Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a

physical object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just

by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the

United States.

Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The store

is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers. The Jaycoxs offer

3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.

"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to have a huge effect on society as a whole."

One of the students in a recent class was KiChong Tran. He plans to open a 3D printing business in

Cambodia.

3D printing services are becoming available for American consumers.

The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商 ) that provides shipping, copying and other

services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke

Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.

"The demand has been amazing. It's been much more than I would have imagined." The UPS

Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.

At The UPS Store, the cost of the object depends on the amount of materials used. The store

charges up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file to

guide the printer.

Mr. Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more popular.

But KiChong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like

Cambodia.

"With 3D printing, you can give them tools; you put it in their hands so they are responsible

more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a

tour guide or something like that or working at a bank; you can actually create things that give value

to the world."

He says it's not just in Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer that it can turn a good

idea into reality.

1.The purpose of the passage is to _

A. attract consumers to buy 3D printers B. explain the importance of 3D printing

C. introduce a new technique-3D printing D. describe the rapid development of technology

2.The Build Shop LLC is a store .

A. promoting 3D printers B. offering 3D printing classes and services

C. selling sewing machines D. known for tools like laser cutters

3.At the UPS Store, the price of a 3D object depends on

A. the person who makes it B. the materials to make it and time to design it

C. the size of the object D. the labor service it needs

4.The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology is

A. positive B. objective C. uncertain D. critical

Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is “Being a good partner.”

Wish my views would be helpful. Thank you for your listening!

Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.

They studied in the schools with kindergartens．And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are.

Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers，the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.

While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.

1. Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ________.

A. eyesight B. intelligence

C. language D. emotion

2. Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through ________.

A. speech contests

B. reading efficiency

C. listening comprehension

D. brain scans

3.According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome reading difficulties?

A. Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.

B. Kate, a high school leaver.

C. Jane, a primary school student.

D. Steve, a man in his thirties.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.

B. A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.

C. Dyslexia — a problem affecting one’s reading and writing.

D. A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.

You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot.

Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.

“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice,” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis(表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.

Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.

These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.

1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph Two mean?

A. She became a best seller.

B. She became very powerful.

C. She became a money maker.

D. She became very popular.

2.Which of the following can Xiaoice do?

A. Do housework.

B. Spread messages.

C. Identify various photos.

D. Read news to its users.

3.Which company’s chatbot program can act as an academic consultant?

A. Microsoft.B. IBM.C. Apple.D. Amazon.

4.What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Chatbots mainly run on smartphones now.

B. It’ll take decades to apply chatbots to cars.

C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film.

D. The film Her doesn’t interest many audience.

The London Underground (The Tube）

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s most necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd (荒谬的) price of £ 4.80 (Zone 1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster card, a single fare is £ 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £ 1.50 if using only buses, the fare is capped at £ 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless users.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HSI.

1.When taking the London Underground, ________.

A. you should buy tickets with cash

B. you can save more money with a single ticket

C. you can go to any place in London quickly

D. you are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

2.If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass ________.

A. London BridgeB. Stratford

C. Canary WharfD. Tower Hill

3.To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use ________.

A. The London UndergroundB. The Bus System

C. The DLR and the TramD. National Rail

The Brown Bear

My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack—The first time I felt panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

1.The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.

A. catch shore birdsB. start an attack

C. protect the childrenD. set up a barrier for itself

2.The bear finally went away after it _______.

A. felt safeB. got injured

C. found some foodD. took away the camera

3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______.

A. prideB. patience

C. calmnessD. cautiousness

If you’re making the film with other people, organize your cast and crew effectively. Make sure everybody knows their roles and what day and times they’re needed.

Give people specific jobs so they can become experts in their field. For example, a sound recordist listens to the sound through headphones as it’s being recorded, and holds an extra microphone if needed.

A camera operator frames the picture(取景), sets focus, checks the light and records the action. The editor “cuts” the picture together after it’s shot.

A producer is the contact point for the film. He or she makes sure crew and cast are there on time, talks to the press and organizes the budget.

A director has to make sure their vision is communicated. To do this everyone needs to be clear about what the director expects from each scene and each shot.

You may also need a make-up-artist, a choreographer, a driver, etc. However, you can quite easily make your first film on your own. Make a schedule that says which shots are to be taken where and when (this is called a shooting schedule) and when you’ve completed a take, cross it off the list. Remember that you may want to shoot “out of sequence”, e.g. shoot the last scene first, and the first last. Similarly if the film begins and ends by a tree in the park, it may make sense to film both scenes while you’re there.

If you’re making animation (动画片), have a space that you can control. You may need extra lights and you may need to leave work in progress. Make sure people living with you are aware what’s happening. Animation needs a lot of undisturbed concentration and patience. Keep at it and it’ll pay off. Aardman and Disney both started off at home experimenting with clay, pens and a camera.

1.From the first two paragraphs we can learn that ________.

A. every crew member is an expert in his field

B. careful preparations and arrangements are quite necessary

C. both the cast and crew must arrive at the same time every day

D. every person should have his equipment while working together

2.A director knows the purpose of each step of the work, but ________.

A. he needn’t tell others about that

B. other members just follow his orders

C. he must have it known and well understood by others

D. others may have their own ideas and special ways of working

3.To shoot a film, a shooting schedule must be fixed first ________.

A. but it may be crossed off if unnecessary

B. but you needn’t work exactly on it

C. and each step must be carried out according to it

D. and no one can change it once it is settled
