【题目】We see the world in three dimensions. Now, we can print in three dimensions, too, thanks to a manufacturing process: 3D printing.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive (连续的) layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizon till (水平的) cross-section of the eventual object. Today’s 3D printers are being used to print everything from design models to jewelry, crafts, product parts, body parts, and even food.

3D printing starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is for instance a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. This CAD file is created using a 3D modeling application or with a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D scanner can make a 3D digital copy of an object.

You will have to prepare a 3D model before it is ready to be 3D printed. This is what they call slicing. Slicing is dividing a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers and needs to be done with software.

Sometimes a 3D model can be sliced from within a 3D modeling software application. It is also possible that you are forced to use a certain slicing tool for a certain 3D printer.

When the 3D model is sliced, you are ready to feed it to your 3D printer. This can be done via USB. SD or WiFi. It really depends on what brand and type 3D printer you have.

When a file is uploaded in a 3D printer, the object is ready to be 3D printed layer by layer. The 3D printer reads every slice (2D image) and creates a three dimensional object.

Before you pick up a 3D printer and experimenting in the 3D world, consider how big the objects you might want to create. If your goal is to print foot-long rulers, you’ll fall short of that goal if the printer you choose can only handle objects smaller 6 inches in height and width.

Another reality check is print speed. You’ll be able to knock out a day’s worth of chores (琐事) while the printer is running, with a typical 4-inch model requiring as many as 12 hours to print. As with ordinary printers, print speed also depends on how well it prints.

Title: A Beginners’ Guide to 3D Printing

What is 3D printing?

3D printing is a process of making three-dimension objects out of a digital file.

An object created with 3D printing 1 of a number of layers of material.

How does 3D printing 2?

The first 3is to make a virtual design of your 4 object.

A 5 3D model is sliced into a huge number of layers with software or some 6 for a certain 3D printer.

The sliced model is 7 to a 3D printer

The 3D printer 8 the layers into an entire object step by step.

What else do you need to know?

The9of what you intend to make is a factor in your choice of a 3D printer.

Print speed is associated with print 10.

9size

10quality

【解析】文章介绍了什么是3D打印机,其工作原理及使用时的注意事项。

1consists

考查动词。根据第三段The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive (连续的) layers of material until the object is created.可知,3D打印机是通过连续铺设材料层打印出物体的,consist of“……组成”故填consists。

2work

考查动词。文章的主要部分讲3D打印机的工作过程,所以问题应该是“3D打印机是怎样工作的?”,故填work。

3step

考查名词。根据第四段3D printing starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create.可知,3D打印的第一步是开始创建对象的虚拟设计。表示第一步,故填step。

4desired/wanted/target

考查形容词。此处和the object you want to create同义修饰object用形容词,表示你想要创建的物体或目标物故填desired/Wanted/target。

5prepared

考查形容词。根据第五段You will have to prepare a 3D model before it is ready to be 3D printed. This is what they call slicing. Slicing is dividing a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers and needs to be done with software.可知,在3D打印出来之前,必须准备好一个3D模型。这就是所谓的切片。切片将3D模型分割成成百上千的水平层,需要用软件完成。所以此处指准备好的3D模型故填prepared。

6tool

考查名词。根据第六段Sometimes a 3D model can be sliced from within a 3D modeling software application. It is also possible that you are forced to use a certain slicing tool for a certain 3D printer.(3D模型可以在3D建模软件应用程序中进行切割。也有可能你被迫为某台3D打印机使用某种切片工具。)由此可知,3D模型处理过程中需要某些专门的软件应用工具,故填tool。

7fed

考查过去分词。根据第七段When the 3D model is sliced, you are ready to feed it to your 3D printer.可知,当3D模型被切片时,你就可以将它输入3D打印机。与feed it to同义此处是被动,故填fed。

8form/make

考查动词。根据第八段When a file is uploaded in a 3D printer. the object is ready to be 3D printed layer by layer. The 3D printer reads every slice (2D image) and creates a three dimensional object.(当一个文件被上传到3D打印机上该物体就可以按层进行3D打印。3D打印机读取每个切片(2D图像),并创建一个三维图像。)由此可知,3D打印机会把许多层部分打印成一个整体,故填form/make。

9size

考查名词。根据倒数第二段consider how big the objects you might want to create可知,打印前要先考虑好想要打印的尺寸,故填size。

10quality

考查名词。根据最后一段Another reality check is print speed.print speed also depends on how well it prints.可知,打印速度和打印质量有关。故填quality。

【题目】A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.

The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.

The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.

It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winter season-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."

Bin.E's official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available.The office bin will sell at 430 while customers will need to pay a 107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin.E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.

They added: “After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”

1What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?

A. It works automatically.

B. It has been used widely.

C. It is easy to operate.

D. It is very expensive.

2What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The waste.

B. The camera.

C. The bin.

D. The sensor.

3Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?

A. To change people’s behaviour,

B. To satisfy increasing demands.

C. To popularize new technology.

D. To make them more famous.

4Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin. E’s official?

A. At home.

B. In the supermarket.

C. In the open air.

D. In the office.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers. Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says,“At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. ” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully. Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice.
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I've really enjoyed meeting you.” Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A. It's polite to listen to others with a smile.
B. You'd better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.

【题目】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。Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.
A. Why should you forgive?
B. How should you start to forgive?
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

【题目】When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears "turn around and head back home", but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.

I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep.

I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!

【题目】When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.

Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播). She is quickly making herself noticed.

Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the show’s makes in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the company.

“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,”Carly said. “I didn’t even hesitate(犹豫).”

Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade. One day, she heard that forest fires were burning nearby. After sports class, she went out into the forest and reported on the fires. She fell in love with broadasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could.

But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad comments from audience(听众)memebers.

“Everyone has a different opinion and I’ve always tried to tell Carly that you can’t listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If it’s what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.”

Carly’s advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative comment, there are five positive comments, and that’s how I think aobut it.” She said.

The first program Carly anchored was about an artist’s pumpkin patch. In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.

“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.

She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host. Gifford told Carly to continue doing what she loves because “it will lead to big things”.
