【答案】D
【解析】本题考查主谓一致。句意：所有的科学证据表明在农业中越来越多地使用化学物
质正在危害我们的健康。evidence是不可数名词，所以主句的谓语动词为shows；而在宾语

从句中主语部分increasing use of chemicals in farming的中心词为use，所以谓语动词为is。

$Nobody had ever _. 36 _ before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But, as she$
$looked at me, sincerely waiting for__ 37__, 1 realized she was not trying to be rude.$ "I never think
about it," $I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people _38__$
me and saw only gappy teeth.
$Later that day at home, I began to __39 __ my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be$
somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else
seemed to have!

$convince me that there was nothing to __41__. When I refused to listen, she told me I could get$
the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. "Let'$s be 42__, though,$" she said. "If
everyone got surgeries to become pretty, everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in
differences."
$Her __43__ made me consider my teeth seriously. The thought of losing my gap was more terrible$
than the reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me. It is part
$of my 44 _.$

$46__.$
$So if that girl ever asked about my teeth 47___, I would truthfully answer.$ "You know? It's really
cute."
