How do people traditionally manufacture （制造） things？They usually start with a sheet of metal，wood or other material and cut，drill （钻） and shave it to create a desired shape．Sometimes，they use a mold （模具） made of metal or sand，pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part．
Now，a completely different method is gaining popularity．
On Oct.9，2013，London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition，3-D：Printing the Future，with over 600 3-D printed objects on display，including space probes （探测器），toy dolls and even human organs-basically any product you can think of，reported Live Science．
You might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be"printed out"like a picture．But it is not that hard to understand how it works．Just as a traditional printer sprays （喷洒） ink onto paper line by line，modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape．
Instead of ink，the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic，resin （树脂） and certain metals．The thinner each layer is-from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be．And objects always come out in one piece，sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward．
For example，10years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost￡20，000 （200，000yuan），while now it costs only about￡1，000，according to the BBC．In fact，3-D printers have been around for some time，but until recently they hadn't been very popular since few people could afford them．Last year，though，saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers．
However，as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace，it may trigger certain problems．One of them is piracy （盗版）．"Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3-D printer，who will visit a retail （零售的） store again？"an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News．
Even more frightening，the world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year，which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons．
63．According to the article，in the future，3-D printing technology will probablyA．
A．change the way people make products
B．be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C．forbid many countries to make purchases of weapons
D．take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy
64．What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year？D
A．Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition．
B.3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields．
C．The world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully made．
D．The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers．
65．What is the author's attitude toward 3-D printing technology？B
A．Amused．B．Objective．C．Supportive．D．Negative．

19．Unlike chemists and physicists，who usually do their experiments using machines，biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats．But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves-all in the name of science，reported The Telegraph．
●Werner Forssmann （Nobel prize winner in 1956）
Forssmann was a German scientist．He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery （手术）．
Experiments had been done on horses before，so he wanted to try with human patients．But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous．
Not giving up，Forssmann decided to experiment on himself．He anaesthetized （麻醉） his own arm and made a cut，putting the pipe 30centimeters into his vein （血管）．He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart．
●Barry Marshall （Nobel prize winner in 2005）
Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress，spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid （胃酸）．But in 1979an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria （细菌） called Helicobacter pylori．So he teamed up with his colleague，Barry Marshall，to continue the study．When their request to experiment on patients was denied，Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria．Five days later，he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting （呕吐） each morning-he indeed had gastritis．
●Ralph Steinman （Nobel prize winner in 2011）
This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell （免疫细胞） called the dendritic cell．He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer．
Steinman knew he couldn't yet use his method to treat patients．So in 2007，when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year，he saw an opportunity．
With the help of his colleagues，he gave himself three different vaccines （疫苗） based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies （疗法）．Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer，he lived four and a half years，much longer than doctors had said he would．
59．The main purpose of the article is toB．
A．list some famous Nobel prize winners．
B．introduce a few Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves．
C．describe some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize-winners did on themselves．
D．list some difficulties that scientists go through to make important discoveries in biology．

A．Forssmann's experiment ended in failure．
B．Forssmann had the pipe pushed all the way into his heart．
C．Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori．
D．Barry Marshall was given full responsibility for the study on gastritis at first．
61．The underlined word"gastritis"in Paragraph 5probably meansA．
A．a kind of stomach disease
B．a kind of immune cell
C．a new type of therapy
D．a type of leg cancer
62．From the text，we can conclude that Ralph SteinmanD．
A．had his request to experiment on patients denied
B．believed that cancer comes from stress and spicy food
C．discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell
D．tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself．

With the mid-term examinations on the way，are you nervous about your grades？These days，I'm always thinking about．
Started on 10^th Nov.2014By Wilson Smith E-mail：Wilsmith16@yahoo．com
Stacey，14 10^th Nov.2014	I believe that cheating is wrong，but sometimes school can be so stressful （有压力的） that you have to look at your neighbor's paper or bring a cheat sheet．Many of your classmates cheat，so when you see them cheat and get good grades，you want to cheat as well．
Crystal，16 10^th Nov.2014	Students should not cheat．It is students'responsibility （责任） to get knowledge for college and life．People should know that cheating is wrong and feel some kind of guilt when they do it even though they may please their parents and teachers in this way．
Edison，17 11^th Nov.2014	It makes me feel good when I have a chance to cheat but I don't．In the eighth grade，we were taking a test and everyone got up out of their seats when the teacher left the room．But I didn't．I'd like to look at my report card and say honestly，"This is my grade．"
Sharon，18 12^th Nov.2014	There's no doubt that cheating is wrong．Also，it's unlucky that so many students feel the pressure（压力）to cheat．For me，cheating is just a waste of time because it takes more effort （努力） to cheat than to study．I understand the pressure to cheat，but I don't agree with it．
Fiona，16 13^th Nov.2014	I think，well，cheating is OK if it's the teacher's fault．You know，if a teacher isn't making the material understandable，you have to do something to keep your grades up．But it's not OK when the reason is just"I'm lazy，""I'm tired，""I don't like it，"or"I would rather sleep in class．"

15． is reported in the newspaper，children in the US today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young．（　　）

14．The World Health Organization （WHO） planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease．Two doctors were chosen to make the study．They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries．They found that serious diseases of poor eating，often mistaken for other diseases，existed in all parts of Africa．The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor．The diseased children are usually from one to four years old．As the illness progresses，the child's stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body．The skin changes color and may break out in open sores（疼痛）．The hair changes color and starts to fall out．The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food，and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time．Stomach liquids are no longer produced．
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat．Their mothers，after stopping their breastfeeding，gave them foods full of starches（淀粉）instead of greatly needed proteins．They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives．
The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease-which has been killing thousands of children for centuries-was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago．The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases．It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America．
