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 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 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.
4．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.
5．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 can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D．You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
6．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.
7．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 be used to fill holes in teeth.
D．It will be able to check users' teeth.

“Dad，”I say one day, “let's take a trip. Why don't you fly out and meet me？”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What's our first stop？” asks my father.
“What time is it？”
“Still don't have a watch？”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable，” he says. “How was this done？”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, Would I e v er de v ote my life to anything?
No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father's voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad？” I ask.
“Only once，” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each
other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
That_last_sentence—it's_probably_the_same_thing_I'd_say_about_my_father._An d_what_I'd_want_my_child_to_say_about_me.
In Glacier National Park, my father s ays, “I've never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize — and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father.
“The photos from the trip are wonderful，”he says. “We've got to take another trip like that sometime.”
I tell him I've decided to settle down, and I'm wearing a watch.
8．We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father ________.
A. followed the fashion
B. got bored with his job
C. was unhappy with the author's lifestyle
D. liked the author's collection of stamps
9．From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author ________.
A．wants his children to learn from their grandfather
B．comes to understand what parental love means
C．learns how to communicate with his father
D．hopes to give whatever he can to his father
10．What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A. The call solves their disagreements.
B. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.
C. They decide to learn photography together.
D. They begin to change their attitudes to life.
11．What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Love Nature, Love Life
B. A Son Lost in Adventure
C. A Journey with Dad
D. The Art of Travel
D
I wanted to buy something today — until I figured out the cost versus the benefit.
At that point I knew it was a completely stupid idea.
What I wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition to my four-year-old Smart Car that absolutely like. So you wonder, if I like the Smart Car, why would I want to have another car as well? The reason is ... grandkids.I have several and in the Smart Car I can only have one passenger (It's a two-seater). Besides, one of my daughters-in-law does not trust the Smart Car as a vehicle for her daughter Lily to ride in, so that's one little girl I can't take anywhere at all. My husband also has a car — and a truck — but I have driven the truck only a couple of times in the many years we've had it and I have not driven his year-old car at all.
So that's why I had the stupid idea to buy an old Toyota I found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8,000 to buy it，$80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. It would be senseless to buy that car.
My grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. I can't take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. As for the little one that's not allowed to ride with me ... well, Grandpa will have to pick her up. As for me, I didn't get money in my savings account by being totally stupid.Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group—which would probably drive me crazy anyway—is really dumb. Sometimes temptation can prove that you still have a little sense.
Whew! That was close.
12．Why did the author want to buy a car?
A. Her Smart Car is in poor condition.
B. She wanted to replace her Smart Car.
C. Her daughter-in-law asked her to do so.
D. The space in her Smart Car is limited.
13．The author gave up the idea of buying the Toyota because ________.
A. it was a used car
B. she couldn't afford it
C. there was no need for it
D. the salesman was unreliable
14．The underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by ________.
A. difficult
B. stupid
C. reasonable D．amazing
15．Which of the following proverbs best describes the text?
A. Look before you leap.
B. Better late than never.
C. Don't judge a book by its cover.
D. Every advantage has its disadvantage.

Rules on How to Be a Fit Kid
Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. __16__ If you're a kid who wants to be fit, here are three rules to go by.
Eat a variety of foods.
You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. __17_ Taste new foods and old ones you haven't tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, are more pleasing the older you get. Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day—two fruits and three vegetables.
__18__
What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating. __19__ And over a period of time, overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Limit screen time.
What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs，playing video games, and using the computer. The more time you spend on these sittingdown activities, the less time available for active stuff, like basketball, bike riding and swimming. __20_
These rules aren't magic. However, follow them most of the time and you can become a fit kid sooner or later.
A．Drink water and milk.
B．Listen to your body.
C．Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.
D．There're a lot of discussions these days about fit kids.
E．Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
F．Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly.
G．If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.

期末考试英语试题

2．A解析：细节理解题。根据The Blue Peter Experience部分的adults ￡7.50，children￡4.95可知。
3．B解析：推理判断题。根据这几个活动中出现的children's event，young fans，children's programme，family event，children's wonderland等信息可知这些活动都适合儿童参加。
4．A解析：考查细节理解。从第一段中的“An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush”可知答案。

6．A解析：考查推理判断。从第五段中的“They said‘yes，’but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry”可推知，他们不愿意刷牙。
7．D解析：考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush”可知答案。
8．C解析：考查推理判断。第三段：My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.表明父亲对我的生活方式很不满意。故选C。
9．B解析：考查推理判断。根据短文中：We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.以及That last sentence—it's probably the same thing I'd say about my father. And what I'd want my child to say about me. 从作者这些话可以看出，他从父亲的话里慢慢理解了父母的爱是什么样的。故选B。

14．B解析：词义猜测题。根据doing things with the kids in fun及but表达的转折含义可以推断，此处是说花那么多钱就是为了让孩子们坐在一起，确实很愚蠢。倒数第二、三段解释了作者决定不买车的原因，里面出现的stupid也是提示。
15．A解析：推理判断题。文章通过作者的经历说明我们要能经得起诱惑，在做决定前一定要理智一些，要“三思而后行”。

Dear_John，
How_is_everything_going？As_you_know，I'll_have_a_long_holiday_after_the_College_Entrance_Examination.
I'm dying for the summer vacation，for which I've already come up with a good plan.First of all，getting together with friends is a must after all the stress and hard work.I also plan to travel to other places to experience different cultures and make some new friends.What's more，I cannot wait to learn a musical instrument，because I am really fond of music.As part of my summer plan，I am supposed to pass the driving test for the driving license，too.Therefore a rich and colorful holiday is waiting for me ahead.
Yours，Li_Hua
