4．See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao？Forget about placing an order，paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you．In the near future，you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting"print"on your computer．
　  You might find it hard to believe that you could actually"print"an object like you would a picture．But it is not that hard to understand how it would work．Just as a traditional printer sprays （噴） ink onto paper line by line，modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape．
　  Instead of ink，the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic，resin（樹脂） and certain metals．The thinner each layer is-from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be．
　  This may sound like a completely new technology，but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s．Back then，it was barely affordable for most people，so few knew about it．
    Last year，though，saw a big change in the 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaper．For example，10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost￡20，000，while now they cost only about￡1，000，accordin g to the BBC．
    Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses，3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes （笛子），bikinis，jewelry，aircraft parts and even human organs．In fact，scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer，according to Science Daily．The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one．
    However，as 3D printing becomes more common，it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy．"Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3D printer，who will visit a retail （零售的） store again？"an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News．Even more frightening，what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun？
32．According to the article，in the future，the 3D printing technology willB．
A．enable people to make better purchases online
B．change the way we make many products
C．be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D．shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
33．What happened in the 3D printing industry last year？D
A．The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory．
B．The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields．
C．The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time．
D．The 3D printer became more afforda ble for consumers．
34．How is the last paragraph developed？A
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By analyzing the cause and effect．
D．By presenting research findings．
35．What is the best title of the passage？D
A．Great Demand for 3D Printers　　         
B．Technology in the Future
C．Online Shopping Disappearing　　         
D．Printing out Everything．

分析 本文主要講述的就是3D打印機在未來的廣泛使用，能夠改變很多做事的方式方法．

9．Recently I had a conversation with a friend who has a long-term goal that will take several years to achieve．He seemed overwhelmed by the size of the goal and was getting discouraged．It let me remember the story of the clock that had been running and running．
One day，the clock began to think about how many times it had to stick each year．It counted the seconds up and found it would have to stick 31，536，000 times a year．The clock was overwhelmed．It said to itself，"I can't do it．That's too much．"So it stops sticking．Then someone told it that it didn't need to do it all at once，but one tick each time．The clock then realized that was okay and started ticking happily again．
When we set our goals，it's good to think about the final results．But getting to a goal is doing a little bit every day，not doing it all at once．So next time you find yourself to overwhelmed by your goal，remember the clock and the number of ticks-do a little bit every day and you will reach your goal．
On the other hand，if you always focus on achieving your goals，you will only train yourself to go from one goal to the next without coming up for air．You need to introduce a littlebalance into your life．Do some activities that have nothing to do with your goals，like finding a new park to walk through，discovering a new route to run，or picking a great novel to read．Give yourself time to relax and don't miss out on the pleasure of life．
28．What was the problem of the author's friend？C
A．He had no life goals．
B．He set a wrong goal．
C．He worried too much about his goal．
D．His goal was too big to achieve by himself．

A．The result doesn't matter as long as we make efforts．
B．We shouldn't focus on it all the time．
C．We will give up if it is too big．
D．It's necessary to take advice．
30．The underlined word"balance"in the last paragraph refers toC．
A．A short-term goal                       
B．The pleasure of reaching a goal
C．Activities that free you from a goal        
D．Ways that help you reach your goal soon
31．What can be used as the best title for the passage？D

16．Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast？Recently a test was given in the United States．Those tested included people of different ages，from 12 to 83．During the experiment，these people were given all kinds of breakfasts，and sometimes they got no breakfast at all．Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast．The results showed that if a person eats a proper breakfast，he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains．If a student eats fruit，eggs，bread and milk before going to school，he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class．Contrary to what many people believe，if you don't eat breakfast，you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch，and end up gaining some weight instead of losing some．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals．
21．During the test，those who were tested were givenD．
A．no breakfast at all

13．Tea farmers in Kenya are suffering because of low prices for their crop this year．So they have exchanged their tea bushes for a healthy new"purple tea"that they hope ill sell for a higher price．But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried．Nelson Kibara is one of them．He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profits．He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive．
Mr．Kibara ad hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya．Its leaves are purple and brown．When the tea is boiled，the drink has a purple color．Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea．They say it is healthier than black tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of black tea．
But Mr．Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop．He says the market for the tea is unstable（不穩(wěn)定的） and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves．He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea than black tea．
Stephen Mutembei works at the Tea Research Foundation．He says farmers quickly changed from growing black tea to growing purple tea．But he also blames tea leave processors for not making changes more quickly．
But Mr．Mutembei says purple tea is an importnt crop for the country and its tea farmers．He says Kenya needs to find new products like purple tea to help its tea industry become more stable．Tea is the country's top crop．Mr．Mutembei says the country's economy is too closely linked to the changing price of black tea．He says tea buyers and drinkers must be persuaded that they should pay more for purple tea than black tea．
"Because farmers，they have planted already，you cannot tell them to uproot．At this level we should not just say‘we don't have a market'forever．We should be doing something to find a good market．"
21．What can we learn about the purple tea？C
A．It is as cheap and healthy as the black tea．
B．It can make the drink brown when boiled．
C．It has been planted in some areas of Kenya．
D．It as helped some kenyan farmers earn a lot of money．
22．What does the author want to tell us in Paragarph3？B
A．The purple tea sells well in the market．
B．The market for purple tea in kenya needs to be developed．
C．The price of the purple tea is lower than the green tea．
D．The purple tea is becoming popular with Kenyan people．
23．What is Stephen Mutembei's attitude towards the purple tea？A
A．Favorable．
B．Uncaring．
C．Doubtful
D．critical
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？D
A．Different Kinds of Tea in Kenya

14．Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，"My spoken English is poor．"（36）E．I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary．（37）C．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
（38）F．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However，in speaking your aim is fluency．You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter． （39）A．
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor． （40）D．

A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time．
C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．
D．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
E．However，their spoken English does not have to remain"poor"!F．Second，they are afraid of making mistakes．
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned．
