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.

37、o talk to other applications(应用) on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush.

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.

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.

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.

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
