Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bring it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is new 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 Jaycox 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 influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D
printing business in Cambodia(柬埔寨).
3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer(零售商) that provides 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. There has been a lot of interest from people. 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 partly on the amount of materials used. The store also changes up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file(数字文件) to guide the printer. Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more consumer-friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia. “With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.” He says it’s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.
63. What do we know about the UPS Store according to the text?
A. It will add 3D printers in 3 more stores to meet people’s demand.
B. It provides various services around the world.
C. It charges customers for the time to design the object only.
D. It offers 3D printing classes and services.
64. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. 3D printing is becoming popular in the world.
B. There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia.
C. The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company.
D. 3D printing plays the most important role in daily life.
65. The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology is___..
A. uncertain B. critical(批判的) C. objective D. positive
66. What is the best title for the text?
A. 3D Printing History B. 3D Printing Services in America
C. 3D Printing Technology D. 3D Printing’ Development
D
Why Sons Go Feminine
I have two kids, a boy and a girl. I don’t worry about my girl. I’m sure she’ll be well trained in mixed martial arts. I worry about my son. I‘m pretty sure he’s going to be feminine(女性化的). Sorry to say that, but let’s face it. No dad wants his son to go feminine.
At the rate(=speed) We’re moving in a couple of years you won’t be able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Sound extreme? Think about this. In every movie where advanced time-traveling beings come to our planet there’s one scene: You can’t tell the male aliens from the female aliens!
But that’s the future. Kids today are soft and fat. People ask why. Is it because of junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for thirty years. None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese. We’re all scratching(挠) our heads trying to figure out what we’ve I introduced to society to ruin our kids. But it’s not anything we’ve added that has ruined our kids. It’s stuff we’ve gotten rid of.
Take the gym rope for example. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldn’t make it to the top. But that wasn't the point; the point was you had to try while some middle-aged guy who couldn’t make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didn’t want to shame(羞辱) the boy, so we took it down.
Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life. But they’re everywhere. You just can’t see them. They’re in every goal, unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you weren’t supposed
to make it to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversized belly(肚子) of every kid.
67 What is the example of aliens used to show?
A. Girls are growing like boys.
B. Boys are going feminine.
C. There are really time-traveling beings.
D. Alien movies are popular with children.
68.What causes kids today to be soft and fat?
A. Junk food. B. Video games. C. Stuff introduced to society. D. Things removed from society.
69.How does the author find teenagers today?
A. They have too much dignity.
B. They are overprotected.
C. They are less independent.
D. They are thought too highly of.
70.What does the rope probably symbolize?
A. Goals. B. Expectations. G. Competition. D. Assistance.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Culture Shock
Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. Let’s have a look at the information below.
Privacy
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income, or marriage status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive.
Family
In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity(地位) while the young are cherished and spoiled. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. 71
Friends
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. 72 . Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends，school friends, and drinking friends.
Money
73 They are always conservative(保守) when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts(同类).
Education
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans，who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.
74 .
Basically China values the community(集体) while the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it is because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something in China, it is because the team, or family, or company is great.75 While in America, individual merits(优品) are celebrated.
A. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
B. Seniors in the U. S. don't live far away from their children.
C. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required.
D. Everything you do gets attributed (归因于)to the greater whole,
E. Money is very important to save.
F. As is well known，the Chinese like to save,
G. Collectivism and Individualism(个人主义)

Dear Sir or Madam，
I am a middle school student. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and disappointment about the unpleasant experience when I bought some books from the Internet the other day.
The reason for my dissatisfaction and disappointment is that the books I bought online are far from my expectation. In the first place, they were poorly printed and the words in some pages are too small. In addition, some books are slightly damaged and even some pages are missing. What's worse, the price of some books is even higher than
that in our local Xinhua Bookstores.
I don’t know how to deal with these books. I am writing this letter to you, hoping that my letter will arouse the attention of the public through this media. I hope that they will improve their service with the supervision of the public opinion.
I would be grateful if you could take my opinion into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
