Founded by Thomas Acton to keep alive the 19th-century farming practices he grew up with, the farm was the first of its kind and has been much copied since. Thomas’s foresight has helped to preserve many traditions that might otherwise have been lost to modern-day farming techniques. The Historic Working Farm offers an interesting insight into rural life at the turn of the 19th century, as farm life unfolds daily while the land around is worked by heavy horses. There are daily demonstrations of period skills, providing a picture of life as it might have been on a Victorian country estate. Special events and traditional craft (技艺) and trade courses to learn about the forgotten skills of the past run throughout the year. The Old School, originally built by Frances Stackhouse Acton in the late 19th century to educate children, has been recently restored and is now an attractive cafe. It serves home-cooked hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks. Opening times Saturday — Wednesday 10:00 to 16:30, March — October, last admissions 15:30 Ticket prices 0 — 2: Free 3 — 17: £5.00 Adults: £9.00 Pensioners: £8.00 For more information email us on acton.scott.museum@shrop-shire.gov.uk or telephone 01694-781-307 or visit the Acton Scott website. 36.

Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown. 41. What activity was organized for the school reunion? A. Sightseeing in the park. B. A picnic on the school playground. C. Telling stories about past events. D.

Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days.”（参观了老校舍，还在同盟公园野餐。几名之前的教师在场讲述过去的故事。）可知，学校重聚上组织的活动包括参观老校舍、在同盟公园野餐和几名之前的教师在场讲述过去的故事，结合选项可知，学校重聚上组织的活动是讲述关于过去事件的故事。故选C项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.”（许多人开始看手表，找借口去任何地方，而不是准备听一位老妇人的讲座，这位老妇人对她的学生几乎没有什么好话，与其他所有老师相比，她让她的学生更加努力地学习。）可知，学生们不喜欢耶茨老师的教学风格，因为她对自己的学生几乎没有什么好话，与其他所有老师相比，她让她的学生更加努力地学习，由此可知，从第二段可以推断出许多毕业生不喜欢耶茨老师的教学方式。故选B项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中耶茨老师的话“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.”（我不能告诉你我在这里有多高兴。自从你们毕业后，我没见过你们中的很多人，但我追随你们的职业生涯，享受你们的胜利，也为你们的悲剧哭泣。我在报纸上收集了大量学生的照片。虽然我没有亲自出现，但在我的想象中，我参加过你们的大学毕业典礼、婚礼，甚至是你们孩子的出生。）可知，耶茨老师在学生毕业后仍然追踪着学生的进步，她追随着学生们的职业生涯，为学生的胜利而喜悦，也为他们的悲剧而哭泣，由此可知，我们可以从耶茨老师的演讲中了解到她追踪着学生们的进步。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中耶茨老师的话“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”（我相信，如果我尽我所能地鞭策你们，你们中的一些人会成功地取悦我，而另一些人会成功地激怒我。不管我们的动机是什么，我可以看到你们都在你们选择的道路上取得了成功。）可知，耶茨老师认为作为老师，应该尽其所能地严格要求学生，这样他们更容易在自己选择的道路上取得成功，由此可知，耶茨老师对教育青少年的信念是被严格要求的学生更容易成功。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。据第二段关键句“Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.”（许多人开始看手表，找借口去任何地方，而不是准备听一位老妇人的讲座，这位老妇人对她的学生几乎没有什么好话，与其他所有老师相比，她让她的学生更加努力地学习。）可知，耶茨老师对学生要求非常严格，由此可知，她是一个严格的人；根据第四段关键句“I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students.”（自从你们毕业后，我没见过你们中的很多人，但我追随你们的职业生涯，享受你们的胜利，也为你们的悲剧哭泣。我在报纸上收集了大量学生的照片。）可知，耶茨老师在学生毕业后仍然关注着自己的学生，由此可知，她是一个体贴的人，由此可推断出，耶茨老师是一个严格但体贴的人。故选D项。 C Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 46. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 47. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 48. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 49. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 50. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值，人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.”（任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的，既实用又美观。）以及“Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can”（艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西都做不到的。）可以看出，可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选择C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,, and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience.”（当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验，并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时，社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来。），可见通过分享经历，可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选择B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not”（研究发现，经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康;），可见参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选择D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education”（参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就）以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.”（有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。）可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.”（艺术对人类的生命至关重要，世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。）可见艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术:人类的福祉”。故选择B。 D 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,” Several 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, developing 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. 51. Which is one of the feature 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. 52. 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. 53. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun? A. It can be used to update mobile phones. B. It can be used to play mobile phone games C. It can send messages to other users D. It can talk to its developers. 54. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him. B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush 55. 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. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. B 54. D 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是在拉斯维加斯举行的国际消费电子展上展出的一种新型牙刷，这是一种既可以帮助人们刷牙又可以通过蓝牙和手机上的应用程序与手机连接起来。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.(电动牙刷可以感应您刷牙的时间和效果，并在手机上记录您的表现。)”可知，这种牙刷能够检测到你刷牙的时间和质量，所以它能够感知刷牙者刷牙的情况怎么样。故选A项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.(“这有点像让牙医每天观察你的刷牙情况，”法国发明家Thomas Serval说。)”可知，这有点像让牙医每天关注着你刷牙的情况，也就是好像是有专业牙医在指导你刷牙。故选C项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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.(牙刷还可以与手机上的其他应用程序通信，因此开发人员可以创建由牙刷控制的游戏。)”可知，创建一个能用牙刷控制的游戏可以供使用者娱乐，这样会使得牙刷很有趣。故选B项。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的主题句“Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.( Serval说，他的灵感来自他作为父亲的经历。)”可知，作者介绍自己发明这种智能牙刷的灵感，下文中介绍的是这一想法出现的细节。故选D项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“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.(他下班回家，问孩子们有没有刷牙。他们说“是的”，但塞尔瓦尔会发现他们的牙刷头干了。)”可知，作者问孩子们是否刷牙了，孩子们在没刷牙的情况下说自己刷过了，由此可推断，Serval的孩子不喜欢刷牙。故选A项。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the extreme heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the scorching heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon. 56. Why did the author have to hitch a ride? (no more than 8 words) 57. What did Gordon do to help the author? (no more than 11 words) 58. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) 59. Why did the author pull over and pick up the elderly man in 2003? (no more than 10 words) 60. Will you offer any help to a stranger who seems in trouble? Why or why not? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. Because she missed the only train back home. / Because the only train back home had left. 57. He made her sandwiches and helped her find a lift home./He gave her lunch and helped her find a lift. 58. Extreme./Intense. 59. Because she wanted to repay the favour she once got. 60. Open 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个人在25年前帮助过作者，而25年后，作者无意中的善举又帮助了他。这就是俗话说的：好心有好报。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车). (不幸的是，每天唯一一趟回悉尼家的火车已经开走了。所以我想搭个便车。) 可知，作者之所以想搭便车，是因为错过了最后一趟火车。故答Because she missed the only train back home. / Because the only train back home had left. 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. (我们到他家时，他给我们做了三明治。午饭后，他找人把我送回了家。)可知，这为好心人不但给我做了饭，还找人开车送我回家。故答He made her sandwiches and helped her find a lift home./He gave her lunch and helped her find a lift. 【58题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的heat“高温”，是个名词，前面需要一个形容词修饰，做定语；又根据第三段中I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. (我让他舒服地坐在后座上，给他一些水喝。)可推测，外面的天气是非常炎热的。故答Extreme./Intense. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. (我认为这是我报答别人几十年前对我的恩惠的又一次机会。)可知，作者对以前的得到过的帮助一直铭记在心，她想借此机会帮助别人来报答帮助过他的好人。故答Because she wanted to repay the favour she once got.。 【60题详解】 开放题。要注意回答时，先表明自己的观点，再说明原因。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是晨光中学的李津，你的同学李想写信告诉你：他的英语成绩不理想，感觉很苦恼。请你根据以下要点提示给他回信，并提出建议。 （1）学习英语的重要性；（2）合理化建议。 注意：（1）词数不少于100词；（2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Li Xiang, I’m sorry to know _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Li Xiang, I’m sorry to know that you are upset about your poor English grades.

Founded by Thomas Acton to keep alive the 19th-century farming practices he grew up with, the farm was the first of its kind and has been much copied since. Thomas’s foresight has helped to preserve many traditions that might otherwise have been lost to modern-day farming techniques. The Historic Working Farm offers an interesting insight into rural life at the turn of the 19th century, as farm life unfolds daily while the land around is worked by heavy horses. There are daily demonstrations of period skills, providing a picture of life as it might have been on a Victorian country estate. Special events and traditional craft (技艺) and trade courses to learn about the forgotten skills of the past run throughout the year. The Old School, originally built by Frances Stackhouse Acton in the late 19th century to educate children, has been recently restored and is now an attractive cafe.

Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown. 41.

Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 46. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 47. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 48. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 49. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 50. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures D 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,” Several 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, developing 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. 51. Which is one of the feature 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. 52. 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. 53. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun? A. It can be used to update mobile phones. B. It can be used to play mobile phone games C. It can send messages to other users D. It can talk to its developers. 54. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him. B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush 55. 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. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the extreme heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the scorching heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon. 56. Why did the author have to hitch a ride? (no more than 8 words) 57.
