3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?

Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.

Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food ‘inks’ into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.

Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料) such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.

Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.

However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those fro growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food –based inks and gels(凝胶)?

What’s more , cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.

1.Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?

A. Quick and popular.

B. Easy and efficient.

C. Nutritious and tasty.

D. Soft and convenient.

2.Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?

A. Traditional food would disappear.

B. Many people could lose their jobs.

C. It would affect the people’s health.

D. We could all eat the same food.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.

B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.

C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.

D. 3D food printing would be a failure.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen

B. Can 3D printing create everything?

C. 3D—printing food will be in fashion!

D. The disadvantage of 3D food printing

Next autumn, studying for a degree in Britain will become more expensive, and the results are already clear. This week, figures from UCAS(the Universities and College Admissions service)show a 15-percent downturn in applications(申请) from this time last year. With fees having reached ￡9,000 a year, some students are beginning to consider other ways of getting higher education—including distance learning, which allows them to get a degree while still living, and earning money, at home.

That is important, because fees are only part of the picture. The National Union of Students says that UK students pay an average of ￡4,900 a year for basics such as rent, food, books, equipment, field trips and the like. If those costs can be reduced, the burden of fees will be lessened. Therefore, many people are thinking not only about what and where to study, but how—that is, whether they have to be on campus to get a degree.

Distance learning is best suited to certain subjects and to ultra-motivated(极有主动性的)student, according to Carrie-Anne Rice of Resource Development International(RDI).“The advantage is that the fee system is more flexible(灵活的), and you can have full-time work while studying, Rice says.”“You graduate three years ahead of possible competitors(竞争对手)— with the same degree, but with three years of work experience and without the debt.”

“I left school and went straight into work. But at the age of 23, I changed career and soon realized I needed a degree to advance. Because of lack of money ad time, full-time university wasn’t a good choice, but I discovered that distance learning was financially flexible and enabled me to work and gain skills from my workplace without affecting the quality of my life,” Andy Cain, a distance learning student says.

Although distance learning has many advantages, a campus-based university experience remains the dream of most school-leavers. There is no question that “being there” is not only fun, but rich in shared experience, pooled knowledge, and—perhaps most importantly—friendships that will go on long after the degrees have been awarded.

1.The number of students applying to universities________compared to this time last year.

A．has increased greatly                    B．has decreased

C．hasn’t shown any change                D．has become zero

2.Students who study on campus spend________each year, on average.

A．￡9,000          B．￡4,900           C．￡13,900          D．￡4,100

3.Which of the following is NOT the benefit of distance learning?

A．Lower debt levels                       B．A head start on the job market.

C．Valuable friendships                     D．A flexible fee system.

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The change in fees has had no effect on school-leavers.

B．Distance learning has the same advantages as campus-based learning.

C．Distance learning is so attractive that nobody wants to go to university any more.

D．Distance learning doesn’t suit all subjects or all students.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian( 百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to ( 习惯于) expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的) . They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting , often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

1.It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ______.

A.still judge a man by his clothes

B.enjoy having a professional identity

C.hold the uniform in such high regard

D.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

2.People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ______.

A.suggests quality work

B.appears to be more practical

C.discards (丢弃;抛弃)his social identity

D.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

3.The chief function of a uniform is to ______.

A.provide practical benefits to the wearer.

B.provide the wearer with a professional identity

C.inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

D.make the wearer catch the public eye

4.According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ______.

A.are usually helpful

B.have little or no individual freedom

C.enjoy greater popularity

D.tend to lose their individuality

5.The best title for this passage would be ______.

A.Uniforms and Society

B.The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

C.Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

D.Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
