Reading comprehension (1%x15= 15%) A A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her and she did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one appeared. Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil(沸腾). In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The daughter impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a glass Turning to her, he asked, "Darling, what do you see?""Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell (壳), she saw the 第5页共12页 hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted it. "What does it mean, father?" she asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong and hard. But after being boiled, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile (脆弱的). Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid (液体) inside, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. "Which are you?" he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door in your life. how do you react? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? 51. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A.

A valuable lesson learned from cooking Food Ink, the World's first 3D printing restaurant, opened to a group of guests who dined on a nine-course meal prepared right before their eves using 3D printers. With London iust the beginning Food Ink plans to bring its creative restaurant idea to a number of other cities around the globe. Like other 3D applications, printing food is a process (过程) that builds layers (层) upon layers of material on top of each other. Unlike other 3D printing, which creates objects out of plastic, food materials in 3D printing are loaded into a syringe-like (注射器一样的) container which are then pressed into the shape required. Any food that can be pureed (研磨成糊) can be used in 3D food printing. 第6 页共12页 Fine dining is only one aspect of the food industry about to be completely changed by 3D printing. Researchers have been exploring ways to fight world hunger with 3D printing. Using powdered nutritional (营养的) materials, it could produce large amounts of food to help feed a growing population. This is especially important with the world population predicted to be 8.5 billion by 2o30. The 3D-printed food would also have the advantage of being produced cheaply and having a long shelf life (保存期限) The technology will enable consumers to guickly make meals to suit their specifichealth needs Take the example of feeding elderly people, who often need to have their food pureed because they have trouble with swallowing (吞咽) and chewing (咀嚼). Many of them did not like food like this and so it discouraged them from eating, which can result in poor nutrition and medical issues. The Netherlands Organization is turning to 3D printing to produce 3D-printed vegetables to hold theit shape. It seems that there is no end to the possible development of 3D printing. From creating specia restaurant meals, to improving nutrition, to feeding the world. 3D food printing is creating exciting new possibilities for food 56. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To show the restaurant's creativity B. To tell the restaurant's future plan C. To recommend a 3D printing restaurant. D. To introduce the topic of 3D food printing 57. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of 3D-printed food? A.Lowcost. B. Extra safety. C. Longer shelf life. D. Mass(大量的)production 58. What does "food like this" in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Hard food B. Pureed food. C. Nutritional food D. Healthy food 59. Which of the following is CORRECT according to the text? A. Any food can be used in 3D food printing B. Food Ink plans are popular around the world C. 3D-printed food is only for the elderly D. 3D food printing brings new possibilities for food 60. What is the author's attitude towards the future of 3D food printing? C.Unclear. B.Negative. A. Positive. D.Neutral(中立的). C During these years, experiments (实验) examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose much less weight than expected, considering how many extra calories they are burning with their exercise. Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light (红外线) to track(追 踪) mice's 第7 页共12页 movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to study their daily physical activty. So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice walk around for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information abou how many calories each mouse burned every day. Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run as much as they want At first, the mice, which enjoyed running, jumped quickly on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following rise in energy expenditure (消耗) since they had added exercise to their lives But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved the. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or walked around in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, shortly walked, and it repeated. These changes in how they spen their time almost counteracted (抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, whc led the new study. What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. "But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time: wheel running is not painful for mice, and does not fill their waking hours." Dr. Lark says.Instead, he says, "It is likely that the animals' brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down and save energy." Mice will never be people, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to(应用于) us. But the results do show that if we hope to lose more weight, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we exercise more 61. How did the researchers track the mice's movements in the cages? A. By watching the mice. B. By putting some wheels inside the cages C. By using infrared light and software. D. By putting a tracker on the mice's legs. 62. In fact, the mice in the experiment did not change A. how long they ran B. how they moved C. how much food they ate D. how they spent their time 63. What happened after the scientists unlocked the wheels? A.The mice ate more. B. The mice didn't like running on the wheels C. The mice kept running D. The mice spent less time walking around 64. Which of the following does Dr. Lark probably agree with? A. Wheel running takes mice as much energy as walking around B.The mice ran more because they wanted to lose weight C.The experiment is a failure because the results can't apply to humans D. The mice ran less not because of the tiredness 65. What's the author's purpose of writing this text? 第8页共12页 A.To tell the public a recent research on exercise and weight loss B.To explain that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong. C. To show how wheel running changes mice's movements. D. To explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers 卷II主观题(满分45分) Please write the answers on the answer sheet (请将此卷答案写在答卷纸上。) V.Vocabulary A. Complete each sentence with proper words.
