.
B．For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memory.
C．For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.
D．It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories.
29．Which of the following is Not True? ______
A．The researcher used machines to check volunteers’ brain activities.
B．The sound of the drills is the same as other sounds for the low-fear group.
C．The sound of drilling has nothing to do with the feeling of pain.
D．Different brain areas were activated by the sound of drilling
30．What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A．How the study might be useful. B．Some new ways to treat teeth.
C．The proper way to treat dental patients. D．The importance of keeping our teeth healthy.

Have you ever heard of STEM education? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It means students can learn these four subjects in one class. They can also work on many projects to practice what they learn. STEM education is very popular in the US.
Now many Chinese schools start to use STEM education. More than 600 middle schools are using it, and Beijing Yuying School is one of them.
The school started the course in May. It invited college teachers to teach more than 80 students about programming, robotics and other interdisciplinary (跨学科的）knowledge.
The teaching style is quite different from the traditional education. Once students get basic knowledge, they will practice it immediately. For example, after learning about the electrical circuit（电路）, students are required to design one that can control three lights at the same time.
They also have many projects to improve their hands-on abilities. Once, they needed to make a smart home model in a competition. All the students were required to design a house model and make it smart. Liu Tianyou, 12, with his teammates, used computer programs and censors（传感器）to finish it. “If you open the door, the lights will turn on automatically,” he said. Their work won the third prize.
The course also develops students’ creativity. Zhao Hongyi, 14, particularly likes robots. After learning mechanics and programming in the class, he made a robot within two months. From assembling to testing, he finished it on his own. The robot can grasp things and walk on certain tracks under orders from him. “It’s cool to make my dream come true,” he said。
