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 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 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.

The report from the European Commission followed a call by EU lawmakers in July for a total ban on food derived from cloned animals and their traditionally bred offspring，citing ethical concerns over the industrial production of cloned meat. The Commission said a temporary fiveyear EU ban on cloning for food production was justified on animal welfare grounds，but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade. “Food from cloned animals is safe.In fact，the scientific opinion is that it cannot be differentiated in any way from food from normally bred animals.The issue is animal welfare”， EU Health and Consumer Commissioner John Dalli told reporters. Food derived from the offspring of clones presents no such animal welfare issues，and banning 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 its sale and import would be impossible because the origin is untraceable，Dalli said. “Such a prohibition would lead to a ban of imports of any food of animal origin (meat，milk and processed products) from third countries allowing the cloning technique，”the report said. “We're not going to regulate for the world，”Dalli added. But animal welfare groups criticized the Commission's decision，saying it had bowed to pressure from third countries. “We do not accept the Commission's position that it would be impossible to enforce a ban that includes the offspring of cloned animals，as (other) meat traceability systems are already in place，”said Sonja Van Tichelen，director of the Eurogroup for Animals. 【语篇解读】 欧盟委员会近日宣布，欧盟在今后 5 年暂停将克隆动物用于食品生产，但是克隆动物通过 传统方式繁殖的后代用于食品生产和销售不在禁止之列。这一决议受到动物保护者们的谴责。 20．From the passage we can infer that the ban is________. A．justified B．welcome C．controversial D．meaningless 答案 C [推理判断题。文章首先介绍了该禁令的内容及产生的背景，最后两段又介绍了动物保护者们对该 禁令的异议，由此可以推断，人们对这一禁令是有争议的(controversial)。justified“合乎情理的”； welcome“受欢迎的”；meaningless“没有意义的”。] 21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The ban is permanent. B．The imports of food from the offspring of clones are not banned. C．Animal welfare groups support the ban. D．The ban has been put into effect. 答案 B [细节理解题。由第一段可知这一禁令是暂时的，且不禁止进口克隆动物的后代制成的食品，该决 议目前仍在计划中，因此 B 项正确，A、D 项错误。由倒数第二段可知动物保护者并不支持该禁令，故 C 项 错误。] 22．Which of the following is the reason for Commission's decision on the ban according to animal welfare groups? A．The origin of food derived from the offspring of clones is untraceable. B．Food from cloned animals is safe. C．The issue is for animal welfare. D．The pressure comes from third countries. 答案 D [推理判断题。由倒数第二段可知动物保护者们认为欧盟委员会是迫于第三世界国家的压力才决定 实施这一禁令的，故选 D。] 23．What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A．The plans of the European Union. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 B．A temporary fiveyear EU ban. C．The EU proposes a ban on animal cloning for food. D．The danger of food derived from cloned animals. 答案 C [标题概括题。本文主要介绍了欧盟宣布将就克隆食品提出一项立法建议，故 C 项最能概括全文。] 24．The text is most probably a________. A．news report B．book review C．newspaper ad D．sciencefiction story 答案 A [文章出处题。通读全文可以看出，本文主要介绍了欧盟的一个决议，以及人们对此的不同看法， 故最可能是一篇新闻报道，由此可以看出 A 项正确。] [时闻型阅读理解]-----(一) LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences. It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors —which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia. McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London. “Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people，” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret， nor shame，nor any sense of guilt.” The detectors，sold for up to $42，000 each，were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use. McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong，the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand. “I never had any bad results from customers，” he said. 1．Why was McCormick sentenced to prison? A．He sold bombs. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 B．He caused death of people. C．He made detectors. D．He cheated in business. 2．According to the judge, what McCormick had done ________. A. increased the cost of safeguarding B. lowered people's guard against danger C. changed people's idea of social security D. caused innocent people to commit crimes 3．McCormick sold his detectors to the following countries EXCEPT________． A. Egypt B．Kenya C. Thailand D．Korea 4．Which of the following is TRUE of the detectors? A. They have not been sold to Africa. B. They have caused many serious problems. C. They can find dangerous objects in water. D. They don't function on the basis of science. 5．It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick ________． A. sold the equipment at a low price B. was wellknown in most countries C. did not think he had committed the crime D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text (一) 【要点综述】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章叙述了英国法官审判了一位商人，他有出售假冒炸弹探测器的犯罪 行为。但这名犯罪嫌疑人根本没有意识到他的行为给社会带来的危害。 1．D 细节理解题。根据第一段“A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison…”以及“McCormick, 57, was convicted (判 罪) of cheats last month…”可知，McCormick 被判处欺诈罪。故可以判断选 D。 2．B 推理判断题。根据第四段“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people…”可知选 B。 3．D 细节理解题。由倒数第二段可得出答案。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 4．D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But in fact they ‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use.”可知，事实上它们“没有任何科学根据”，是没有用的。可以判断选 D。 5．C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.”及最后一段可知，麦考密克曾在法庭上说，他出售自己的探测器给肯尼亚警察、香港监狱、埃 及的军队和泰国的边境管制处， 而且他从来没有从客户那里听到任何不好的结果。故可以推断出他根本没 有认识到他的罪行。故选 C。
