19、pe that he was still out there.Kate Olson, who lives in New Hampshire, celebrated the safe return of Walter, who was lost last year. “There is a part of me that just always knew that I was going to get him,” Olson said.Olson was visiting her boyfriends parents in St. Louis for the holidays when Walt
20、er escaped. Walter was on a walk with her boyfriends parents and “he just got so frightened that he backed out of his collar and he just took off,” she said.Olson, who got Walter as an 8-week-old puppy, searched for Walter for two weeks without any luck. She said it was hard to go back home knowing
21、he was missing.To continue her search for Walter, Olson posted (发帖子) all over social media asking for help.

22、, the dog in the photo was Walter.Walter was caught by an organization called Lost Paws Trapping. “13 days shy of living in the woods, avoiding everyone he met and finally on Friday the 13th, Walter has been trapped.” Lost Paws Trapping wrote on its Facebook page.Olson said seeing Walter after nearl

27、ry lucky to find her dog.D.

But we have
28、our own levels of stress. Many students in their high school years start their first job, so now you have school in the mornings, followed by responsibilities at home and work.

29、school feeling sleepy the next day. What good is that?Lets not forget about peer (同龄人) pressure. All high school students meet with it at some point in their lives. High school can be a place where students are made fun of, singled out and pointed at.My point is: it is a whole lot more stressful to
30、be a student in high school than adults believe.

31、ells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is often hard and that the responsibilities are serious.

It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection
36、.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 doctor actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able t
37、o talk to other applications(应用) on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush.

38、er. 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
39、$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.

89、因此，应该建议学生尽快报名）可知，篮球会是最热门的一项，所以选择篮球的学生最好早点报名。故选A。23. 推理判断题。根据Date: May 20, 2010下“Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it.

91、ok群组找到她的狗的。故选C项。25细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Walter was caught by an organization called Lost Paws Trapping.(沃尔特被一个叫做“失落之爪”的组织抓到了)”可知，是一个叫做“失落之爪”的组织抓到了狗。故选B项。26细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Her advice to anyone with a missing pet is “just to keep trying.” (她对任何丢失宠物的人的建议是“继续努力”)”可知，奥尔森对那些失去宠物的人的建议是不要放弃尝试。故选A项。27推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“

93、准备。28. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many students in their high school years start their first job, so now you have school in the mornings, followed by responsibilities at home and work. By the time you are done there, you are too tired to finish your school work, but you stay up late to finish and return to school
94、 feeling sleepy the next day. What good is that?(许多学生在高中时就开始了他们的第一份工作，所以现在你每天早上都要上学，然后是在家和工作中的责任。当你在那里把工作都完成的时候，你太累了，无法完成你的作业，但你熬夜去完成作业，第二天回到学校感觉很困。这有什么好处？)”可知作者反对课后做兼职。故选A。29. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Adults often tell us that we dont know what stress is. But we have our own levels of stress.(成年人经常告诉我们，我们不知道什么
95、是压力。但我们有自己的压力水平。)”以及第四段“My point is: it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in high school than adults believe. Our stress may not include paying bills, but Im sure if the adults in our lives could go back to school today, they would be surprised at how much it has changed.(我想说的是：高中生的压力比成年
96、人想象的要大得多。我们的压力可能不包括支付账单，但我敢肯定，如果我们生活中的成年人今天能够回到学校，他们会惊讶于它的巨大变化。)”可知作者认为高中生的压力比成年人想象的要大得多，如今的成年人并不能完全理解现在的高中生，故选D。30. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“I admit that there arent good moments and memories while we are students. My mum always tells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is oft

98、wer them like this: being a student in todays society is not always easy.(如果有人问我现在的学生是什么感觉，我可能会这样回答他们：在当今社会做学生并不总是容易的。)”以及第二段第一句“Adults often tell us that we dont know what stress is.

99、业、兼职、同辈和校园欺凌等各方面的压力，同时还将其与成年人的压力做了对比。由此可知，全文主要围绕高中学生充满压力的生活展开，因此B项“The stressful life of high school students.(高中生紧张的生活。)”能够概括全文，故选B。【答案】32A33C34D35D【分析】本文介绍了一种新的科技发明-智能牙刷。这款智能牙刷可以像医生一样感应出你刷牙的时长和你是否刷的干净彻底。32考查细节理解。由文章中第一段第二行“An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush”可知电动牙刷可以感应出你刷
