48、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。46.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
49、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。47.Which of the followi

52、he 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。49.What can we infer about Servals children?A.They were unwilling to brush their teeth.B.They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.C.They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.D.They
53、 liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.答案:A解析:推理判断题。由第五段可以得知,Serval下班回家时会问孩子是否刷牙,孩子的回答是“yes”,但是他却发现他们的牙刷是干的,由此判断孩子们在撒谎。因此可以看出孩子们不爱刷牙。故A项正确。50.What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?A.The brush handle will be removed.B.A mobile phone will be built into it.C.It will
54、 be used to fill holes in teeth.D.It will be able to check users teeth.答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Serval says that one day,itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.”可以判断,将会用一种带有摄像机的新型装置来取代现在牙刷的刷把,并不是将“handle”拿掉,所以排除A项;根据最后一句“.examine holes in your te
55、eth while you brush.”可知,刷牙时这种新式牙刷安装的摄像头可以检查你的牙洞,故D项正确。第二节下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第5155题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。A.Find a JobB.Get OrganizedC.Look Out for ScholarshipsD.Seek Alternative TransportationE.Be Creative with Your Leisure TimeF.Set Up a Students Checking AccountTips for Saving
