    Details were【C4】______at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research. A(n)【C5】______of 24 volunteers who participated in the study were given strict instructions【C6】______oral health, diet and medicine taking.

选项 A、modes
B、examples
C、copies
D、samples

答案 D

解析 语义衔接题。前文讲过第一阶段2星期的实验结束后,研究者测量了被试口腔中的细菌和口臭化合物水平。现在是第二阶段结束后,显然还要采集样品测量一次,选[D]samples“样品”。[A]modes意为“方式,风格”;[B]examples意为“例子”,take examples意为“举例”:[C]copies意为“复制品”。
