问题 The man is surprised at the fact that
  
M: I hate having my teeth filled. It’s not just the pain I hate. I hate the sound of drilling.
W: So do I. I’d rather have a tooth pulled than filled.
M: [2]Teeth keep causing trouble. [1]Why can’t they transplant teeth the way they transplant hearts? They can give somebody a different heart. Why can’t they give him different teeth?
W: I’ve heard they’re working on that. My dentist says they’re working on tooth transplants right now.
M: On second thought, I’m not sure I’d want to eat with some other person’s teeth.
W:[2]Well, that’s not how it works. The idea is to develop a plastic tooth that can be put into the hole where your own tooth came out.
M: Really? What makes it stay there? Do they hook the plastic tooth to the teeth beside it?
W:No. The plastic tooth is made with plastic roots, and after a while the gums grow around the roots, so the tooth can’t fall out.
M: Are you making this up?
W: No! Seriously. Somebody at the Georgetown University Hospital in Washington has been working on it. So far they’ve tried it on monkeys.
M: Well, [3]it sounds like a good idea.

选项 A、Doctors will try plastic teeth on people.
B、Doctors have made plastic teeth work on animals.
C、Toothache always bothers people.
D、Doctors are tying to transplant a person’s tooth to another person.

答案D

解析 男士听说牙医现在已致力于牙齿移植后,说道:“我可不愿意用别人的牙齿来吃东西。”而女士就他的顾虑解释说:“实验不是这样的。他们会开发一种塑料牙齿来填补到你拔掉牙齿的洞。”由此可知选项D的表述与原文不符。
