　　How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing 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 LasVegas 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 (don't forget the insides of the teeth！)and make sure you're brushing long enough. “It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day­to­day basis，” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

　　The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on you 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, it'll 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.

　　(2017·河南省长葛市三模)

　　Although different universities in the US have different admissions policies, most determine admission based on several standards, including a student's high school course of study, high school Grade Point Average (GPA), participation in activities, SAT or ACT exam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal interview.

　　The university admissions office considers whether a student has taken courses in high school that have prepared him or her for more difficult coursework. A student's high school GPA is also considered. __1__ Each letter grade is assigned a number of points: A＝4 points, B＝3, C＝2, D＝1 and F＝0 point. A GPA is calculated by adding all of the points earned for each course grade and dividing the total points by the total number of courses taken. __2__

　　Universities prefer to see applications from high school students who have engaged in activities in their spare time, such as clubs, athletic teams and student government. __3__ Most students in the US take the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT during their final year of high school. Each university sets a minimum SAT or ACT score that a student must achieve in order to be admitted. These are standardized quantitative examinations. The SAT tests critical reading, math and writing skills. __4__

　　Students are often required to write an essay as part of the application process. __5__ The applicants may also be required to have a personal interview with a representative from the admissions office.

　　A．A student who fails a required course must repeat the course.

　　B．A GPA is a figure representing a student's accumulated grades.

　　C．Each admissions office determines the length and content of the essay.

　　D．For example, a GPA of 3.0 is a “B” average for all of the courses taken.

　　E．A student graduates after he or she has successfully passed all the required courses.

　　F．The ACT tests English, math, reading, science reasoning and optional writing.

　　G．Voluntary participation in these activities shows students have learned valuable life lessons.

　　文章大意：虽然美国大学的招生政策不同，但是大多数都要求高中学业、GPA、社会活动、SAT或ACT考试分数、书面论文或者个人面试。

　　1．B　前面提到了GPA，所以应该选择B项或者D项；D项与数字相连应该是第二空的内容。所以选B项。

　　2．D　见上题解析。

　　3．G　前面讲到高中生在业余时间从事的活动。所以G项“these activities”与之照应。

　　4．F　前面讲的是SAT以及ACT，所以F项符合语境。

　　5．C　前面的“essay”与C项照应。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　Sarah：What can you refer to if you want to know how tall the tallest person in the world is?

　　Tomas

　　Manning. __2__ to the

　　program, Tomas!

　　Tomas：Thanks, Sarah. It's a pleasure to be here.

　　Sarah：Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from?

　　Tomas：Well, it was first suggested in the early

　　1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director

　　of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird __3__(fly)

　　away so

　　quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the

　　fastest bird in Europe. And it wasn't the fastest. He wondered __4__ it was.

　　Sarah：So I suppose he went to the

　　__5__(near)

　　library to look for the information and he couldn't find it.

　　Tomas：Yeah,

　　that's

　　exactly what

　　happened. And this made Sir Hugh

　　think

　　there __6__ be other people in the same

　　situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like __7__， people would be interested in finding facts about the records to satisfy their __8__(curious).

　　Sarah：So __9__ idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?

　　Tomas：A few years later, in

　　1955. So __10__(answer)

　　your question: the

　　tallest

　　person

　　in the world is 231.7cm tall.

　　文章大意：本文介绍了《吉尼斯世界纪录》这本书的灵感从何而来。

　　答案：

　　1．There　只有一处地方，就是《吉尼斯世界纪录》。there be句型表示“有”。

　　2．Welcome　由上下文可知，此处是主持人的欢迎词，所以填welcome“欢迎”。

　　3．flew　此处介绍过去的一段经历，全部用一般过去时态。

　　4．what　wonder后接宾语从句，从句中was缺少表语，所以填what。

　　5．nearest　由常识可知，应该去最近的(nearest)图书馆查找信息。

　　6．must　由句意可知，此处表示非常肯定的推测。一定有和他一样想要寻找这一信息的人。

　　7．him/himself　介词like后接宾语，所以用宾格形式或者反身代词。

　　8．curiosity　satisfy one's curiosity“满足某人的好奇心”。

　　9．the　想有一本世界纪录的想法诞生了。此处表示特指。

　　10．to answer　不定式表示目的。
