8.Tech Breakthrough on Nib(笔尖) to Help China's Ballpoint IndustryWith an annual production of 40billion ballpoint pens,Chinese ballpoint pen companies could finally end its total dependence on imports of high standard steel for pen nib as breakthrough technology on the part has been proven a success.
Beifa,a leading stationery brand in China,is testing out some pen refills (笔芯) made with"pen nib steel"for the sixth round.The refills have to be capable of writing 800 meters without a break under the same writing angle to pass the test.
Some other stationery brands like TrueColor have also started using the steel in their products.
The steel is likely to replace imported materials completely in two years.
Currently,more than 40billion ballpoint pens are produced in China annually by more than 3,000companies and 200,000workers.
The secret"pen nib steel"
A ballpoint is made up of a ball and a ball seat.The latter is the difficult part to produce,as the seat can only be made out of steel that is easy to cut but resistant to break while it is being made.
The core technique in producing such high-standard steel has been an industry secret only known to a small number of countries,including Japan and Switzerland.
China has to pay 15million US dollars every year to import more than 1,000tones of such steel for production.
But the situation is expected to change after China's Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co.figured out the production technique of"the pen nib steel"four months ago-that is,five years after the country started a ballpoint project,with Taigang as the leading participant.
Wang Huimian,a senior engineer with Taigang,said micro-elements are essential in turning raw steel into"pen nib steel"with perfect performance.To work out the right proportion of different elements,Wang said,Taigang's research team has conducted a massive number of experiments as they had no examples to follow or refer to.
After repeated failures,the company finally achieved success in a test in September 2016and later produced the first batch (批次) of pen nib steel with a diameter of 2.3mm.

分析 文章讲述了中国圆珠笔制造行业在笔芯的钢铁材料上取得巨大的突破,并重点介绍了Taigang公司在此过程中付出的努力.
解答 63.B 64.B 65.D 66.A
63.B 细节题.根据第一段Chinese ballpoint pen companies could finally end its total dependence on imports of high standard steel for pen nib as breakthrough technology on the part has been proven a success.可知,中国圆珠笔公司研发一种高标准的用来制作笔芯的钢铁,这是技术的一大成功的突破,故选B.
64.B 细节题.在文章中The core technique in producing such high-standard steel has been an industry secret only known to a small number of countries这句话得知Taigang掌握了生产如此高标准钢铁的核心技术,从而使中国圆珠笔行业独立,故选B.
65.D 猜测词意题.句子A ballpoint is made up of a ball and a ball seat.The latter is the difficult part to produce圆珠笔是由球和球座组成,但是后者是制作中比较难的,故猜测"resistant"是"困难的",故选D.
66.A 细节题.在文章最后一段After repeated failures,the company finally achieved success in a test 可知,失败很多次后,公司最终取得成功,故告诉我们"有志者 事竟成".
