26、There's a new frontier in 3D printing that's beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn't stopping there.

Food production

With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that---it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to" re-create forms and pieces" of food that are" exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.

Sustainability(可持续性)

The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids( 水解胶体)from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原 料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.

Nutrition

Future  3D  food  printers  could  make  processed  food  healthier.  Hod  Lipson,  a professor at Columbia University, said, "Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday 's bread from the supermarket, you' d eat something baked just for you on demand."

Challenges

Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing，the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste( 糊状物)before a printer  can  use  them,  and  the  printing  process  is  quite  time-consuming,  because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients，because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are doubtful about food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.

【1】What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?

A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.

B. It saves time and effort in cooking.

C. It improves the cooking conditions.

D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.

【2】What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraph 3?

A. It solves food shortages easily.

B. It quickens the transportation of food.

C. It needs no space for the storage of food.

D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.

【3】What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?

A. The printing process is complicated.

B. 3D food printers are too expensive.

C. Food materials have to be dried.

D. Some experts doubt 3D food printing.

【4】What could be the best title of the passage?

A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology

B. A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing

C. The Challenges for 3D Food Production

D. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table

27、Christmas, which falls on Dec 25 every years, is the most important festival in the West.

During Christmas, a big fat man in a red suit usually takes center stage. His name is Santa Claus.

He lives in the North Pole and sends presents to children in a magic sled(雪橇)that is pulled by flying reindeer(驯鹿).

It sounds crazy, but Santa Claus is very popular. Small children around the world even leave food out for Santa and his reindeer on the night before Christmas. When they wake up in the morning, some of the food is eaten and there are presents under the Christmas tree.

As you grow older you learn that Santa is not real and it is in fact just your parents. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I figured it out for myself. But that doesn’t stop people celebrating Christmas in the same way.

So where did Santa Claus come from? Santa was actually a real man called Saint Nicholas, which sounds very similar to Santa Claus. He was born about 2,000 years ago in the Roman Empire(罗马帝国). He was a  very kind priest(神父)who would travel the country to help people, giving gifts late at night. He did not like to be seen giving gifts, so children were encouraged to go to sleep quickly. Nothing has changed today, with Santa Claus not visiting until all the children are asleep.

The United States version(版本)of Santa Claus was started when Dutch settlers(荷兰移民)arrived about 400 years ago. They called him Sinter Klass and that was slowly changed to Santa Claus over the years. Once big companies like Coca Cola began t o use Santa Claus in their advertisements, he quickly became a symbol of Christmas.

【1】Which of the following about Santa Claus is NOT true according to the traditional story?

A. He is very popular during Christmas   B. He lives in the North Pole

C. He sends presents to kids in a sled   D. He is a poor man with no food to eat

【2】When he knew the fact about Santa, the writer ________.

A. didn’t believe his parents   B. didn’t enjoy Christmas anymore

C. still celebrated Christmas   D. celebrated Christmas in a different way

【3】What do we know about Saint Nicholas?

a. He was born in the Roman Empire

b. He was a very kind priest

c. He used gifts to make kids go to sleep quickly

d. He asked Santa Claus to do his job for him

A. ab   B. ac

C. bc   D. bd

【4】What does the last paragraph talk about?

A. The United States version of Santa Claus

B. How US people celebrate Christmas

C. History of the United States

D. Coca Cola and Santa Claus

29、One concern I keep hearing from potential gym goers is the age barrier (障碍). Many men and women thinking about a personal fitness plan sometimes worry that “I’m too old to start exercising,” or “going to the gym is something for younger people, not me”. This brings up a big question for potential gym-goers: How old is too old? Is there an age requirement at the front door that keeps everyone over the age of 39 out?

A friend of mine was talking about her father who experienced a major lifestyle change late in life, and it reminds me of just how little age really matters when we want to start an active lifestyle. We’ll call her father Rob.

Rob lived an active lifestyle in his earlier years. Even in his mid-70s, Rob was still walking the golf course three to five times a week, actively playing tennis, and traveling abroad whenever he had the chance.

During his travels, Rob had an accident, falling down a set of stone stairs in Istanbul and tearing up both of his knees. He had an emergency surgery and experienced months of physical therapy (疗法), but was told that as a man heading into his 80s, he would never be able to walk unassisted again. However, after months of relying on others for transportation, Rob decided to do something about his condition, old age or not.

Rob started going to the gym, worked with a personal trainer, and set a realistic goal for his future: to walk around the block without a walking stick. For someone who could walk 18 holes in an afternoon, a block might seem insignificant, but Rob knew he had to start somewhere. He began leg exercises, started a healthy diet, and kept at his scheduled workouts.

It paid off. Today, Rob is walking around the neighborhood unassisted, playing golf, and traveling up and down the coast. Rob still has a lot of progress in his future, but he is already miles ahead of where he started.

【1】What does the underlined word “potential” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Passive.

B．Serious.

C．Possible

D．Energetic

【2】What did Rob do to make a full recovery?

A．He ate more food than before.

B．He often walked the golf course.

C．He turned to a gym coach for help.

D．He set a long-term goal for training.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Rob?

A．Helpful and grateful.

B．Tough and determined.

C．Capable and talented.

D．Creative and independent.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us in the text?

A．No pains, no gains.

B．Age is not a barrier.

C．Never give up hope.

D．Well begun is half done.

30、   It was my first day at school. I was half-excited and _________. On my way to school I _________ what questions other boys would ask me and practiced all the _________. I also considered if it was the _________ for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to _________ it.

There were fifty boys in the class, so I didn't _________ there until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones, my teacher, first asked several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace, but no one _________ right. A boy named Brian said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn't make me very _________, of course.

“He thinks he's clever,” I heard Brian say.

After that, we went out to the _________ to play football. I was in Brian's team, and he __________ had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.

“He's big enough and useless enough,” Brian said.

When the game was nearly over. Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and they got a penalty（点球）. As the boy __________ the ball hard along the ground to my right, I __________ myself down instinctively（本能地）and __________ it. All my team crowded round me. My knees were bleeding. Brian took out a __________ and offered it to me.
