I looked through my suitcase but couldn't find anything to wear. I was lucky to be at the technology conference then, and I had access to 3D printers. So I quickly designed a skirt on my computer, and I loaded the file on the printer. It just printed the pieces overnight. The next morning, I just took all the pieces, assembled them together in my hotel room, and this is actually the skirt that I'm wearing right now.‎ It wasn't the first time that I had printed clothes. For my senior collection at fashion design school, I decided to try and 3D print an entire fashion collection from my home. The problem was that I hardly knew anything about 3D printing, and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five fashionable looks. I always felt most creative when I worked from home. I loved experimenting with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the most unique textiles for my fashion projects.‎ One summer break, I came here to New York to do practice at a fashion house in Chinatown. We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed. They were amazing. But I had a few problems with them. They were made from hard plastics and that's why they broke easily. The models couldn't sit in them, and they even got hurt from the plastics under their arms. So now the main challenge was to find the right material for printing clothes with. I mean the material you feed the printer with.‎ The breakthrough came when I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind of printing material. It's strong, yet very flexible. And with it, I was able to print the first garment, a red jacket that had the word "freedom" printed into it. And actually, you can easily download this jacket, and change the word to something else, for example, your name or your sweetheart's name. So I think in the future, materials will be better, and they will look and feel like fabrics we know today, like cotton or silk. 24. What does the writer mean by mentioning the skirt she is wearing now?‎ A. It is not easily breakable.    B. It represents the latest style. ‎ C. It came from a 3D printer. D.

I always used to go into stores and just buy things without thinking about it and it bothered me.‎ ‎ I learned from my year of no shopping. But in 2012, I noticed I had replaced this addiction with another-buying useless things on the internet. I would look at pictures of nice things on websites, and before I knew it, I would have wasted an hour looking at and sometimes buying ‎ things I didn’t need. So I stopped shopping again. This time, instead of buying the things I wanted, I drew them on the paper.‎ ‎ It was exciting to realize that there is nothing wrong with liking beautiful things. In fact, it’s hard not to like beautiful things in a world that’s filled with them, in a world that’s good at showing you the kind of beautiful thing you most want, and in a world where people try to make you want beautiful things. Why did I feel bad about wanting to shop?‎ ‎ At the same time, I was beginning to learn of fast fashion’s effects on the world. Besides all the money I was spending, I thought of the damage that was being done to the environment, as well as all the hard work that people do to the things I buy. Just by looking at a pretty dress in a window, I somehow felt part of all this.‎ Drawing the things I want makes me feel less guilty and doesn’t make me want to buy things that I don’t need any longer. But you don’t have to draw the things you want to stop you from buying them. It also works to take some time to stop and think about why you want that shiny new thing.‎ ‎28. The author stopped shopping again because_______.‎ A. she had become addicted to buying things online B. she was bothered that she was spending too much C. she wasted too much time comparing online goods D. she spent too much time looking in stores 29. What can we learn from paragraph 3?‎ A. It’s natural to love things.‎ B. She should feel guilty of loving beautiful things.‎ C. If more people stopped shopping, less will be produced.‎ D. Producers are taking advantage of her desire for beautiful things.‎ 30. In the last paragraph, the author suggests we should________.‎ A. not feel guilty about shopping B. talk about the things we want to buy C. reflect on what causes our desire to buy something D. think of the harmful effects on the environment before we buy anything ‎31. What is the main purpose of the article?‎ A. To show how much shopping addiction costs.‎ B. To explain the damage shopping does to the planet.‎ C. To share the author’s story of why she stopped shopping.‎ D. To explain why people should feel guilty about wanting to shop.‎ D ‎ Barbara McClintock (1902-1992) was one of the most important scientists of the 20 th century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes(染色体).‎ Barbara McClintock studied science at Cornell University, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students (本科生) to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she found that few college students wanted to study genetics. ‎ She decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master's degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.‎ She stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the Great Economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. ‎ For years, scientists had been using x-rays to study genetic materials in plants and other organisms. They found that x-rays caused genes to change. Sometimes, the x-rays physically broke the chromosomes. Genetic researchers looked for changes in the organism. Then they used this information to produce a map linking the changes to a single area of the chromosome.‎ ‎ An old friend invited her to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research center near New York City. Soon McClintock accepted a perpetual position with the laboratory. This gave her the forever freedom to continue her genetic research without having to teach or repeatedly asking for financial aid.‎ ‎ By the1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. She won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of ‎ the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.‎ ‎32. McClintock got a doctorate degree in___.‎ A. 1925 B. 1927 C. 1931 D. 1941‎ ‎33. In the middle of the Great Economic Depression in the US, _______.‎ A. male scientists were out of work ‎ B. male scientists were in great demand C. scientists were not in great demand at all D. young female scientists might have trouble finding a job ‎34. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 6 mean?‎ A. permanent. B. difficult. C. useful. D. easy.‎ ‎35. Why was McClintock awarded a Nobel Prize?‎ A. Because she received a degree in genes and chromosomes.‎ B. Because she made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes. ‎ C. Because she was the first American woman that studied genes and chromosomes.‎ D. Because she contributed to the development of cancer research.‎ 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Speaking to Develop Self-confidence Overcoming stage fright Most people are nervous about public speaking. 36 If you know that your topic is interesting, and that your material is well organized, you have already reduced a major worry.‎ Facial expressions ‎ ‎ 37 During your speech try to change your facial expressions to convey the emotions that you feel.

If you have a large audience, try to look at people in the middle of the room, then slowly look to the right side of the room, then ‎ to the left side, then back to the center of the room. 38 Otherwise, this will give the audience the idea that you are not interested in your topic or in them.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ Enthusiasm is being lively and showing your own personal concern for your subject and your audience. If you are truly interested in your topic, your speech is certain to be enthusiastic and lively.‎ Varying speaking rate Your words should not be too fast or too slow.

For example, if you explain complex information, slow down. 40 ‎ A. Inspiring your audience B. Speaking with enthusiasm C. If you are happy or enthusiastic, you should speed up.‎ D.
