閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

I am a vegetarian（素食主義者）．Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior．I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it．But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian．

Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives．There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases．From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet．While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed．

The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily．Creativity is almost as important as commitment．It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad． But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly．

Not everyone wants to be vegetarian．Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style．Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful．Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts．

Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others．A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change．It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation．However, it fades over time．Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian．That’s why it is vital to be educated． Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白質）your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect．People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet．Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial．It leads to diseases．Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs．However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin．

1.According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______．

A． protect the wildlife

B． free people from diseases

C． rid people from strange behaviors

D． develop a better economy

2.What’s the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?

C． Great consumption D． Significant importance

3.Stylish vegetarians do not ______．

A． force others to be vegetarians

B． respect other people’s beliefs

C． turn down hosts gracefully

D． refuse an offer of meat

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A． Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition．

B． Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition．

C． Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful．

D． Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy．

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A． Reasons why the author became a vegetarian．

B． Important qualities required to be a vegetarian．

C． Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian．

D． Common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian．

Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.

Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.

The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD（computer aided design）file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.

There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs（四肢）, we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.

Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 （767,594 yuan） developing a “3-D pizza printer”.

It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs

B. describe the characters of 3-D printing

C. picture a future life with 3-D printing

D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives

2.Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.

A. isn’t practical in daily life

B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners

C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers

D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs

3.We can infer from the article that ________.

A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing

B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones

C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry

D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. What is 3-D printing?

B. A new technology-3-D printing.

C. How to use 3-D printing?

D. The development of 3-D printing.
