【题目】While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!
About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?
A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.
B. To show they live a difficult life there.
C. To show their life is boring in space.
D. To introduce the topic of the text.
【2】NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.
A. create some new type of 3-D printer
B. attract more companies to work for NASA
C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.
A. he has no money left to go on with his research
B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers
C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
D. he cannot make the food container last for decades
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people
D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza
【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】D
【4】B
【解析】
试题分析: 宇航员在太空时，也会有食物的需求。最新的研究表示，3D打印技术有望让宇航员们在太空吃上披萨。
【1】D考查推理判断题。文章是介绍一项可以为宇航员提供“打印披萨”的技术可能性，因此现在无法做到的是为了引出下文。因此选D。
【2】C考查细节理解题。由“About a year ago，NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor，a 3-D technology expert，to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand．”可知，美国宇航局提供的125，000美元是为了开发出向宇航员们提供新鲜披萨的技术。故选C。
【3】D考查细节理解题。由文章“That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years．”可知，容器的时限关系是目前的一大难题。故选D。
【4】B考查主旨大意题。文章主要讲了向宇航员们提供的在太空自制披萨的技术开发，因此在将来宇航员们也许能吃上热气腾腾的披萨哦。故选B。
考点 ：科普类阅读。

As it is often the case, when people are attending meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.

【题目】阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.
Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.
Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to — people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.
【写作内容】
1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。
2. 以约120个词就“How to deal with rejection”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：
(1)讲述一次你被拒绝的经历；(2)你当时的感受；(3)你认为应该如何正确面对拒绝。
【写作要求】
作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。
【评分标准】
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。

I love camping. It is my favoritest way to spend the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and what I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

One day Tom and I were walking down the street while we saw an old man fall off his bike. He was badly hurt. Many people crowded around us. Someone suggested carrying the old man to the roadside, so Tom disagreed. He has learned first aid. He said that they ought to leave him where he was and checked him first. At that time the old man wasn’t breathing. Tom asked me to call in the First Aid Center at once and he began to start the old man’s breathing, use the mouth-to-mouth way. Within five minute, the old man began to move a little and doctors also arrived. They said that we had done was correct. I have learned from this experience that a knowledge of first aid can make a really difference.

In our life, we often regret what we did and which we couldn’t do. Actually, it doesn’t benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn more money, to get a high position and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don’t seize those opportunities, thus feel upset. Although we do know regretting the Past is no benefit, but we still can’t help doing it
To avoid the problem below, we need to pay more attention to what you are doing now, making us busier and having no time to recall the past. Moreover, we’d better set reasonably goals one by one. Only by doing so can we struggle for our future better.
