But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing” is being an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”24. Beginners of storm chasing are advised . A. not to get too close to a stormB. to spend more time on it in summer C. not to drive in a heavy rainD. to do it in an organized way25. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .A. efforts in storm chasing are well paid B. a storm presents the greatest show on EarthC. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyD. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting 26. What can we learn from the text?A. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.B. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.C. Storm chasing is being popular around the world.D. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.CTechnology is always trying to meet our needs and demands. Theres a new frontier in 3D printing thats beginning to e into focus: food. Recent developmenthas made possible machines that print, cook and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isnt stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print plicated chocolatesculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. Arestaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “recreate forms and pieces”of food that are “exactlythe same,”freeing cooks to plete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.Sustainability (可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is being a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae (藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients (烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocerystores of the future might stock “food”that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket, youd eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overe. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste (糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, becauseingredients interact with each other in very plex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurant than homes and high-end restaurants.27.Whatbenefitdoes3Dprintingbringtofoodproduction?A. It improves the cooking conditions.B. Itcontributestorestaurantdecorations.C. It helps cooks to create new dishes.D.It saves time and effort in cooking.28.AccordingtoParagraph4, 3D-printedfood_.A. cankeepallthenutritioninrawmaterialsB. is more tasty than food in supermarkets C. can meet individual nutritional needsD.is more available to consumers29.Whatisthemainfactorthatprevents3Dfoodprintingfromspreadingwidely?A.
