　　(2011年銀川高三模擬)From the beginning of human history，wild animals provided food，clothing and sometimes medicine for man.We may not depend as much on wild animals now.But we hear about them every day.Americans use the names of animals in many ways.Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies especially like to use big cats to sell their products.They like lions，tigers and wildcats.When Americans say wildcat，they usually mean a_lynx，an_ocelot_or_a_bobcat.All these cats attack quickly and fiercely.So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.

　　An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different.It was used to describe members of Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812.A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen went home.It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unnecessary war.

　　Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s.At that time，some states permitted banks to make their own money.One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it.Some banks，however，did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered.So the money had little or no value.It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat banknote.The banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks.A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money.It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.

　　Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it.Dishonest developers would buy such property.Then they would sell it and leave town with the money.The buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground.Today，wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not known to have oil.

　　(2010年黃岡中學月考)Most American kids love Halloween treats，but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist’s nightmare.Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed，but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad ones.

　　It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters，but how much time it stays in his mouth.According to pediatric dentist Dr.Kaneta Lott，the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time.This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat，the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth，causing cavities to form.The longer the food stays in the mouth，the more likely cavities will develop.Therefore，potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth.For the same reason，raisins and crackers are not the best choice.Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats.

　　If children really love candy，dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies，chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth.Besides，chocolate contains tannins，which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth.But no matter what a child eats，brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities.

　　6. What is the main purpose of this passage?

　　A. To discuss how cavities can be treated.

　　B．To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations.

　　C．To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children’s teeth.

　　D．To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candy for their children.

　　解析：選C。寫作目的題。通過本文，作者主要想告訴父母在萬圣節給孩子吃什么甜食對他們牙齒腐蝕小。

　　7. Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth?

　　A．They may break the children’s teeth.

　　B．They contain too much sugar.

　　C．They help bacteria to produce tannins.

　　D．They stay in the mouth for a long time.

　　解析：選D。細節理解題。從文中第二段內容可知，黏性的或硬的甜食在人的口腔里存留的時間長，對人的牙齒損傷最大。

　　8. According to the passage，which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats?

　　A．Chocolate.B．Crackers.

　　C．Raisins.

　　D．Potato chips.

　　解析：選A。細節理解題。從最后一段第一句可知答案。

　　9. According to the passage，which of the following is true of tannins?

　　A．They are produced when the bacteria digest the food.

　　B．They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth.

　　C．They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly.

　　D．They destroy the surface of the teeth.

　　解析：選B。正誤判斷題。從最后一段中的“Besides，chocolate contains tannins，which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth”可知答案。
