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 pletely different method is gaining popularity.On Oct. 9, xx,LondonScienceMuseumkicked 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 e out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward.For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about1,000, according to the BBC. In fact, 3-D printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadnt 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 bees more monplace, 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 worlds first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in theUSin May of this year, which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.21. According to the article, in the future, 3-D printing technology will probably _.A. be applied as widely in our daily lives as putersB. change the way people make productsC. forbid many countries to make purchases of weaponsD. take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy22. What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year?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 worlds first 3-D printed gun was successfully made.D. The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.23. What is the authors attitude toward 3-D printing technology?A. Amused.B. Supportive. C. Objective.D. Negative.BDisappointed with delays in Sacramento (the capital of California), Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the regions growing piles of electronic waste.ASan Josecouncil woman and aSan Franciscosupervisor said they would propose new local plans aimed at controlling electronic waste if theCalifornialaw-making body fails to act on two bills delayed in the Assembly. They are among a growing number ofCaliforniacities and countries that have expressed the same intentionEnvironmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the danger caused by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and puters are stocked inCaliforniahomes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 puters bee outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead (铅) and other dangerous substances, and are already banned from California landfills.A bill by Senator (参议员) Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ray tube. Used in almost all videomonitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.Aseparate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste. If passed, the measures would putCaliforniaat the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state shops.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware theyre not supposed to throw puters in the dust bin,” said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.puter recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isnt contracted to junk dealers who send the poisonous parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in ruralChina,” said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for some refinement to Shers bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.24. How would Bay Area officials deal with the problem of e-waste? A. To get enough support to pass the delayed bills.B. To persuade the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C. To make relevant local regulations by themselves.D. To put pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.25. What do the two bills delayed in the California Assembly both concern? A. The reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state.B. The regulations on dumping dangerous substances into landfills.C. The funding of local initiatives to reuse waste electronic devices.D. The sales of the second-hand electronic devices to foreign countries.26. High-tech groups believe that if an extra fee is charged on every TV or puter purchased inCalifornia, consumers will _.A. hesitate to upgrade their putersB. abandon online shoppingC. strongly protest against such a chargeD. buy them from other states27. We learn from the passage that much ofCalifornias electronic waste has been _.A. dumped into local landfillsB. exported to foreign countriesC. collected by non-profit agencies D. recycled by puter manufacturersC Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in xx which requires allhuman remains unearthed inEnglandandWalesto be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in xx that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh inNorfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northernEuropeand the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before xx, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist atSheffieldUniversity, said, “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.28. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because_.A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchC. it was introduced by the government without their knowledgeD. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.30. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains.B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.C. The law on human remains hasnt changed in recent decades.D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.DThe concept of culture has been defined many times, and although no definition has achieved universal acceptance, most of the definitions include three central ideas: that culture is passed on from generation to generation, that a culture represents a ready-made principle for living and for making day-to-day decisions, and, finally, that the ponents of a culture are accepted by those in the culture as good, and true, and not to be questioned. The eminent anthropologist George Murdock has listed seventy-three items that characterize every known culture, past and present.The list begins with Age-grading and Athletic sports, runs to Weaning and Weather Control, and includes on the way such items as Calendar, Fire making, Property Rights, and Tool making. I would submit that even the most extreme advocate of a culture of poverty viewpoint would readily acknowledge that, with respect to almost all of these items, every American, beyond the first generation immigrant, regardless of race or class, is a member of a mon culture. We all share pretty much the same sports. Maybe poor kids dont know how to play polo, and rich kids dont spend time with stickball, but we all know baseball, football, and basketball. Despite some misguided efforts to raise minor dialects to the status of separate tongues, we all, in fact, share the same language.There may be differences in diction and usage, but it would be ridiculous to say that all Americans dont speak English. We have the calendar, the law, and large numbers of other cultural items in mon. It may well be true that on a few of the seventy-three items there are minor variations between classes, but these kinds of things are really slight variations on a mon theme.There are other items that show variability, not in relation to class, but in relation to religion and ethnic background funeral customs and cooking, for example. But if there is one place inAmericawhere the melting pot is a reality, it is on the kitchen stove; in the course of one month, half the readers of this sentence have probably eaten pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein. Specific differences that might be identified as signs of separate cultural identity are ly insignificant within the general unity of American life; they are cultural mas and semicolons in the paragraphs and pages of American life.32.According to the authors definition of culture, _.A. a culture should be accepted and maintained universallyB. a culture should be free from falsehood and evilsC. the items of a culture should be taken for granted by peopleD. the items of a culture should be accepted by well-educated people33.What can we learn from the passage?A. Baseball, football and basketball are popular sports inAmerica.B. Different classes have different cultures.C. Playing polo is popular among kids.D. There is no variation in using the American language.34.It can be inferred that _ will most probably be included in theseventy-three items.A. accentB. poloC. dream patternsD. table manners35.The authors main purpose in writing this passage is to _.A. prove that different people have different definitions of cultureB. warn that variations exist as far as a culture is concernedC. indicate that culture is closely connected with social classesD. show that the idea that the poor or the rich establish a separate culture is an absurdity第二部分 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to bee a better student in several ways.36 .Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to whenyou are studying for a test.
