Last year 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaperFor example，10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost20，000，while now they cost only about1，000，according to the BBCTaken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses，3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes，bikinis，jewelry，aircraft parts and even human organsIn fact，scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer，according to Science DailyThe fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural oneHowever, as 3D printing becomes more common，it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy“Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3D printer，who will visit a retail store again” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes NewsEven more frightening，what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun？4.

Technology in the FutureC. Online Shopping DisappearingD. Printing out Everything7. How is the last paragraph developed？ _ A. By giving examplesB. By making comparisonsC. By analyzing the cause and effectD. By using figures CI told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, You mean fortunately. He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided. My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill. Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it. Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans . He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, Dont listen to anyone who tells you that you cant do this or that. Thats nonsense. Make up your mind, youll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible. The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.8. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage? A. Those who want to achieve success cant expect to live an easy life. B. Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise. C. Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to peoples health. D. Peoples attitude to hardships is the only factor of their success.9. By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us . A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools. C. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. D. If you risk nothing, you will have nothing.10. Following this passage, the author will further talk about . A. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the challenge he faced B. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of trouble C. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the difficulty you faceD. what great people have in common11. Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage? A. Different attitudes towards misfortune B. Face difficulties with a smile C. Nothing is impossible D. Life is full of adversityDRecently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallals study, compared with fewer than four in ten British. These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span as smoking. (291 words)12.
