3.If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome's dental surgery(手術(shù)) in Glasgow,you'll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth.Jerome says,‘That's because they're frightened.'
(71)B‘That's why I don't wear a white coat.I find that's one of the things that people associate with pain.In fact,my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation,interest and,above all,enjoyment.'
Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain,or at the very least,formal,chinical visits.He says,‘If people are relaxed,entertained and correctly treated,they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.'
Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques,‘(72)DThe headsets are used for the first check-up,where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth."Then the headset switches to a special camera,to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.'
Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist's.Today there is the smell of orange."When people walk in,I want them to realize with all their senses that it's not like going to dentist's.Smell is very important(73)F.
Known as Clasgow's most fashionable dentist,Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously‘(74)C'.For example,Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them,rather than scraping them.‘It feels a bit strange,but as long as people are relaxed,it's not painful.'(75)A‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient,you make it easier for yourself'He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.
At that moment,a patient arrives.Jerome rushes over,offers him a cup of tea,askes him what video he'd like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
A.Five years ago,Jerome went to the United States to do research.
B.He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.
C.The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.
D.We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.
E.Now they look forward to their visits here.
F.That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists.
G.Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they're in pain.

解答 71-75 BDFCA
71.B.考查上下文的理解能力.上一段提到That's because they're frightened,以及劃線后面說That's why I don't wear a white coat,那么W.Lloyd Jerome努力做到的就是盡量創(chuàng)造一個病人并不那么害怕的環(huán)境;故選B.
72.D.考查上下文的理解能力.前面提到Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques,虛擬現(xiàn)實的耳機(jī)是他的新的放松科技的新應(yīng)用,自然是在英國最先引進(jìn)這一療法的;故選D.
73.F.考查上下文的理解能力.前面提到Smell is very important氣味對于牙科病人診療的作用,所以F項That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists與此相吻合;故選F.
74.C.考查上下文的理解能力.Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously說明就醫(yī)環(huán)境重要,同樣醫(yī)生的精湛醫(yī)術(shù)更重要;故選C.
75.A.考查上下文的理解能力.由后面的內(nèi)容One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient,you make it easier for yourself可知,這是舉例說明他的這種奇特的治療方法;故選A.
點評 對于選句填空這種題型要搞明白上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系,要根據(jù)對話者所說的語氣及語義關(guān)系來做出判斷;只要符合文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、通順合理即可.
