Have you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works.

Two of the team's works took home the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition. It was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme "China's New Era　 (时代) ". The other work was an ancient Chinese palace. They sent the work as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.

The team members learned how to print in their school's 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D printed items, they first draw a blueprint　 (蓝图) . Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and assemble (组装) them, as Liu Songyuan, 14, said.

But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme "China's New Era", they printed out items standing for high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.

When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that stood for traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired (启迪) by a trip to the palace Museum. "When we saw the buildings there, we thought 'That's it!" said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic　 (逼真的) . "We will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things, "Zhang added.

3.How often did the team members take classes to learn 3-D printing?

A.Twice a week B.Once a week. C.Once a month. D.Three times a week.

③ They draw a blueprint.

My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai(傣族人) and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in bike riding too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister who first had the idea to ride along the whole Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.

My sister has one serious shortcoming(缺点). She can be really stubborn(固执的). Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted(坚持) that she organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details(细节). So I told her that the source (源头)of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe(呼吸) and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.

Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From it we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.

1.Who planned the trip to the Mekong River?

A.Wang Kun　　     B. Wang Wei　　         C. Dao Wei　　　         D. Yu Hang

2.The Mekong River　 begins from________.

A.Kunming　　　　 B. western Yunnan Province　　　 C. Qinghai Province　　　　     D. the South China Sea

3.According to the passage, which of the following can you see when you travel along the Mekong River　 ?

A.An island.　　　　     B. Taiwan.         C. Some lions.         D. A waterfall.

4.Which of the following is NOT TURE according to the passage?

A. Wang Kun and Wang Wei dreamed about taking a bike trip and finally they got the chance.

B. Wang Kun thought that it would be easy to start their trip in Qinghai.

C. Wang Kun had to stop arguing with Wang Wei and accept her idea finally.

D. Wang Kun and Wang Wei didn’t know that half of the river is in China before they went to the library.

5.What do you think is the best title of the passage ?

A. The Dream And The Plan　　　　　　         B.A Trip In The Mountain

C.The Mekong River　　　　　　　　　　　　　　         D. A Great Bike Trip
