21、As 3D printing technology improves, people keep finding new uses for it. And the latest is pretty sweet: cheesecake. Researchers with the department of mechanical engineering at Columbia University created a seven-ingredient slice of cake using a 3D printer, and they say printing foods could be a new cooking option with several benefits.
Such printers have been used to make organs before, and similar technologies already exist in the food space 一like pizza and bread robots, pasta printers and automatic cake decorators, the researchers say in the study, published in the NPJ Science and Food journal.
The researchers defined printed food as“the controlled deposition(沉淀), of an ingredient; as such, any ingredient that was pushed into paste(酱),” and they say many existing processed foods can be considered “printed” by this definition. So, in order to make the 3D-printed peanut butter -banana cheesecake with a cherry coat, all the ingredients had to be converted into paste-like substances. All seven ingredients were put in to the 3D printer and then printed out in layers into the shape of a piece of cheesecake.
The researchers say 3D printing food could allow cooks to control the nutrient content in a meal and also offer the ability to make more customized meals. It also reduces human contact with food, which could prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses and diseases.
They also see sustainability benefits to printing food, because ingredients can be locally sourced, plant-based meals can be created and the shelf life of the foods could be extended.
Printing food could also help people with swallowing and other digestive disorders,by providing new food options, rather than the bland foods they may be restricted to.
While some processed foods could have better taste, texture, cleanliness and shelf lives, processing foods can also degrade their nutrients. However, the researchers hope developing the 3D printing technology can help prevent nutrient degradation while processing foods.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A．Printing food is not as strange as it sounds.
B．Such printers were only used in medical before.
C．Printing pizza is similar to printing bread robots.
D．This technology gets the approval of many scientists.
【2】How did the researchers make the ingredients printable?
A．By squeezing them into paste.
B．By cutting them into pieces.
C．By shaping them into layers.
D．By putting them into different printers.
【3】What is the benefit of printing cooking?
A．Increasing human contact with food.
B．Making meals become more nutritious.
C．Promoting the spread of food-borne diseases.
D．Treating the disorders associated with food.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A diet dairy.
B．A cookbook.
C．A medical magazine.
D．A science journal.

23、Over the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy a gift. I was feeling pretty good until halfway home when I looked in the rearview mirror（后视镜）and noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic toy. “Um, where did you get that, Alex?!” “Did you buy it?” “Did I buy it?” “Did you take it?!” Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool—even when he said, “but it was only a $1.50, mom!”—and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn’t buy. I also said he would be returning to the store to apologize and return the item.
A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his pocket money. I stood by the door as he walked sheepishly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it, that he was sorry and that he would pay for it now. (The toy could not be returned now because Alex had broken it.) Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched him fidget nervously and search the clerk’s face for a sign of approval.
Fortunately, the clerk at the chocolate shop was gracious. She told my son he had done the right thing and when she caught my eye, I smiled in thanks and we left. I told my son that I was proud of him and to remember how awful the experience felt.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Alex had stolen a bar of chocolate from the shop.
B. The writer got very angry when she found out what Alex had done.
C. The writer asked her son to go back to the store alone.
D. Alex paid for the toy with his money in the end.
【2】 Why didn’t they return the toy at last?
A. Because it had been broken.
B. Because Alex wanted to keep it.
C. Because the clerk at the shop refused to accept it.
D. Because the writer was nervous.
【3】What did the clerk do after Alex asked to pay for the toy?
A. The clerk reported him to police.
B. The clerk accepted his apology and the money nicely.
C. The clerk caught the boy and the writer.
D. The clerk didn’t say anything to the boy.
【4】Why did the writer ask Alex to pay for the toy?
A. Because she wanted him to learn a lesson.
B. Because she was afraid of being punished.
C. Because she didn’t like the toy.
D. Because the toy was not expensive.
24、 If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.
Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.
Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”. Thomas says, “If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You can say, ‘The place inside where I put my car’ or you can say, ‘It’s next to my house. I keep things there.’”
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” You can also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like, “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.”
How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you’re thinking in English.”
【1】When a second language becomes part of your “inner speech”, ________.
A.most people around you speak the language
B.you start thinking in the language
C.you translate things from your native language into it
D.you learn the language by yourself
【2】“The place inside where I put my car” is an example for ________
A.naming objects in your surroundings
B.thinking in simple sentences
C.describing objects you don’t know the words for
D.describing your daily activities
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Spend your time on exercises
B.Teach yourself a second language
C.Train your brain to think in English
D.Practice English wherever you are
