However, one summer vacation, when she visited her favorite beach, she couldn't help but notice the plastic water bottles everywhere. After learning more about plastic pollution, Madison invented the Eco-Hero,an edible water bottle. The invention helped her become one of the 30 finalists in the 2022 Broadcom Masters Competition，an important competition for middle school students in the US. It took a lot of tries to get the Eco-Hero strong enough so it wouldn't break easily.“Hard work pays off. I saw that with her as she went through the process," says Madison's mother. “The biggest thing that she did was to keep trying new things. And if it didn't work, she would research something else and then try it again.” As Madison thinks about the future of the Eco-Hero, she says she wants to do more tests to improve the water bottle and make it stronger and bigger. She hopes the Eco-Hero can let people understand that everyone can make the world a better place.“It doesn't have to be in a big way. Remember, everyone can make a difference to the world, even if it's just in a small way,”says Madison. In her free time. Madison likes to draw and play soccer.

Before that, 3D printing wasn’t so important. Now, however, industries have begun using additive manufacturing. 3D printing in fashion More and more people have begun using 3D printing in industries such as food and fashion. However, there has not been an active market for 3D-printed shoes for years. The possibilities with shoes may be endless. There are risks in the fashion and shoe industries when considering a long-term move to 3D printing. This would mean a change of design and production methods with a huge cost of buying new machines and materials. It is a risk without certain profit (收益), but the future of 3D-printed shoes is unbelievable because these shoes are recyclable (可回收的). It is unusual and it is a business risk. But it could be part of saving the planet from the thousands of shoes that end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) every year. 3D printing in food Even more excellent is 3D-printed food. Beginning with a paste (糊状物) and then the printer produces shapes and designs from a computer. This process is not easy, but restaurants and food companies are still trying out the technology. At Columbia University, researchers have begun using lasers (激光) to cook the food as it prints, opening up the world of cooking. Once, they produced a piece of cheesecake in 30 minutes. While the researchers believe the technology will continue to grow and gain interest, it is currently much too expensive for people to use regularly. 1．How was 3D printing before 1986? 2．What industries have used 3D printing according to the passage? 3．Why can 3D-printed shoes save the planet? 4．How did the researchers open up the world of cooking? 5．What do you think of the future of 3D printing? 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Past and Present 过去和现在 话题阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 158 本文介绍了中国高铁新的里程碑。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 250 在看到自己喜爱的沙滩上到处都是塑料水瓶后，来自美国的Madison Checketts发明了可食用的水瓶，并将其命名为Eco-Hero。 实战演练 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 209 本文主要对2050年的生活进行了预测。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 198 本文主要介绍了未来教室的样子。 Passage3 完形填空 说明文 261 作者畅想了未来的生活，涵盖未来学校的安排、交通方式的变化，还表达了自己想成为科学家发明机器人的梦想，并决心从当下开始努力，以实现这些愿景。 Passage4 完形填空 记叙文 288 本文通过作者的一个梦境，描绘了未来高科技、环保且便利的生活场景，包括鲸鱼形状的水下住宅、智能家居、无人驾驶汽车以及全新的学习方式等。 Passage5 任务型阅读 说明文 283 主要介绍了3D打印技术在时尚和食品行业的应用现状及未来发展潜力。 时文阅读 Passage1 China’s High-Speed Rail: A New Milestone 中国高铁:新的里程碑 On December 26th, the Xi'an-Yan'an High-Speed Railway opened with the Fuxing train C9309 leaving Yan'an Station.

First, AI (人工智能) will bring more jobs in 2050. Many people worry about AI in our lives because they think robots will do all the jobs and we won’t have jobs. But according to (根据) a survey, AI will bring 2.3 million jobs and make only 1.8 million jobs disappear. Second, space travel will be possible in 2050.

And they can also bring changes (变化) in our lives, too. We will have more time for ourselves.”可知，自动驾驶汽车会让我们的生活有变化，我们会拥有更多属于自己的时间，即会有更多空闲时间。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“According to Business Insider, people can travel in space in 2050.”可知，2050年太空旅行可能会实现。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。根据“Now, let’s have a look at some predictions about 2050 together.”可知本文主要对2050年的生活进行了预测，所以最佳标题是“Predictions for the Future”。故选B。 Passage2 With the development (发展) of technology (科技), education is changing.

Before that, 3D printing wasn’t so important. Now, however, industries have begun using additive manufacturing. 3D printing in fashion More and more people have begun using 3D printing in industries such as food and fashion. However, there has not been an active market for 3D-printed shoes for years. The possibilities with shoes may be endless. There are risks in the fashion and shoe industries when considering a long-term move to 3D printing. This would mean a change of design and production methods with a huge cost of buying new machines and materials. It is a risk without certain profit (收益), but the future of 3D-printed shoes is unbelievable because these shoes are recyclable (可回收的). It is unusual and it is a business risk. But it could be part of saving the planet from the thousands of shoes that end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) every year. 3D printing in food Even more excellent is 3D-printed food. Beginning with a paste (糊状物) and then the printer produces shapes and designs from a computer. This process is not easy, but restaurants and food companies are still trying out the technology. At Columbia University, researchers have begun using lasers (激光) to cook the food as it prints, opening up the world of cooking. Once, they produced a piece of cheesecake in 30 minutes. While the researchers believe the technology will continue to grow and gain interest, it is currently much too expensive for people to use regularly. 1．How was 3D printing before 1986? 2．What industries have used 3D printing according to the passage? 3．Why can 3D-printed shoes save the planet? 4．How did the researchers open up the world of cooking? 5．What do you think of the future of 3D printing? 【答案】1．It wasn’t so important./It was not important./It hadn’t been in use. 2．Food and fashion. 3．Because they are recyclable/they will not be left in landfills/they will reduce pollution. 4．They used lasers to cook the food (as it prints). 5．I think it will be widely used/be more creative/grow quickly/reduce costs... 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了3D打印技术在时尚和食品行业的应用现状及未来发展潜力。文章分别阐述了3D打印鞋子的环保优势以及3D打印食品的创新技术，同时指出了当前面临的高成本挑战。 1．根据“3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (增材制造), has been in use since 1986.
