Anything that can be made into a soft wet mixture can be squeezed from a tube in a 3D printer. Instead of ink, these printers can use fruits, vegetables, proteins, sweets, and more. This makes for
22、 lots of combinations that can be healthy, delicious, and even artistic, which will be well received by people.Most 3D printers dont actually cook the food, at least not yet. Engineers at Columbia Universitys Creative Machines Lab invented an oven(烤箱) that cooks 3Dprinted pizza with laser beams(激光束)

33、l and creating demand for other ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.Of course, new technologies encourage farout claims. ANA doesnt plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult
34、 to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANAs traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies

40、re.”可推断作者举例子是为了证明虚拟旅游已经开始进入现实生活。故选B项。25C推理判断题。由第三段中的“Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon.demand for other ways to experience the world”可推断人们担忧航空造成的空气污染可能是虚拟旅游出现的原因。故选C项。26D推理判断题。由最后一段可知，ANA公司的机器人可能不会取代飞机，但它们一定会成为高科技旅游业未来的一部分(certainly be a par
41、t of travels hightech future)。也就是D项所说的“在未来的旅行中， Avatar机器人几乎是不可避免的(unavoidable)”。 27A主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章以一个例子引出话题，全文都是围绕虚拟旅游来写的，A项(Your Next Travel May Be Virtual)最能概括全文。 CIf you could travel in time，where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeares play in Elizabeth
42、an England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe youd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

43、wn example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by HG. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited w

The term “time machine”， coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possi
45、ble? Some scientists say yes，in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”， which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einsteins theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the
46、future with a really fast spaceshipgoing at nearly the speed of light, though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time
47、and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future？In H.G.Wells book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a be

51、节理解题。由第二段中的“Stories exploring the subject. is science fiction novel The Time Machine”(探索这一话题的故事已经存在几百年了，或许最著名的例子就是科幻小说时间机器)。可知，此处提及时间机器是为了说明人们很早就对时光旅行感兴趣了。所以选A项。29C推理判断题。由第四段内容可知，如果时光穿梭者回到过去，他的祖父因为某种原因而被杀死，那么时光旅行者就无法出生。如果时光旅行者没有出生，他怎么回来？所以选C项。30B推理判断题。由最后一段中的“If thats whats in store，maybe we are bet
52、ter just living in the present day after all.”可知，如果这样的事情发生，我们还是最好活在现在，所以作者对时光穿梭持怀疑的态度，所以选B项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Man Who Could See the FutureThe ability to predict the future is a rare talent.

55、candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications(作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. 35_F_A
56、simov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏)of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire(银河帝国).“His predictions are absolutely fascinating，” Calum Chase，an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.
57、” AAs a smart boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five.BSpace exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable.CBack in 1983，he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019.DOn the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate

59、幻作家阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。31C上文提到“美国作家艾萨克阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋”；下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知，空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。故C选项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。32D由“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century.”可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世
60、纪工业革命相当的革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色，他准确地预测了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容相关。33G由“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration.”可知，关于太空探索，他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言，我们不仅要拜访太空，还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关，且是预测结果。34A由“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents candy store”可知，他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。
61、所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A选项“作为一个聪明的男孩，阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学读书”承上启下。35F由空后一句“阿西莫夫掌握着科学和社会变革的脉搏”可知，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题，故选F项。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I wanted to be a journalist.

70、的其实是生活中的细节，所以她开始积极面对生活，享受日常中的美好。36A 由前文“I wanted to be a journalist.”以及后文“so off to engineering school I went.”可知，“我”想成为一名记者，但还是去了工程学校，是因为父母坚持认为(insisted)学数学能够赚钱谋生。 predict预测；recall 记起； order命令；预订。37C由下文“As a female _38_， I worked for a big oil company and owned a home.”可知，在“我”看来，作为一名女性，在一家大型石油公司工作，
71、拥有自己的家，这是一种传统意义上的(conventionally)成功。故选C项。38B由前文“so off to engineering school I went”可知，“我”去了工程学校，因此她应该是工程师(engineer)。故选B项。39Alay out展示；陈列； set down制定；把写下来；give out分发；宣布；put away把收拾起来。由下文“I didnt like what I saw”可知，“我”的生活应是被展示在自己的面前，所以不喜欢“所看到”的生活。故选A项。40D由下文“I said goodbye to my job and _41_ my suitc
72、ase.”可知，“我”辞去了工作，要去旅行，因此可推知，本句“left my _40_ behind”是要表达“我”将现在的生活抛在脑后。 41B由下文宾语为“my suitcase”可知，应是拉出(pull out)了行李箱。故选B项。42Cthrow oneself into投身于某事，用于句中表达“我”对于旅行和世界的热爱。故选C项。43D由下文宾语为“my knees”，可知，“我”应是骑山地自行车穿过犹他州的红岩时，膝盖受伤出血(bloodied)了。故选D项。44A由下文“through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back”可知，“我”应是在
73、黄石公园负重徒步旅行。故选A项。45B由下文宾语为“along the Danube River(沿着多瑙河)”可知，“我”应是沿着多瑙河散步，take a walk为固定结构，意为“散步”，符合句意。故选B项。46Amoment瞬间；时刻；conversation交谈； problem问题；routine惯例，常规。They指代上文提到的一些小事，它们是发生在国外的日常小事。故选A项。47Cfeeling感觉； quarrel争吵； landmark地标，里程碑； conflict争执；分歧。由前文提及的“the red rocks of Utah(犹他州的红岩)”“Budapest(布达佩
74、斯)”，“Yellowstone(黄石公园)”“the Danube River(多瑙河)”均为一些标志性的地点，因此本句要表达在“我”看来，这些地标性的地点并不是“我”旅行的价值所在。故选C项。48Cwise明智的；brave勇敢的；active积极的；tough艰苦的；坚强的。由前文“I _42_ myself alone into the world with the grace”可知，“我”积极地投身于“环游世界”中。49A由空后的地点状语“on the floor”可知，“我”应是花更多的时间躺在地板上听着唱片。故选A项。50Dconcern让担忧；涉及；shock使震惊；treat
75、对待；处理；治疗；surprise使惊喜。由下文“to see them smile”可知，“我”送花给朋友带给他们惊喜。故选D项。51D由前文“So, I did what any respectable 24yearold would do and left my _40_ behind. I said goodbye to my job and _41_ my suitcase.”提到的“我”把生活抛在脑后，和后文“for the next five years and touch down in dozens more countries”提及的“在接下来的五年里将去往更多的国家”可知
76、，这种情况对于“传统意义上的女性”来说是一种自私的(selfish)表现。52B由下文“theres adventure hiding in any aspect of my life”可知，作者已经认识到生活中隐藏了冒险，她对生活有了新的感悟，无须被之前的想法所困扰(bothers)了。故选B项。53B由下文“new wisdom earned in a year of travel”可知，“我”有了旅游的感想，对自己生活有了新的想法。be armed with 具备。54C由前文“becoming a(n) _48_ participant in my own life”可知，旅游带来了“
77、我”对生活的积极想法，因此本句应是表达“对生活中隐藏着冒险充满信心(confidence)”。故选C项。55D由前文“I know with complete _54_ that theres adventure hiding in any aspect of my life”可知，“我”已然知道在生活的各个方面都隐藏着冒险，只要我意识到去寻找它们。be awake to意识到。第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Humans have spent billions of dollars 56_trying_(
