21、See a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you’ll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting "print" on your computer. You might find it hard to believe that you could actually "print" an object as you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line, modem 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is — from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair —the smoother and finer the object will be. This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3-D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry — printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000, while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC. Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3-D printing can create just about anything you can think of --- flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3-D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3-D 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 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?", an expert in 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3-D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
【1】According to the article, in the future, the 3-D printing technology will .
A. enable people to make better purchases online
B. change the way we make many products i
C. be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
【2】What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?
A. The 3-D printing technology was taken out of the factory.
B. The 3-D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
C. The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.
D. 3-D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
【3】How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing the cause and effect.
D. By using figures.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Online Shopping Disappearing

22、You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.
While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.
“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.
【1】What is sleep paralysis?
A．A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B．A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.

C．Sharpened vision.
D．Sustained immobility.
【3】What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?

B．It can be a warning signal of diseases.
C．It is a temporary disturbing experience.
D．It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

C．Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis
D．Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move
23、 Dry ice is carbon dioxide in frozen form, with a temperature of about -78.3℃. 【1】 Instead, when dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice “smoking”, it’s frozen carbon dioxide melting into its gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in science experiments and for a good reason. It creates projects that look cool.
Experiment: Healthy Dry Ice Yogurt Popsicles (冰棍)
This dry ice experiment is a simple project, but it’s certainly wonderful. 【2】 Even kids as young as five will at least appreciate the observations. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.
Materials
One large block of dry ice
Large spoon or tube-shaped piece of metal
Four Popsicle sticks
One cup of your favorite juice
Tall glass filled with water
Directions
Use the large spoon, or tube-shaped piece of metal to make a Popsicle-shaped hole in the middle of the block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a towel on your counter to do this work. 【3】
Add a Popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the Popsicle stick.
【4】 After several minutes, remove the Popsicle from the block of dry ice and dip it into a tall glass of water. Do this to warm up the Popsicle just a bit first. 【5】 You are sure to succeed!
A. Prepare all the necessary materials.
B. Otherwise, it will be too cold to enjoy.
C. It has appeal to a wide range of audiences.
D. Unlike regular ice, dry ice doesn’t melt into a liquid.
E. Keep in mind that it’s okay if it’s not exactly Popsicle-shaped.
F. The number of experiments you can perform using dry ice is endless.
G. Hold the Popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your Popsicle to harden.
24、As teens grow older, it’s normal for them to spend more time with friends. It’s a normal part of teens’ development and a lot of socialization (社会化) is healthy. 【1】 If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to limit the amount of time your teen spends with friends.
Time with friends influences other responsibilities.If your teen ignores his responsibilities because he’s spending too much time with friends or chatting with them on social media, he needs help in managing his time. It shouldn’t get in the way of doing homework, finishing things, or taking care of other responsibilities. 【2】 Provide enough guidance until he’s better able to refuse invitations from friends.
【3】 Don’t stop your teen from having any contact with his friends. However, that is likely to cause bad results. Your teen may simply think he can’t hang out with his friends because you won’t let him — not because he recognizes they’re bad. Create rules that will help your teen make healthy choices. Make it clear that there will be results for misbehavior.
Your teen is breaking the rules. Spending time with friends is a special right. 【4】 Don’t give him unlimited access (接触的机会) to his friends if he’s not earning that special right.
Your teen is hardly at home. 【5】 If your teen wants to spend the night at friends’ homes more often than usual, set some limits to make sure that he’s spending time with family.
It’s important for you to pay attention to your teen’s activities. It’s also important that your teen is around so that he’s still being influenced by you and your family values.
A．But you should pay attention to it at once.
B．Your teen is hanging out with the wrong crowd.
C．He is also learning how to spend time with his friends.
D．But there are a few times when it can become unhealthy.
E．If your teen doesn’t follow the rules, take away that special right.
F．Time management is an important skill that will serve your teen.
G．While it is normal, friends shouldn’t take up all of your teen’s time.
