Gahriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
25. What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?
A. Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B. They were always refusing to follow her directions.
C. Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
D. They looked down upon her because she was a female.
26. What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?
A. Independent thinking and mild character. B. Competitive spirit and mild character.
C. Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior. D. Active participation and creative thinking.
27. Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?
A. Bossy and rude. B. Flexible and communicative.
C. King but stubborn. D. Strict but trustworthy.
28. What can we learn from Gabriela’s story?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
【答案】25. C 26. A 27. B 28. B
【解析】

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. (尽管他们很友好,但加布里埃拉并不觉得自己是一个受尊重的领导者。她的新员工会在会议上公开质疑她的建议,当她给他们指示如何执行任务时,他们往往会按照自己的方式行事,而不征求她的意见。)”可知,加布里埃拉一开始觉得在瑞典团队里自己的领导权威被挑衅。故选C。
【26题详解】

Part of a research study, by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.
The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period. Following their workouts, study participants drank either two cups of skim milk, or a soy beverage with equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.
Upon the study's conclusion, scientists observed that: the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fat—two pounds—as those in the carbohydrate beverage group, who lost one pound of fat. Those drinking soy beverages lost no fat. At the same time, the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.
As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.
"I think the evidence is beginning to increase," says Stuart Phillips—the leader of the study. "Milk may be best known for its calcium content in supporting bone health, but our research, and later others', can continually support milk's ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal post workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike."
29. How many days did the participants lift weights in the program?
A. 56 days. B. 84 days. C. 60 days. D. 12 days.
30. What does the underlined word "beverage" probably mean?
A. A kind of medicine. B. A sort of drink.
C. A type of exercise. D. A piece of equipment.
31. According to the passage, we can know that
A. the scientists chose people aged 18, 30 and 56 as participants of the research
B. a soy beverage is a proper choice for losing weight over the long term
C. people who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than others
D. soy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle
32. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What exercisers should do to lose weight.
B. How milk influences people's health and figure.
C. The differences between milk and soy or carbohydrate beverages.
D. A research about the effect of drinking milk on exercisers.
【答案】29. C 30. B 31. D 32. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项对做运动的人喝牛奶的最新研究成果,实验证明做运动的人喝脱脂牛奶可以增加肌肉和减肥。文章主要介绍了这项研究的开展过程和研究发现。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period.(科学家们选取了三组年龄在18到30岁之间,总共56人的年轻男性,让他们在12周的时间里,每周进行5天的严格的举重训练)”可知,在这个项目中,参与者举重12×5=60天。故选C。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“study participants drank either two cups of skim milk”以及后文“with equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.”可知,为了对比差异,在研究参与者锻炼之后,他们要喝两杯脱脂牛奶,或一份含有等量蛋白质和能量的大豆饮料,或一份含有等量能量的碳水化合物饮料。画线词意思为“一种饮料”。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.(研究的第一阶段发表的结果显示,喝牛奶的那组人在肌肉增重方面名列榜首,他们的肌肉量比喝大豆饮料的那组人估计多40%或2.5磅。此外,这组人比喝碳水化合物饮料的人增加了63%或3.3磅的肌肉质量)”可知,喝牛奶的比喝大豆的增加了40%肌肉,喝牛奶的又比喝碳水化合物的增加了63%肌肉,由此可知,喝大豆饮料的比喝碳水化合物的增加的肌肉多。即,大豆饮料比碳水化合物饮料更适合锻炼者增加肌肉。故选D。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Part of a research study, by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.(麦克马斯特大学的科学家正在进行一项研究,研究举重后喝牛奶的影响。研究发现,牛奶有助于锻炼者燃烧更多脂肪)”结合文章说明了一项对做运动的人喝牛奶的最新研究成果,实验证明做运动的人喝脱脂牛奶可以增加肌肉和减肥。文章主要介绍了这项研究的开展过程和研究发现。可知,这篇文章主要讲了一项关于喝牛奶对锻炼者影响的研究。故选D。
D
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
33. Why is the question raised in paragraph 1?
A. To ask readers for their answers. B. To show the author’s curiosity.
C. To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To introduce the topic of the passage.
34. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient.
C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient.
35. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs.
C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food.
36. What can we infer from the passage?
A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B. 3D printing food can treat dysphagia.
C. 3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D. 3D food printing would be a failure.
37. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen.
B. Can 3D Printing Create Everything?
C. 3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion!
D. The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing.
【答案】33. D 34. B 35. B 36. C 37. A
【解析】

This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.(科学家说这很简单:你只需要选择一个食谱,然后把生的食物“墨水”放进打印机。你也可以修改说明,使食物完全符合你的要求。这意味着它将非常快速和容易地制作美味和营养的膳食。)”可知,3D食品打印是容易且高效的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food.(然而,一些人认为3D食品打印的未来将是一场灾难。它会带走很多工作岗位,包括种植、运输和包装食品的工作岗位。)”可知,一些人认为3D食品打印是一场灾难,因为3D食品打印会使得很多人失去工作。故选B项。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.(更重要的是,与家人和朋友一起做饭和吃饭一直是一种传统和令人愉快的活动。很难想象,在这样一个世界里,烹饪的乐趣已不复存在,只需按一下按钮就能创造出饭菜。)”推知,3D食品打印会损害我们的饮食文化传统。故选C项。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.(一些科学家正试图通过这样做来彻底改变用餐体验。他们希望厨房里的3D打印机能像微波炉或搅拌机一样普及。)”及全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了3D食品打印技术和它带来的好处及一些人对于该项发明的看法,所以A选项A.3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen. (3D食物“打印”:走进厨房)符合本文大意,适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。

Back-to-school shopping is an expensive business in a normal year. And with August upon us, stores are putting out back-to-school displays expecting the arrival of children and their parents.___38___.
Shop for the short term
If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that careful budget works. ___39___ Do not buy too much at the moment. Plan to add those purchases as the semester unfolds. You may find that some items get less expensive as the seasons change.
___40___
Price matching involves comparing the same items at other stores and asking a retailer (零售商) to match a lower price. The trick may make sense for clothing, electronics and other expensive items. Check a retailer’s website for its price matching policy details. Many will also refund the price difference if you spot a cheaper price within a certain time frame after the purchase.
Team up to buy in bulk (大批地)
___41___. So by teaming up with other parents, you can purchase things like hand sanitizer (洗手液) and supplies for homework and note-taking in bulk. If your child’s teacher is unwilling to give out parents’ contact information, ask if he/she would send out yours in a group email so other parents can reach you if they’re interested in group savings.
Shop on tax-free holidays

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向家长介绍了在孩子返校前购物的一些省钱方法。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Back-to-school shopping is an expensive business in a normal year. And with August upon us, stores are putting out back-to-school displays expecting the arrival of children and their parents.(在正常的一年里,返校购物是一笔昂贵的生意。随着8月的到来,商店纷纷推出返校展示,期待着孩子们和他们的父母的到来。)”和下文的段落小标题,可知,返校前采购学习用品花费不菲,后又提到八月在即,商家将返校用品陈列出来等着孩子和家长的到来,空处承上启下,说明要介绍一些购物省钱的方法。F项:Here are some ways of how to save money on back-to-school shopping.(以下是一些返校购物省钱的方法。)符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文“If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that careful budget works.(如果说2019冠状病毒病教会了我们什么,那就是谨慎的预算是有效的。)”和下文“Do not buy too much at the moment.(现在不要买太多。)”可知,空处和上文形成因果关系,建议购买最需要的物品。D项:So purchase what you need most to get the school year started.(所以购买你最需要的东西来开始新学年。)符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Check a retailer’s website for its price matching policy details. Many will also refund the price difference if you spot a cheaper price within a certain time frame after the purchase.(查看零售商网站上的价格匹配政策细节。如果你在购买后的一段时间内发现了更便宜的价格,许多人还会退还差价。)”可知,本段主要介绍要进行价格对比。B项:Check prices before and after shopping.(购物前后查看价格。)符合语境。故选B。
【41题详解】
根据下文“So by teaming up with other parents, you can purchase things like hand sanitizer (洗手液) and supplies for homework and note-taking in bulk. (因此,通过与其他家长合作,你可以批量购买洗手液、家庭作业用品和笔记用品。)”可知,空处解释批量购买生活和学习用品的原因,和下文形成因果关系。G项:Wherever your child is learning, they’ll need supplies that most students need.(无论你的孩子在哪里学习,他们都需要大多数学生需要的用品。)符合语境。故选G。
【42题详解】
根据本段小标题“Shop on tax-free holidays(在免税日购物)”及上文“Sixteen states have sales tax holidays in August this year.(今年8月,有16个州有免税日)”可知,空处内容和免税日有关。E项:Most of them last through a full weekend, and some even longer.(大多数会持续一个完整的周末,有些甚至更长。)符合语境。故选E。

【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:77岁的徐秀珍在景区卖水、卖明信片、卖头花,她和外国人说着不同的语言,视频让她一炮而红。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词77-year-old Xu Xiuzhen,先行词指人,关系词在从句作主语,用关系代词who,故填who。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了养家糊口,初中三年级就辍学的徐秀珍开始学习不同的语言,以吸引更多的外国客户。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语began,故设空处只能填非谓语动词形式,结合句意可知,此处作目的状语,应用to do不定式。故填to attract。
【60题详解】

【61题详解】

【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:在过去的20年里,徐秀珍自学了11门外语,包括英语、西班牙语、日语和韩语,这让她非常受欢迎,也让她更容易与外国游客交流。后跟名词作宾语,故用介词including (包括)。故填including。
64题详解】
考查副词。句意:在过去的20年里,徐秀珍自学了11门外语,包括英语、西班牙语、日语和韩语,这让她非常受欢迎,也让她更容易与外国游客交流。修饰后文形容词popular应用副词incredibly作状语,故填incredibly。
【65题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:因此,徐秀珍也成为阳朔最繁忙的导游之一。分析句子可知,设空处位于定冠词the后,名词短语tour guides前,应用形容词;结合句意以及one of 可知,此处表示“最忙的导游之一”,应用形容词的最高级;busy的最高级为busiest。故填busiest。
【66题详解】

68. 爬梯子时,我失去了平衡,摔倒在地上。

69. 这些大象需要一段相当长的时间才能适应一个新的环境。
It takes quite a long time for these elephants to ___________ themselves to a new environment.
【答案】adapt
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。空白处在句中做谓语动词,根据汉语提示“适应”及空前的“to”可知,此处应使用动词原形adapt,构成固定短语adapt oneself to...,表示“使自己适应……”。故填adapt。
70. 如今,随着信息产业的发展,每个人都能很容易地使用优质的学习资源。
Nowadays, with the development of the information industry, everyone can have easy ___________ to good learning resources.
【答案】access
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。短语have access to意为“使用,可以利用”,符合句意,故填access。
71. 这款应用程序会有更实用的功能。

【解析】
【详解】考查名词。“功能”function,为可数名词,由空前的more可知,此处应用名词的复数形式,作have的宾语。故填functions。
72. 据说肢体语言占第一印象的 55%,而你所说的话只占7%。
It’s said that body language ___________ ___________ 55 percent of a first impression while what you say just 7 percent.
【答案】 ①. accounts ②. for
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。根据英汉意思对比可知,空处应填“占……比例”,作从句的谓语动词,应用短语account for,根据主句谓语动词is可知,句子讲述客观事实,用一般现在时,由于主语是单数名词body language,谓语动词需要用第三人称单数形式accounts for。故填①accounts;②for。
73. 餐馆向我们收了400元酒水钱。
The restaurant ___________ us 400 yuan for the wine.
【答案】charged
【解析】

74. 随着冬天的来临,鸟儿飞到了南方。
With winter ___________, birds flew to the south.
【答案】approaching
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。根据句意, “来临” 是动词approach,根据with+宾语+宾补结构可知,空处是非谓语动词作宾补,winter和approach为主动关系,用现在分词。 故答案为:approaching。
75. 文化遗产是属于全民的宝藏,而不是属于某个人。
Cultural relics are a treasure __________ all people rather than any individual.
【答案】belonging to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和现在分词。根据题意可知空处填表示“属于”的词,可用固定短语belong to;本句已有谓语,故空处用非谓语,belong是表示所属关系的词,一般不用于进行时,也不用于被动结构,本处是用其现在分词形式作后置定语,故填belonging to。

Gahriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
25. What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?
A. Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B. They were always refusing to follow her directions.
C. Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
D. They looked down upon her because she was a female.
26. What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?
A. Independent thinking and mild character. B. Competitive spirit and mild character.
C. Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior. D. Active participation and creative thinking.
27. Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?
A. Bossy and rude. B. Flexible and communicative.
C. King but stubborn. D. Strict but trustworthy.
28. What can we learn from Gabriela’s story?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Part of a research study by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.
The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period. Following their workouts, study participants drank either two cups of skim milk, or a soy beverage with equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.
Upon the study's conclusion, scientists observed that: the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fat—two pounds—as those in the carbohydrate beverage group, who lost one pound of fat. Those drinking soy beverages lost no fat. At the same time, the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.
As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.
"I think the evidence is beginning to increase," says Stuart Phillips—the leader of the study. "Milk may be best known for its calcium content in supporting bone health, but our research, and later others', can continually support milk's ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal post workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike."
29. How many days did the participants lift weights in the program?
A. 56 days. B. 84 days. C. 60 days. D. 12 days.
30. What does the underlined word "beverage" probably mean?
A. A kind of medicine. B. A sort of drink.
C. A type of exercise. D. A piece of equipment.
31. According to the passage, we can know that
A. the scientists chose people aged 18, 30 and 56 as participants of the research
B. a soy beverage is a proper choice for losing weight over the long term
C. people who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than others
D. soy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle
32. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What exercisers should do to lose weight.
B. How milk influences people's health and figure.
C. The differences between milk and soy or carbohydrate beverages.
D. A research about the effect of drinking milk on exercisers.
D
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder) They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
33. Why is the question raised in paragraph 1?
A. To ask readers for their answers. B. To show the author’s curiosity.
C To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To introduce the topic of the passage.
34. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient.
C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient.
35. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs.
C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food.
36. What can we infer from the passage?
A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B. 3D printing food can treat dysphagia.
C. 3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D. 3D food printing would be a failure.
37. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen.
B. Can 3D Printing Create Everything?
C. 3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion!
D. The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing.
