分析 本文是一篇说明文.题材为发明与技术,向我们介绍了牙刷的诞生历史,让我们对牙刷有了更详细的了解.两个加拿大人发明了一种新的牙刷,文章进行了描述,你对这种新型的不用手的牙刷有什么感受?
解答 16.C考察连词.so表示因果,意为"因此";then表示承接;意为"然后";but表示转折,意为"但是";or表示选择,意为"或者".句中,据BBC报道,古埃及人使用过一种牙膏,后一句说埃及人用手指当做牙刷来清洁牙齿.常理推断,能发明出牙膏的古埃及人应该能发明出牙刷,但是他们却用手指来刷牙,可知是转折关系,故答案为C项.
17.A考察连词词组.instead of 代替;because of 因为;more than 多于;less than 少于.由句意可知埃及人用手指而不是牙刷来清洁牙齿.故答案为A.
18.D考察动词.句意:中国人可能在大概公元前1600年发明了第一只牙刷.由空格处后的the first toothbrush可推断出是"发明",discover发 现,develop 发展,build 建立,invent 发明.
19.B考察名词.science科学;history历史.problem问题;secret秘密.由下句可知现在可能可以不用手(拿牙刷) 来清洁我们的牙齿. 故我们的牙刷也许也会成为历史.
20.C考察介词.结合上下句,你的牙刷可能会成为历史,因为可能刷牙的时候不需要我们的手了.并由下段内容可知两位加拿大人发明了一种不用手的T2T牙刷,故答案为表否定的介词without.
21.D考察不定代词.nothing没有东西;everything每个东西;anything任何东西;something某些东西.根据句意可知加拿大人发明了一种名叫T2T的东西,故 something (某物) 符合题意.
22.B考察连词.until直到;when当…时;since自…以来;though尽管.结合句意,当他工作一整天后正开车回家的时候,他忽然想到一个好主意.由设空处后的he was driving…可知应用when,表示"当 时候".
23.A考察名词.idea想法,story故事,word单词,plan计划.上句提到,他忽然想到一个好主意,结合本句,他的主意是一个在你舌头上的牙刷.可知答案为A.
24.C考察动词.hold保持;pull推;move移动;check核查.由句意可知,T2T有特殊的边缘和牙膏,所以你只需要在你的牙齿上移动你的舌头就像在刷牙一样.移动舌头,move移动,故选C.
25.B考察动词.does代替前面的动词短语cleans your teeth.
26.A考察形容词.healthier更健康的,easier更容易的,harder更难的,longer更长的.根据上下文,他们发明这种不需要用手的牙刷因为他们认为这一种更健康的方式来清洁牙齿.可知答案为A项.
27.C考察副词.again再次;soon不久;once一次;already已经.根据句意,这种话方便的牙刷虽然好用,但是人们只能用T2T-次.根据only 和but可以知道这种牙刷的确定是只能使用一次.所以选A,once-次.
28.B考察动词.tell告诉;ask问;warn敬告;advise建议.由下文中的Sixty-one percent said…可知,赫芬顿邮报询冋了读者的想法,百分之61的人说他们可能会使用.故答案为B.
29.C考察情态动词.前半句中提到Sixty-one percent said that they would use it,句中使用了情态动词would,由句中的while (然而) 可知前后句之间是对比关系,故后半句也用情态动词would的否定形式.故答案为C项.
30.B考察名词.根据句意:我个人认为我将坚持用牙刷!可以得知,作者仍然坚持刷牙还是用牙刷比较好.根据句意可知答案为B.
点评 要做好此类题型,不仅要具备一定的词法、句法和惯用法等语法知识,而且还要具备阅读理解能力、综合分析能力和运用语言知识的实践能力.首先通读全文,掌握大意,要结合句意,根据语法要求,结合语境推测适当的单词.

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge.
You may think you're not very (64)good at some school subjects or you can hardly become a writer.These kinds of (65)thoughts prevent you from reaching your dream,the book says.
In fact,everyone can make his dream come true.The first thing you must do is to remember the dream in your mind.Don't let it leave your heart.Keep (66)telling yourself what you want.Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is (67)made up of many small ones.Please never give (68)themup.
There will be difficulties(69)onthe way to your dreams.(70)Butthe biggest one comes from yourself.You need to decide what is the most important.Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
