Ⅳ. 阅读理解
Imagine a world where you can print a toy, a tool, or even a pizza. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie. It is happening now with 3D printing.
3D printing is a technology that allows users to create three-dimensional objects from a digital file. The process is simple: first, you design an object on a computer. Then, the 3D printer reads the design and prints the object layer by layer using materials like plastic, metal, or even chocolate.
This technology is changing many industries. In medicine, doctors have used 3D printing to make artificial limbs (假肢) for patients. In the past, making an artificial leg could take weeks. Now, it can be done in hours. In the food industry, some companies are experimenting with printing chocolates and cakes in fantastic shapes.
However, 3D printing also brings challenges. One concern is safety. If people can print guns at home, it could be dangerous. Another problem is copyright (版权). If someone prints a copy of a patented product, it is stealing.
Despite these problems, the future of 3D printing is bright. It gives common people the power to turn their ideas into real objects. As the technology becomes cheaper, it will become a common tool in every home, just like the ink printer we use today.

Ⅴ. 任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
What will the cities of the future look like? Experts believe that technology will change how we live in big ways.
First, buildings will be smarter. Windows will change colour automatically to control the sunlight and temperature. Walls might be able to produce fresh air like trees. This will save a lot of energy.
Second, transportation will be different. Flying cars are no longer just a dream. Companies are testing small electric aircraft that can fly over traffic jams. Also, self-driving buses will pick up passengers and drive them safely to their destinations.
Third, robots will play a bigger role. Robot teachers might help students with their homework. Robot cleaners will keep the streets spotless. There will even be robot farmers that can grow crops without human help.
However, the most important thing is that future cities will be greener. There will be more parks and gardens. People will live closer to nature, even in the center of the city. The power of ideas will make our cities not only smarter but also more livable.
