them?Never fear:An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush,and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(dont forget the insides of the teeth!)and make sure youre brushing long enough.“Its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,”says Thomas Serval,the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone,so developers could,for instance,create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth.“We try to make it smart but also fun,”Serval says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said “yes,”but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer,for $99 to $199,depending on features.The U.S. is the first target market.Serval says that one day,itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.1.Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.B.It can track users school performance.C.It can detect users fear of seeing a dentist.D.It can help users find their phones.答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知“这个电子牙刷是用来感触你刷牙刷了多长时间、你刷牙刷得好不好”,故A项符合题意。B项“可以跟踪用户在校的表现”;C项“可以观察用户们见到牙医所产生的恐惧”;D项“可以帮助用户找到他们的手机”,均与题干不符,故排除。2.What can we learn from Servals words in Paragraph 3?A.You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.B.You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.C.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D.Youd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据本段中“Its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis.”可知,这就好像有个牙医在你身边每天监督你刷牙。故只有C项正确。3.Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?A.It can be used to update mobile phones.B.It can be used to play mobile phone games.C.It can send messages to other users.D.It can talk to its developers.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“.create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth.We try to make it smart but also fun,Serval says.”可以得知,B项正确。4.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How Serval found out his kids lied to him.B.Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.C.How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.D.What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush.答案：D解析：主旨大意题。根据第五段第一句话可知,他的发明是受到了当父亲时的一段经历的启发孩子们总是撒谎骗他已经刷过牙了,因此他决定发明一种能告知他孩子们是否刷牙的牙刷。因此D项正确。六、七选五阅读理解(2016北京卷)TheScienceofRisk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth taking.1 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why?Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then?Well,even 200,000 years ago,too much risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.3No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.4 To help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.5 For the risk-seekers,a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking,well continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A.It all depends on your character.B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D.Thus,these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.答案：15 FCAEG七、语法填空导学号39504028AncientChineseInventionsThe ancient Chinese made many
