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(跟踪) 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 (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 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 example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and 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, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market.
1.All of the following statements are wrong except ____________.
A.It can track users’ school performance.
B. It can sense how users brush their teeth.
C. It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist.
D. It can help users find their phones.
2.What can we learn from Serval’s 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’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
D. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
3.What can we infer about Serval’s 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 liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

B
People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔) each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
1.What is the main reason why people are overweight?
A. They burn many calories every day.
B. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
C. They eat food with lots of calories.
D. They don’t take weight loss pills.
2.The article is written in order to________.
A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food.
B.tell readers about an important scientific discovery.
C.tell readers how to lose weight.
D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy.
3.To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should_________.
a. do exercise every day b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables d. eat low-fat or sweet food
e. eat the proper foods at each meal
A. a, b, c, e B. a, b, d, e
C. a, c, d, e D.a, b, c, d

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life,new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study,people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers(慢跑者) and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates(率) from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(适合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.
The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time,this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr,a researcher in Copenhagen,said,“If your goal is to decrease(减少) risk of death and improve life expectancy,jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy(策略).Anything more is not just unnecessary,and it may be harmful.”
The implications(含义) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi,yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events,triathlons(三项全能) and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott,another researcher in the study,“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact(影响) on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.
1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”.
A.hard B.regular
C.practical D.flexible(灵活的)
2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.
A.suggest giving up jogging
B.show risks of doing sports
C.provide supportive evidence(证据)
D.introduce the research process(过程)
3.According to the scientists,why is too much exercise harmful?
A.It may injure the heart and arteries.
B.It can make the body tired out.
C.It will bring much pressure.
D.It consumes too much energy.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.No exercise at all is the best choice.
B.More exercise means a healthier life.
C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.
D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.

When Shakespeare was twenty?one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.
There were the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.
Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.
Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants — all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.
And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.
1.What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?
A.Dirty and small. B.Strange and interesting.
C.Infamous and terrible. D.Familiar and modern.
2.Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?
A.Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.
B.Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.
C.Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.
D.Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.
3.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Crowd. B.Sight.
C.Face. D.Resident.
4.The passage probably comes from ________.
A.a poster B.a textbook
C.an advertisement D.an announcement

Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world's heritage.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
1.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
A.To tell us what is heritage.
B.To stress the importance of heritages.
C.To explain the aims of protecting heritages.
D.To introduce some places of interest in the world.
2.About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.
A.identification B.application
C.protection D.conservation
3.If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.
A.can ask UNESCO for more money and help
B.should continue to take special care of it
C.won't take trouble of caring for it
D.will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger
4.The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.
A.to attract more tourists from other countries
B.to get more money and help from other countries
C.to have it taken better care of
D.to make it known to other countries
